[opensuse] opensuse updater
by Robert Lewis 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

With the opensuse updater (blue orb that turns orange when something is ready to receive) there are two updates being offered that I don't want as they insist on ekiga being removed. These are CVS updates for opal and pwlib. I unclicked them to keep from having them loaded. However, the orb remains orange. I have checked with both the maintainer of ekiga and packman and am told not to use these CVS versions as they are not compatible with ekiga. There not coming from packman either or guru. I think they are coming from one of the repositories at SUSE that I have added but am not 100% sure. Opal Open Phone Abstraction Library Catalog: 20070206-121527 Type: Package pwlib Portable Windows Library from Equivalence Pty. Ltd. Catalog: 20070206-121527 Type: Package 1) How can one tell which repository is offering what package? 2) How can I turn off a package so that the orb turns normal but that if a newer one shows up that I am alerted?

[opensuse] Lightscribe.
by Fred A. Miller 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

Does anyone know of any other software than the simply label maker for Linux that is available from Lightscribe? It is marginal....that is, it works fine, but the features are less than "modest." I've check all commercial listings I can find, and of course, they're all brain dead and only support MickySoft with a few MAC offerings. Thanks!

[opensuse] Kmail memory
by Doug McGarrett 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

Kmail has "memorized" some addresses that I typed in in error, and even manufactured a couple, AFAICT. Is there a list of these somewhere that I can edit, and if so, where? (I don't have an address book, altho I should, and some day I'll figure out how to make one.) --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Lívio Cipriano 20 Mar '07

20 Mar '07

I've a HP LaserJet 5MP since 1995. A perfect bw simplex machine. But the times demand colour prints in both faces of the pages. Can anyone give me recommendations for colour laser printers? Of course they have to be Postscript ones. -- Regards, Lívio Cipriano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by peter nikolic 20 Mar '07

20 Mar '07

Hi folks . I have a strange one here . This box is running openSUSE 10.3 alpha2plus from the downloaded DVD iso then automatically updated . The NVidia driver has failed to behave (not too bothered about that right now) the ral strange one i cant solve is I can browse the web using Konkeuer but if i try to use Seamonkey Mozilla or firefox i am unable to browse unless i enter the IP address of the site i want to visit ie 216.239.59.104 for google.co.uk . I have been thru the entire configs and can not find ant problems the DNS settings are correct (a laptop connected to the same network works fine with the same settings) all machines on this network use DHCP for there IP's i use 2 external Nameservers and the backup of the namesrver on my router internal IP's are of the 192.168.1.* range , resolve.conf is correct i am at a total loss right now Oh and email works as well obviously as i am using it to send this mail .. Cheers Pete . (It looks like it is going to be cold here tonight 2 gritting wagons in the time iy has taken to type this ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Beagle project in build service
by Joe Shaw 20 Mar '07

20 Mar '07

Hi, I wanted to let everyone know that we recently added a Beagle project to the openSUSE Build Service. It contains the latest versions of Beagle and related programs like the Kerry Beagle KDE client, and KBeagleBar. It's kept up-to-date with the latest upstream releases. Packages and repodata can be found here: http://software.opensuse.org/download/Beagle/ and if you have an account in the build service, you can visit the project page here: http://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Beagle If anyone is interested in contributing more packages to the project, just let me know and I'll be happy to add you. The current version of Beagle is 0.2.16.3, and it's the version we'll be shipping in SLED 10 Service Pack 1. While there are some new features included, our real focus has been on reliability and performance. If you've had trouble with Beagle in the past, I encourage you to try this new release and give feedback. And as always, if you encounter problems, please file a bug at bugzilla.novell.com.
