Thanks, Jim, It also works for me. The box is now in an Initializing catalogs window. I'm guessing it is a tough installation step! Let's see how online installation works!

X.org 7.1 is out
by Mathias Homann 23 May '06

23 May '06

hi, just read on heise that X.org 7.1 has been released... but when I look at suse supplementary, it looks as if version considerations stopped at 6.8.2... any particular reasons? any chance at all to get 7.1 packages for 10.0, or even 9.2, somewhere? 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).

Time in SUSE 10.1
by Martin Soltau 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hi again, this should be my last one for now: Everytime I start SUSE 10.1 the system time is 2 hours ahead of reality. What happens there and what can I do? Thank you and kind regards, Martin Soltau

Kodak Easyshare 340 not detected
by M. Fioretti 23 May '06

23 May '06

Greetings, I have a PC with Suse 10.1 beta (*). When I plug in this digital camera in the front USB port nothing happens. It isn't detected by gtkam or any other similar application (even if that exact model *is* listed among the supported cameras), it doesn't show in dmesg, nothing at all I can see. The same USB port works just fine in SUSE when I use it with portable usb drives. What could the problem be? How can I at least collect more information to figure out what is (not) happening? TIA, Marco (*) which I cannot upgrade in full or replace for a few weeks for several reasons unrelated with this issue, or even Linux in general... -- Marco Fioretti mfioretti, at the server mclink.it Fedora Core 5 for low memory http://www.rule-project.org/ Real Programmers don't play tennis, or any other sport that requires you to change clothes.

suse 10.1: usbhub over-current warning message
by Anders Kaestner 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hi, I recently installed SuSE 10.1 on a computer, the installation went on without problem but upon restart my screen was filled with the message hub 2-0:1.0: over-current change on port 1 (actually flipping between 1 and 2) the system starts but /var/log/message is rapidly filled the network adapter is not found (initially during install it was found) This did not happen with the RC1 and happens even if no usbdevices are connected Motherboard http://www.ibase-i.com.tw/mb800.htm Extra equipment: Network adapter : Linksys EG1032 (I tried to remove it) Can this be corrected with different settings or a bios upgrade?

And in making a "data CD" or DVD you have the option of doing all sorts of things to ensure overburning works, such as setting DAO mode and dropping the speed down. (For those who don't know, overburning is the process of putting more than 700MB on a 700MB CD, which can actually hold up to However, for some reason the same options do not exist when making a CD/DVD from an image (.bin/.iso) file. Go figure. I'm sure there's some reason. > Windows Sucks! Linux Works! Windows Crashes! Linux Has A.B.S & Airbags! lol -- k

serious electronic analysis s/w for Linux
by Doug McGarrett 23 May '06

23 May '06

Altho not designed for SuSE, and not free, Ansoft has made much of its high-end analysis and synthesis software available for Linux. It is designed to run on RedHat. This is a big jump into the Linux area by a well-known corporation in the electronics industry. Ansoft Designer is available for RedHat Enterprise V.3. See the URL here: http://www.ansoft.com/news/press_release/060421.cfm Perhaps it can be ported to SuSE without too much trouble--if you need the Ansoft packages, you might ask them. These are very powerful programs, and if you're in the RF electronics business, you need to look into them. I believe there are also programs useful in the design of IC's, and some, at least, are also available in Linux. There are some free demo prog's for Windows. I have not checked to see if they are available in Linux. The demos are useful, even tho limited. (I am a retired RF engineer, and have no financial interest in Ansoft. Or RedHat, for that matter.) --doug, wa2say -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.1.392 / Virus Database: 268.7.0/345 - Release Date: 5/22/2006

GNOME 2.14/15 and Ximian rants
by Pascal Bleser 22 May '06

22 May '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - From a technical point-of-view, this mail would belong to opensuse-packaging, but I'd like to address a more general problem, which is why I post here. I would really like to have an explanation: why is it that other distributions (e.g. Fedora and Ubuntu) already have packages for (at least) GNOME 2.14 but none are provided for SUSE Linux ? GNOME supplementary still ships 2.12. And now, the "general problem": I just don't see ex-Ximian people involved into openSUSE at all. Do they actually know that their employer has its own distribution called SUSE Linux ? Miguel de Icaza is leading GNOME AFAIK, and Novell employs quite a lot of GNOME developers.. so... where are the SUSE Linux packages ? This is really ridiculous. Try it yourself: spend some time on IRC in #suse or #opensuse and explain to some folks why SUSE Linux, the distribution owned by the company that has a lot of GNOME developers and even the GNOME lead on its payroll, does not provide up-to-date GNOME packages. Is anyone from Novell who is not part of the SUSE team in Nürnberg on this mailing-list at all ? Would be nice to know. Please raise some SMTP hands ;) cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser(a)skynet.be> <guru(a)unixtech.be> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEb6Ypr3NMWliFcXcRAtbSAJ0eawyyMZQEUNDOnYtJnyGaEIaRmwCdEdNj R87zIyto1jqar/mDpLcVzm4= =N/Ml -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

You can set > it by hand in k3b, but it is normally set to "auto". Interesting - this may be one instance where I'm going to have to try this on Wintendo. (I have Roxio on my Win2K system.) Apparently, you cannot set the speed - or any other option like TAO - when burning an image. The options tabs are simply greyed out. Command line didn't work either to set the speed down. On my laptop, the minimum burn speed is 8x. At least with the command line version, I can use a "dummy" flag to not write to the CDR.
