[opensuse] Cannot boot from a USB DVD drive
by John O'Gorman 28 May '07

28 May '07

A colleague of mine has been happily using a USB DVD drive with openSUSE 10.2 It works fine for upgrades and anything else you use DVDs for. But it won't boot. He is using a VIA 6000 motherboard, has set the BIOS to include the USB in the boot sequence, but no good - it simply times out. Any ideas? Is this a motherboard issue? regards John O'Gorman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Is there a kde utility available for SUSE/KDE (GUI) to configure the ndiswrapper? I can't find one.

[opensuse] Publisher alternatives

I'm putting together a document listing alternatives for Microsoft Publisher, and so far I can only think of Scribus. Are there any others out there that show promise? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I would think a ClueByFour would be a better solution in the end. Attempting to block such things is a never ending task, but kicking the user off your server (and kicking some butt in the process) is usually more effective. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KVpnc Issue
by Kai Ponte 28 May '07

28 May '07

I'm trying out KVpnc as an alternative to the Cisco vpnclient application. when I try to run it I get an issue with the group password. My company has a Cisco VPN with a RSA SecureID token generator. I then have a PIN that I enter with the token to access my VPN. I use the Cisco VPN client on Wintendo and the vpnclient on *nix. with KVpnc I haave the "allow empty group password (insecure)" option checked under Profile > Connection Specific > Cisco. As far as I know, I have no group password. I do have a .pcf file, which I imported. When I try to connect, the group password field is to be left blank. However the application requires me still to fill out something. I have kvpnc 0.8.6.1 under KDE 3.5.5 on 10.2. Any body might know about this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] [SuSE 10.2] Path to downloaded RPMs
by Stuart Murray-Smith 28 May '07

28 May '07

Hi list If I were to load an obscure URL into 'Configured Software Catalogs' (nVidia drivers say), where would SuSE 10.2 store the downloaded RPMs? Would these files be deleted automatically once installed? Also, how would I toggle automatic deletion, if possible :-) TiA, and have a great day!

[opensuse] Enlightenment e17 and e16
by G T Smith 28 May '07

28 May '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In attempting to get hold of something to edit my enlightenment menus I accidentally torched my e16 installation. It was easy enough to restore the e16 setup, but it seems the e17 (from Pacman) rpm a) does not install e17 completely correctly, b) removes the e16 installation. According to the enlightenment site e16 and e17 can coexist, Has anyone got these to co-exist on SuSE? If so how? I would prefer not to re-invent the wheel... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGUr6CasN0sSnLmgIRAt0WAJ9VZPRHrYFPUR0P4EMh0gUvaErOZgCdHeku pdqsdyMOhINszuaZVh253Qo= =/jJ4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
