[opensuse] 10.3 install - great work opensuse team!
by Joe Morris 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

Just thought I would share a bit about a recent 10.3 install on an Acer Aspire 4310. First, it came with Linpus linux (after using openSUSE and SuSE for so long, I could explain why). It may have been linux, but nothing to be compared with openSUSE. So I replaced it with 10.3. It actually found all the hardware (though the bcm43xx would not work with the wireless, had to use ndiswrapper). It was an amazing install, and update. Webcam worked straight away in Skype. I am amazed at how well the hardware was recognized and automatically configured. Even Suspend to Disk worked out of the box. I enabled 3D for the intel graphics during install, so that was a breeze as well. I can't imagine a better hardware/OS match for a laptop. Great job, openSUSE team! -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] unable to unlock screen after screensaver kicks on under kde4
by lrf.2＠juno.com 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

Hi, Running opensuse 10.3 on IBM T40 laptop with kde4 as my desktop. If the screensaver is running and has locked the screen, I am unable to log in at the 'switch user/unlock' screen and have to log in at a console window and kill krunner_lock to free up the desktop again. I see in /var/log/messages that kcheckpass has returned an authentication failure but if I run kcheckpass manually it works fine. I have attempted a google search and a search of the archives but did not uncover a solution. Does anyone here know a solution?

[opensuse] Refresh Sources Question
by Kai Ponte 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

I am now on 10.3 on three workstations (one laptop and two desktops). I've switched from SMART back to the standard YaST / OpenSUSE updater. In order to avoid the ten minute wait to open the install software screen I have disabled automatic refresh of the sources (including community sources). How do I refresh all sources at once? I see I can update each individually in the YasT > Software Repositories screen, however, you must do each individually. Is there a way to have them all update? Clicking the openSUSE updater and selecting check now doesn't seem to do it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Use entire disk, and not a partition
by Dirk Moolman 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

If you have a disk, let's say /dev/sda, and instead of creating partitions on the disk, for example /dev/sda1, you use the entire disk, format it, and allocate it to an application - will this cause any problems ? In short: the application points to and uses /dev/sda (which is mounted), instead of /dev/sda1.
