[opensuse] seamonkey bug?
by Istvan Gabor 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Hello: I have openSUSE 10.3 with the latest seamonkey package seamonkey-1.1.7-7.1. After having viewed the document with the print preview option I can't enter Preferences (Edit/Preferences), its window is just not opening. Is this a known bug or my settings are bad?

[opensuse] Support for NIC RTL8168 & Graphic Adapter Intel G33 (Compiz-Fusion)?
by Chee How Chua 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a new CPU with the Gigabyte motherboard. But I'm concerned that the built-in graphics adapter and NIC cannot be recognised by 10.3. The adapter in question here is Intel G33 and the NIC is RTL8168. I've tried the Live CD - GNOME and basic Compiz can run on it. I'm just worried that Compiz-Fusion can't run on it. Does having Compiz run successfully mean that Compiz-Fusion can run as well? And, no, I can't do without Compiz-Fusion - I'm a sucker for desktop eye candy =P As for the NIC, the GNOME Live CD is unable to use it. Meaning that the Network Manager is able to detect the type of card but says that it is "not connected". It even knows the MAC address. And it is using the r8169 module for the NIC. And the sound device is not recognised. I'm testing this on the GA-G31M-S2L motherboard. Unfortunately I can't install the full version of 10.3 on it to test it out. Does anyone here have any experience with the aforementioned hardware?

It would cause the system to behave erratically. I'm going to hold off on encryption until 11.0, since they just changed the methodology and may need time to work out some six-legged critters. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Flash fixes for KDE / Konqueror released today
by Marcus Meissner 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Hi, We have released fixes for kdebase3, kdelibs3 (sled10, 10.1-10.3) and gtk-qt-engine (sled10, 10.1-10.2) today that make Flash Player work again in konqueror. Flash feels as stable as before the flashplayer security update to me. (The kdebase3 patch is harmless / confusingly named "fileshareset", one of the sub RPMs of kdebase3.)

[opensuse] OpenSuse 10.3 shutting down by itself
by Shibu Basheer 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Hi, I have a new installation of Open Suse. I find it to randomly shuts down, just like someone accidently presses the power button, or issue the shutodown command. There are no prompts, messages or anything, just starts shutting down closing everything that I've been doing. Any ideas on how to isolate this problem? BTW, this has happened on another computer, but AMD CPUs, only common component was the memory, and a TV card. uname -a Linux linux-ph4g 2.6.22.5-31-default #1 SMP 2007/09/21 Thank you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

It should be straight forward. That was and i think still is how linux is installed in computers in data centers.

No,not really. I think the easiest way is to rebuild the dvd , set the boot loader without the gfxboot option and also pass console=tty0,115200 to the kernel. But I have no idea how to do this. Not really sure if i can copy all the contents of the dvd to a folder and then use isolinux to rebuild it.

re:[opensuse] Problem getting printing to work in OpenOffice
by Michel Rasquin 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

I had the same kind of problem with oo and OpenSuSE 10.2. The reason in my case is that oo is not initially configured to print through a NFS network. If your document to print is stored on a disk mounted with NFS, then edit the file /usr/bin/soffice and uncomment the two first lines: #SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1 #export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING Hope it can help...
