Hey guys - Liking OpenSuse 10.3 - In fact 5.something was my first ever Linux install ;) Anywhoo I digress - Is there an easy way at all to get my fonts looking something like decent? Thunderbird fonts are especially horrid looking... -- Martin Hooper http://www.martinjh.myby.co.uk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] suse 10.3 can't get wireless to work
by Joe Zien 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

I downloaded opensuse-10.3-GM-KDE-i386.iso from the Novell site "download.opensuse.org" and it installed ok on my ThinkPad T60 laptop. When I first tried to install, it could not find and install my wireless card so it could not install upgrades, so I had to install without upgrades. Mepis 6.5 and pclinuxos 2007 recognized the wireless and I was on the internet immediately so my wireless is ok. How do I get suse 10.3 to recognize my wireless? I trie to use yast2 to try to get my wireless working, no success. jozien -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Xorg Version openSUSE 10.3
by Ben Kevan 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

So, I remember it saying it was going to ship with Xorg 7.3, but to my suprise the version shipped is actually 7.2-135 and not 7.3-143.2 which is on the Xorg73 BuildService (which I have added and upgraded to). Was it really shipped with 7.2? Or are they considering the 7.2-135 to be an older buildservice of the 7.3 branch? Thanks.

[opensuse] Lowercase filenames to uppercase?
by Lars Norén 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

Hello everybody. After updating from openSUSE 10.2 (32 bit) to the gorgeous green 10.3 and restoring the backup from a USB-hdd, all filenames (.doc-, .odt-, .rtf- and .pdf-files) in a folder on the HTTP-server are lowercase -- is there a way to make them uppercase again? The files are in a lot of subfolders but there is only one level of subfolders. I've Googled for 'uppercase filename linux suse' but didn't find anything I could use. I'm thankfull for any tips, tricks or hints. /Lars -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

OS: SuSe 10.0 I have been experimenting with the new Tandberg RDX QuickStore, formatting an ext3 filesystem with encryption. It is a USB attached so I simply removed and reinserted it and it had detected and apparently crested devices /dev/sdc and /dev/sdc1 (whereas it was originally /dev/sdb and sdb1) and showed up with in a "df -v" listing as /dev/loop0 /media/usbdisk I tried doing a manual mount using both /dev/loop-and /dev/sdc1 but received the following errors: Oct 6 20:31:07 <hostname> kernel: Vendor: TANDBERG Model: RDX Rev: 2021 Oct 6 20:31:07 <hostname> kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Oct 6 20:31:07 <hostname> kernel: SCSI device sdc: 156293296 512-byte hdwr sectors (80022 MB) Oct 6 20:31:07 <hostname> kernel: sdc: Write Protect is off Oct 6 20:31:07 <hostname> kernel: sdc: assuming drive cache: write through Oct 6 20:31:07 <hostname> kernel: SCSI device sdc: 156293296 512-byte hdwr sectors (80022 MB) Oct 6 20:31:07 <hostname> kernel: sdc: Write Protect is off Oct 6 20:31:07 <hostname> kernel: sdc: assuming drive cache: write through Oct 6 20:31:07 <hostname> kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sdc at scsi4, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Oct 6 20:31:07 <hostname> kernel: Attached scsi generic sg2 at scsi4, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0 Oct 6 20:31:26 <hostname> kernel: sdc: Spinning up disk.....<5>sdc: Spinning up disk....ready Oct 6 20:31:26 <hostname> kernel: SCSI device sdc: 156293296 512-byte hdwr sectors (80022 MB) Oct 6 20:31:26 <hostname> kernel: sdc: Write Protect is off Oct 6 20:31:26 <hostname> kernel: sdc: assuming drive cache: write through Oct 6 20:31:26 <hostname> kernel: SCSI device sdc: 156293296 512-byte hdwr sectors (80022 MB) Oct 6 20:31:26 <hostname> kernel: sdc: Write Protect is off Oct 6 20:31:26 <hostname> kernel: sdc: assuming drive cache: write through Oct 6 20:33:10 <hostname> kernel: scsi3 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device Oct 6 20:33:10 <hostname> kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 0 Oct 6 20:33:10 <hostname> kernel: scsi3 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device Oct 6 20:33:10 <hostname> kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 0 Oct 6 20:33:10 <hostname> kernel: Buffer I/O error on device loop0, logical block 0 Oct 6 20:33:10 <hostname> kernel: scsi3 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device Oct 6 20:33:10 <hostname> kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 1 Oct 6 20:33:10 <hostname> kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 2 Oct 6 20:33:10 <hostname> kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 3 Oct 6 20:33:10 <hostname> kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 4 Oct 6 20:33:10 <hostname> kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 5 Oct 6 20:33:10 <hostname> kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 6 Oct 6 20:33:10 <hostname> kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 7 Oct 6 20:33:10 <hostname> kernel: scsi3 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device Oct 6 20:33:10 <hostname> last message repeated 10 times Oct 6 20:34:08 <hostname> kernel: sdc: Spinning up disk.....<5>sdc: Spinning up disk....ready Oct 6 20:34:08 <hostname> kernel: SCSI device sdc: 156293296 512-byte hdwr sectors (80022 MB) Oct 6 20:34:08 <hostname> kernel: sdc: Write Protect is off Oct 6 20:34:08 <hostname> kernel: sdc: assuming drive cache: write through Oct 6 20:34:08 <hostname> kernel: SCSI device sdc: 156293296 512-byte hdwr sectors (80022 MB) Oct 6 20:34:08 <hostname> kernel: sdc: Write Protect is off Oct 6 20:34:08 <hostname> kernel: sdc: assuming drive cache: write through Oct 6 20:51:03 <hostname> kernel: FAT: invalid media value (0xf3) Oct 6 20:51:03 <hostname> kernel: HFS+-fs: unable to find HFS+ superblock Oct 6 20:51:17 <hostname> kernel: VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdc1.

How is the home page changed in Konqueror? I've notice in 10.3 that the Konqueror web browser insists on going to the OpenSUSE site and I can't find any setting to change that. tnx jk -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
