[opensuse] Disable ability to switch between menu systems, how-to?
by Verner Kjærsgaard 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

Hi list, I don't want my users to be able to switch away from the traditional SuSE/KDE menu system (i.e., select the new system). How do I do that? I suspect I'll need to put a "[$i]" into some KDE config file to lock it. Which and where ? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi all, I have burnt OpenSuse 10.2 on a DVD to install it on my laptop but it seems that the DVD is not bootable! I have checked everything and all should be OK but it is not booted from DVD to be able to install it on my laptop. Can anybody help? BTW I used ISO image burned using DVDDecrytor.

It's not heresy at all. The ODF Alliance has no real problem with it. The new Microsoft XML format and ODF don't work together yet. With this plan, they will. ODF will still be ODF and MS XML will be MS XML. They are just making sure they translate each other. OpenOffice is it's own project handled by Sun, not Novell. Novell is just a contributor, there is no way Microsoft could stamp everyhing except if they patented the translator which I don't think they'll do (but I wouldn't put it past them) while on the subject, the other two things on the Novell MS pact also inclube interoperability, which is a big deal. Honestly, it's not easy for many businesses to have both Linux and Windows in the office and some don't have the time to use Samba. By that I mean, they need to have their businesses going. They can't take time off to learn Linux. If the two can work well together, then they can still use Windows and linux with less trouble. let face it, once businesses began to adopt linux more, then consumers will. Once that happens, we'll see a lot more support for it. Also more software and drivers available as well as codecs and what not. Finally, virtualization. Again, what's the big deal. So They want to figure out how to get Xen to work on Windows so they can virtualize Linux on Windows and vice versa. That wouldn't be such a bad idea, would it. I like to play some windows games that don't work so well on Wine. You forget that legally, Microsoft can't take over Linux. The GPL prevents them from doing so, the most Microsoft can do is help it work better with Windows because right now, the two don't play nice without a lot of expert configuration. Even without the GPL, do you think the community would ever allow Microsoft to just take over. We have mob rule as an open source community. All MS can do is contribute and anything they develop into Linux, it will be Open. But this isn't about MS, just wanted to throw that out there. > > ... because it will be the one that has *Microsoft* stamped all over it. No, >not really, no.

[opensuse] user logout

Since SuSE 6.2, I have not noticed what I now see with 10.2/gnome. I have seen this from day one of my 10.2 experience. One user logs in with gnome, three other users always login kde or by ssh -X, and I usually login fvwm. Every time the gnome user logs out, several apps remain idle in the machine. All other users clean up when they leave. robin is NOT logged on now, but this is the "top" for user robin... 19227 robin 22 0 3772 912 700 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.06 dbus-daemon 19265 robin 16 0 39748 3168 2388 S 0.0 0.3 0:00.26 bonobo-activati 19270 robin 18 0 9440 3784 3128 S 0.0 0.4 0:00.06 gnome-vfs-daemo 19327 robin 15 0 70952 21m 10m S 0.0 2.1 0:21.38 beagled 20182 robin 18 0 79868 9308 7344 S 0.0 0.9 0:00.30 evolution-data- 20553 robin 16 0 0 0 0 Z 0.0 0.0 0:01.41 mono <defunct> 20558 robin 18 0 0 0 0 Z 0.0 0.0 0:01.39 mono <defunct> and "who"... thpnalb@master:~> who thpnalb :0 2007-02-13 19:58 jerpat pts/0 2007-02-13 19:41 (camserv2.site) thpnalb pts/2 2007-02-13 20:59 thpnalb pts/3 2007-02-13 21:03 thpnalb pts/1 2007-02-13 19:58 thpnalb@master:~> Any ideas on what might be the cause?

I remember Leo Laporte of "the Screensavers" fame, mentioning something about HDTV for free on Linux on that show. By the way, Leo Laporte has a book in libraries. There *might* be mention of it, I don't know. I remember the guys on the Screensavers were favorable and knowledgeable on Linux and open source. I miss that show. It was the best thing on that channel, now called "G4" for games.

[opensuse] OpenOffice 2.0.4, should one upgrade?
by Jay Smith 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Hey, So I have OpenOffice 2.0.4, no big deal. I noticed that when people send me things in *.doc format, it is distorted, in particular, pictures, tables, and frames. Does anyone else have this problem? If you do, how did you solve it? Would it be better to upgrade to 2.1.0, if so, what's the "cleanest" way to install all the rpms? Is there a repository for it? Thanks for your help. Jay -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
