[opensuse] Gnome stable on SUSE 10.0 ... and evolution
by Roger Oberholtzer 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

Before you say 'it is always risky to update', I know all that. I just updated my 10.0 GNOME to the stable version opensuse. Well, evolution is no longer a happy camper. It starts and hangs. An strace shows it is stopped in a futex call. Anyone else done this upgrade? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

[opensuse] Asus P4P800 ( ICH5R ) problem when installing openSUSE 10.2
by Rui Santos 17 Feb '07

17 Feb '07

Hi all, Hope someone can help me: I own a P4P800 Deluxe, with a ICH5R chipset, a DVD+-RW Drive ( PATA ) and a HD ( SATA ). When I select the install option, upon booting from the dvd, a while later appears a message that says that it cannot find the dvd. Also, the manual installation program claims that it cannot find any dvd/cd-rom. The HD is detected though... What can I do solve this. I'm running SuSE 10.1 like a charm...

You're seeing more than one problem, none of which I believe have anything to do with fontconfig (but I may be wrong). 1-SUSE 10.2 KDE has broken anti-alias configuration. It defaults to "full", but when set to "full" is actually off/none. Go into your personal settings and change your anti-alias setting to medium or slight according to your own preferences. I use medium. 2-The difference in font sizes in the screenshots show clearly that 10.1 and 10.2 are running different DPI. Since I don't use NVidia drivers I can't say exactly how to fix it, but it may be that UseEDIDdpi is being used in the latter and not the former or vice versa. http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html might be helpful in fine-tuning your DPI. It looks like your 2nd screenshot is the 10.2 one, probably still running 84 DPI like you wrote in your other thread, while the first is at the higher DPI of 96 as you set it. 16pt at 84 DPI is 18.67px, while 16pt at 96 DPI is 21.33px. http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/Font/font-helvetica.html might be helpful in doing comparisons. My 10.2 fonts are good, as were my 10.1 fonts, and their sizes haven't changed. I'm using generic Intel & Matrox drivers on various 10.1 & 10.2 systems. -- "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse] Formatting a USB memory stick
by Joseph Loo 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

I have a memory stick that works under 10.0 and 10.1. In 10.2 the stick is not recognizable because the partion table is not recognized. I was thinking of repartition the stick and reformat it. Is it possible to do this under 10.2. I tried YAST but the driver does not show up at all. -- Joseph Loo jloo(a)acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

There's only one entry which is as follows: (hd0) /dev/mapper/sil_ahabbjcdfeab I am assuming that it should have more than this?

[opensuse] Have 4G, any reason to use x86_64 over i386?
by Linda Walsh 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

I have an Intel cpu / 64-bit extensions on a machine with 4G of memory. Just want some confirmation (or not)...it seems like i386 would currently be my best choice: all memory is accessible, no program I am running needs >2G addr space, 32-bit programs execute faster and will likely be smaller than the equivalent 64-bit programs (and libraries). As long as I have under 4G mem (and my apps need <2-3G), I see only "downsides" to moving to the x86-64 version. Am I missing something or is this pretty much the "consensus view" (assuming there is one :-)).

[opensuse] rsync syntax
by Carl Hartung 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Hi All, I need to start synchronizing a 'live' website, nightly, with the 'master' copy residing under ~/public_html/ on my local box. I have user account level ssh access to the server and, when I log in, it 'lands' me at /home/user/ ('~/'), directly above the 'live' website directory at ~/public_html/ (is symlinked to ~/www/). I'm sure there are many people on this list who know how to do this. I *sort of* know since I use rsync locally on a daily basis. However, the 'live' site lives on a production box and just don't feel like experimenting. :-) Any recommendations/advice on the correct syntax to use with rsync? TIA & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] (incomplete) list of possibilities (and impossibilities) to play mp3 on SuSE 10.2

The point is that if an individual does not like the current policy then they are forced to abandon it or replace it with something better. What we are trying to accomplish here (before you so rudely broke in with irrelevant ranting) is to convince Zhang Weiwu that if he does not like the current mp3 out-of-box situation with Suse then he must figure out a solution that works for him or stop using mp3. My "personal choice" is to stop using mp3--- and I have. I am not in a position to force you to do the same, nor would I spend even a split second of time trying to convince you. However; I do feel that Ogg will eventually replace it as an open standard. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
