[opensuse] Evolution, IMAP and filtering
by Bryen 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

Evolution 2.12.0 Is it safe to assume that Evolution filters do not apply to any imap accounts? None of my filters work, and I can only assume it is because I use imap. Or is this bugged? -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Opensuse 10.3: No 3D support, Nvidia drivers not correctly loaded
by Hans Lombard 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

I have been unable to identify and load the correct Nvidia drivers - hence no 3D support. I have tried several different drivers and have also tried the following 'hint' obtained from sax2 "3D Hardware acceleration is not used. To use 3D Hardware acceleration please specify the entry Driver "nvidia" in the Section "Device" of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf." This change made no difference. Environment: OpenSuse 10.3, X86_64. YAST2 is configured to install/update the drivers from ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.3. I have tried every available driver for the X86_64 environment. With Opensuse 10.2 the Nvidia drivers loaded correctly, however, this has been a new problem ever since I upgraded to 10.3. Any pointers would be appreciated.

[opensuse] Thank you
by Chuck Payne 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

Guys, I like to say thank you. I been at a remote office using the live-cd [kde] for the pass two weeks, and I have to say it been great. I tried to use Vmware Fusion with SuSE, but it was not slow but not great. So they has a desktop no one was using and I ask if I could use it, download the live desk and been doing my work as if I was back on my desktop in the office. So I have to say awsome. -- -- Command, n.: Statement presented by a human and accepted by a computer in such a manner as to make the human feel as if he is in control. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox fonts in KDE
by Jorge Fábregas 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Hello guys, I just installed 10.3 and I'm configuring/tweaking a lot of things so I can have it the way I like it ;) I would like to change Firefox fonts (the UI fonts). I know it's a GTK app and the changes I do in KDE Control-Center won't affect it. So I installed gnome control-center and changed the font settings there (Application font). Then I placed gnome-settings-daemon in my .kde/Autostart directory but it still won't affect the fonts in Firefox. I did the same thing in 10.0 and it worked back then. Is this still the correct way to do it (using KDE)? Thanks! Jorge -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/w/w64codecs/?C=S;O=A Does any of you have any experience with w64codec ? Any benefits? Do they work under opensuse 10.3? Why should I install them? I am using w32codecs and I saw few threads about the w64codec, and I was wondering if anybody in this mail list have any info. -=terry(Denver)=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

No contradiction, just added info. Users login via ssh. The subject line is the topic; that is, limiting users who can us 'su'. Just wanted to be brief in the post. >The other issue here is that internally, you have people giving out >root's password. Root constantly gets compromised when you do that. >When something went wrong because "root" did something, how do you know >which user actually played as "root"? A better solution would be to >create a user or set of users who is a member of the root group. I know all about the problems about who should and should not get the root password, but real world situations in corporations have their own corporate politics. What is supposed to happen and the way things actually occur do not always match best practices. My question and the answers received suggesting putting specific users in the 'wheel' group was what was helpful. If I can't change peoples' behavior, I can at least chmod the permissions for 'su'. >On the other hand, if you hand out root's password to everyone, and say >someone in the company has been fired, [....] Not everyone has the root password and that was not the question. However, I do appreciate your suggestions about using keys for ssh.
