I didn't realize \b and \B were a part of Gnu grep. PCRE does not seem to know \<, so \b is what you would want these days. \< and \> seem archaic, there does not seem to be a \<-based pattern that could not be expressed with \b. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, In a few days, I'll be upgrading my video card from an nVidia 7300 to an nVidia 8600. Is there anything I need to do before and / or after replacing the card?

[opensuse] Well, there goes any hope for ReiserFS 4....
by John Andersen 01 May '08

01 May '08

OAKLAND, California -- Jurors found Linux programmer Hans Reiser guilty of first degree murder on Monday, concluding he killed his estranged wife in 2006. The verdict followed a nearly six-month trial and nearly three days of deliberation The 44-year-old developer of the ReiserFS filesystem, sat quietly as a clerk for Alameda County Superior Court Judge Larry Goodman read the verdict. Reiser faces a mandatory sentence of 25 years to life in prison. Wearing the same dark coat he's worn for months, the defendant was immediately removed from the courtroom by one of four bailiffs watching over the courtroom. He asked out loud if he could speak with his attorney. http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/04/reiser-guilty-o.html -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Can not update/remove Firefox
by Valentin Sawadski 01 May '08

01 May '08

Hello everybody, I wonder if someone would be so kind to help me with my problem. Somewhile ago I tried to update Firefox which did not work because of some MIME-Error that Brasero Caused[1]. However I could fix that and was also able to update Firefox. But then at somepoint I had two versions of firefox installed (at least YaST said so) which seemed strange to me but I as it kept working I didn't care much about it. However, I tried now to update Firefox to 2.0.0.14 and everything got completely out of hand. The first update resulted in some kind of broken installation (e.g. I could not bookmark new sites, etc.) so I tried to completely remove both installations of firefox and make a clean install. One of the two installations could be removed, the other is displaying an error message[2] when trying to remove it. It seems that firefox is working right now, however I would still like to fix this issue. Has anybody any clue on how to fix this?

[opensuse] cups printing pain on 10.3
by Michael Fischer 01 May '08

01 May '08

After years of effortless printer setups on 10.1 and earlier, I've stumbled. The CUPS web-based admin works wonderfully, but when I try to print from any app, I seem to get stuck in a way I've never seen before. Google shows others appearently having similar issues, but no solutions could I find. Printer is a Brother HL-2060 When trying to print from vim, after a few seconds of 'sending to printer', the message changes to 'E365: Failed to print PostScript file'. Firefox just thinks there is a "Default/PostScript" printer, not finding the real one, and of course, laboriously prints nothing... OpenOffice seems similarly clueless about where to find the printer. Never had these problems in 10.1 or earlier, and I haven't any idea what to do about them. Trying to check the printer in kprinter: after un-confusing kprinter that the CUPS server is on localhost, and not the IP of the printer, kprinter does a perfectly good job of printing a test page. Some potentially useful information: $ lpr test_printer.txt lpr: Error - scheduler not responding! $ lpstat -p -d lpstat: server-error-operation-not-supported no system default destination lpoptions -p Brother_HL-2070N_series -l lpoptions: Unable to get PPD file for Brother_HL-2070N_series: client-error-not-found (the above is odd, considering both cups and kprinter can print a test page just fine...) $ cat /etc/printcap # This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the # /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file # will be lost.

[opensuse] V2P vmware -->> physical
by Peter Van Lone 01 May '08

01 May '08

Anyone ever tried moving an installation from a virtual environment to physical hardware? I have successfully V2P'd windows with reasonable success -- but I'm not sure how much of the "new hardware detect" on linux will happen automagically, or if there is a way to force it to happen, or even if the install would boot after the image is layed down. Is there a recipe around somewhere that I could follow? Peter -- "What are you doing?"
