Hi The Linux Foundation started a new survey on Desktop/Client usage. Form the introduction: "The information from this survey will assist the Linux Foundation Desktop Linux workgroup to focus on areas of development that are important to you. The results of this survey may also be valuable to your business. Once you complete the survey, you will be able to view the current aggregated public results of the survey. " No registration needed, you can see directly the results and it's even available in several languages. But: "The 2007 Linux Desktop/Client Survey asks you to answer a few questions based on your company's desktop/client plans and not necessarily your personal desktop usage." http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/2007ClientSurvey -- with kind regards, Martin Lasarsch, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) martin.lasarsch(a)suse.de - http://www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Slightly OT: Like Apple Remote Desktop.
by todd＠sohovfx.com 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hey gang, I've been administering a medium sized linux/osx network. On the OSX network Apple has this great tool called Remote Desktop that allows me to view/control workstations, install software, run scripts and generate a plethora of reports. I've been administering the linux side via scripts for the most part, but I'm sure someone must have made a tool like Remote Desktop for Linux by now. Any ideas?

[opensuse] Can I do this with rsync?
by Robert Smits 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

I have a number of systems I'd like to regularly back up with rsync. Let me describe them. Computer 1 is my main desktop at home. It runs 24-7 and has a 500 GB USB SATA drive to do back ups on. It uses OpenSuse 10.2. It is networked to all other computers in the house with nfs. Computer 2 is my laptop, which goes everywhere. At home it is networked to Computer 1 and 3 with nfs. At work it is networked to my work computer (also running nfs). It runs OpenSuse 10.3. Computer 3 is my wife's desktop at home. It uses OpenSuse 10.2 and is networked to computers 1 and 2. Computer 4 is my work computer, a desktop running OpenSuse 10.2 and networked to my laptop with nfs when I am there. What I'd like to do is regularly make backups of: 1. my files on my desktop to my USB drive. 2. my files on my laptop, which are a subset of the files on my desktop, to my desktop. 3. my files on my work computer to my laptop. Am I going to have file permission problems doing it this way? (My home partition has the same name on each computer). Other suggestions about how to organize this are gratefully received.

[opensuse] New Printer Info
by Dennis J. Tuchler 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

I am looking for users' experience with printers under OpenSuSE. My Lexmark Optra E310 gave up the ghost, and I am looking for a replacement. I need it for small jobs (10 pages or fewer) but with reasonable speed. If possible, a color option would be useful. If you have advice as to what to get, I would appreciate hearing from you. -- Best regards, Dennis J.

[opensuse] 10.3 not booting, 10.2 nearly booting on FSC Primergy RX330 S1
by Felix Schäfer 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hello everyone, We just received a brand new server, and I just spent several hours trying to install OpenSuse on it, but couldn't get it to. The Hardware is a Fujitsu-Siemens Primergy RX330 S1 (product page here http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/products/standard_servers/rack/ primergy_rx330s1.html ), and I tried both the 10.3, and then the 10.2 net install discs. I even tried the 10.3 Gnome install CD, just to be sure. (Note: all 3 are the x86_64 flavors) Both 10.3 discs didn't even get me to any menu or anything: I would get grub (is it grub?), and go to the normal installation. It then tries to load a bunch of modules (first was pata_serverworks, which crashed and I subsequently had to deactivate it with brokenmodules), eventually getting to the NICs, and crashes after that. Even disabling the module it tries to load then (tg3) doesn't help, it does nothing for a few seconds (cursor blinks), and then just reboots. I tried disabling the NICs in the BIOS (all of them, even the management thing), but it still tries to load the module. I had a little more luck with the 10.2 disc, as I could get to the "installation or other stuff" menu (can't remember what exactly is in there) without the need to disable or block any modules, and I can start the http installation, it downloads the image for the graphical installation, it even gets there, probes the mouse (little window hovering), the window disappears, the "menu" on the left hand appears, and the thing crashes. No error, no nothing which could give me any information about what causes the problem. I then tried different other discs I had lying around: a minimal Gentoo x86, a Gentoo LiveCD x86_64, a Damn Small Linux x86, but none worked as expected. The Gentoo discs fail while trying to mount /dev/ hda (the optical drive), and the DSL doesn't manage to start an X, and defaults to the CLI Interface, but I don't get networking or anything, even USB is broken somehow (tried to copy the ouput from lspci). Any suggestions what I could try from here on? Or this there someone out there with the same server who managed to get _any_ GNU/Linux distribution on it?
