by Vahe Avedissian 29 Mar '08

Folks, I tried installing opensuse 11 A3 on virtual box and it is still sitting at the "probe hard disk controllers" set for several hours now, I'll probably kill it before the end of the day... Anyone else see this problem? Vahe ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.

[opensuse] /bin/rm: Argument list too long
by Istvan Gabor 29 Mar '08

29 Mar '08

Hello: I've just realized that my .thumbnails folder occupies 3.3 Gbyte space. I wanted to empty it by: rm .thumbnails/large/* but got the error message: bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long The file number in the folder is ~ 60 000. Why rm is not working? Is this a bug? How can I delete these files w/o removing the folder itself? Thanks, IG ps: The system is default openSUSE 10.3 with default kde 3.5.7 ui: Te már megnézted, hogy diszlexiásak-e a gyerekeid?

[opensuse] How much difference does the right amount of thermal grease make? -- A LOT!
by David C. Rankin 29 Mar '08

29 Mar '08

Listmates, I thought I would pass on the results of a (non-official) scientific test concerning the huge difference in cpu temperature just a small difference in the amount of thermal grease can make. The results below are on an AMD thoroughbred 2400+ using Manhattan silver grease. Test #1 (dab of grease on processor core with syringe, pencil eraser size, roughly 3mm high -- result - way too much) w83697hf-isa-0290 temp2: +62.5°C (high = +120°C, hyst = +115°C) sensor = transistor Test #2 (minimal amount of grease brushed on with Q-tip, very thin layer, much less than 1mm thick) w83697hf-isa-0290 temp2: +51.0°C (high = +120°C, hyst = +115°C) sensor = transistor Word to the wise, DON'T USE TOO MUCH GREASE! -- David C.

As I have no Z-Machine game, could you try the kwest package I checked into the openSUSE Buildservice just now? Just go to http://software.opensuse.org/search and search for kwest.

[opensuse] Help for WIFI with WPA.
by Fred A. Miller 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

There have been a number of people, including me, who've been struggling with wifi using WPA, some have sites that are hidden which means KNetworkmanager won't work for them. Everything I've tried either doesn't work with WPA, can't see hidden access points, or like Yast, the hardware has to be setup for each site before you log on. Well, I just happened to try a small program that I had installed but forgot about.....till now........wpa-gui. It's installable from the openSUSE community sites. It must be run as root and won't startup from the KDE menu....use Konsole. It DOES see hidden access points, and you can add sites at will, even those not using WPA. Bring it up, scan, choose an access point, and connect. Problem solved. ;) Fred -- "Security" in Windows comes from patching a sieve. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

The style name in the drop down list box will change when you move through the document. You can also go to different parts of your document by using the Navigator (F5). Charles

[opensuse] OO doc - Missing the obvious
by Greg Freemyer 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

All, I'm trying to create my first formal doc in OO. I've inserted a TOC that in theory is updated from all the headings throughout the doc. Trouble is I apparently don't have any headings. I've tried reading the help on how to assign a paragraph style to a heading, but I don't seem to getting it. Can someone tell me how to mark an existing line of text as a "heading 1" paragraph style? And how I can tell what the paragraph style of that text is later. (ie. where is it indicated?)
