[opensuse] 10.3 and powermanagement
by Andreas 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

I am sure it is something very obvious, yet I can't seem to find a way to configure the powermanagement in openSUSE 10.3. YaST is missing the power-management module and in KPowersave all options are 'greyed out'. Any pointers? -- Gruß Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenOffice Impress sound
by Robert Lewis 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Impress does not play sound on Linux. However, it does with Openoffice on XP. I have had an exchange with the developer and now understand what is causing the delay on Linux. He offers this as a work around while they are sorting out the real solution. http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=50506&view=next However, it would be nice to substitute on SUSE 10.2 fmj which is available for SUSE 10.2 either from Packman or SUSE, I don't remember. However, I have not got that to work. In addition I have not been able to translate his instructions for jmf to a working solution as yet. If anyone knows how to get this working on SUSE and would willing to write up something clear for the rest of that would really be neat.

[opensuse] RAID5 & Power outages
by Ciro Iriarte 22 Nov '07

22 Nov '07

Anybody has experience with linux Raid5 and power outages?, i currently have two 250GB disks in a RAID1 array in my main workstation. When there's any power outage the array is rebuilt but given it's a mirror it's not a major issue. Now i would like to add 4 500GB disks in a secondary array with raid5 but i'm afraid i would lose the array if there's any outage (have to mention a UPS in my letter to Santa....) Anybody knows if the raid5 (md) would survive this scenario?

[opensuse] OpenOffice.org Fast Launch?
by Donald D Henson 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Some time ago, I remember seeing a discussion about a way to speed up the launch of OpenOffice.org modules. Now I can't find any reference to it. I can find references to 'quick launch' but that refers to putting icons on the quicklaunch panel. Does anyone else remember such a discussion or am I just going nuts in my old age? Thanks for any assistance. Don Henson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Zoltan Levardy 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

dear list members, i am going to install 10.3 x86-64 on ibm thinkpad z61m. I would like to ask any thinkpad gurus, is there anything i should worry or care about? Because of i am quite not sure how the "ThinkVantage" stuffs are "hidden" on the buildin harddrive. It would be nice to keep those things and do not want to lose my backups made from win xp. So, i am looking for partitioning hints.... many thanks, z -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Help with Java installation on SuSE 10.3
by Maura Edelweiss Monville 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

I'm trying to install the GUI for R on SuSE 10.3. The package and instructions are from: http://rosuda.org/JGR/down.shtml Since I need the latest Java package I clicked on Linux Tips page There are no specific instructions for SuSe 10.3 so i kind of followed the instructions listed for SuSE 10.2 I clicked on SuSE Java page >From here I tried to install Java from Yast but I got lost when I had to select a directory pathname. I browsed through the directory pub/opensuse/distribution on different mirror sites and was unable to find Java. I got lost in the maze of links that brought me nowhere. Can you please sow me the right way ? Thank you in advance.

[opensuse] How to install independant RPM packages in SUSE 10.3 GNOME?
by Kevin Dupuy 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Hello everyone! I'm having trouble wit Gtkpod 0.99.10, and I'm trying to install an independent RPM of Gtkpod 0.99.8 (or whatever). I downloaded the file and double clicked on it, but it appeared it wanted me to extract the RPM package. Since I know that's not what it's supposed to do, I right clicked and selected "Open with Install Software". It appeared to start loading all the repos, then closed the window. How can I install these RPMs on SUSE with a GUI? Do I need to use the command line? -- Kevin Dupuy <kevindupuy(a)bellsouth.net> Yo.media -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] mysql starts with --skip-grant-tables
by Adam Fisher 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

I did a fresh install of 10.2 and now when I start mysql (rcmysql start). It starts with --skip-grant-tables and the mysql.sock is loaded in /var/run/mysql/.protected folder. I have apparmor turned off and don't see how it is installed in chroot. In my.cnf it is not listed as well. Any ideas?
