I have just learned that Omnipage is also available for the Mac, and my friend who uses it on a Mac highly recommends it. It may be called "Nuance" today. Anyway, a Google for Omnipage will find it. Also, there seem to be plans to port it to Linux. See www.nuance.com/omnipage/capturesdk/linux/ --doug -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

RE: [SLE] After KDE Patches last night from YOU no desktop

-----Original Message----- From: Roberto Almeida [mailto:ralmeida@icreativa.com.mx] Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 12:23 PM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] After KDE Patches last night from YOU no desktop I was on same situation. My desktop is KDE 3.5. The problem was: (1) On YOU i selected some kde patches (2) reboot (3) No desktop. Cursor was OK, sound was OK, no menubar, etc. The solution was: (1) Login as root (on another shell or terminal) (2) Execute yast2 (3) reinstalled kdelibs 3.5.x (was marked for upgrade). I think the problem was that i selected some patches for kde 3.4.x on YOU. Roberto, Thank you very much that must have been exactly what I did. I have to start paying closer attention to that. Thank you again.

Refreshing the source in yast2 sw_single should be skippable
by Silviu Marin-Caea 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Say, if I want to install a single package that I know it's on the media, I have to wait for yast2 to complete refreshing all the installation sources that I have defined. And some of them are large and are on the internet. There isn't any way to skip the refreshing just once, this time. Consequently, a task that should take 1 minute takes 10. Not optimal. If yast2 sw_single + YOU is going to be replaced soon with something from the grander vision, very well, then it's not justified spending resources on this. Else, some buttons or CLI options that will skip the refresh wouldn't hurt.

Hi Tried to install Firefox with apt-get. "apt-get install MozillaFirefox" But the ver of firefox there is just 1.0.7, is there another way to install the firefox with the apt-get? How can I install it in another way if it is not possible with apt-get? Have tried to just download the compressed file from mozilla.com and have been able to get 1.5 to start but what is the right way to install a program from a compressed file (where do I put it and so on)? Have no knowledge in the world of Linux, but hoping to learn :)..... /Per

question about opensuse/ppc
by Mathias Homann 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Hi, I've got a serious question for you guys: Would you say that "opensuse 10.x/ppc on an old g3 or g4 mac" is a good idea for someone who has NO computer experience at all, and is ... well, old. Background: A computer for my mom, to send mails and browse the web. She has no experience with computers at all, so no matter what i give her, i'll have to do support for it. And right now I might be able to wrestle an old mac (g3 or g4 i think) out of the greedy hands of my companies basement storeroom where it sits unused, collecting dust (and maybe worse). And since I have no clue about macos, it will most likely be running opensuse/ppc + KDE 3.5.x. Ist that a good idea, or am I digging my own grave here? bye, MH -- Die unaufgeforderte Zusendung einer Werbemail an Privatleute verstößt gegen §1 UWG und §823 I BGB (Beschluß des LG Berlin vom 2.8.1998 Az: 16 O 201/98).
