Does anybody know of a way to scan several thousands pictures on disk with an OCR application to look for a specific text, and then list the images where that text was found? -- Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I booted to my Suse 9.1 drive today to do some work and had the bright idea to try Firefox on those site that wouldn't work with FF/Suse 10.2. Lo and behold, they worked perfectly. So, here it is, folks: the scorecard is Suse 9.1 - yes, Fedora Core 6 - yes, Suse 10.2 - no. I guess I will have to wait on Suse to get it together while I run some other distro that works.

by kanenas 19 Mar '07

What's the easiest way to install an earlier suse version on a spare partition and still keep the latest grub that comes with 10.2 (along with an intact 10.2 partition)? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problems with sound.
by Josef Wolf 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

Hello! I have installed 10.2 on an acer travelmate 2492. After a fresh install, sound works. But after a while, it stops working. Sometimes it helps to fiddle around with alsamixergui. But sometimes nothing helps, not even reboot. When I reinstall, then it starts working again. Any ideas what goes wrong here? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[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.

Unresolved dependencies: Updating k3b-0.12.17-49.1.i586[System packages] to k3b-1.0rc7-7.1.i586 [20061118-223400] There are no installable providers of libdvdread.so.3 for k3b-1.0rc7-7.1.i586 [20061118-223400] Is anyone else getting the same messages via the updater in Suse 10.1? Does anyone know of a good repository where they make sure all the dependencies are sorted out before making applications available for update? regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
