A system variable apparently didn't "work" yesterday.....didn't get an error. It works FANTASTIC now! What I find of interest, is that one of the Iscan developers told me that the 4490 won't scan higher than 2400 with the Iscan driver. Yeah right.......sure does, and even though I haven't had the oportunity to check a lot of old negs yet, it certainly does work! Thanks for the heads up, Terry!!

[opensuse] wanting to try kde4
by Joe Sloan 25 Nov '07

25 Nov '07

After hearing some good reports about kde4, I'd decided to give it a try here on my 10.3 system. I added the kde4 repo and installed a good selection of kde4 software. I logged out of my kde3 session only to find that there is no option on gdm to start a kde4 session. So, how does a mere mortal try out kde4?

[opensuse] hotkey-setup freezes OpenSuse 10.3 on boot
by Myrosia Dzikovska 24 Nov '07

24 Nov '07

I am running OpenSuSE 10.3 with latest updates on Sony Vaio PCG-V505DP. If hotkey-setup is enabled during the boot sequence, then the moment it starts, my caps-lock and scroll-lock keys begin flashing, and the system freezes up, refusing to respond to mouse and keyboard - I have to do a hard reboot. But if I run /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup start from the command line after the system is fully booted, everything works just fine. I see no relevant messages in log files, but this may be just because the system dies before the log can be written. I found a workaround for this: if RUN_PARALLEL is set to "no" in /etc/sysconfig/boot, everything works just fine. But the system takes longer to start up. I am guessing that there is some race condition/deadlock going on, in which case it would presumably be fixable by setting an appropriate dependency in either .depend.boot or .depend.start. But I'd rather not go through all services one by one - it would take rather long, not to mention that I'd rather not risk damaging my filesystem with those hard reboots. Can anyone make an intelligent guess as to what can be causing this, or suggest a nice way to figure this one out.

[opensuse] KSSH on OpenSuSE 10.3.
by Jerry Feldman 24 Nov '07

24 Nov '07

I know that kssh has not been shipped with 10.2 or 10.3, but my original session home configuration had 2 windows opened up as kssh windows. Since I installed OpenSuSE 10.3 (as a clean install), I still have 1 window that opens up automatically on one of the hosts. So, it does appear that there is some remnant of kssh left. In any case, is there a replacement for kssh. I know that there is a Linux version of Putty, but I like the way kssh used to work. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

[opensuse] X without any manager?
by Klaus Vink Slott 24 Nov '07

24 Nov '07

Hi I playing around with this game Eve (a windows thing packaged with cedega) which takes over the whole screen when started. I cant find any way to minimize the game when running - there seems to be no access my KDE desktop whithout exiting the game. I can do a second login using KDE "Change user" and start the game from here and then I am able switch between the game and my first desktop with ctrl+alt+F7 ctrl+alt+F8 . So I am searching for a easy way to start a single program (the game) on a secondary screen whitout the overhead of running another display manager. If I run # X :1& export DISPLAY=:1; xterm & as root - I can get new X with a single terminal. I can start programs from here and might even be able to launch the game this way to. But this only as root - if I change user I cant start any X applications. Launching 1.5G bytes of gamecode as root does not feel right - so is there an easy way to change user before or after starting X - and still be able to launch the game? Or am I going in the wrong direction. Any suggestions? -- Regards Klaus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
