New wide screen 19" monitors vs. suse
by John R. Sowden 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

Has anyone tried the 19" wide screen monitors on a suse box yet? Does version matter? I am currently using 9.3, waiting for my 10.1 dvd to arrive. Can I see a wider spreadsheet? How do I set it up? an on and on ... tia, -- John R. Sowden AMERICAN SENTRY SYSTEMS, INC.

How to extract crabapple wallpaper from GNOME on 10.1?
by Shriramana Sharma 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

Dear friends, I am a KDE person but my father has installed SUSE 10.1 to boot to GNOME by default. I saw a very nice "Crabapple" flower image on the desktop and wanted to copy this to take to my machine which does not have GNOME installed. But the GNOME Control Center was totally unhelpful in finding the path of the crabapple file (whereas KDE Control Center clearly tells it) and even the file search returned zero results. Please tell me where GNOME on SUSE 10.1 keeps its wallpapers so I can copy the file I like. Thanks. Shriramana Sharma.

wireless woes
by James Bethune 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

Hello all, I am having trouble getting my wifi connection running. I have installed ndiswrapper as well as the windows driver I needed, and configured the card through YaST. I am currently able to recognize the networks in the area and when I try to connect to them all goes smoothly until the activation stage "IP configuration started" where it stays until it invariably fails. I have a Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g and I installed the .inf file bcmwl5a.inf in ndiswrapper The output of iwconfig contains under wlan0 "Rx invalid nwid" "Rx invalid crypt" and "Rx invalid frag" I dont know what this means. Please pardon any and all terminology errors and stupid questions, I am new to linux Thanks James _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

SPAM: SuSE 10.1 access to CD/DVD denied
by MindBender 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Hello all, I think there was non e-mail about accessing CD/DVD a while ago. The problem appear to be recent, when I put a CD/DVD into the drive the Os will ask if I want to open the CD/DVD and when I click yes it will return with permission denied. But I can open the CD/DVD with my guest Os running in Vmware. The problem exists even if Vmware is not running to avoid sharing violation. Thanks for any help. |__|___|___|__\\|// - ?__|___|_____|___|_____| |__|___|___|__(o o)______|___|_____|___|_____| |__|___|___oOOO(_)OOOo____|___|_____|___|_____| email : ephlodur(a)rocketmail.com What we need is Awareness we can't get carelless. --------------------------------- How low will we go?
