Hi, "nice" to know that it also happens to someone else and not only to me... :o) The curious thing is that this only happens on the desktop system I use at work but, let me knock on wood, not at home... where amaroK runs in all its glance (no extras turned off) The problems appeared after some online update, IIRC... that's the only way I update/install things in that system: using 'smart'. On monday I'll uninstall amaroK 1.4.5 and will revert to the version from the DVD... well, if you do it during the weekend and that fixes your problem please let me know :-) Cheers, Martin ----- Original Message ---- From: Jonathan Arnold <jdarnold(a)buddydog.org> To: opensuse(a)opensuse.org Sent: Friday, June 1, 2007 6:39:58 PM Subject: [opensuse] Re: amaroK sound glitches Martin Mielke wrote: > 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... Yup, same here. Isn't it annoying? I've minimized the problem by turning off lots of the extras that come with it, like the lyrics download. I think it is too busy doing other things, besides just playing music.

[opensuse] CD question
by James Hatridge 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

Hi all, Sometimes I have a CD/DVD go bad etc and it will not come out of the CD reader. As root I try the eject command and it will not work saying that the CD is busy. So far I've ended up rebooting to get the !"§$ CD out. Is there a way to force the eject command to work without rebooting?

[opensuse] VPN Client (Solved)
by Kai Ponte 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

A little while ago, I asked about the KVpnc client, as I was being unsuccessful in using it to connect to my work. I had used the Cisco vpnclient but wanted something with a single-click (GUI) and that wouldn't break every time I updated the kernel. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work for me. Today, I copied the cisco VPN client from my desktop system and installed it. I have the Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 4.8 and sure enough, it works out of the box. I just installed it, copied my .pcf file over to the Profiles folder and ran it as root. Works like a charm. I'm now on my corporate network while sitting at my dining table enjoying a cup of tea. http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/2007/20070601_suse_rdc.jpg ...ahh, I love it when computers work... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] no brochure printing in opensuse ooo2.2
by John King 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

For some time I've used the brochure printing facility in the versions of openoffice.org downloaded from the openoffice.ord site to produce A5 brochures, catalogues, programmes etc. However, in the latest version of openoffice 10.2 downloaded from the opensuse servers, it is no longer possible to print in brochure format. Briefly, for those who have not used this facility in openoffice, you set a page format of A5 portrait, enter your text and graphics, and then at printing time choose the options sub-dialogue of the print dialogue and select 'brochure', then in the printer properties dialogue, set the paper size to A4 and the orientation to Landscape. A multipage brochure is then printed out in A5 format, with all the pages arranged for stapling. (if you haven't got a duplex printer, you have to make 2 passes, but the page size and orientation principle remains the same). Full explanations are in the openoffice help under 'brochures', with the specific instruction to set the orientation to Landscape. In the 'standard' openoffice package downloaded from the ooo site, this works as described. You can see a .png of the printer properties dialogue on http://www.kingshome.co.uk/ooo/bugs/standard-ooo2.2.png Similarly, the staroffice 8 version is the same: http://www.kingshome.co.uk/ooo/bugs/staroffice8.png These have been tested out on both Suse 10 and opensuse 10.2 However, the recent opensuse ooo2.2 (on both suse 10 and 10.2) does not behave in the same way. When you click on the printer properties, a dialogue comes up that does not allow you to set landscape orientation for the paper, as shown on: http://www.kingshome.co.uk/ooo/bugs/opensuse-ooo2.2.png This makes it impossible to print out in brochure format with 2 A5 portrait pages side by side. It seems as if the orientation in the opensuse version of ooo can only be that of the page format in the original document, not the one set at printing time, as in the 'standard' versions. I don't know whether this is a bug or not, but it is odd that it behaves differently. I've also tried this out with different printers, with the same result in the various applications, so I do not think it is a printer driver problem. Is there any way round this? -- John johnmking_uk(a)yahoo.co.uk ___________________________________________________________ Does your mail provider give you FREE antivirus protection? Get Yahoo!

[opensuse] Not a question, rather a statement
by Verner Kjærsgaard 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

Hi list, - this list has often debated the useability of SuSE/Linux in general - over that other OS. - at 11:15 this morning I powered up my brand new Epson Perfection V700 Photo scanner. I plugged in the USB cord. My SuSE10.2 found the scanner and subsequently downloaded software to run it. - at 11:21 I did my first scan. Perfect. - at 11:24 I did my second scan, this time a transparency. Perfect. - I did not touch the CDs that came with the scanner. I'm now reading the manual. Linux/Suse rules and rocks! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Or a specific OOo version? 2.2? I think that we might omit the version at all. OOo-3.x will come one day... Or would we want to prepare OOo-3 splashscreens for older products?

[opensuse] OpenOffice.org 2.2
by Siegfried Wolkenstein 01 Jun '07

Hello, is there a SuSE rpm package for OpenOffice.org available? I cannot find one. There is an error int the OOo 2.1.14.package: [quote] this chunk of code should be correct, but it doesn't work as expected. [code] oTables = myDocument.getTextTables() oTable = oTables(0) tableHeight = oTable.Rows.Count-1 tableWidth = oTable.Columns.Count [/code] tableHeight equals 50, but tableWidth equals 0 (there are actually 9 columns...).

I don't think 9.3 uses syslog-ng just the old syslog. Therefore /var/log/messages would be the place to look for messages about "who is coming in" (whatever that might mean). You could type "last" as root and see the list of logins. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
