[opensuse] System mail in 10.3
by Adam Jimerson 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

How do you tell the system which user openSUSE should send the system mail to? I know in 10.2 this could be done through YaST -> User Management, but that option is not there in 10.3. Any one have a clue of where it has been moved to, or anyway other than YaST to do this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] windows that won't wobble with desktop effects enabled
by Frank Hale 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

Using desktop effects I've noticed several apps that won't wobble when moved (xterm, netbeans installer and netbeans), is there any particular reason for this? What criteria prevents windows from wobbling? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] New 10.3 install, can't get wireless to work
by Steve Jacobs 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

I've searched messages on this list, and haven't seen a solution to this yet. I've got a Dell lnspiron 8500, with the Dell TrueMobile 1300 wireless card. Under Win XP, and Suse 10.1 or 10.2 a long time ago using ndiswrapper, the wireless card works. My wireless network uses WPA2-Personal, AES. I've just installed openSuse 10.3 (32-bit). Following the install, the wireless would not connect. I saw in the install notes that if the network uses a non-broadcast ESSID, I may need to remove the intel wireless driver installed by default, and the other will install automatically. n my system neither of those intel drivers was installed by default. As my wireless card is Broadcom, not Intel, I guessed that was why neither was installed, and also guessed neither will work for me. Nevertheless, I tried each, one at a time, and neither one worked. After that, I removed those drivers (so far, all through YAST), and then added Ndiswrapper, again through Yast. Following the directions on the openSuse Ndiswrapper page, I tried installing the Win XP drivers for the Dell wireless card, to be used by Ndiswrapper. First, I tried using the driver found at the Ndiswrapper compatibility page. When that failed to work, I removed it (ndiswrapper -e), and tried using the driver supplied on Dell's webpage. (ndiswrapper -i) So far, I've still got no network connection. No errors, but no connection either. I've been following the instructions on a couple of pages: * http://en.opensuse.org/Ndiswrapper * http://www.opensuse.computerlanguages.org/ndiswrapper.php As an aside, I now have a few more options on the boot menu than I did before I started this attempt to get the wireless working. The various options are which kernel to boot in to, is that correct? My list includes: * XEN -- openSUSE 10.3 - 2.6.22.5-31 * XEN -- openSUSE 10.3 - 2.6.22.5-31 * openSUSE 10.3 - 2.6.22.5-31 * Failsafe -- openSUSE 10.3 - 2.6.22.5-31 * openSUSE 10.3 * openSUSE 10.3 (Failsafe) "openSUSE 10.3" is the default selection. I'm curious about the various choices, what distinguishes them, etc... - I suspect this is a separate question and should have it's own thread, but the various choices only appeared after I started performing the actions in the previously mentioned webpages, trying to get the wireless to work, so I thought there might be relevance to the main question.

[opensuse] How do I see if someone has tried to log on to my computer...
by JB2 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

Say I click on the 'lock' button on the taskbar (the one above the system on/off button). The screen goes black and if I hit a key on the keyboard or move the mouse, a small window pops up asking me for the user password. How do I find out if someone has tried to 'log in'? Even if they hit a key on accident or moves the mouse on accident, does the system log this too? If it's in a log somewhere, will it be easily human readable?

[opensuse] Ndisinstaller question.
by Erik Jakobsen 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

Hi. I have tried to use the Ndisinstaller on opensuse10.3 At the point of startup, Ndiswrapper show, that it cannot find 'kernel-headers' And the installed 'kernel-headers' are named linux-kernel-headers-2.6.22-19 in the 10.3 install. How can I change the name so that I can use Ndisinstaller ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
