[opensuse] usb boot support
by jdd 01 Jan '08

01 Jan '08

There is a page on booting from usb in the wiki, http://en.opensuse.org/SuSE_install_from_USB_drive the name is partially misleading because you can simply boot and not only install, so I created a new page named http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Boot_from_USB&redirect=no this is for now just a redirection, but may be changed soon when the two pages may diverge But before going further, I have a question: why is it necessary to abort install and search manually for iso image, and not boot directly in the image? (like any CD/DVD) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] I wish I would get YAST (back) for Christmas
by Matt T. 01 Jan '08

01 Jan '08

See my original post below - YAST & YOU all GUIs, incl. ncurses are gone - in the meantime I see no other way than to reinstall, if Santa Claus does not point me in the right direction to solve this: ----- Original Message from Matt T. Saturday 08 December 2007 ---------- Subject: [opensuse] Yast shows "Error while creating client module ..." after YOU yesterday Date: Saturday 08 December 2007 From: "Matt T." <Matt(a)boons.net> To: opensuse(a)opensuse.org Yesterday I did run an almost full YOU (OpenSuse 10.3 x86_64), accepting all preselected updates, including the kernel update (2.6.22.13-0.3-default). After that yast only starts the first window, the menu, listing the modules available. Clicking on one of them results in a little pop up window saying "Error while creating client module online_update" etc, for any module. The same happens if I try to run the modules directly in konsole: # you Error while creating client module online_update # /sbin/yast2 online_update Error while creating client module online_update # /sbin/yast2 sw_single Error while creating client module sw_single (No, this time there is not any message about "Error loading language plugin" (btdt). But to be sure here is what is installed: # rpm -q boost libzypp zypper boost-1.33.1-108 libzypp-4.1.1-5 zypper-0.9.1-7 ) I remember that there was a yast update in the security updates, but not which one (and I cannot run it again ... see above) In order to fix it I used smart to update all yast2 modules with -------------------------------- # smart upgrade 'yast2*' Loading cache...

I searched the list up and down, and also google does not help, so now I'm stuck and could use some help.

[opensuse] kpowersave and display standby mode
by Sampsa Riikonen 01 Jan '08

01 Jan '08

Dear List, I have a problem with the kpowersave's standby -option.. When I set in "enable specific display power management" => standby after N min and wait N minutes, the screen goes off OK, but when I want to reactivate the screen, say moving a mouse or typing something, I just get a blank screen. To get the screen working again I have to restart the X server with ctrl-alt-backspace. .. anyone has a similar experience/a solution? I'm running suse 10.3 on hp tx1000 laptop. .Sampsa -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox 2.0.0.11 doesn't open an URL in Thunderbird
by Erik Jakobsen 01 Jan '08

01 Jan '08

As the subject tells, I suddenly cannot get an URL in Thunderbird opened in Firefox. Nor in any other browser I have (Konqueror) This should be understood, that nothing happens if I click on the URL. What could be the culprit ? -- Venlig hilsen - Best regards - Erik Jakobsen Licensed HAM-RADIO with the callsign OZ4KK http://www.urbakken.dk Registered Linux user #114875 with http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] CLI id3 tag editor with UTF-8 support
by benefici＠fastmail.fm 01 Jan '08

01 Jan '08

Is there a command-line id3 tag editor that supports UTF-8? I have tried python-eyeD3 and id3v2, neither seems to properly support UTF-8. To test I tried (among others): id3v2 -a ö test.mp3 eyeD3 -a ö test.mp3 eyeD3 --remove-all --set-encoding utf8 -a ö test.mp3 All of which set the artist field to "Ã¶" and not to "ö" as can be seen in konqueror/amarok. My LANG is set to en_GB.UTF-8 Tom -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I changed the pop connection encryption to SSL and now it is working (actually, this was also said in the gmail's instruction web-pages, so I should have rtm). .. I still have a problem with the smtp server though.. I have tried every kind of encyption option (none,SSL,TLS), but evolution is not able to send any mail.. ("connection timed out").
