[opensuse] Best way to copy mail (kmail)
by Jim Flanagan 02 Jun '07

02 Jun '07

Hi all, This is a basic question, but what is the best way to copy my email files from one install (9.3) to my new install (10.2). Same machine. Old install is mounted as same user name mounted at "data1". I have not used kmail on the new install yet, but did open kmail once, have not set up users. I see may old mail in /data1/home/user/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail. I see the same folder in the new install, with only a few sub-folders. Should I just copy the whole /mail folder over the new one and be done with it? Or would "cat" be better? Again, there is no mail in the new folder so I can overwrite it if need be.

[opensuse] knetwork manager issues
by Gordon J. Holtslander 02 Jun '07

02 Jun '07

Hi: I have a laptop hp nx 7300. If I leave the system running for more than a few hours the networkmanager program quits running and can't be restarted. I use it to manage the wireless networking on this system If I stop the network manager program and restart, I am returned a message that the network manager is not running. It does not appear to be possible to restart the network manager. In order to re establish a wireless network connection I am forced to restart the computer. Any way around this? I have the wireless card setup to be managed as a regular user with networkmanager. Gord -- Gordon J.

[opensuse] opensuse repositories now illegal in Germany
by Thomas Meindl 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

Reading the news I came across the legal issue of a new law in Germany. It is now illegal to own, write or distribute preventive software which can test the security of a computer by using the internet. As far as I can see this means that portscanner like nmap are now illegal. Does anyone know how this affects the opensuse distribution?

[opensuse] updating problem (opensususeupdater)
by Carlos E. R. 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, opensuse updater says there is one package available: Name Type New Version Catalog perl-Archive-Tar: Update to satisfy missing dependency Patch 3438-0 20070216-193512 But when I choose to update, there is nothing (in YOU). I close it, and the next round there it is again. A day has passed already and it keeps insisting there is one update when there is none. What is wrong? If I manually search in YOU for "perl-Archive-Tar", I find a package not selected for update, installed version 1.30-17 and available version 1.30-22.1. Why doesn't it update automatically? And, if it should not be updated, why does opensuse-updater says there is one update pending? If I search for the patch, it says thus: perl-Archive-Tar - perl-Archive-Tar: Update to satisfy missing dependency A earlier spamassassin update added a new dependency for perl-Archive-Tar. This causes illegible errormessages from the update stack which are not do not point to this problem.Since it requires the package to be pulled from the installation media which might not be listed anymore this update just contains the package to fulfill the new dependencies. It contains no changes compared to the original shipping version. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFGXI1mtTMYHG2NR9URAu/XAKCAwdjNlfW5r1hFE3xTDDuL3ErhpgCggyyt kQh9dZwGrwmeYNfczMhLrKo= =8Kw6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] amaroK sound glitches
by Martin Mielke 01 Jun '07

Hi, well, I don't download from those P2P networks... all my music comes from original CDs :-P No, by now I only use xine, which has been performing perfectly some days ago on the desktop at work... that one is a Pentium dual-core with 4 GB RAM... I guess it's more that enough to play music... :-) Again, as for the engine... I almost can foresee that helix won't help me out either because, as I said, I can play files or streams perfectly using MPlayer, for example... Anyway, I'll give it a try... I'll keep you posted.

[opensuse] KDE doesn't start after new Install
by James D. Parra 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

Hello, Rebuilt a workstation where the user's home dir is on network mount point. Old install was running Suse 9.1 and the new install is 10.0. When KDE is started from the GUI login, or startx from the command line, the following error occurs; <snip> There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE. The message returned to the system was; Could not read network connection list /home/user/.DCOPserver_linux_0 Please check that "dcopserver" is running. <snip> Issuing 'dcopserver' from the command line doesn't fix the problem. I imagine I need to remove old KDE settings from the user's home directory, but I am not sure which. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[opensuse] Adding an installation source to YaST (SUSE 10.0 AMD64 x 2)
by Peter Bradley 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

It's time I got this business of adding installation sources to YaST thing sorted. I'd really like to install the latest versions of Mono and Monodevelop, so I went to the web site, which advises SUSE uses to add the installation source: http://go-mono.com/download-stable/suse-100-x86_64 to YaST. In YaST --> Software --> Installation Source, I clicked on add --> http and, in the dialog that appears added the following details: Server Name: go-mono.com Directory on server: download-stable/suse-100-x86_64 After clicking OK in the dialog, it went away and thought about it for a while and then added 27 identical URLs to the list in the Software source media dialog. The URLs added are all listed (immediately after the line specifying my installation DVD source) as: http://go-mono.com/download-stable/suse-100-x86_64 (which, I guess, is what you'd expect except that I was only expecting it to add a single line) I then turned refresh on for each of these entries and clicked Finish. Back in the YaST Control Centre I chose Software Management. YaST then tried to refresh each of these sources. On every attempt, the error message: ERROR(InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media) was displayed. Very user friendly, I thought :-) When I eventually got back to YaST, nothing from this installation source appeared to be displayed (i.e. there was nothing I could see that indicated that I had any version of Mono available to me except 1.1.8x that I had from the installation DVD, and which I had uninstalled prior to adding the new source). The source column in YaST was empty in all cases. Finally, just for the heck of it, I turned refresh off and tried again. The result was the same. Does anyone know what the undoubtedly obvious thing is that I've missed?

[opensuse] amaroK sound glitches
by Martin Mielke 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

Hi all, for some reason I still haven't sorted out amaroK has started to put an annoying glitch while playing from any source (sound file, streams, CD/DVD...). It only lasts like 1 ms but it's disgusting... I tried with some other players such as MPlayer or Exaile and they just work smoothly... so it must be an amaroK issue. I also reinstalled amaroK and the xine library but the problem still remains... The amaroK-related packages installed on my OpenSuSE 10.2: amarok-1.4.5-101.guru.suse102 amarok-xine-1.4.5-101.guru.suse102 libxine1-1.1.6-0.pm.0 Any hints?
