[opensuse] color in rxvt-unicode
by Joseph Comfort 02 Jan '07

02 Jan '07

The rxvt terminal was nice in that it provided color to directory listings (like xterm), and also to man-page output. Now that rxvt has been removed in 10.2 and rxvt-unicode is to be used in its place (a good thing), the color feature is only partly available. To get color in the directory listings, the line 'TERM rxvt-unicode' must be added to /etc/DIR_COLORS. However, I can not find a way to get color in the man-page outputs. I use my own .Xdefaults resource file, and modified it very slightly to make some of the rxvt options available to urxvt. Some suggestions or solutions would be much appreciated. Thank you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

RE: [opensuse] Re: cvs to subversion

From my SVN cheat sheet: Migration of a Project from CVS to SVN: ======================================= Create a dump file from the CVS repository: project=XXX cvs2svn --dump-only --dumpfile=$project.svndump --use-cvs \ --cvs-revnums --no-default-eol $CVSROOT/$project The option --symbol-transform allows to transform tag names, e.g., to map hyphens or underscores to dots. With svndumpfilter one can change the created dump file: Remove parts of the repository, or specify which parts shall be imported. Load the dump file into the SVN depot; to do on the SVN-Server: svn mkdir svn+ssh://svn/$project svnadmin load --parent-dir=$project /data/SVN/depot <$project.svndump There is also a script verify-svn to check the migration. This must be tested, I haven't tried it yet. =============== I hope that the mail gateway won't insert new lines above. Of course, your SVN base URL (above: svn+ssh://svn/) and your SVN repository directory (above: /data/SVN/depot/) will be different than mine. ~~~ Thank you. It helps a lot. What is 'project=XXX'? Is that in a file? I created the dir called svnrepos for subversion. The cvsroot dir contains all of the CVS data & projects. Does the above command just do one project at a time? If so, is there a way to it all at once? Thank you, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Software Updater not updating

Hi all, first off, happy new year 2007 to everybody! :-) I've been away from my email so please bear with me when this subject has already been discussed before...

[opensuse] Routing Question
by ka1ifq 01 Jan '07

01 Jan '07

Hello All: I have a home network with 6 mixed os machines connected to a router for internet access, this all works great. I would like to add another network card to my main machine just for a VNC connection on a seperate network, as this would be an endpoint I am not sure how to proceed and all of the books I have don't cover anything like this or are just too old.

[opensuse] Re: [opensuse-security] Security report from rkhunter on default install of openSUSE 10.2

But I don't feel they are a security risk, just things rkhunter > doesn't know about and hasn't been updated to know. I agree with Carlos. The best advice is to turn on Novell's AppArmor and forget about examining every little thing in the file system. /dev and /proc are virtual file systems anyway (the files in there don't even really exist on the disk), and best left to the system to manage. If you really want to know what is using a file do losf | grep "name of file" The basic advice is have a beer, its new years, you are not running windows, so stop worrying. Suse installs rather securely, Don't run any services you don't need and you will be fine. Unlike windows, you can put a fresh Suse install directly on the internet without a router or firewall and you will be quite safe. It sounds like someone read the same web-zine about root kit hunter that every other ex-windows-addict saw and didn't realize it was written by another ex-windows-addict, with no real understanding about Linux. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kate Document Tab
by Kai Ponte 01 Jan '07

01 Jan '07

I don't know if this is the right place to post, but I have a Kate-related question. Whenever I open a text file (php, txt, htm, asp, sql) in Kate, which I do quite often, I see a tab on the left showing the open documents I have. I can click it to "minimize" it to the left, but it always is there. I'd prefer to have the screen real estate. I've looked and cannot find an option for this to be "minimized" by default. Is there such an option? -- kai - theperfectreign(a)yahoo.com www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com wo ist der ort für den ehrlichsten kuss ich weiss, dass ich ihn für uns finden muss... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Javascript issues (i think)
by ianseeks 01 Jan '07

01 Jan '07

Hi All Happy New Year and all that. This "problem" started with Google video in Opera 9.02 - i'd enter www.google.com (redirects me to www.google.co.uk) the select "More" the select "Video" which takes me to "http://video.google.co.uk/". I get a list of videos to select and I pick on at random and it gives me a new page with just the titles on it. (see NoVideo1.png) If you turn on the error console for Javascript, its fills rapidly. So i tried Konq and I got the same results so i clicked on the bug symbol and got these errors (see NoVideo2.png) And it also happened in Firefox 2. and IE6 (using IE4Linux- not tried via Windows) And i got the same sorts of results from www.fordvehicles.com (see NoVideo3.png) is it possible that 2 large sites like this can have pages that error on the www or am I going off my trolley? Am i going to have to revisit that bottle of Port? regards Ian
