[opensuse] Sierra 850 Wireless Card - SOLVED
by Chris Rolfe 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Found the following https://forge.vodafonebetavine.net/projects/vodafonemobilec/ This is a Vodafone connect client for Linux, and works just great! It is also available in the repositories if you search for it in webpin. The 850 card requires an additional plugin for the card to be recognised. Give me a shout if you require this file.

[opensuse] Access a remote openSuSE installation sitting behind NAT
by Marcin Floryan 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Hi! I have recently installed a fresh openSuSE 10.3 for one of my friends who mainly uses his box to browse the Internet and has little technical skills. It seems like he has some problems with the sound card setup and I would like to investigate but have no access to the computer (ie. physical) and though on broadband the machine is behind a NAT (and possibly a firewall) with no public IP so can't connect to it either. Is there a way that I could access the machine (ssh, vnc) with as little user intervention as possible (ideally just a simple command). I sit behind a NAT myself by should be able to configure some port forwarding if necessary. Any suggestions welcome. Cheers, Marcin -- Marcin Floryan http://marcin.floryan.pl/ Please consider the environment before printing this email. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 10.3 couldn't shutdown
by Andy Clus 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Hi, I've been using openSUSE 10.3 for few months and have no problems with it. But recently, the shutdown feature is disabled by some unknown reasons. I use GNOME, when I select Computer -> Shutdown, the Shutdown and Restart options are disabled, and I can only choose Sleep or Hibernate. So when I want to turn off the computer, I have to either use "shutdown -h 0" or logout first, then choose Shutdown from the Login screen, which is very inconvenient. Has anyone have the same problem? Could you please show me how to fix it? Thanks, Andy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Installing "wink" to capture streaming video
by Philippe Landau 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

http://software.opensuse.org/search?p=1&baseproject=ALL&q=wink 1-click install first lets me subscribe to a repository that i already am subscribed to, then reports: > Software installation > Installation was only partially successful. > The following packages could not be installed > wink Manual Package Download gives: "Open with Install Software" seems to install it but then just quits without report. Downloading wink from http://www.debugmode.com/wink/download.php extract all, open wink15.tar-1, running install.sh, then placing wink into /usr/bin, run wink from there gets an error message about a library. Wink is practical for recording tutorials from screen captures too.

[opensuse] How do I remove stale destop device icons in gnome desktop?
by Carlos E. R. 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, The gnome desktop insists on displaying icons in the desktop for partitions I once had but Ino longer have. The "delete" entry in properties is greyed out even for root. I searched the whole filesystem for any *.desktop file named as one of them, or containing the name of one of them: nothing found. I don't know where on earth it is getting those names from, but I want them out, and I don't want new ones to appear. How do I delete those damm icons? [...] I found references in ".nautilus/metafiles/x~desktop:%2F%2F%2F.xml". I exited the session, edited the file, and logged in: no effect. I tried another time removing the entire .nautilus/* directory: no effect, the damm icons remain in the desktop; and of course, they are not in the "Desktop/" directory. And something recreated the "x-nautilus-desktop:%2F%2F%2F.xml" directory. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHf4vDtTMYHG2NR9URAlSMAJ4mvwoOcpAMh/+ME+vel1fepUcFGQCgiYQo RJt3McQdGsm2OxvUlYb52jY= =eP1f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Posix Shared Memory - for ATI Drivers - Network card issue
by Sergio S. 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Hello there, I have read on the ati website that in order to install properly the graphics card drivers I need to have enable the posix shared memory feature http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html I followed the instructions below quoted To enable POSIX Shared Memory on your system, perform the following as root: 1. Add the following line to /etc/fstab (if it isn't there already): tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 2. Mount shared memory as follows: mount /dev/shm 3. Issue the following command to check that it mounted properly: mount | grep "shm" If the mount was successful, then the following output (or similar) should appear: tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) and the result appeared as it stated above. But after I edited the /etc/fstab file adding that line and having restarted the system the outcome was that the ethernet card was deactivated. On my adsl modem the ethernet light was off, and therefore no internet connection. In the meantime I removed that line from fstab. Any suggestion on how to enable the Posix Shared memory feature and keeping the network card working ?
