[opensuse] clipboard behavior
by Clayton 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

I am having a problem with the clipboard that is really annoying me. It is not openSUSE specific, but happens with openSUSE as well as with other Unix OSes. I am working in a MeidaWiki, making changes to a bunch of pages. The work flow is: - edit a wiki page - paste in the new text with Ctrl+V - highlight and delete some old text - save the edits - move on to the next page The changes cannot be scripted because the deleted text is not the same in every page, and the pasted text goes in different spots depending on the page. Anyway, this all works fine until I happen to click away from Firefox... for example to restore Thunderbird to check my email. No other clicking.. just restore Thunderbird and read but not edit or reply to messages (so, no copy paste actions and no text highlighting)... then I return to Firefox. When I return to Firefox, the text in the Ctrl+C clipboard buffer has been replaced by the text that was last highlighted in the workflow above. This happens on openSUSE10.2 in KDE and Gnome... as well as in Solaris with Gnome... sadly it is not consistent.... it doesn't happen every time I click away... maybe half the time. Has anyone else bumped into this? Any ideas or suggestions how to prevent the Ctrl+C clipboard from loosing it's copied data?

[opensuse] Symbol error in Terminal

I just discovered that when I want to make the '+' sign in Gnome-Terminal, I instead get a very tiny lowscript + sign (barely visible.) This doesn't happen in Konsole.

[opensuse] YaST2 SSHD Module - Your Opinion Counts!
by Lukas Ocilka 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hi, ==About== Many of you have already discovered a 'new' YaST configuration module for configuring sshd server. Even if the initial yast2-sshd module was written just for educational purpose (YaST Tutorial: Teaching developers how to write their own YaST modules), we've decided to build it for openSUSE 10.3 and make available for others too. However, considering some enhancement requests, we've found out that the current YaST module needs some improvements to be easier to understand, 'cool' and 'sexy' ;) ==How can I help?== And this is where you can contribute to the development because your opinion counts! I've created a wiki page for tracking yast2-sshd enhancement request - a specialized wishlist. Of course, you don't only need to file an enhancement, we also accept patches :) Wishlist page: http://en.opensuse.org/YaST_SSHD_Server/Enhancements_WIP ==Links== * Repositories containing the yast2-sshd package http://software.opensuse.org/search * The current YaST tutorial containing howto-yast2-sshd http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL10.3/tutorials/t1.html * The current YaST SVN (yast2-sshd) http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/sshd/ Thanks and Bye Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o., Lihovarska 1060/12, Praha 9, Czech Republic

[opensuse] Evolution: stalling
by James Tremblay 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hey guys, I just installed 10.3 on my spare HD for may laptop, I decided to fore go the use of my previous home and build a new. After downloading some 10000 e-mails I started to build all new filter rules, several times during this process Evolution would become unresponsive(grayed out) for upwards of five minutes during different tasks like, creating new folders, moving mail, mail retrieval, applying filters. This is new, I have done this at least once for every version of openSUSE since 10.0. Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem?

[opensuse] KDE - cool newbie trick

I just happened to have my mouse hovering over the task bar and started rolling the thumb wheel. My various windows started popping into the foreground. Pretty cool.

Yes I was. As root, cd into /usr/src/linux and run make cloneconfig then make bzImage. When this completes run make modules. This may be all that is necessary. Go back to your ipw3945-1.2.2 directory and try make.

What needs to be installed to get the equalizer to show up in amarok? It is a greyed out option under tools on my system. I have installed the mp3/restricted format files as well.
