[opensuse] RE Processors
by Registration Account 14 May '07

14 May '07

Given the choice when getting a new PC would you choose Intel Core 2 duo or AMD Athlon 64bit x 2 CPU With 1000 and 1 benchmarks and both are similar cost to me - can you help. Please don't go anywhere outside the CPU - I can do all the limiting factors of different I/O subsystems. On the other hand please don't offer example of number of instruction that can be processed in ring 0 of the CPU (for example). Thanks again everyone Scott

[opensuse] Recording webradio
by Cristea Bogdan 14 May '07

14 May '07

What suggestions could you give for an application who can record radio while listen over Internet? Ideally I need something very simple who can be started and stopped quickly and able to record directly in mp3 format. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] keyboard keymaps
by Stuart Murray-Smith 14 May '07

Hi list Hmmm... please help! :-) KDE starts up, but keyboard settings don't seem to initialise ie doesn't record keystrokes in login fields etc. Can use keyboard in console mode though. Tried setting keyboard settings in YaST, but doesn't affect the keyboard settings in any desktop managers (as expected). Unfortunately I can't use SaX2, and a point-and-click as root doesn't open 'keyboard settings' window in Yast2 either. I think the next best thing is to vim the config file, if someone could pls point out the KDE config file for this. TiA, and have a great day!

[opensuse] emptying Trash problem on suse 10.0 and 10.2
by John King 14 May '07

14 May '07

Since carrying out an update through Yast last week, I've been faced with a problem emptying Trash of deleted files. When I delete a file, it goes into Trash, and by right-clicking on the Trash bin, and selecting 'open', I can see the files listed. Also, in /home/<user>/.local/share/Trash/files, I can see the files. However, if I right-click on the Trash bin and select 'Empty Trash bin', the 'Move to trash - Kdesktop' dialogue box appears, with the message 'Do you really want to move this item to Trash' and in the listing box beneath a single forward slash - '/' - with none of the files listed. Not wanting to delete the root directory (if that is what the message means), I haven't clicked on the 'trash' button yet. All the users of the PC get the same message when trying to empty Trash. I also created a completely new user, and the same thing happens. The problem occurs both on the suse 10 system on a desktop and suse 10.2 on a notebook. -- John johnmking_uk(a)yahoo.co.uk ___________________________________________________________ The all-new Yahoo!

[opensuse] Thank You Michael Dell - ATI Drivers
by John Andersen 14 May '07

14 May '07

Thank You Michael Dell. Some time ago I suggested that the biggest and most immediate fall out of Dell deciding to offer Linux, (anybody's linux) would be the proprietary chipset manufacturers finally deciding that they could no longer ignore linux. It would seem that there may be some movement on this, or at least hints of movement: http://www.0xdeadbeef.com/weblog/?p=288 -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] automating the wlan connect
by Mohamed Haidar 14 May '07

14 May '07

Hello pro's, I have a simple question. Every time I boot my computer I have to type the KDE wallet password to log on to the wlan. How do you do it so the connection to the wlan is automatic without the need to type the password every time ??

[opensuse] RE: Changing Global File Security

Open Yast>Security>Local Security>Custom>set file permissions to "secure" Can anyone please have a look at behind yast2 and tell me what is the impact of this action and when is it executed. This may solve up to 3 Major Bug issues I have Open but without making a fool out of myself I need to know what it does. Also is its action reversible by opening the same app. about 24 hours later and setting back to easy???? I am guessing it is a cron job but once executed cannot be undone???????/ Scott

Does anybody know of a location for Pidgin RPMs. I tried running the source, but when it installed, it complained about libpurple. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] RE: CUPS Prnt Server in 10.2
by Registration Account 14 May '07

14 May '07

Despite a relatively easy setting up of a CUPS Print Server when I open ANY browser on that PC Http://localhost:631 I just get the error "404 Not Found" Yes cups is running as a service. I have performed an unconditional update from disk and available cups update I think I may have to delete all, however this is no problem if it will fix the issue. I use KDE and now I really do not understand the need for the KDE Print Manager front end I can view. >From the Clients I can see ALL the Printers, however they remain (on the print servers cue) AND I cannot print locally off course. Any one else got any ideas, if you have please don't give me a whole lot of command line entries if you don't need to. If I don't test the user interface, I never find bugs - I know we all would love just to quickly fix things from the console, but this does not help us identifying and fixing bugs in the UI. Cheers to all Scott
