[opensuse] RE: Damaged Master Boot Record
by Registration Account 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

I have 3 HDD in my PC. No matter which Disk I partition to be the boot drive via the GUI Partitioner, I cannot boot the PC from HDD. I am sure the MBR is corrupted - I am using GRUB with NO NTFS Partitions. I cannot find many clear directions on how to re-write the MBR. Can some one please help me with a few clear directions on how to correct this - Perhaps after replying to me you might like to consider writing a SDB page on this as there is little info on this Thanks Scott

[opensuse] openldap problem / question
by ka1ifq 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

I may just be having a brain fart, but I can't seem to get Ldap working on my system and for some even stranger problem it will not let me print any of the config files out (help), as my normal user, file manager superuser mode, and as root. OpenSuse 10.2-x86-64 with the openldap 2.3.27-25 x86-64. Thanks for any help. My first instinct is to remove and reload the packages ( openldap server and client utilites ).

[opensuse] Copy hard drive
by Jonathan Arnold 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

SMART is saying that one of my hard drives is an accident waiting to happen and that I should replace it. No worries there, as I have two 160gb hard drives just sitting around in an unused box I was going to cannibalize anyway. But it does have / and /home on it, so what would be the best way to go about doing this? I think I have an IDE slot to plug in the new drive, or at least I could temporarily replace my CD or something. I assume I would want to use dd or something? -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.

[opensuse] HP Pavilion DV6000 No Microphone input
by Verner Kjærsgaard 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hi list, oohhh, what a blunder. I did it again, bought an HP apparatus although I'd sworn never to buy HP (being a pseudo suporter of OSS only) again. But, sigh, it was very good offer. My elderly mother (74) is going to keep closer contact with freinds using this modern thing called E-mail. It had MS Vista on it - for about 4 minutes - and then OpenSuSE10.2 clean. Works with wireless (after a little fiddling), works with 1280x800 screen (after a lot of fiddling and searching this list, thanks!) Only the microphone input, needed with Skype, doesn't work. Any good hints, what info shall I provide? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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

[opensuse] Quicker starting of remote desktops
by James Knott 05 Aug '07

05 Aug '07

I currently frequently access remote desktops, using XDMCP. Currently, I have to run Switch User > Start New Session, wait for the login panel to appear, and then click on System >Remote login, before the list of available systems is displayed. Is there any quicker way to get to that list of available systems? tnx jk -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] F-spot import to different directory fails
by Leo Eraly 05 Aug '07

05 Aug '07

Hi, I'm using f-spot-0.2.2-28 on openSUSE 10.2 and when I'm attaching a camera to my machine I get the usual 'Photo card detected' option where I can agree to import my pictures into f-spot. Before importing f-spot loads thumbnails from all your pictures and gives you the opportunity to select the pictures to import and to specify to which directory you want to import. By default it points to ~/Photos but if I specify another directory it keeps importing them to ~/Photos instead of the directory I specified. Anyone seen this behavior already? Is this a bug?
