[opensuse] Resetting file assoc for folders ? (me stoopid)
by Diego Tognola 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi all, Ouch, I must have done something wrong when trying to associate an application to the *.wav filetype. What happens now is that when I click on the 'home' icon in the taskbar or on folder icons in Konqueror, the OS tries to open these folders with my audio app. Well, at least I see the icon animation for the audio application appear for a moment, then nothing happens. So, uhm, how can I reset this to the default behaviour, i.e. folders being opened with Konqueror ?

[opensuse] S-video port not enabled in SuSe 10.1
by Bruce Samhaber 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi, I have an IBM T42 with SuSe 10.1 with no output from the S-video port. This works with the Windows XP that came with the machine. The port came on automatically when Windows booted up with the S-Video cable plugged in. I have not found anywhere to turn on the port. I have looked through 1) Yast2 > Hardware configuration > Graphics Card & Monitor 2) Yast2 > Hardware configuration > TV Card ( don't actually have one) 3) BIOS settings If anyone has anyother suggestions I would appreciate it.

[opensuse] ssh from windows to opensuse
by Sergey Mkrtchyan 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi List, I'm trying to connect from windows to my computer with ssh (using Putty or ssh secure shell client). Yesterday from home it was fine (i haven't tried at home with wireless), but now from University and wireless ssh secure shell says something like "the host . . . . is unreachable" and putty just gives "connection refused". On my opensuse machine I have the ssh enabled. The windows is vista and I haven't formatted it yet ;-) Can you help?

I can't download anything at home, obviously, but I do have a Quantian dvd, which I believe is based on knoppix. I'll give that a try. I don't think it's just the IDE interface, though. When I gave the brokenmodules command, it loaded two more new modules before hanging on the pata module. it seems to me the via82cxxx hardware is broken, and the other two modules didn't depend on it, but the pata module did. Does that seem reasonable? jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Yast software
by Jamie Griffin 30 Mar '08

30 Mar '08

Hi everyone I installed the email client Mutt earlier, but it was compiled without the smtp option enabled. Is there to specify compile options in Yast before it installs programs, like Mutt? Or perhaps there's a way i can recompile the program after it's been installed to enable the options is need if they're not there? I assume the only option would be to install from source myself? If anyone could give some advice i'd be grateful. Jamie -- Public Key: 44D5FD1A 2008-03-29 [expires: 2011-03-29] Key fingerprint = 8458 5824 FEC4 16BE C982 808E F20F DBCD 44D5 FD1A

[opensuse] problem with OpenSUSE 11.0 Alpha3 dvd media
by Tamas Sarga 30 Mar '08

30 Mar '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'd like to try OpenSUSE 11.0. I downloaded http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0-Alpha3/iso/torrent/openSUSE-… md5sum of the .torrent file is correct according to http://ftp.novell.hu/pub/mirrors/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse/distribution/11.… I burned it to a dvd+rw with k3b with verify option. It said the burning was OK! When I booted from the disc, I chose verify media, and it said the media was broken. I tried to burn to another disc, the result was the same. Is it a known bug? Should I continue the installation anyway? TIA.
