[opensuse] Live opensuse 10.3 on a USB key.
by Jimmy PIERRE 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Greetings, I have seen the wiki page on how to put a opensuse 10.3 dritribution an a keyring. Sounds a long process, having to pre install opensuse on a HDD. Ideally, putting a live cd/dvd on a usb key should do the trick. Anyone been successful?

[opensuse] Problem with software management after zypper update.
by d_garbage 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Hello, I just installed an update via the tray applet and now the both the updater and software management seem to be broken? Trying applet gave: Can't launch zypp-checkpatches-wrapper helper program. Make sure zypper package is installed and working. Trying software management in YAST gave: Error loading language plugin /usr/lib/YaST2/plugin/libpy2lang_perl.so: libzypp.so.324: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory No such client module sw_single Run 'yast2 -h' for help on usage Trying to launch zypper in termial i find that there is no zypper on system, just something called "zypper_install". I tried log on/off and then reboot. Same result. Is this happening to anyone else or has something just gone wrong with the update on my particular system?

[opensuse] 10.3 WARNING: Yesterdays update killed online update and Software Management
by Eberhard Roloff 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Hi, just a warning. Since I made an online update yesterday, I can no longer run yast online update, and also can not start yast software management anymore. The helper applet in my kde tray displays: Error: Can't launch zypp-checkpatches-wrapper helper program..... In the meantime I fixed this problem by doing this in the i586 directory on the suse dvd: rpm -Uvh --force boost-1*.rpm libzypp-3*.rpm zypper*.rpm I got that from a suse forum on the web, where the same happened with suse 10.3/64 for several people. Accroding to the forum the boost update made yast software things unuseable. Good luck and take care.

[opensuse] Java from scratch
by Hans van der Merwe 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

I want to follow the procedure from here (http://en.opensuse.org/Java) to get my Java sorted out once and for all. Only thing is - how do I rid my machine from anything java? I can see a whole range of old/new installations of java in /usr/lib/jvm - some stuff in /etc/alternative/java, and so forth. Where do I delete what to start over?

[opensuse] Apache server configuration
by Cristea Bogdan 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

I have to questions related to Apache2 server configuration in openSuSE 10.2: 1. From yast+network services+HTTP server: After specifying a new directory to search in with "alias" option, how to specify directory options? I was able to do this by modifying manually "default-server.conf", but I wonder if it is possible to do this from graphical interface. 2. Is there a way to specify an alias to a file (e.g. svn-book.html) instead to a directory? -- Bogdan Cristea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] xyzzy
by Bryen 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

If you're a fan of Adventure-Colossal Caves, you know what I mean by "xyzzy". :-) In the few short weeks before I upgraded from 9.3 to 10.3, I discovered that Adventure was installed with 9.3. Since this was the very first game I played back in 1981, you can imagine the joy I had of re-discovering an old lost treasure. Sadly, it appears that 10.3 doesn't include this game. Anyone know how I can get it back so I can waste countless hours again reliving my childhood? -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] iPhone + openSUSE?
by kevindupuy＠bellsouth.net 19 Nov '07

I checked on the GTKpod (An GTK-based iPod sync app) website, and it says their newest release has preliminary support for the iPhone and iPod touch as far as music syncing goes. The caveat is that the phone must be jailbroken first. www.gtkpod.org I'm sure more compatibility is coming soon, and if GTKpod is getting it to work, Banshee's probably not far behind. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Thomas R.
