[opensuse] USB Scanner recommendation?
by Lenz Grimmer 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, it's rare that I am soliciting this list for help, but maybe someone could share his experiences with me. I have browsed the hardware compatibility list at http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html to find a suitable USB scanner model. However, it seems as if most of the models listed on there are no longer available (except as used devices on eBay). Does anybody have a recommendation for a flatbed scanner, connected via USB2 that works flawlessly with Linux (openSUSE 10.3 in particular) and is still on sale (especially in Europe/Germany)? Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Thanx a lot Johannes. I used their drivers in previous OpenSUSE versions, because none were then available and did not know of the OpenSUSE RPM's (iscan, iscan-proprietary and iscan-firmware) My next system is a 64 bit, then I will use your RPM's. Great work. I will replace their RPM's with yours. :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Second Try: Redesign of YaST Control Center
by Sean 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Dear All, Good day everyone. I am pretty much happy to see opensuse taking this topic seriously. First of all, i am newbies on the block, i have try to learn linux on my own but fail so many time due to complexity of linux gui :( and most time need modified files instead using GUI interface. Why can't opensuse create GUI interface and configure everything instead 20% in gui mode and 80% edit the files :(. I also can see the documentation is to technical and need newbies step by step setting up CUPS, Firewall, yast2 squid, ftp server, and damm alot of module which i never try. If you don't listen and keep doing it the same way !! many newbies will start give up and move to other OS. Take note: i use ricoh mpc 4500 network printer (pay alot of money for this printer) but again nobody able to setup cups system. Imagine Ricoh malaysia , indonesia is big company but none of them can setup CUPs with all the feature. Do you see my point? I hope you can make newbies learn faster and like linux way of thinking.

[opensuse] Firefox accesibility options
by Rajko M. 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

I guess it started in 2.0.0.8 and during update to 2.0.0.9 it was just taken over. Attempt to scroll with cursor keys up and down jumps from start to end of the page. Keys 'page up' and 'page down' jump to the start page and moves nowhere after that. Attempt to scroll with cursor keys 'up' and 'down' after that jumps from start to end of the page. If you set cursor with mouse somewhere in the middle of the page, cursor keys are working as expected. Preferences > Advanced > General Accessibility: x Always use cursor keys to navigate within pages Search for text when I start typing Uncheck first option and all works as expected. Second option works fine although it is not checked. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] subdomain setup with apache

27 Nov '07

i have server with first domain name first.com. I can access this domain using http://www.first.com (full path name) and http://first.com (without www) without problem. Next I setup a virtual domain called second.com. But i can only access second.com with full path name (http://www.second.com), and not http://second.com. How to setup the virtual second.com so it can be accessed with http://second.com? ServerName www.second.com, this is the setting now on the virtual conf file. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] After a new install ?
by Erik Jakobsen 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

I have reinstalled opensuse 10.3. >From an other thread I have read this: "Yep, I never update using the suseupdater applet. I simply notice the red color, then fire up the full fledged qt style YOU. This one at least tells you there is a conflict. That way I wasn't catched this time. " I can see, that the red color means there's conflict. Dependency mostly I guess. I know that color blue means that an update exists. And the colors are shown here: Software=>Software Management=>Package Groups=>zzzAll Are there other colors, and if so what are their meanings ? I ask this because I have been trapped by the suseupdater applet! /Erik -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

So I did the latest round of updates on 2 machines, and now when X starts up, I get a gray screen with what looks like a cream-colored terminal in the lower left hand corner, and then the gnome login screen appears... what's happening and how do I fix it?

[opensuse] Strange Firefox Problem
by Jim Sabatke 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Starting today, I've been getting popups in Firefox that say" # begin quote Authentication Required Enter username and password for "CCCP Operations" at http://graphics.pop6.com User Name: [ entry box ] Password: [ entry box ] []Use Password Manager to remember this password. [Cancel] [OK] # end quote Sometimes I have to hit [Cancel] a dozen or more times until it stops popping up. It doesn't seem to be happening in Opera or Konqueror. I googled for it,but haven't found anything. Is it possible I have a corrupted file or even some sort of virus?
