One question: can you only log in as a user with a windows account? Or do local linux accounts still work as well? I have always wondered about this. The install choice implies an either/or thing. I am especially curious about the linux root account. We can login as a windows user and a linux user (like root). All accounts work but the windows domain account, after the samba update, takes many attempts to login. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Evolution vs. Thunderbird
by Martin Mielke 24 May '07

24 May '07

Hi, I wasn't aiming to praise or flame either email client. I just wanted to know some opinions from you out there as Evolution is something "new" to me, from the user's perspective. The biggest hassle I've found so far is: how to import Thunderbird emails (and I mean: the whole email structure, including folders and subfolders), filtering rules etc. My first approach, you may laugh if you want, was to manually open each MH file under $HOME/.thunderbird/some-default-profile/Mail/Local Folders/filename and import it under Evolution as I don't see any "Export to..." tool in Thunderbird and Evolution won't import so easily ... also creating the proper destination folders structure when needed.... hmmm, maybe there's a fancy tool for that?? :-/ Well... I'll just keep an eye open on both mailers (don't bother to mention Sylpheed ;-) ) for a couple of days as I need to convince myself... although "abandoning" Thunderbird would be rather painful due to the years I've been using it... jeez... :-))) Thanks and regards, Martin ----- Original Message ---- From: Michael Folsom <mwfolsom(a)gmail.com> To: OpenSuSE <opensuse(a)opensuse.org> Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2007 3:09:48 PM Subject: Re: [opensuse] Evolution vs. Thunderbird Folks: Hate to break the chain of praise for Evolution but frankly I left it and went back to Thunderbird because it is so incredibly slow. It take a long time to open up when tied to a Exchange server but who knows who is to blame for that but it also is sluggish when connected to a pop server - Thunderbird is fast.

[opensuse] Windows domain login
by Chris Arnold 24 May '07

Using SLED10 and when i first installed the OS, you are asked how you want to login (local, edir and windows domain), i chose windows domain and was able to login without any problems. Then there was an update through zmd for samba, samba-client and samba-winbind. I applied these updates and now when logging into the domain, users must ALWAYS keep trying until it finally lets them in. In other words, we get "username and password incorrect" and we keep trying and finally it will let use in. How to troubleshoot this problem?

[opensuse] Firefox 2.0/i586 on a x86_64 system fails
by Frank Steiner 24 May '07

24 May '07

Hi, I'm trying to install Firefox 2.0.0.3-13.1.i586.rpm from /opensuse/repositories/mozilla/SUSE_Linux_10.1/i586/ on our SuSE 10.1 x86_64 hosts so that I can use the 32bit-only plugins from Adobe or Macromedia. This worked with SuSE 10.1 and Firefox 1.5/i586, but Firefox 2.0 fails with naur /root/tmp# rpm -Uhv MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.3-13.1.i586.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libnss3.so(NSS_3.11.1) is needed by MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.3-13.1.i586 I guess I'm missing an upgraded mozilla-nss-32bit.rpm, but there is no such in repositories/mozilla/SUSE_Linux_10.1/x86_64/. Could that be added to the repositories, so that one can continue to run the i586 version of firefox on a x86_64 system? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.

[opensuse] .fonts.conf, line 26 is not known boolean
by Eberhard Roloff 24 May '07

24 May '07

Hi, most probably not a serious problem, however I am unclear what this means. I am using OpenSUSE 10.2 32bit on various computers. Now, on any computer whenever I open an application (any application) from a terminal (ex. xterm, eterm, konsole, you name it), I get this message: Fontconfig warning: "~/.fonts.conf", line 26: "" is not known boolean The referenced XML statement in that file is like this: <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="autohint" > <bool>true<bool/> #<<< this is line 26 </bool> </edit> Just to calrify: This happens anytime, on any computer, with any application under any desktop I am using (xfce, blackbox,icewm,kde) I searched the archive and did various googles, anything to no avail. Any help how to correct this message is appreciated. Thanks and kind regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenSUSE 10.2 install from USB stick
by Roger Oberholtzer 24 May '07

24 May '07

I want to install OpenSUSE 10.2 only from a USB stick. I see info in the OpenSUSE site about doing an install from a USB stick, getting all the packages over the network. I want to get all from the USB stick. Is there any reason I could not 'simply': Copy the OpenSUSE install DVD to a USB stick. Run syslinux to make the stick bootable Boot/install from the stick. I would imagine an autoyast.xml file could be placed in the root of the USB stick as well. Any known problems with this approach?

[opensuse] USB drives on /dev/sda1
by Jay C Vollmer 24 May '07

24 May '07

Hi Everybody. I've just discovered that I'm unable to mount USB pendrives on my laptop. Upon examination, I also find that I have no /dev/sda1. I assume that this is the reason why. If so, can I just recreate it with mknod? Can anyone tell me what the parameters are for creating /dev/sda1 with mknod? -- JAY VOLLMER JVOLLMER(a)VISI.COM TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK - IGNORE FULLWISE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Combining xinerama and split screens in Xorg.
by Rikard Johnels 24 May '07

24 May '07

Hello all! I want to create a slightly special setup on my triple headed machine. I have three monitors A, B and C. Today i run them all in xinerama mode. [A][B][C] But i have found that in my special setup and use of the machine, a combination of two monitors in xinerama and one with a ordinary session on it would suit my needs better. (eg. [A][B] [C] where A and B runs xinerama on session 0:0 and C is running 0:1) Is this possible to set up? -- /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 >
