Re: [opensuse] NetworkManager ??
by rich3800＠netzero.net 10 Feb '07

10 Feb '07

I understand there are 2 ways of running the network: "ifup" and "KnetworkManager". Ifup is run at bootup automatically and KnetworkManager is under user control. Try installing KnetworkManager in Yast and go to Network device configuration in Yast again. There should be a menu to switch from ifup to Network Manager.

Hello all, I am having a bit of trouble getting sonypi working on my sony vaio SZ3XWP/C. OpenSuSe loaded fine and I was able to without any problems. However, I am having problems getting sonypi loaded. >From the documentation on the web, sonypi driver module is supposed to included with all kernels after 2.4.7. However when I type /sbin/modprobe sonypi, I get a fatal error message. There is no entry for sonypi in /dev/. Would anyone be able to tell me how to load the sonypi driver module in OpenSuse 10.2 please? cheers JT -- --------------------------------------------------- Janendra Telisinghe Southwell Laboratory Department of Engineering Science Oxford University Parks Road Oxford OX1 3PJ Telephone :- 01865 288732 e-mail :- janendra.telisinghe(a)eng.ox.ac.uk ----------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Processor Recommendations?
by John Pierce 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

Hello list members! I have googled, read xen wiki, looked at amd and intel web sites and still cannot come up with a definitive answer. I am, within the next week, going to purchase two laptops and I want to be able to run xen source with full virtualization on at least one of them (my wife still needs win xp). Here is what I came up with so far, correct me if I am wrong, any of the Turion X2's will support hardware vitualization and any of the core 2 duo's (except 2 specific like T5200 and T5400) will support hardware virtualization. I have, tried to be anyway, been a supporter of amd where possible since way back in the lawsuit days. What can I say, I like the underdog. I would prefer the Turions but am will to settle for the core 2s. Thoughts and Suggestions very welcome. -- John Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Formatting a USB memory stick
by Joseph Loo 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

I have a memory stick that works under 10.0 and 10.1. In 10.2 the stick is not recognizable because the partion table is not recognized. I was thinking of repartition the stick and reformat it. Is it possible to do this under 10.2. I tried YAST but the driver does not show up at all. -- Joseph Loo jloo(a)acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Video
by charles buchanan 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

I had thought that once I installed the video drivers from ATI, the perfeormance would increase. Well, to a small extent, maybe. I can not change resolutions because it says it can't because I'm using "framebuffer"! So I was checking out a site on the web (http://calypso.tux.org/pipermail/novalug/2007-January/002331.html) and one guy is telling the other to edit the xorg.conf file. So I took a peek at the file and it says in the file not to edit the file. Of course I did not edit the file. I'm certain once I get the correct driver(s) and/or configuration right, I will then have smooth scrolling because I believe I have no acceleration whatsoever right now. Is there a fix for this? The card is a ATI Radeon x1300 series. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Is opensuse@opensuse.org == suse-linux-e@suse.com ??
by Martin Mielke 09 Feb '07

Hi Per-Olov, not so long ago the email address for the list changed to the new opensuse(a)opensuse.org. As for the filter... why don't you use the tag "[opensuse]"? HTH, Martin ----- Original Message ---- From: Per-Olov Sjöholm <pos(a)incedo.org> To: opensuse(a)opensuse.org Sent: Friday, February 9, 2007 12:10:24 PM Subject: [opensuse] Is opensuse(a)opensuse.org == suse-linux-e(a)suse.com ?? Hi Just subscribed to opensuse(a)opensuse.org... I created a sieve filter to sort TO or CC mails with this address to a special folder in my mailbox. 95% of my Suse listmails mail goes to this folder. However... the other 5% goes directly to my inbox. These 5% are sent TO or CC suse-linux-e(a)suse.com. I can see that most of these suse-linux-e(a)suse.com mails are sent from @suse.de people... Is this suse-linux-e(a)suse.com an alias to opensuse(a)opensuse.org or what? Of course I can add another sieve sorting filter. But I want to now if there are even more aliases....
