Hi List, I get the following error: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libaoss.so' from LD_PERLOAD cannot be preloaded when running up Firefox AND also when trying to compile (for example turbojpeg). Running opensuse 10.2 on x86_64 Any help appreciated in obtaining the right library object file.

[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

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

[opensuse] nVidia Video Card Advice Please
by Mike 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

I just recently replaced my motherboard with a newer board with PCIe support (AMD x2 Dual Core 5200+) and an integrated nVidia 6100 video adapter. The integrated adapter works and I was finally able to install the nVidia drivers for 3D support, but it leaves a lot to be desired. First off, it wasn't even recognized by OpenSUSE. It came up as a Vesa Framebuffer adapter and I couldn't change it. I ran "sax2 -r -m 0=nv" to get wide screen resolution from my monitor, then installed the nvidia drivers. It still shows up as a Vesa Framebuffer adapter even though the nVidia drivers are loaded. Also, I am getting extremely bad ghosting (shadowing) of my fonts which is especially noticeable while typing on a white background. I've tried adjusting the aliasing/anti-aliasing and changing to and from sub-pixel hinting with varying hinting styles, but so far I haven't come across the magic combination yet to get rid of the lousy looking fonts. I've got a MAG 22" wide screen LCD monitor and the setup with my old motherboard worked perfectly for me with a nVidia GeForce FX 5200 AGP card. My question is this: Is there something I may be missing in the setup of the integrated 6100 or should I just buy a separate PCIe 16x adapter? Which nVidia adapter would you folks recommend? I don't have a whole lot to spend on it at this point but would like something that works with 3D enabled and renders the fonts like my old 5200 did. I checked the HCL and found that the GeForce 7300LE PCIe is supposed to work properly with 10.2. Are any of you using that adapter and if so how is it working out for you? Thanks very much for your help. Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
