[opensuse] OpenOffice "crashes" on exit from slideshow
by Simon Roberts 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

Hi all, I have SuSE 10.2 installed, and have just noticed that if I present a slideshow in OpenOffice (the version bundled with 10.2) the thing "crashes" when you exit a slideshow. It's curious, it doesn't seem to die per se, nor do any damage, but it insists that it crashed and must recover the file. Maybe it really did crash, but the file didn't really need recovery, since no changed had been made. It doesn't (so far at least) seem to damage anything, but it's a bit odd, and slightly worrying. Does anyone else see this, or am I just "special" :) Cheers, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.

But since you brought it up, I use kubuntu, mepis, mandriva, and fedora because my repeated efforts to use suse 10.1 and 10.2 were unsatisfactory. The primary problem for me is package management. I used suse from 6.0-9.2. During those years I was BUYING the PROFESSIONAL retail boxed version, GLADLY paying $75.00 for a quality product. How horrible of me for still being interested in suse and hoping someday I can use it again.

[opensuse] Need explanation - question 1
by usr 10 Mar '07

10 Mar '07

Hello SuSE people Recently installed 10.2 on a new hard drive. Triple boot all on their own harddrives. I gave 10.2 a 3GB partition for / I also made separate partitions for /tmp, /var, and /home, each 10GB in size. I went to update 10.2 and was warned that the / partition is 97% full. How can that be? Does everthing on the DVD install into / ?? Now, do I have to reinstall 10.2 after making the / partition much larger ?? Some please explain what the problem is here. Please ??

[opensuse] Installing jre-6-linux-i586-rpm.bin
by A. den Oudsten 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

Hy, I'm using openSUSE 10.2 I downloaded jre-6-linux-i586-rpm.bin and followed the instructions to install. So I changed to su ,without that it did not work, gave chmod a+x jre-6-linux-i586-rpm.bin followed by ./ jre-6-linux-i586-rpm.bin , which did not work. So I tried sh jre-6-linux-i586-rpm.bin That gave the reaction line 305 ./install.sfx.17957: access refused What should be the right approach?

by Malcolm Purdy 07 Mar '07

To those of you who answered/read my post of earlier today about problems with my Internet/wireless connection and keyboardwell the problem has been solved. I changed distributionsto PCLinuxOS. Thanks for your suggestions. A posting from another forum gave me the answer I needed. My printer problem has not been solved yet, but the wireless connection and keyboard have given me no problem whatsoever. Sorry openSUSE.

[opensuse] Beryl and xgl
by Hans van der Merwe 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

I have done a bit of googling but still cant find anyone else with this problem. I have beryl, xgl, working, but slowly, on Intel 945GM (followed instructions on suse and beryl forums) Before I run "gnome-xgl-switch", glxinfo indicates direct rendering: Yes, X nice and fast After "gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl" and X restart I get direct rendering: No, and X is really slow, unusable (before even starting beryl) Beryl performance is ok, not great, but I guess that's because of rending being off. Any ideas ps xorg.conf has got all the settings prescribed by beryl install instructions E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
