[opensuse] JFI: The improvements of the Java related informations in wiki
by Michal Vyskocil 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hi all, JFI I've created two new pages on a wiki, with informations about Java. http://en.opensuse.org/Java/Packaging/RPM_Macros is the description and a content of the RPM macros for Java packages (I know the http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Package_Conventions/RPM_Macros, there's a hyperlink to the Java/Packaging/RPM_Macros). http://en.opensuse.org/Java/Packaging/jpackage-utils contains usage and explanations of the usefull tools from jpackage-utils package. Well, currently contains the informations about the build-classpath, build-classpath-directory, build-jar-repository, but I'll improve this site asap (hopefully :-)).

[opensuse] no menus on nvidia homepage
by Istvan Gabor 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hello: The menus are not visible on the nvidia homepage, the flash covers them, I guess. Check at: http://www.nvidia.com/page/home.html The look is the same in both firefox 2.0 and opera 9.50, and even in konqueror. I am not sure if this is because of the bad linux flash plugin. Anyway, a company like nvidia should be aware of it and create their web page according to this. Snapshots attached. IG ________________________________________________________ Autót vásárolt?

[opensuse] Opensuse 11, xinerama produces white screen
by Matt Standish 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hello, I am running Opensuse 11.0 with KDE 4. While attempting to use xinerama I am greeted with a white desktop and no widgets (the panel is still at the bottom). I am using the same xorg.conf file that I used in Opensuse 10.3. Starting Suse with one monitor has no problems. The xorg.conf file separates the nvidia cards DVI ports into separate devices so I can split them between another screen. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Does kde4 leave a log file somewhere? .xsession-errors leaves no hints. Intel Xeon 1.86 Quad Core NVidia GeForce 7900 GS NVidia GeForce 7600 GT x86_64 kernel Here is my xorg.conf file with some of the files section clipped: mstandis:/home/mstandis # cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf #xconfig by mstandis Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout[all]" Screen 0 "Screen[0]" 0 0 Screen 1 "Screen[1]" RightOf "Screen[0]" Screen 2 "Screen[2]" LeftOf "Screen[0]" InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer" Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "On" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "extmod" Load "glx" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "on" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" -- Matt Standish www.mattstandish.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] vncviewer -listen on 10.3
by James Pifer 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

I'm having a vnc problem. We support remote users with vnc by putting our machines in listen mode (vncviewer -listen). An automated process through a web site has the user's pc make a connection. On windows the vnc software gives a prompt and after you click yes it pops up the window. I'm running vncviewer -listen on opensuse 10.3. I can see a connection in the xterm window. It looks something like this: Connected to RFB server, using protocol version 3.8 vncviewer: VNC server closed connection VNC connection failed Anyone know how to do this on opensuse 10.3? Be able to be in listen mode and bring up a vnc window when another pc connects?
