[opensuse] Another weirdness I just noticed..
by jfweber＠gilweber.com 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

The wallet app doesn't follow instructions. It closes even tho it's not supposed to, at least it isn't if it's supposed to stay open til the last application using it closes. It's supposed to be invisible . No icon in the panel but there it is, closed. That makes it unavailable to the apps that use it. Instead of asking for the password to open it, the program asks if you want to store whatever password in the config files of the app that needs that info from the wallet. No matter which way you decide to go, storing the passwords , for instance.. they aren't stored, At least not here so far. Most omoshiroii ! Gotta go look at the website/bug report page to see what's up. I'll do that after I had some sleep.. Just thought I'd add my voice to any others who may have discovered these little gems before me. Or to let you know it's still a tad wacky on things that they seem to be counting on for the real buzz to develop... -- j Don't try to explain it, just nod your head .

[opensuse] Scanner install.
by Erik Jakobsen 02 Dec '06

Hi. I would install my very old PhotoMaker 3E parallelscanner on my opensuse 10.1 Remastered, but it couldn't be found. Is there anything to do to get the scanner to run ?.

I've looked all over Suse and Novell's web site for the openxchange server. Is it still in existence? And does any one have a link? Or is not it now www.open-xchange.org )Open-Xchange ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] opensuse 10.2 feature question
by Greg Freemyer 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

All, I was just reading the kernel newbies page about the new features in 2.6.19: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_19 And saw: == FAT: Add "-o flush" mount option for fat for removable media devices (USB flash-based memory devices, MP3 players). Mounting with -o flush tells FAT to write things to disk as quickly as possible. It is like -o sync, but much faster (and not as safe). Think of it like a fast "async" mount (commit) == Does anyone know if this is in the SUSE 10.2 kernel? And if so, if the SUSE automount logic is using this flag instead of -o sync like 10.1 does?

[opensuse] remote upgrading
by Matthew Stringer 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

I have several SUSE 9.1 machines hosted in a remote DC. Now that 9.1 is out of support I'd like to upgrade them. Is it possible to do this remotely with only SSH connection. Want to avoid an 8 hour round trip if at all possible. I've had a good Google but seen anything conclusive.

[opensuse] Another (small) problem with 10.2rc1
by Simon Roberts 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

I've just noticed another change with 10.2rc1 (from 10.1) that's rather frustrating. It used to be that my .profile file would be executed on login, but this no longer appears to be the case. What's happened? What should I do to have things executed once on login (I don't want to use .bashrc, as that would have things executed with every new shell, and that's too much).

[opensuse] gotta love Ron
by James Tremblay 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

Ron is my kinda guy, as this quote from him proves he knows just how tight a rope he has to walk. "As for allegations that Novell has intentionally or naively entered a deal with the devil, Hovsepian was candid in his remarks: "We've been competing with Microsoft for 20 years. We didn't just get stupid overnight." http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/6334/1/ Keep up the great work Ron, and Steve will be asking you for help soon!!! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Re: How much memory does Suse need?
by d.gavrilovic 02 Dec '06

probably 256m is the bare minimum if you want to run KDE or Gnome. I once tried running 9.x on a 128mb system. Forget it.
