[opensuse] suse 10, anti-aliased emacs
by Francesco Scaglioni 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

Hi, Have been trying to put together an anti-aliased emacs. Googling reveals several excellent screenshots and several deb packages. Trying alien on them produces dependency problems ( eg libpng required when an apt-get install libpng reposts that lates versio already installed etc etc ). Does anyone have any suggestions for an anti-aliased emacs ? ie _not_ an emacs running within an anti-aliased term ?

[opensuse] Video capture app - suggestion?
by Hans du Plooy 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

Hi guys, I'm looking for a simple gui app to capture video from either a PCI/USB TV tuner card. Both Kino and DVGrab only seem to work with FireWire devices. It needn't be fancy - just capture and be able tocut/copy/paste/delete parts of the captured stream.

[opensuse] Re: [opensuse-project] Site going down at release - solution

opensuse users, read ahead :-) thanks Anthony Bryan a écrit : > What I was proposing on the list (maybe not explicit > enough) was that the site goes into crisis mode. Only > list metalinks and torrents, and rely on p2p/mirrors to > distribute the ISOs. Either stop the main site from ISO > downloads, or severely limit it so the site can stay up. > Only list the most important info. to be practical, I propose that you spread this very post. I already crosspost to opensuse list. Here are the instruction, feel freee to edit is I made any mistake. If you have problems joining the opensuse.org site or any mirror during the first days of the 10.2 release, there is a solution. The solution is to use metalink. This utility, in very short summary, make a balance between all the available ftp sources and allows you to download from the better one. as long as the site is available you can look at http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version#Metalink The .metalink file is approximately like a torrent file, very small and easy to catch. you need a metalink client, there are many for any system (for example aria2 or wxDownload). then look at ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/openSUSE/distribution/ with your browser. This ftp is _not_ a opensuse mirror, so should not be down test your system with the 10.2 rc1, for example. GM and 10.2 are not yet functional, but will be asap (the dec 7) enjoy :-) -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/GPS_Lowrance_GO -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello, Does anyone know of a way to burn to CD or DVD a system's root dir and services, and make it bootable, in the event a catastrophic server crash? Many thanks in advance.

[opensuse] Rsync Problem - Need Help
by Clint Tinsley 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

I have a SuSE 10.1 server running the rsync --deamon (rcrcsyncd); it is running, I am able to connection but I am having permission problems when transferring files to it from both Windows and a SLES 10.0 server; it acts like it files are being transferred but when checking the destination folders on the rsync server, nothing is transferred and checking the log, a lot of permission errors. My rsyncd.conf: gid = users max connections = 0 transfer logging = true log format = $h %o $f $l $b log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log [PCtest] path = /test/PCtest comment = test rysnc area for PC Test read only = no use chroot = no timeout = 3600 hosts allow = 10.30.100.36 hosts deny = * I have tried remarking out the gid and trying chroot, yes and no. I also put in the uid and set to users. Nothing seems to work. I have played with the permissions on the test directory root:root and root:users, no success to report. Suggestions please. Almost would have to be some security issue with SuSE, not like I haven't experienced that before... Would appreciate any help or suggestions. TIA.

Re: [opensuse] (bug??) Another (small) problem with 10.2rc1

Try creating a symlink to .profile called .bash_profile. (Since you spoke of bashrc, I assume that you are using bash.) -- Regards, Aveek Bhattacharya IIT Bombay ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, this helps, but .bash_profile is executed _twice_ on login! What's that about?? So, the upshot is, I'm still a little below par as far as extending my path and so forth goes. I can do it the "hard way" (test and set a new environment variable and if the variable wasn't previously set, then extend my path, otherwise not) but one might hope the "easy way" (a working invocation to .profile or .bash_profile that is called exactly once during login) would be available still. Can these behaviors be considered a bug? Or should I quit my whinging and mess with an environment variable?
