[opensuse] Repos - Rant
by Ben Kevan 13 Oct '08

If Novell wants to get serious with their whole openSUSE push, they better damn have a much more reliable repository. I've had 3 people today ask me "why can't I get my updates that are flashing in the corner, it just times out" All because repos.opensuse.org is down.

[opensuse] proxy question
by James Hatridge 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

HI all, I'm in Germany and there is a website in the UK that I want to d/l some videos from, but the site blocks all non-UK addresses. I think that I can get around this by using a proxy, but I'm not sure. Is there a way to have FireFox use a proxy for this website only? If so, how. OR can someone suggest a better way to d/l these videos?

It actually only decompresses the bundle installer and then starts it, so one actually needs to go through the whole step. Install it from CLI using rpm -ihv <rpmname> and follow the onscreen instructions. Then everything works fine.

Just a question. How can you keep your own configuration with a fresh install ?? I mean, you would have suit it for your needs configuring programs, system, installing new packages. How can I think I have to restart everything every 4/5 months when a new release come out ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Skype/Video problems
by Jesse Shaver 12 Oct '08

12 Oct '08

I am using Skype with video, when I test the webcam in the configuration window all I see is a blue screen. I have the video set to auto start on conversation start, when I call someone, they can see me, but if they share there webcam with me, it shows up as being blue. If They call me, however we can both see each other. I think this may be connected to the fact that in order to view my own webcam with luvcview I must specify "disable SDL hardware accel" with the "-w" switch, or it displays as all blue also. Also, Video playback in VLC does not work with the "default" option, but it does if I use the "X11" output. I am on a Thinkpad X61 with Suse 11.0 64bit, and integrated Intel graphics. Thanks in advance for your help, -Jesse -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] zypper problem
by Mike 12 Oct '08

12 Oct '08

I've run into a problem with zypper on 10.3 and can't figure out how to fix it. When I run software update, or just zypper refresh, I get an error that tells me that the database is either corrupt or missing. It only happens on a couple of the repositories. I tried refresh, and it just told me the error. I don't see how to repair it, or rebuild it.
