[opensuse] Pre-Installed Linux On Dells Coming!!
by Fred A. Miller 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

When Michael Dell took back the reins of he company he founded, one of the first things he did was to launch the feedback site Dell Idea Storm. Following up on the recent Slashdot discussion of the early results of this experiment — an overwhelming expressed desire for pre-loaded Linux — Dell reports on what it plans to do with this feedback. Quoting: "[W]e are working with Novell to certify our corporate client products for Linux, including our OptiPlex desktops, Latitude notebooks and Dell Precision workstations. [On the question of which distro to choose:] "[T]here is no single customer preference for a distribution of Linux... We want users to have the opportunity to help define the market for Linux on desktop and notebook systems. In addition to working with Novell, we are also working with other distributors and evaluating the possibility of additional certifications across our product line." http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/ideastorm/ideasinaction?c=us… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bitten in arse by DRM crap, I think!
by John Pierce 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hello list members. I recently purchased two HP DV9208NR laptops, turion x2 1 gig ram, 120 gig sata harddrive, nice machines except one small problem. I resized the partitions and installed opensuse 10.2 on both of them. Every thing works great, play dvds, play ppracer, surf the net through the wireless ( I had to use the ndiswrapper ) because of issues with the 1390 mini card that hp uses. Still works though. My problem is the headphone jack, when I plug in the earbuds the sound still comes from the speakers and not the headphones. If I boot into vista the headphones work, but they come up blank in linux. I think that it is probably due to the vista drm crap, you know, the headphone being an unsecured channel. Any thought, I would appreciate them. I have googled for the problem, but have not found anything yet, I will keep looking though. -- 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] Technical Question: good WiFi connection stops working when...
by Dennis J. Tuchler 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

I use SuSE 10.2 and KDE. I hook onto the Internet by way of a wireless router. My WiFi card works when I boot up, but does not continue to work when I take the laptop while it is on and move to another room. When I reboot from that room, the wireless connection is established. I am using KNetworkManager. Is this curable? -- Best regards, Dennis J.

[opensuse] Toshiba A135-S4427 Laptop
by kbboykin＠comcast.net 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hello List, I just ordered this laptop. Of course, it's preloaded w/Vista and other bloatware. Any issues getting OS 10.2 installed? I have use SuSE since version 6.4 and am very familiar with many flavors of Linux, although I consider myself a casual user. I didn't think of 10.2 under after I hit submit on the order form. Hopefully, there will be no issue. Thanks. Hope I haven't wasted any bandwidth. --Keith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] packages in local installation vs internet installation
by Ross Davis 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

One of the drawbacks listed on the opensuse website for installing from CD images is, "Due to size limitations of CD images, you get only a subset of all packaged software for openSUSE." What packaged software is missing from the CD images? Thanks, Ross -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] LDAP served network
by Rikard Johnels 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

I am trying to get my network up on LDAP user authentication. I have several machines (Three servers and 10 workstations), and a handful of roaming users that uses several boxes at different times. I wanted a central user administration instead of having to walk around and locally add all the new users i get. I tried following the steps in the 10.2 "handbook" on how to enable LDAP. It seems to work locally on the intended LDAP server. If i add a user he/she can login on [LDAP] But not on [ws01] or any other box i run against the LDAP server. Can anyone either point me to a step by step setup, or tell me how to set the simplest network up: One LDAP server and one LDAP client. That way i might be able to set the rest up myself... Server_1 is file a group file server with several shares with common files for all the systems. Server_2 is a /home server for the respective users. Those shares should be added on a per user basis. Server_3 is the web/ftp server, where my local users have their homepages. But i also have a few external clients have their ftp/web there. So i need to limit those logins to the respective ftp/web "cages"... Is this doable with LDAP? Or shall i go for something else? -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : rikard.j(a)rikjoh.com web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >
