[opensuse] Mac software on OpenSUSE 10.3?
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Hi all, my son has an Apple Mac. Others in the family have OpenSUSE 10.3 Lots of software is prepared for Mac, like the Encyclopaedia Britannica I purchased last year. If it runs on a Mac, which is OS-X (Darwin), can it be made to run on OpenSUSE too?? :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Maybe your default user is not authorized to power off, but I don't remember off-hand where this is configured. Login features or thereabouts, I suppose.

[opensuse] YoMama

Hello All, No jokes please as I find them offensive. Back in SuSE 6.3 I used to use this program for my astronomy images. I can not find a source for it even Googling turns up pages that no longer exist. Does anyone know of a source for this program from Yale Uni ? -- Kindest regards, Clive http://homepage.ntlworld.com/c.rogers/ Fighting for darker skies.

[opensuse] issues with cryptmount?
by Rick Smegal 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Hail, cryptmount appears to be a neat solution to on-the-fly mounting of encrypted file systems on usb drives by ordinary users. Other than keeping encryption details in plaintext on the main drive (which is not a serious issue in my situation), are there any other issues surrounding cryptmount on suse 10.3 that I should know about?

This is not suported by Linux. It's sold under the name of Zaapa ZW-WD854. Can the windows drivers that came with the device be used in this case? Thanks. L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bye bye Sue 10.3
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

It was nice playing around with 10.3 but after loosing the use of my CDrom and unable to use my TV card I am back now with 10.2 where everything functions as it should. Have no idea what has changed within the two versions but with my older hardware, a P II I ran into too much troubles with 10.3. I will be back regularly to update 10.3 and see if it has improved enough to get it working on my machine. For now I have at least a working platform. If this is the direction of newer software I see black for older hardware. Lets not give up hope. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Howto Set up ATI 3D Acceleration
by Mark Weaver 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All, Since loading Suse 10.3 on my new laptop about a week ago I've not yet been able to get my onboard ATI chipset configured to enable 3D acceleration. Using YaST I installed the necessary, applicable drivers from the ATI Repository: ati-fglrxG01-kmp-default - ATI "fglrx" driver kernel module ATI "fglrx" driver kernel module x11-video-fglrxG01 - X Window display driver for the ATI graphics accelerators Display driver files for the ATI RADEON (8500 and later), MOBILITY RADEON (M9 and later), RADEON XPRESS IGP and FireGL series of graphics graphics accelerators. This package provides 2D display drivers, control panel source coude and hardware accelerated OpenGL. However, I'm not sure now what to do with it next.

I have tried both using the madwifi source in yast, and downloading and compiling my own madwifi. Neither worked for me. I tried compiling again this AM after the suggestion came in, just to make sure I got the latest version. But no change.
