[opensuse] KDE Control Login manager module messes up config file
by Joop Beris 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

Hello listmates, openSUSE 11.1, KDE 4.1.3: Using the KDE Control Center, the Login Manager module, I got the KDM config file messed up: /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc. kdm_config now complains in /var/log/messages about multiple occurrences of the following keys: Languages ShowUsers Theme UseBackground UseTheme I have to go in there by hand to fix it up. It seems to me that this module shouldn't leave kdmrc in a state of mess.

[opensuse] openSUSE 11, KDE 3.5...best way to get KDE 4.1 running?
by Joop Beris 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

Hello listmates, I am happily running an installation of openSUSE 11 on this machine, with KDE 3.5. Everything works nice and I'm really satisfied with the system. However..in the future, I will probably want to move to KDE 4.1. (or .2). What is the best way to get KDE 4 running along KDE 3.5? Should I use the 1-Click Installer? Should I add repos and install it from there? If I want a stable KDE 4 desktop, with regular updates, which repos should I add? Stable? Factory? Questions, questions, questions... The main goal is to give KDE 4 a good, stable run, work with it, get the feel of it. I'll try to create a coherent report of my findings too. So in a nutshell, how do I get the best KDE 4 experience? Thanks for your suggestions! Joop

[opensuse] Image resizing?
by Jerry Houston 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

Is there a Linux utility that I can use to convert a folder of larger images to 480x234, the native size for the digital picture frame my wife bought me? It occurs to me that it probably would be more efficient if I fed it images that are its default size, so that it doesn't need to scale them down.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, As is known, the combination of having a root filesystem formatted as reiserfs will hard lock the machine as soon as Beagle runs (Bug 448007).

[opensuse] Am I the only one?
by Jerry Houston 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

Am I the only one who's happy with v11.1 and KDE4? I'm a cautious user. Here at home, we have four machines running Linux -- our server, my desktop workstation, my wife's desktop workstation, and one of my laptops. My laptop isn't an important machine. It doesn't archive emails, or run Apache. It's not an FTP server. It's just a machine that I can use to read and write emails (as I'm doing now), and browse the web. So it seemed like the perfect first choice to try the new stuff. After using 11.0 with KDE4, and updating it to 11.1 with KDE4, my experience was so generally favorable on the laptop that i likewise updated my desktop. Once I found that everything I need on that machine seemed unaffected by the update, I did the same with my wife's desktop. She loves it. It was with grave trepidation that i considered updating the server. It was working fine with v10.3 and KDE3. And that's where our email archives, shared DejaClick macros, digital images, MP3s, and ripped DVDs are. Not to mention my web site, mono projects, and our svn repositories. In fact, I did have problems with the NIS server that prevented us from logging on to the other machines as ordinary users. After a couple days of trying everything else, and double-checking everything, I finally resolved that by removing the NIS server and reinstalling it. Problem solved. In hindsight, I could have fixed it in about 10 minutes if I'd only done that to start with. So we now have all four machines running v11.1 and KDE4. Neither of us has found anything that we wanted to do with KDE3 that we can't do with KDE4. And so far, I'm lovin' it! For sure, there are going to be bugs to fix, and features to implement. The same was true of every earlier version. But I'm delighted with what we have so far, and looking forward to what's yet to come. Merry Christmas, all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Scanning suggestions to replace XSane?
by John Lange 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

I'm looking for a straight forward scanning solution for use under gnome. As far as I can tell, XSane is the only thing around (and it's horrible). I've managed to create sane command line options and assign them to icons for most of what I want to do and simple functions like; scan multi-page to PDF, scan multi-page to email are now a "one-click" solution. The problem is with flat-bed scanning which requires the user to "preview" the scan and then select an area for scanning before completing the operation. I see no alternative than to fire up the full X-Sane front end which is what I'm hoping to avoid. I know there is a more comprehensive scanning solution under KDE (which I can't recall the name of) but it also doesn't really do what I want and in any case it is way over-kill. If anyone is aware of a very simple, straight forward scanning system that provides the following 4 options: multi-page to PDF multi-page to email (PDF attachment) flatbed to PDF flatbed to email (PDF or JPG attachment) please let me know.
