[opensuse] Kmail delete
by John 23 May '08

23 May '08

I have fairly efficient spam filtering - needed with an email address like mine. I presort spam into different categories but always scan it manually. On previous suse releases if I select and then delete a block of mails using shift delete they would be deleted. Now only the ones I have read are deleted. The unread ones are moved to trash. Not so good for me because some mail goes there automatically. I scan that too. How can I get the normal kmail shift delete back?

[opensuse]v11.0 Beta3 issues
by Larry Stotler 23 May '08

23 May '08

Ok, I found the following issues when installing Beta 3 on my Thinkpad 390X: 1. No graphical installation at all. I selected 1024x768 and got a text install. 2. No installation patterns available(known bug I believe) 3. System complained that boot loader installation failed. When I tried to correct it, and then had to hit the back button, it finished and rebooted. Which leads to the next: 4. System rebooted instead of restarting the system without a reboot as it had done in Beta2. 5. Automatic config worked fine. Detected and setup sound and X properly. 6. Network Manager still doesn't show any wireless connections when using my atheros based cards. I also tried using my Linksys WPC54G v3 card and still no available connections. I know there are at least 6 connections available from another laptop sitting beside my thinkpad. Any suggestions?

[opensuse] Tabbed browsing in Konqueror
by Bob Williams 23 May '08

23 May '08

My preference is to have one instance of Konqueror in web browser mode, and open all links in tabs in that one instance. I'm not talking about Konqueror in file manager mode, here. I thought the following would achieve what I want, but it doesn't :( Settings: Configure Konqueror: Web Behaviour: Tabbed Browsing: Select: 'Open links in new tab instead of in new window' Advanced Options: Select: 'Open as tab in existing Konqueror when URL is called externally' When I click on a link in Kmail or Knode a new instance of Konqueror gets fired up with a single tab containing the URL I clicked on, even if there is another instance of Konqueror already running in web browsing mode. What am I missing? -- 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 3.5.7 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] kdebase3-3.5.7-87.5 Update on x86-64 -- Normal user Login Freeze, root - OK
by David C. Rankin 23 May '08

23 May '08

Listmates, I updated to the latest KDE last night from openSuSE BuildService on a x86-64 machine via yast and seem to have picked up a bug doing it. Graphics card is a ATI Radeon 9600 utilizing the 8.471-1 fglrx driver build. All worked fine before the update. After the update, normal users can no longer start KDE, but root can start KDE just fine. For a normal user, KDE startup first appears to be working fine. The splash screen appears with the little rotating circle and there is hard drive activity. However, KDE startup freezes when the first splash screen (with the animation) is replaced by the next green splash screen (no animation). This isn't a hard lockup because the mouse pointer still responds and ctrl+alt+backspace returns you to the kdm login. All other desktops continue to work fine (xfce4, etc..) so this appears to be a pure KDE issue. The Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old show the following differences: 14c14 < (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sat May 10 09:43:20 2008 --- > (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sat May 10 09:39:28 2008 934,936c934,936 < (II) fglrx(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0x2f8000 < (II) fglrx(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0x2f8000 to 0x2b22f5abf000 < (II) fglrx(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0x2f9000 --- > (II) fglrx(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0x2d2000 > (II) fglrx(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0x2d2000 to 0x2ad42832f000 > (II) fglrx(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0x2d3000 950c950 < (II) fglrx(0): [drm] register handle = 0x002fa000 --- > (II) fglrx(0): [drm] register handle = 0x002d4000 1133,1134c1133,1137 < SetClientVersion: 0 9 < SetGrabKeysState - disabled --- > (II) 3rd Button detected: disabling emulate3Button > (II) fglrx(0): Shutdown CMMQS > (II) fglrx(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel > (II) fglrx(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0x2d2000 at 0x2ad42832f000 > FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.

[opensuse] Speech-to-Text
by Donald D Henson 23 May '08

Does anyone know of an Open Source application to accept continuous speech and convert it to text? I've found a couple of proprietary apps but you have to use Voice mail as an input. Any suggestions appreciated. Don Henson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] zypper problem updating libucil2

Markus, No, I hadn't tried that yet since I prefer to let zypper or Yast do it's thing as much as possible automatically and this problem version is the one zypper keeps asking for. I'll give the manual intervention a try this time to get over the hump. Thanks. //ted Markus Koßmann said the following on 05/22/2008 01:11 PM: > Am Donnerstag, 22.

[opensuse] screen annoyance
by Anders Norrbring 23 May '08

23 May '08

I'm puzzled.. I experiment a little with screen, and I'm trying to send a command to an application running in a detached window. I use something like this: screen -S testapp -X eval "stuff quit^M" If I have an ATTACHED screen session 'testapp', the command 'quit' is properly sent to it from another shell, and the application quits as expected. BUT, if the same screen is running DETACHED, nothing happens. The application is started with 'screen -S testapp -d -m theapplication' How can I get a command sent to the detached session? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
