[opensuse] Installing JIKES
by Stan Goodman 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

I wish to use the Jikes Java compiler. I have read the Jikes home page, and discovered that this application is said to be supplied with SuSE, which was good news. I was unable to find "Jikes*" on my openSuSE v10.2; The only related file present is jikes.vim; this appears to be a plugin for vim (that was a surprise -- it seems to be a well-kept secret how one uses these plugins), along with similar files for other languages and utillities. Given that one invokes jikes with the name "jikes", this led me to believe that jikes, although bundled, is not installed. I therefore turned to YaST > Software > Software Management, and tried to install jikes. This did locate the application, and highlighted it. After I clicked on Accept, YaST asked me for CD1, but did not give me an opportunity to insert the CD. At the bottom of the YaST screen, "Next" and "Back" were greyed out, and the only active button was "Abort". A small dialog box appeared , asking me if I was interested in installing any more packages, and I answere "No", pretty much out of spite. How, if at all, might I get jikes on SuSE? At the moment, it seems a more efficient use of my time to do this work on another OS. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel 1975 Home-brew with ASM-80 1978 CP/M 1981 MS-DOS 1987 Quarterdeck 1992 OS/2 - eComStation 2007 LINUX openSuSE Thirty-two years (and counting) of happy, Windows-free computing -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Printer on LTSP client
by Andre Truter 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

Hi All, I have a ltsp server and a thin client that works. Now I need to connect a USB printer to the client and make that work. I have googled and followed the documentation, and different variations of it, but I cannot get it to work. This is what I have in the lts.conf file: [00:20:ED:79:00:BC] PRINTER_0_TYPE = U PRINTER_0_DEVICE = /dev/usb/lp0 I have also tried /dev/usblp0 When I telnet to port 9100 of the client, it connects and then disconnects immediately the first time. If I telnet again, I get a Connection Refused. If I leave it alone for about 10 minutes, I can telnet again to get connected and disconnected again. I have set up a printer in cups as an IP printer to port 9100 on the client, but it does not work. The ltsp server is running SUSE 10.2 and we use ltsp 4.2 Any ideas how to get this working? -- Andre Truter | Software Consultant | Registered Linux user #185282 Jabber: andre.truter(a)gmail.com | http://www.trusoft.co.za ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

The kio_slave are kind of Konqueror plugins: http://en.opensuse.org/Konqueror_Tips_and_Tricks and looking further in information that provides kinfocenter, there is kio-slave called 'system'. That is probably the one that doesn't know how to compress files on either external or internal drives, but knows how to extract compressed files. Problem is that when you connect external USB stick that protocol is used to view the drive. I would say it is minor bug if you know that exists. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problem running monodevelop-0.15 under KDE
by Michel Salim 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

The monodevelop 0.12 that came with openSUSE 10.2 works fine under both GNOME and KDE; after adding the Mono repository for openSUSE 10.2, though, I experienced crashes when running monodevelop 0.15 on KDE. I notice, however, that running monodevelop as a different user works: > su - anotheruser > monodevelop surprisingly, as long as su - is used, monodevelop works (i.e. instead of anotheruser, it could have been any user, including the one currently logged in) Running monodevelop under GNOME, needless to say, works as well. The problem seems to involve GTK, leading me to suspect it's some theming problem. GTK-Qt, perhaps? Would appreciate any help. Meanwhile, I'll just have to su - to myself before running MD. Thanks, -- Michel

[opensuse] Asus P5K3 Deluxe motherboard + OpenSUSE 10.3
by Matthew Stringer 01 Sep '07

01 Sep '07

Hi, I'm looking at building a new all Linux PC soon, been going through all my Windows apps and finding Linux equivalents (almost got everything covered). I've decided to build the machine to co-incide with the release of 10.3. I've settled on an Intel core 2 quad CPU, 2+GB RAM 120GB + 500GB SATA2 HD's etc. Couple of things I've not pinned down, main one is the motherboard, I'm leaning towards an Asus P5K3 Deluxe as it ticks all the boxes and looks sufficiently high quality to last. http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=534&l4=0&model=1645&modelme… Although I'm happy that the chipset will be supported I've not found any info regarding the built in periferals (i.e LAN, Wi-Fi, FireWire etc). In addition to using the machine as a regular desktop I also want to use it as part of my hobby recording studio (synth music) and have decided to take the plunge and use the DAW/studio software Linux has to offer so a nice quick stable machine is important. If anyone has an opinion on this mobo I'd be interested in hearing it.

[opensuse] 10.3 beta install
by Robert Lewis 01 Sep '07

01 Sep '07

Twice now with Beta 1 and Beta 2 of 10.3 I find that I have no network connection on completion of the install. The attempt to add the repositories during install fails. Post install if I go into YaST and change the IPV6 that it setup to IPV4 using DHCP then I get the network going. I have talked with others who didn't have this problem. Any ideas/thoughts about what is going on? Cheers, Bob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I don't remember exactly, but I don't think so, the last FireFox update was a few weeks ago, if I remember correctly? And I also had the same kind of symptoms before the reset. Only this was after some time of working with FireFox (sometimes a couple of days). And just restarting FireFox fixed the problem, so I didn't pay to much attention to it, just one of those things... After the reset the problem was there right away. > > After my last system reboot Firefox isn't showing any webpages > > anymore. > > All I get is the "Server not found..." page (immediately). > ... > > Next time try to search our local source: > http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Search?search=ipv6&go.x=0&go.y=0&go=Go > > We know IPv6 ^_^ If you know what the problem is exactly, finding the solution is a lot easier. ;) Maybe IPv6 should be disabled by default in FireFox!?

[opensuse] compressing files
by Art Fore 01 Sep '07

01 Sep '07

OK, needed to compress some files into a zip achrive. Highlight the files in Konquerer as usual, select compress, zip (has to be windows compatible), says compressing, then never finishes. Have done this before. What is the problem with Suse 10.2 all of a suddent?
