[opensuse] 10.2 missing "prettyref.sty" required by LyX
by Darren Freeman 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hi all, Using a fresh install of OpenSUSE 10.2 from DVD. Run LyX and create a document which includes figure cross-references. The document won't compile on my system because it is missing "prettyref.sty" which is required for the figrue cross-references. Have fun, Darren -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ADSL and using a dial-up backup line
by Per Jessen 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Anyone care to tell me/us about your favourite solution? In particular one that does not involve a router with automatic, built-in dial-up. Years back I used to use diald, the dial-on-demand daemon, and I was thinking of using it for this too - but it seems to have more or less slipped into the very mature state (read unmaintained). /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Foxnews Channel videos
by Bruce Marshall 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Could someone verify whether they are able to view some of the videos on www.foxnews.com I used to be able to view them using 10.1 but at some point in time I think they made a change and the videos no longer work. The videos are called out by javascript and I think they are doing something non-standard (which naturally obviously only IE understands) I have tried several distros, Firefox, Opera, Konqy etc... and nothing works. Sound comes through but no video. I am running Flash 9 but 7 doesn't work either. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] broken HD, data recovery possible?
by Daniel Bauer 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hi everybody, The HD (with Suse 10.0, ReiserFS) of my moms old laptop is broken and I thought, maybe there's a possibility to revover her e-mails and some OOo textfiles, but google wouldn't help me (I probably search wrong - find only commercial ads...). Trying to mount /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda2 with the rescue system fails (it says: partition doesn't exist) The openSuse install CD says, "parted cannot format the disk". reiserfsck says the SuperBlock cannot be read - and I cannot rebuild the Superblock with reiserfsck because I don't know what answers I should type to the questions it asks.... The only thing I know is that it's a 20 G disk with a swap, a root and a home partition (with reiserfs). But I don't even know the sizes of the partitions or the version of reiserfs... Is there a Linux tool to make a bootable CD, that will then search the disk and give possibility to save found files to a floppy? any hints? thanks Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Switzerland professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com Madagascar special: http://www.sanic.ch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Mailman on 10.2
by Teemu Nikkilä 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hi, has anyone set up Mailman on OpenSuSE? I'd need a very simple configuration for one or two mailing lists on my mail and web server. I installed Mailman from official RPM and followed the README.SuSE but can't figure out how to set up the web interface.

[opensuse] Spelling Knot Werking in KMail
by Kai Ponte 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

I just knowticed somefing in Kmail. I used to have spell checking enabled by default. I have the ispell dictionary enabled and don't recall changing anything. According to KMail Help... KMail will automatically check the spelling of your message (in HTML mode this currently does not work) and display unknown words using red color. If there are too many unknown words KMail will disable its checking. To select the language used for checking, select View->Dictionary. You can disable automatic spellchecking in the Options menu. To check the spelling of your message using a dialog, select Tools->Spelling.... KMail uses KSpell to check spelling, which is the KDE frontend to the ispell or aspell spelling checker. Note that you may first need to configure the spellchecker using Settings->Spellchecker.... I can do the manual spell checking but it used to to auto spell checking. Any ideas? I'm rully stummpte on tis one. -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com closing the doors that surround me so no one will ever penetrate complete my retreat just to wait for the day that never comes so i will laugh alone -- kai Free Compean and Ramos http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/46 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
