[opensuse] Scanner and archiving
by Hans van der Merwe 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

I have a lot of semi-useful documents that I want to archive using my flatbed scanner. Im willing to manually place each piece of paper on the scanner but need some software to manage the capture - bind - output to PDF part. Something like this. 1. Set some settings, page size, PDF settings etc - Save 2. Place page 1, press Scan 3. Place page 2, press Scan 4. dito 5. etc 6. Press Stop 7. Prompt for Filename 7. Save pages as one doc as PDF. 8. Goto 2. Anyone know of something or should I start learning how to write Kommander dialogs (I guess most of this can be done with commandline apps, just need a easy-to-use(TM) interface) E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 9.0 to 10.2 update problem with virtual terminals
by Mark Hounschell 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

I did an update from 9.0 to 10.2 and all went well. I have an application that runs on a virtual terminal (/dev/tty2). It has a command line prompt in which the last char sent to it is a ^] (0x1d). (Why isn't relevant) This char was never actually displayed. It now displays a char something like <*> for this char. On 9.0 the char was not displayed. A fresh install of 10.2 and the char is not displayed. In a konsole terminal session the char is not displayed. Only in a virtual terminal is it displayed. (tty1 - tty12) Instead of a fresh install I thought someone might know the easy answer to making the char not displayable. Thanks in advance Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Dell Precision workstation + nVidia Quadro FX 4600 + 3007WFP == No Xgl?
by David Gersic 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

I've searched the archives, and can't find any reference to this combination, so that probably explains why it doesn't work, but I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask. Anyway, I have a shiny new Precision 490 workstation with the nVidia Quadro FX 4600 video adapter, and the 3007WFP (30" wide format) panel here. OpenSuSE 10.2 installed and working fine. Installed nVidia drivers, no problem. Set resolution to 2560x1600x24-bit colour, no problem. But, I can't enable Xgl / Desktop effects. :-( When I try, I get: Video card: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 019e (rev ...) 3D Acceleration: Enabled Desktop Effects: Disabled Your graphics card is not supported. Furthermore, your colour depth and/or resolution is not within the allowed range (1024x768 - 1920x1200 resolution, 24-bit color). If you fix this, you may be able to run Xgl. So, two problems. First would be getting the Quadro FX 4600 to be a supported card. Who do I contact about getting it added to the list? I'd be happy to test or try whatever is needed, since I'm assuming the developpers can't own every possible video board out there. Second, is there a way to get Xgl to take higher resolutions? I really don't want to drop down to only 1920x1200 here. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, When I installer Xgl, my nVidia 6600 wasn't supported but it worked. So try to adjust the screen resolution or the depth color. Sorry for my bad english ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] compiz fusion on native nvidia
by primm 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hi everyone I have the latest compiz-git stuff up without xgl under nvidia. It really is getting stable. Stunning. Two small problems: logging out freezes to the point of having to reboot. Under xgl it logged out smoothly. I used to be able to have a choice of kde and then when kde was up replacing it with compiz. --replace kwin again locks solid. now I always get compiz/emerald. I know this is early days but just wondered if anyone else was going down the same path as me. 10.2 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Newbie question - How stable is OpenSuSE vs SLES9
by John Mok 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hi, It is a newbie question. Is OpenSuSE is comparable to SLES9 in terms of Stability, like CentOS to RHEL? or it is a desktop Linux distribution? Thank you, John Mok -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Greetings, list. I am getting this lines repeatedly in /var/log/samba/log.smbd : printing/print_cups.c:cups_cache_reload(85) Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost - Address family not supported by protocol though I am not doing any printing with samba.

[opensuse] Smart and traceback
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Having already updated several times I get every time a window with traceback shows up. Have no idea what to with it and due to my desktop settings (1024x768) and the fact that this list does not seem scrollable, I have no idea how far down this traceback goes. Could somebody tell me what the for my readable part tells me and what to do next. My update went okay as far as I could tell but my /var/lib/smart/packages now holds some 274 packages many of which are of three to four different versions. Last update 54 packages. Something does not sound right. Here is the part of the traceback that I can read: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/interfaces/gtk/interactive.py", line 180, in callback exec code in globals File "<callback>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/interfaces/gtk/interactive.py", line 466, in upgradeAll self.applyChanges(confirm=not emptychangeset) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/interfaces/gtk/interactive.py", line 424, in applyChanges if self._ctrl.commitTransaction(transaction, confirm=confirm): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/control.py", line 498, in commitTransaction return self.commitChangeSet(trans.getChangeSet(), caching, confirm) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/control.py", line 556, in commitChangeSet pmclass().commit(pmcs, pkgpaths) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/backends/rpm/pm.py", line 270, in commit probs = ts.run(cb, None) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/backends/rpm/pm.py", line 338, in __call__ self._process_rpmout() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/backends/rpm/pm.py", line 323, in _process_rpmout output = self.rpmout.read() -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] QT4 patch
by Robert Lewis 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Does anyone happen to know if SUSE has compiled QT4 with a fix titled 00_0186-fix-component-alpha-text.diff.dpatch. I would like to apply it to my system without having to compile it myself. Especially since I don't know how to get the source code and would prefer to just install an RPM. It resolves some graphics issues with Skype I hear. I have more information on that the patch does if anyone needs it. I currently have Qt Open Source Edition version 4.3.0.
