I need help getting past this point downloading smart-gui: # smart install smart-gui Loading cache... Updating cache... ###################################################################################### [100%] Computing transaction... Installing packages (1): smart-gui-0.42-14.guru.suse100@x86_64 76.7kB of package files are needed. 306.4kB will be used. Confirm changes?

So how do I 'make sure that /var/lib/smart/packages/smart-gui-0.42-14.guru.suse100.x86_64.rpm has a valid signature'? Or whatever else I need to know to make this work. I'm using Suse 10.0.

[opensuse] Ktorrent - Now what?
by Bob S 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Hello SuSE people, Running 10.0 on an X86.64 system Been watching the posts about bit-torrents with interest. Had never done that before and decided I would give it a whirl. Installed Ktorrent and about 12 hours later I have the following file sitting in it's download directory. openSUSE-10.2-Beta2_RC1-DVD-x86_64-delta-iso Claims to be 544.7mb. Not even sure if that is what I need/want. Is it ????? Soooo....and please excuse my ignorance....what is this that I have here? A full install of 10.2? Just make a DVD and go! Hmmm....doesn't seem logical. Pretty small. K3B doesn't like it much. Complains that "seems not to be a usable image" Not surprising seeing other posts and the capabilities of K3B. Oh well, the whole purpose is to keep my mind active and alert. Certainly does that. Aside from that, it would be nice to understand what it is that I am doing and end up with a state of the art SUSE. Thanks guys, Bob S. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SCO is toast... Novell go get em
by M Harris 01 Dec '06

http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20061129165103775 Well, it looks like SCO isn't going to get to use their *evidence* because de judge has slapped them hard with a devastating ruling... basically upholding the lower court's ruling that a sanction is warranted because SCO willfully violated discovery rules. ooops, SCO is toast, and Groklaw is vindicated. Go get em Novell... I'm rooting for you ! (trial coming up) ... and the good news is, you're going to have some new bucks to pursue the case--- from the M$ deal. cool~ huh? Ok Suse fans I have a very serious question for yous guys (and please don't tell me its off topic, cause it aint, so stay in your chair) .... I want to know who puts code into the kernel... please don't laugh... I'm serious. In other words, how in the world can SCO (or anybody else) accuse IBM (as a sole entity) of placing anything willfully into the kernel, when the kernel is not controlled by IBM, and when the kernel is contributed to from kernel developers world-wide...??? How much of the kernel comes from Novell? How much from Shuttleworths folks..??? how much from Redhat...oooops, I mean IBM?? yeah, right.... Look, either the kernel has System V code in it (copyright protected, or patented, or both) or it doesn't. This shouldn't be about discovery rules in a court of law for crying out loud. Either copyrighted code is in the kernel or not, and if so why can't SCO prevail??? (they shouldn't and I don't want them to, just a hypothetical question--) But that is not my real question... my real question is this: How hard would it be to pull M$ hooks out of the kernel (once they're in there) if and when they get discovered a year from now... ? ha-uummm??? Would it take a court order? ---years of litigation? you know... discovery, summary judgment petitions, rules and thousands of pages of B$ .... and all the time M$ has hooks into the kernel... Let's make sure from the top that that does not happen... please? -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Wireless ipw3945 Broadcom 4318
by Jay Smith 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

So this is a long story. I have OpenSuSE 10.1 Remastered on my computer. I have an ipw3945 chip in my computer. I have HORRIBLE range with it. MY computer is an MSI 1034 btw, one of those whitebooks, build it yourself things. Anyways, this 5 ft range really began to bug me so I ordered a new card, thinking that maybe the card is defective. I had the same exact problem. I decided to use a PCMCIA card from Linksys with the Broadcom 4318 drivers. Still no luck. I began to notice something though, my wireless is controlled by a button on the shell of my computer. when the button is off, wireless stops working COMPLETELY. Neither the Linksys nor the Intel wireless works, When I turn it on, it works... but with horrible range. Could it be a problem with my setup? I figure that there is something with my computer's way of handling wireless devices all together. Anyone have any idea on how I can imporve my wireless?

[opensuse] Get rid of zen-updater icon from systray
by Steven Martin 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Hi All, I've been googling for a couple of hours now and can't find any references for permanently removing the zen-updater icon from the system tray short of erasing the rpm. I have tried to save the current session with zen-updater removed from the session startup programs and the current programs in the Session dialog, too. When I start gnome, it always uses the default session. I have tried saving the session by giving it a name, but it doesn't show in the gnome session chooser at the login screen. Any clues? Thanks. -- Steven R.
