[opensuse] Is an update to KDE 3.5.10 OK?

by David C. Rankin

Listmates, Before I regret it, has anybody had any bad experience with an update to KDE 3.5.10. I seem to recall a week or so ago, there was a complaint about 3.5.10, but there was very little follow up. That leads me to believe all is safe. But getting older, I have learned to look before I leap. So anybody have any information on the update? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[opensuse] how does bugzilla work?

by primm

Bug 445320 concerns the intel 845 (and I think many other) Intel graphics. It only allows framebuffer graphics for these chipsets. It was found in 11.1 rc1. I've sent in some extra info and voted for the bug. I'm not sure how bugzilla works but an upgrade to 11.1 would render my 20 node lan useless due to screen flicker. My main concern is when are rc bugs fixed? Is it likely to be fixed before release this week? If not what is the usual timescale? Would it be sensible up upgrade just one box to 11.1, get Yast to setup the install server and wait until the bug gets fixed? cheers, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Any way to Save .bash_history command to file when HISTSIZE= is reached?

by David C. Rankin

Listmates, Is there any way to Save .bash_history command to file when HISTSIZE= limit is reached? I would love to be able to hack whatever command removes entries from the .bash_history file and have it append that cli to something like history.sav so I could save old command lines. The problem is that I don't know where this code lives or whether it is even accessible to me. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks. -- David C.

[opensuse] evolution connector to openoffice

by Teruel de Campo MD

ref: opensuse 11.1 kde 4.1.3 Openoffice does not have the connector to be able to use the evolution address database. It has for kmail iirc similar situation happens with 11 and then when I received the box version it was there. I ordered the box version last week so hope evolution connector is there. Does any of you have it? Just openoffice/File/wizards/Address data source and it should be there. Thanks for your help. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] importing/moving openoffice user settings

by Istvan Gabor

Hello: I would like to use my openoffice 2.x user settings in openoffice 3. I installed openoffice latest stable version OpenOffice_org-3.0.0.3.6-1.1 on openSUSE 10.3. This created a .ooo3 for user settings. Previous openoffice stored the preferences in .ooo-2.0. I am not sure that I can simply copy/rename .ooo-2.0 to ooo3. What is the correct way to import previous user defined settings (templates, toolbars etc)into openoffice 3?

[opensuse] Problem with popping in audio and stuttering graphics...

by Clayton

I'm trying to trace down a problem I'm having with openSUSE 11.1. The symptoms are basically popping audio (periodic) and graphics slowdows. The audio popping is most noticeable in games where there is a fairly high demand on system resources. The audio is... crackly at times.. it cycles from perfect to poor. The audio problem also happens, for example, what I browse to a webpage that has embedded audio, or a flash video (eg YouTube). Then the audio pops (or rips) once very loudly a bit like "dragging the needle" sounded like on old records. It's very fast, very loud, and then audio plays normally. The graphics "slowdowns" are basically a huge drop in fps (pick any native Linux OpenGL game or any game playing in Cedega/Wine or whatever, it happens consistently in all OpenGL games) from, for example 70fps, down to 3 or 4 fps, and then after a few seconds, back up to 70 again. The OS is an openSUSE 11.1, default install plus the multimedia extras from the community repos ======== Kernel is 2.6.27.7-9-pae 32 bit ======== Hardware - AMD Athlon X2 6400+ - 4 GB RAM - nvidia 260GTX video card with nVidia binary drivers 180.18 Beta - Soundblaster 5.1 ======== One possibility suggested to me was that it might be a kernel thing... at least for the graphics, and suggested I try a 2.6.24 kernel... I haven't taken this step yet. I hate messing with kernels... unless it's a last resort. Overall, I would almost suspect that there is something running in the background that is periodically doing something... some task that is killing system performance. The usual suspects are removed... Beagle and Strigi are not installed, and Nepomuk is not running. I've checked all running services and shut down all but the essentials but it has had no effect. Anyone here have any ideas or suggestions... what can I do to trace this down?

[opensuse] No backup configuration in YaST 11.1

by JosipBroz

Hi there. IIRC there was a default configuration in YaST 11.0 > System > System backup. You just had to customize it and you had a (somewhat) working backup strategy in place (with cron, anacron, and everything else pre-configured). Now, when you go to YaST > System > System backup, there's just this blank window staring at you. Am I supposed to be able to create a backup config from scratch? I'm not able to do that. Even if I try, it never runs (or it tries to backup 300 GB of data to a 2 GB partition). Any suggestions? Or, better: any pre-configured backup schemes to dig out or download from anywhere? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] New 3 Column Web Template Available - Validated HTML 4.01, CSS

That sounds a little backward. > > > /Per > Per -- No way, I'm backwards, but not that backwards;-) Hey take a look are Version 2 of the little template. It is growing up. It now has some pretty slick dynamic vertical pop-out menus (pure css) as well as updated formatting for the right column, etc. It has taken a week or so of spare time (note the absence of list posts), but I'm happy with the results so far. With the content separated from the header, footer and menu, adding content is made a lot easier. (but it will still probably take me a year to get the rest done) I don't know if you have used quanta lately, but the 3.5 version is awesome. I love it! For pure editing it doesn't matter to me whether I use vi, kwrite, kate, or quanta, but for the sheer convenience the 'project' features of quanta provide, I haven't found anything to beat it yet. I have my working copy of my site on my laptop. In quanta, a simple right-click and choose "Upload Project.." and all edits are automatically ftp'd to my actual web server. Piece of cake. Plus since quanta is basically kate on web steriods, all my prior templates, etc. are accessible as well.

[opensuse] 9.1 aka 10.1 aka 11.1 aka lousy Christmas present?

by Felix Miata

On 2008/12/24 07:22 (GMT-0500) James Knott composed: > If things don't improve, 11.1 may be the one distro I skip. 9.1 was first 2.6 release, hardly a good release. 10.1 had a butchered package management system, definitely not a good release. 11.1? I'm not sure I've seen a clearly major guffaw, but there sure seems to be a lot of minors and near majors: KDE4 still isn't anywhere near as useful as KDE3. Wireless problems. Partitioner usability problems. RAID problems. Chopped off non-resizable columns in YaST2. Failure to boot. DVD access problems. Horrible Intel video performance. What did I miss? Novell should have stuck to an 8-9 month release plan and let 11.1 out Feb or March. I'm thinking my 10.2 replacement box may need to get 11.0 instead of 11.1. I need to decide soon. 11.0 could get done today instead of waiting for the retail 11.1 to arrive. -- "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain." Psalm 127:1 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
