[opensuse] Compiz 0.7.8-25.1 - GLX will not stay enabled
by Ben Kevan 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

Well, I think I know what is causing my issues with 0.7.8-25.1 I've installed it, killed my .emerald and .config/compiz directories I then tried configuring it using ccsm, just to find that the GLX plugin wouldn't stay configured. No output when launching ccsm & is delievered to the console, so I can't really give you any reason why. This is my production machine, so I'll try to duplicate on a different box to help find the issue.

[opensuse] Driver for Xerox Phaser 3117 laser printer
by Bogdan Cristea 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

Does anyone succeeded to install Xerox Phaser 3117 laser printer in openSuSE 11.0? The driver coming with printer's CD does not seem to work, either the alternative, Samsung-ML-6040-gdi.ppd, as was recommended on a discussion list. -- Bogdan Cristea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] LCD resolution greater than native on ultra mobile Asus R2Hv
by Allen 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

Hi List, I have installed openSUSE 11.0 on an Asus R2Hv ultra mobile PC. This umpc has a intel mobile celeron 1GHz, 1.2GB ram, 80GB HDD, Intel 915GM display, bluetooth, wlan, gps, and a built-in 7" touchscreen display. OpenSUSE recognises all the devices, and they all work with some configuration. All except the monitor. I can get the native resolution of 800x480 or also 640x480, but under Vista I can also select a higher resolution of 1024x600. Obviously I would like to get the resolution to go to 1024x600. When I have an external monitor attached, I can select 1024x600 or a standard 1024x768, so I assume the Intel 915GM display adaptor is capable of the resolution. Here is an excerpt from /var/log/Xorg.0.log with an external monitor attached. #xorg.0.log -> external monitor =========== X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90 ... (II) I810: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810, i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G, E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 965G, 965G, 965Q, 946GZ ...

[opensuse] update kde 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 factory repo
by lynn 04 Oct '08

All the 4.1.2 files seem to be there as yast tells me in the installed/available dialogue but when I choose all in this list>update if newer version available I get hundreds of 'nothing provides' error usually because libqt4-x11>=4.4.3 needed by kdebase4-runtime-4.1.2.44.2.i586 I'm running a 64 bit amd with opensuse 11 x86_64 Shouldn't Yast handle the dependencies for me? I'm thinking that I must now manually update qt. But from where? Can anyone help me?

[opensuse] Release schedule change?
by Greg Freemyer 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

I was just looking at an email from Novell and saw: openSUSE 11.1 (currently in development, to be released December 2008) I thought the current release schedule was every 8 or 9 months. Has Novell gone back to every 6 month? I hope so.

[opensuse] kaddress book problem
by russbucket 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

openSUSE 11.0 (2.6.25.16-0.1-pae), KDE 3.5.9.release 49.1, Kontact 1.2.9 kaddressbook 3.5.9 Having Addressbook problems. when I go into Kontact--->Contacts I cannot add new contact, also all previously deleted addressees show up as blank lines (name only). So it says I have 548 contacts. When I highlight the blank lines the old user name appears, if I highlight and delete all blank lines it then says I have 199 contacts. If I try to file--->save it gives me the following error (also get this on exit of Contact): Unable to get access for saving the address book Resource When I reboot all 548 addresses are back. Does anyone know where this address book is stored? ~/.kde/share/kabc has Vcards, 20 of them all the same. Can I delete any of them. I checked permissions on Kab, Kabc, Kaddressbook against my other 11.0 system, 11.0, KDE 4.12 and they are the same. Did not find any recent bugs like this on Bugzilla.
