Hello List; I'm still using OpenSuSE 10.3. Would like to get involved in some of the BOINC projects. Doesn't seem to be much info out there for SuSE users. Any RPMs available? Thanks for the help. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Postfix warning: request to update table btree:/etc/postfix/smtp_scache in non-postfix directory /etc/postfix

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm getting this warning in my warn log file since I upgraded to opensuse 11.0: Oct 7 13:37:45 nimrodel postfix/tlsmgr[17967]: warning: request to update table btree:/etc/postfix/smtp_scache in non-postfix directory /etc/postfix Oct 7 13:37:45 nimrodel postfix/tlsmgr[17967]: warning: redirecting the request to postfix-owned data_directory /var/lib/postfix Googling, I found that this seems to be related to some incompatibilities of postfix 2.5: <http://postfix.energybeam.com/source/official/postfix-2.5.0.RELEASE_NOTES> It seems I need to set: data_directory = /var/lib/postfix which was done, and have that directory owned by postfix, which it is. I'm still getting those warnings.

Hi all, I just installed 11.0 today. Now on some video sites FF can not play the video, it wants "Windows Media Player" but I've not found a Linux plugin for this. What can I do? BTW I was able to play these videos under 10.1 with SeaMonkey.

[opensuse] zypper cli and yast frontend
by Sunny 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hi, is there a difference in the functionality of: zypper up -t package -t patch and using software management module in Yast/Packages/All packages/update if newer version is available? For what I see, they behave differently. What is the correct CLI zypper command to get the same behavior?

What might be interested though are sites like http://www.mibbit.com, which serves quiet much what you're looking for.

[opensuse] A custom DVD possible?
by v.s.u 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

I use openSuSE, and like GNOME, Many packages in the official released DVD I dunnt need(Like KDE3.5 AND KDE 4, they r too big for the small DVD), and I have to add some special Drivers or software(some r in the official repo and some not). Burn a custom DVD is possible (Not easy for a beginner like me). But can it be a choice as official service ? Or can it be reached with jigdo or someth. else ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Is there a way to convert a technical presentation from shockwave flash to PDF? Originally the presentation was created in PowerPoint, then someone created a shockwave flash file adding also sound (presenter comments). I need to print these slides for further reference. thanks -- Bogdan Cristea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] suse 11: failure of libgcc42-4.2.1_20070724-17 ?
by Julien Michielsen 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

For quite some time I ran suse 11 without problems, but since a few days I can't run X any more. So I went back to 10.3, which runs all right. When trying to boot 11.0 I'll get a small console in X, without the standard KDE desk page. Trying to start KDE with the command startkde I will get kdostartupconfig: /home/julien/google-earth/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6) /opt/kde3/bin/ksplashx: /home/julien/google-earth/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6) kde-config: /home/julien/google-earth/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6) startkde: Starting up... /opt/kde3/bin/kdeinit: /home/julien/google-earth/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6) startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation. Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory I searched the web with "libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found" and this gave references to libgcc, so I assume this is the culprit. What to do in this case? Could I up- Or downgrade to a better libgcc? There must be a better solution than going back to Suse 10.3 level . . .
