[opensuse] OpenOffice 2.3.0 - Where oh where has my icon gone?
by Daniel Feiglin 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Hello Folks! After following the thread on OpenOffice 2.3.0, I tried the install (upgrade of 2.2.x, o/s version10.2). It went fine and everything works ... except that all of the menu icons have disappeared and all you see is text in their place. Does anyone have any idea of what's gone awry? Daniel

[opensuse] 10.3 -- Well done!
by Buddy Coffey 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

I want to add my "well done" for a most excellent 10.3 release. The smoothness of the update mechanism is worth the switch if nothing else, especially for those who remember the disastrous 10.1 release. I upgraded from 10.2 to 10.3 rather than doing a fresh install. I was asked to resolve some package conflicts (due to my adding non-openSuSE rpms it would seem). I did so, performed the install, and then added them back. Performance is about the same as before. My number crunching routines are running 2-3% faster, but that's due to the newer kernel I suspect. The only problem I had was with VMware Workstation 5.5, which would not re-install with the new kernel. I kept getting a compile error. I upgraded to version 6 (asked for a 30 day eval license) and that installed fine. Then, when I launched a windows virtual machine, I found that bridged networking didn't work but NAT did. A simple change, and perhaps there's a simpler fix. My only complaint: green isn't my favorite color. (Fortunately, that was easily fixed!) Again, my thanks and a "well done" to the openSuSE team!

[opensuse] Kicker is Gone
by Kai Ponte 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

I was playing with 10.3 in my VMWare application. When I was done, I noticed that I somehow cannot see the kicker (the menu thingy at the bottom of the KDE screen). I first killed K and restarted. I then rebooted. If I type ALT+F2 and type kicker, I get nothing. What's up? I've googled and cannot find anything solid. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Anyone have problems with soundserver crashing in 10.3
by Adam Jimerson 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

I am running KDE with my new install of 10.3 and when I logged off the computer last night to go to bed I saw that artsd (soundserver) crashed. The crash report disappeared before I could have it give me a backtrace, and a second later KDM came up. After a system restart I have sound working again, but I would like to know if anything like that would be written to a log some where, that way if it happens again I can get the backtrace and details on it.

[opensuse] mount point attributes - what is 't' flag?
by Carl Hartung 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Hi All, I'm still running 10.2 :-) and looking to fill in some 'missing bits' of information. I've inserted two questions in the following excerpt from a *nix file systems tutorial that I found on the 'net: The permission flags are read left to right 1 directory flag, 'd' if a directory, '-' if a normal file, something else occasionally may appear here for special devices. --> What specific documents, man, info, URL, etc., are available which describe these "something else" optional flags in detail? 2,3,4 read, write, execute permissions for User 5,6,7 read, write, execute permissions for Group 8,9,10 read, write, execute permissions for Other Flag - in any position means "not set" r file is readable w file is writeable (with directories, means files can be added or deleted) x program or script is executable (directory contents can be listed) s where 'x' would normally go is called the set-UID or set-groupID flag --> What would a 't' in the tenth position mean? Example: drwxrwxrwt 4 carl users 160 2007-10-06 09:46 hdb-test/ The relevant fstab line is: /dev/hdb3 /mnt/hdb-test reiserfs noauto,user,acl,user_xattr 1 2 Thanks & regards!
