And, like in Perl, it is optional if it is the only command within a block. Actually, most newlines in shell are taken as an implicit ; even. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] NVidia xinerama setup - second screen slightly darker after resume from suspend
by Thomas Meindl 01 Sep '07

01 Sep '07

Hi all, this is a question for all that use two screens on one NVidia graphics card. After resuming from suspend to disk or ram I discovered that the second screen is way darker (in respect of gamma value) than the first one. When rebooting, both screens have the same brightness level again. This happens on an GForce 7500GS with the Closed Source NVidia driver (100.14.11). The hardware settings of the monitors in the OSD stay the same, of course. Has any of you encountered this behaviour so far? It would be nice if you could give me some feedback, so I could therefore open a bug-report if this happens to more people. Kind regards, Tom -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Re: Fixed: Firefox won't show any webpages

[If anyone is interested:] After some searching on the web, and trying lots of things, the fix that did the trick was simple: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_some_websites#IPv6 Strange though that it worked before, and Firefox suddenly decided it could only do IP6 DNS... Met vriendelijke groet / Best regards, Wilfred van Velzen >>> "Wilfred van Velzen" <w.v.velzen(a)sercom.nl> 2007-08-27 11:02:26 >>> Hi, After my last system reboot Firefox isn't showing any webpages anymore. All I get is the "Server not found..." page (immediately). There are some exceptions though: When I directly type an IP number of some website, or when the url is in my /etc/host (like 'localhost'), everything works fine. So it seems to be dns related. But the strange thing is Konqueror is working fine. And resolving urls from the commandline with the 'host' command also works. So what could be the problem, and how do I fix it?

First, *don't* top post. The Altix 4700 is a single system, i.e. there is exactly _one_ kernel running. No RAIN, openMosix or any other form of clustering. And you have like 1 TB of RAM to your display _at once_, without having to change your program to use extra parts like MPI. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
