Thanks for the help. Save the following as autorun.bat: @start index.html @exit (assuming the webpage you want is at the root (top) level of your CD/DVD, otherwise give the full path to index.html) Save the following as autorun.inf: [autorun] open=autorun.bat icon=cdrom.ico Place autorun.bat and autorun.inf in the root (top) level of your CD/DVD. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - KDE yn Gymraeg www.klebran.org.uk - Gwirydd gramadeg rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.rhedadur.org.uk - Rhedeg berfau Cymraeg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Greetings, I found out that USB keys are available for 8 GB, so I am most eager to achieve to run a opensuse as a live distribution from a USB key rather than a DVD. Any one has sucessfully manged that?

[opensuse] How to use USBView on SUSE 10.2
by Horky Chen 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

Dear all, I installed the usbview 1.0, but when run it, it will pop up an error message: " Can not open the file /proc/bus/usb/devices ...... " I have googled for it, there is no any solution about Kernel 2.6. Someone said that I should replace /proc/bus/usb/devices with /sys/bus/usb/devices. I configured the usbview, but usbview will hang up. Any ideal about it? Thanks in advanced! -- Horky.Chen _____________________ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Problem with NFS mounts
by Tim Donnelly 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

I tried Philippe's soulution and got no joy. To test the theory that it was a name resolution problem, I inserted a third mount into the fstab file. I placed this before /proddb and /prodobj. The first filesystem failed to mount, but the second and third worked as one would expect. I also changed the fstab entry for the first filesystem to point to the IP address instead of the hostname. No luck. In looking at the nfs start up script in /etc/init.d I noticed a comment about it sometimes being helpful to mount NFS devices in the backgroup with an & and a sleep time. I modified the startup script as mentioned, but still the first mount is "ignored" while subsequent mounts work fine. Google is not helping, does anyone else have any ideas?

If I run mount -a from the command line it mounts like it > should. I've seen the exact same behaviour on a SLES9 server here that mounts NFS filesystems exported by an HP-UX server. In our case at least, the problem seemed to be caused by a name resolution issue: either the NFS mount request doesn't wait long enough for an answer, or the resolver isn't fully operational yet when the first mount request kicks in. By the time the second mount request is reached, name resolution works fine (likewise for all subsequent requests). I fixed it by adding the server name and IP address in the /etc/hosts file on the NFS client. In you case: w.x.y.z janus janus.coalliance.org I know it's not ideal, but it worked for us. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to hear Amarok playing
by A. den Oudsten 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

I'm using 10.2 and want to listen to music. Playing Amarok I see the music played but don't hear anything In YaST2 I see KT266 onboard audio is the default. The volume for CD is 67 and for PCspeakers 53. What else should I do to hear music?

[opensuse] User permission problems - plz help!
by Alexey Eremenko 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

hi Susers ! I installed a openSUSE 10.2 some while ago. I have had some problems, so I created a new user, and deleted the original one. The problems I have now, due to this move: In KDE, when I do Start->Leave I can only end session, not shutdown, not restart In K3B, I cannot write anything, is it does NOT recognizes my new DVD-RW. Under "root" account everything works ! Other priviledge problem, that I would like to solve: Why simple utilities, such as ifconfig and traceroute require root priviledges ? Or more correctly, they *do* run under normal user, but are not included on the normal user path by default. Why is that? -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] AppArmor - SuSE 10.0
by Peter Bradley 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Honestly, whoever wrote this AppArmor thing must have been on drugs. After fighting with it over what Apache could do, I now find it won't let Acroread open PDF files! What's that all about? I tried adding read permissions for *.pdf into the profile, but it still won't have it. Can anyone explain how you get this thing to work? Is it best just to switch it off?

[opensuse] suse start menu
by Istvan Gabor 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Hello all: I have openSUSE 10.2 with KDE 3.5.6 (kdebase3-3.5.6-52.1). I use the start menu in conventional kde mode. Sometimes after installing new programs the application's icon is not inserted to the start menu, or is inserted to one user's start menu but not to another's. How could I refresh/reconfigure the start menu to make it show the new icons?
