But I have some questions how to optimize download: 1. is it necessary to download all *.info *.delta.rpm *patch.rpm files, are any advantages using them? 2. in repo there are several versions of the same program, is it possible to download only the latest version?

[opensuse] Safely remove USB
by Hans van der Merwe 01 Aug '07

Hi, When I right-click -> safely remove USB disk on my 10.2 KDE desktop, while the drive is still open somewhere in a konsole or Krusader, it just ignores me. It it just me or shouldn't at least popup a dialog saying the drive is till busy (maybe providing a list of apps that are holding it)?

[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] Sound problems on Presario SR5110NX with nVidia 6150 card
by Jim Sabatke 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

I can't get a friend's new computer's sound to work. I've scoured the web looking for answers and have found quite a few hits with the same problem and lots of things to try, but little helpful in the way of replies. I've loaded SuSE 10.2 64 on the box, and it doesn't detect any sound cards during installation. Has anyone else run into this, hopefully with a fix? TIA, Jim -- 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

Let me know if you get it working. Hans ps the instructions on the openembedded page should be removed, its not accurate.
