[opensuse] Penelope
by Pueblo Native 16 May '07

16 May '07

I've been following the thread about interfacing with a mail program (specifically Eudora). So I went over to Eudora and looked up Penelope. http://wiki.mozilla.org/Penelope I'm rather dense, so I can't exactly understand what in the world are they planning to do. They say they don't want to compete with Thunderbird; they just want to "compliment" it. What exactly does that mean? Is Thunderbird going to end up looking more like Eudora? I'd personally prefer that they would straight out compete (survival of the fittest and all), but whatever they plan on doing it's confusing me. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] squeak
by Dave Howorth 16 May '07

Does anybody know if squeak - the smalltalk dialect - is available for Suse. I'm specifically interested in Suse 9.3 but news on other versions is also useful. Thanks, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 32-bit vs 64-bit
by Jerry Houston 15 May '07

15 May '07

I've been reading with interest the recent threads about 64-bit installations. I'm in the process of building a new computer, strictly to play with Linux on something other than a clapped-out old beater. (All the parts will arrive tomorrow from NewEgg.com, so today seems a little like Christmas eve to me.) It's not needed for work, or any other purpose other than having fun and learning more about Linux. (I work all day writing commercial Windows business software.) I'll be using an Athlon dual-core 64-bit chip, 2 GB of dual-channel RAM, and at least until the recent conversations, I had been planning on installing the current "stable" 64-bit OpenSuSE distro. Given the circumstances I've described, would that (a) be a worthwhile learning experience, (b) appear no different than a 32-bit installation, (c) be nothing but trouble, or (d) something else? If (a), I'm looking forward to using my first ever 64-bit computer. Otherwise, I'll just install the 32-bit distro, and continue my Linux education on that. Thanks in advance for your comments.

15 May '07

Hi. I have a blown Nvidia FX5200 card on my openSuSE 10.2 install. The computer is set up to use Nvidia per the info found in opensuse. I put in another graohics card marked: MVGA-NVTNT2MAL 16MB Even if I think, that the letters can indicate that it's also an Nividia card, the 10.2 cannot start up the x-server. Can anybody tell me what I can do now ?. TIA /Erik -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 10.0 freezes after the latest xorg updates
by Sunny 15 May '07

15 May '07

Hi, After the latest xorg updates my 10.0 x86_64 machine started to freeze after an hour or so work. I have tested the memory and other components, and everything looks OK. If I leave the machine in runlevel 3, it does not freeze. Where I can find the older rpms so I can downgrade to the prev. version of xorg? Btw, am I the only one with that problem? -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
