[opensuse] OO 3.0 Bugs, do we report them to bugzilla.novell or to openoffice?
by David C. Rankin 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

Listmates, In openOffice 3.0 from (stable) for 11.0, there is a bug in writer in the way it handles table row select. (attempting to select row on page 1, selects top row on page 2). Before drawing the ire of those quick to add negative comments, I would like to confirm whether this should be reported on the openSuSE bugzilla or the openOffice bugzilla. Thanks. -- David C.

[opensuse] Batch queue or spooler?
by Robert E A Harvey 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

>From time to time I want to convert a number of .wav files to .mp3. At the moment the script that creates the .wav calls lame immediately the file is written. Snag is I end up with a lot of simultanious instances of lame running and it is quite processor intensive. In fact, it brings my little netbook to a screaching and sometimes fatal halt. I'm thinking that what I need is a spooler that will react to new .wav files by converting them, so that only one or two instances of lame run at any one time. The idea would be to be transparent, so that if I reboot the machine while conversion is going on it will be restarted at start up. I don't mind if it starts from the beginning of the current .wav, there is no need to resume where it left off. I have thought of three ideas: use the at queue; use anacron; or write a simple daemon spooling script with a foreach loop, lots of sleep before looping and a nice command to run lame. Or am I missing something? is there some supertool already written which will encapsulate it all for me? some spooling service I have not come across? I liked the old VMS batch command where you could have as many jobs running at the end of a queue as you liked, and they would automatically re-start if the machine was restarted. SOmething like that would be cool. TIA Bob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SuSE 7.3/ppc install fail?
by Larry Stotler 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

Yes, I know it's old, but I'm trying to install SuSE 7.3/PPC on my old Wallstreet powerbook, and everytime I try, YaST fails. I looked and only thing I found was a message that the YaST in the install was broken and a newer version was needed. I downloaded the whole repository and can't get the installer to start. I get the following message: yast2 return code is 32512 (errno = 2) If anyone can remember, please let me know.

[opensuse] KDE Threading, was something else...

Kmail has in many releases, (perhaps also in KDE4) an option under the Folder main menu check boxes for Thread messages and Thread messages also by Subject. The latter was designed to fix broken threading caused by non-compliant emailers (mostly Microsoft) which did not return References headers on replys. That caused thread splitting. There are just enough people reading this list with broken emailers to split any thread to which they reply. -- ----------JSA--------- Someone stole my tag line, so now I have this rental. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Mail Sending Error
by Mark Misulich 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

Hi, I am looking for a little education via this email. I have found when I go on trips that I often can't send email, and once I have a problem I can't send email again until I get back home and send email from there. I seem to be able to send email on trips until it hits a snag, usually in certain countries, then it won't work in countries where it otherwise would to send email. I am using Thunderbird on OSuse 10.3, but I tried Vista with windows mail and thunderbird and get the same results. When it fails, I get a message like this: An error occurred sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: SBL-XBL restriction: See http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=216.123.124.120. So I checked and found this instruction: Outbound Email Policy of The Spamhaus Project for this IP range: This IP range has been identified by Spamhaus as not meeting our policy for IPs which should deliver 'direct-to-mx' mail to PBL users. Important: If you are using any normal email software such as Outlook, Entourage, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and you are being blocked by this Spamhaus PBL listing when you try to send email, the reason is simply that you need to turn on "SMTP Authentication" in your email software settings (Tools : Accounts : Properties : Outgoing Mail Server : check "My server requires authentication"). If you do not know how to do this, ask your Internet Service Provider for help with "SMTP Authentication". I checked my settings per this instruction, and found that they were already correct: SMTP authentication >From MozillaZine Knowledge Base If your ISP or e-mail service provider requires SMTP authentication for outgoing mail, you will need to use the "Use name and password" option for that SMTP server. Note: SMTP authentication has nothing to do with using a secure connection or any preferences in your POP or IMAP settings. To set up Thunderbird (or SeaMonkey) to use authentication with your SMTP server: * Go to "Tools -> Account Settings -> Outgoing Server (SMTP)". (If using SeaMonkey: go to "Edit -> Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings -> Outgoing Server (SMTP)".) * Select the server and press the Edit... button. * Check the "Use name and password" option. * Add your username. Your username might be your full e-mail address (e.g., "johndoe(a)example.com") or only the part before the "@" ("johndoe"), depending on your service provider; check with them which is correct. * Click "OK". Thunderbird will ask you for your password the first time you send email and you can optionally save it at that time. Even though the setting seems to be correct, it doesn't work. Would someone have an idea what is wrong? Thanks, Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Fetching updates once for two boxes
by j debert 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have two SuSE boxes both running OpenSuSE 11.0. I run two separate updates and download almost all updates twice. Because of limits imposed by ISP's, I am concerned that the typically huge updates will exceed the limits. This month I have had over 12Gb total for both boxes. How can I fetch all the updates required for both boxes once without having to become a repository and download everything--which would far exceed isp's limits. This would probably be some sort of proxy agent that can read the installed database for each box then fetch each package once and only once for both boxes. Is there yet a utility to do that? == jd -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFJCmbmhpL3F+HeDrIRAqXsAJ94ybcGquwTAYTZCCrWN9BCCN68yACdEkRJ rKd56KAkJuXto75TSWHy1dc= =rAl8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Need help in configuring audio components.
by Anuj Gopal Kulkarni 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

Hi All ! I have been trying to troubleshoot this issue; every time I feel I am getting closer but left nowhere. I have a SoundBlaster 5.1 soundcard and multimedia. The OpenSUSE 11.0 recognises the h/w and loads drivers does everything fine for a few minutes. Alsamixer is working fine. PulseAudio manager is going to mode :Connection Refused a few minutes after startup. I have tried removing Pulse and tried to work around through the alsamixer. Bad luck :(. Reformatting and re-installing the OS did help to a great extent but am still short of getting to play audio. I am a newbie to Linux, I have installed it and using it just from last two weeks.
