[opensuse] [kde4] KNetworkManager does not connect to eth0
by Günter Dannoritzer 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Hi, I am running openSUSE 11.0 x86_64 with KDE4 from the Factory repository. So I have KDE4:Factory:Desktop and KDE4:Factory-Extra-Apps repository added to my repository list. Under Yast I have the network set to use a network manager instead of the traditional ifup method. Every time I log in to the computer and KDE comes up, the KNetworkManager does not connect to the default network settings. I have two IP addresses configured in the connection list, but only one is checked with "Autoconnect". I did already move the ~/.kde4 folder and restarted KDE from fresh, but that did not make a change. Even after setting up the connection again it did not automatically connect to the network. Anyone can give me some help how to fix this? Thanks for your help.

[opensuse] Blue Countdown Available
by David C. Rankin 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

List, If anyone would rather a blue countdown to 11.1 instead of green, I have one with the blue_curl backdrop on my site that you are free to scavenge. The countdown is: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/images/countdown.php The php script and the png image background are: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/images/countdown.php http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/images/counter-medium-blu… It was sort of fun seeing how they work ;-) Just make sure you are gd installed if you want to put it up on your site, or just link to the first URL directly. It uses DejaVu as the font and that's a standard opensuse installed font, so you shouldn't have any problems. -- David C.

[opensuse] Clear Recent Documents -- doesn't clear the list of documents -- REPOST
by Basil Chupin 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Using 32-bit oS 11.0 with KDE4x (but same thing is occurring with oS11.1Beta5). When I try to Clear Recent Documents (Application Launcher==>Recently Used tab) the list of documents "pretends" to be cleared but at the next restart/boot of the system all the "cleared" documents reappear in the list. As root, I've cleared out the /tmp folder thinking that this is where such a list of recently used documents resides but, No, the list still keeps reappearing. In /home there is also a (hidden) file called '.recently-used' but it doesn't play a role in this problem. Anybody know how to make sure that a list of recently used documents remains deleted? Or better still, how to stop used documents being recorded in this Recently Used tab? (Windows has this ability not to have documents used recorded in such a list by setting an option in the Start menu.) Ciao. -- Be nice to people on your way up - you'll see the same people on your way down. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] VMware player on OS 11.0 with BuildService kernel, anyone ?
by Philippe Andersson 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Hello to all, I'm trying to get the VMware player running on an OpenSuSE 11.0 32bit where I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.27.4 from the BuildService (brand new Dell E6500 -- the Intel chipset is not fully supported by earlier kernels). I pulled the player RPM from the VMware site, and it installed flawlessly. When I start the player, it asks for the path to the kernel headers. I installed the full kernel.org sources for 2.6.27.4 below /usr/src, but I can't make the player accept those as matching my kernel. Has anyone succeeded in doing this ? TIA Cheers. Bye. Ph.

[opensuse] bash - handling expansion of parameters on the command line?
by David C. Rankin 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Bash wizards: I have run across another quandary. I am trying to get a filespec from the command line like: ./scriptname file1* and file name expansion occurs before I can assign the filespec to a variable. I want to be able to grab the 'file1*' filespec without having to require that it be enclosed in single quotes (./scriptname 'file1*'). I'm using the filespec like: FILESPEC=$1 NEWNAME=$2 for i in $(ls ${FILESPEC}); do echo -n "moving $i --> ${NEWNAME}.${i##*.}" if mv $i ${NEWNAME}.${i##*.}; then echo ".........Success" else echo ".........Failed" fi done Can I do it, or do I have to look at handling the expanded command line in another way like an array or something? The easiest way would probably be to swap NEWNAME to $1 and then do $2 until I run out of parameters, but that would defeat my preference of the command line being ./rename what to-what. What is the best way to skin this cat? (I've also learned that the expression can be 'wash that pig' in some parts as well) Thanks. -- David C.

======= And there is even Hylafax tutorial in Indonesian :-) Based on my experience, it would be not as easy just like WinFax setup but please keep in mind that it is not as difficult just like another complicated software. Setting up wireless LAN with unknown chipset in OpenSUSE seems to be more difficult :-) I've a simple installation tutorial about hylafax. It was written on Indonesian version, http://www.vavai.com/index.php?/archives/56-Fax-Melalui-Komputer-Menggunaka… ====== Ah.. Vavai.. Thanks for the info, I'll chek it as soon as possible. Right now I still have to deal with my boss who insist using winfax.. :( how can I convince him so we can use hylafax instead.. -ARZ™- Sent from my BlackBerry®
