[opensuse] Printing 4 pages to 1 sheet with horizontally reversed.
by Patrik Hasibuan 29 Apr '08

29 Apr '08

Dear my friends.... I want to print any documentation but really space the papers. That's why I like printing 4 pages to 1 sheet on both side of the paper (front and behind) so 1 sheet of paper contents 8 pages. I printed the odd pages (page 1, 3, 5, 7, and so on) on the front side of the papers and I printed the even pages (page 2, 4, 6, 8 and so on) to the behind/rear side of the papers. But the problem comes as... - the page 1 (for instance) does not has the page 2 but the page 4 on its behind-side; - the page 3 (for instance) does not has the page 4 but the page 2 on its behind-side; - the page 5 (for instance) does not has the page 6 but the page 8 on its behind-side; - And the page 7 (for instance) does not has the page 8 but the page 6 on its behind-side. Whereas what I want is: - the page 1 (for instance) has the page 2 on its behind-side; - the page 3 (for instance) has the page 4 on its behind-side; - the page 5 (for instance) has the page 6 on its behind-side; - And the page 7 (for instance) has the page 8 on its behind-side. If I compare to windows printing menu, they have option of "printing 4 pages to 1 sheet with reversed the pages horizontally). So 2-->4-->6-->8 can be 4-->2-->8-->6 . I print the documents with cups and I mine is mandriva2007. Any suggestions how to print with "horizontally reversed"? Thank you very much in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

The interesting thing is I first tried running with 8GB ram (8x 1GB) and memtest was running tests at addresses ABOVE 8GB. With 6GB it runs at addresses above 6GB. I orignally had 4GB of ram and it always behaved correctly and everything passed. I suspect someone the 4GB limit was tripping it up. I assume this latest version will do better. My hardware is a tyan k8we (S2895) with 2 opterons and 2GB in each each cpu ram bank (for total of 4GB).

[opensuse] Beagle question
by Clayton 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

I am tinkering with Beagle again... and it is merrily indexing webpages visited and emails in KMail. How do I stop it from doing that? I cannot find an option to turn off that seems to have an effect on the email and webpage indexing.

[opensuse] Missing window title bar since upgrade
by Bob Williams 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

Since upgrading kde3 to 3.5.9-60.2 I've lost the title bar on all my windows, so I'm unable to drag them around, minimise, maximise or restore. Which package is responsible for this bit of window decoration? I notice that I have compiz installed, but I'm not trying to run any sort of 3D desktop. Do I need compiz, or could it be screwing things up? I only ask because the last time something like this happened was when I *was* playing around with 3D stuff, compiz-fusion, etc., but that was months ago. -- Bob Registered Linux User #463880 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 10.3, Kernel 2.6.22.17-0.1-default, KDE 3.5.9 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Xen: Is it Ready?
by Donald D Henson 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

I have a situation where I need Windows & Linus running at the same time. I currently have Linux (server & workstation) running on my server hardware and Windows (workstation) running on a network connected laptop, a satisfactory workaround but hardly a long term solution. I'm thinking of using XEN to run both Linux & Windows on my server hardware. My problem is that no one I trust has actually used XEN in the above configuration. However, I've found that this list gives consistently good info if you ignore the obvious newbies and the occasional flame war. so... Has anyone used Xen running Linux & Windows on the same hardware? If so, is it ready for a production environment? Did you notice any performance degradation? Are there any gotchas that can be avoided? I'd sincerely appreciate answers to my questions and any comments you may have.

[opensuse] Linux can't read files on my USB external 500GB FAT32 HD
by J W 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

I am brand new to Linux. I just installed it as dual boot with Windows XP. I have two internal hard drives - one for Linux and one for Windows. I also have a USB external hard drive that is 500GB with FAT32. It doesn't seem to have mounted properly. It doesn't show up as a drive. However, after browsing around I found that there is a /Windows/C and a /Windows/D. The C is my Windows drive (NTFS) and I can see the files there just fine. I think the D is my external HD. However, it doesn't show any of the files or directories that I have there. I did poke around a little on the internet trying to find help. I learned about fstab. Here is what it says about it: /dev/disk/by-id/usb-WD_5000AAKS_Externa_57442D574D41505731333632343634-0:0-part1 /windows/D vfat users,gid=3Dusers,umask=3D0002,utf8=3Dtrue 0 0 How do I get Linux to read/write to my external HD?
