An interesting comment on proprietary software in the referenced mag. Should probably be on the OT list, but I don't get that. --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers ... for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.

[opensuse] User changing image
by James Knott 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

On the Password and User Account screen of the Personal settings, there's an option to change the image. However, whenever I click on it, I get a message "Your administrator has disallowed changing your image". How is a user permitted to change their own image? 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

[opensuse] Trouble with Hal in 10.3
by Adam Jimerson 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

I am running KDE 3.5.8, and KDE is set up to auto mount things such as a flash drive, when I plugged in my flash drive the KDE deamon came up and asked what I wanted to do and listed: Open in a new window View Images with Digikam Do nothing When I told it to open in a new window konqueror came up and then I got this error message "hal-storage-mount-removable no <-- (action, result)". KDE fail to auto mount it like it should, after I mounted it by hand everything worked like it should but it would be nice to have auto mount working again. Is this a common problem with Hal or has any one else at least had this problem before? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 10.3 Boxed Set Question
by ka1ifq 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

I just checked the opensuse website but still did not find the info I was looking for. The site says the boxed set is CD's only, is that true? The last couple of set I purchased included the Dvd and Cd's. I am just confused but want to buy the set. Are there any other places for ordering the box set? I did d/l the DVD and may install today, but still want to buy the set to support the cause.

[opensuse] Suse joining a .local domain
by Adam Fisher 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

I am trying to get SuSE 9.3 to join a ".local" domain. I know there's a "feature" in Suse that creates a local subnet and does all sorts of funky things with the network settings when the machine is a member of a ".local" domain, but I don't want that. How do I turn it off? Google has been of marginal help. Thanks, Adam -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I'm noticing that when i have a CD in the drive on my laptop, and I subsequently open the drive, I now get a KDE Daemon window popping up telling me the KDE Daemon (kded) has crashed and caused the signal 6(SIGABRT). This is with two installs of Suse 10.3 on two different machines.

[opensuse] Metacity starts after KDE when NXing because of compiz....
by Gryffus 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Hi! When i log into my 10.3 box via NX, i get metacity window decorations... On normal, local login, i get compiz with emerald wich is good, but via remote connection (the NX) compiz cannot work so i get metacity decorations. How do i force my box to use kwin instead of compiz or metacity when NXing? I tried crash handler compiz plugin, but it also works only on local login. When i login locally i get fusion-icon in tray so i could use that, but none icon there when remote :-(. What process / script autostarts compiz and why can i disable it when i login via NX?
