[opensuse] kde4 konqueror will not connect via proxy
by lynn 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

The proxy works for firefox but not for konq in 11.0 kde 4. I've tested the proxy via yast and it works fine. Also, other browsers recognise it. Bug? I'm using squid on a 10.3 server with 11.0 and KDE4 Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I performed a fresh install of opensuse 10.3 and proceeded to go to http://software.opensuse.org/search for the codecs I selected and executed Codec-Audio-Video.ymp. During the installation process I received a dialogbox with the following major message and assoc options. No valid solution found with just resolvables of best architecture and speex cannot be installed due to missing dependencies. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-with-codec-installer-in-opensuse-tp14946930p1… Sent from the openSUSE community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SUSE SWAMP
by Ciro Iriarte 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Anybody tried it?, is it actually being used on the Opensuse project?. Looks interesting.... Maybe it can replace workflow apps on Domino/Notes... Webpage: http://swamp.sourceforge.net/ SWAMP - The Workflow Platform SWAMP is a workflow processing platform. Workflows are processes with many people involved in many working steps. In a real world scenario these workflows are highly dynamic, but still many systems try to hardcode the business logic. That leads to raising efforts to adapt the system. Here is where SWAMP steps in: The workflow is designed in a XML based meta language in one file which is read by SWAMP. Workflows can be built from different workflow 'patterns' like simple actions, decisions, selections, loops, but also custom code and external events if required. SWAMP builds a HTML GUI from the workflow definition file that guides different users through the whole process, sends notifications if required, assembles overview pages over all running processes and much more. A SOAP interface can be used to integrate external systems into the workflow. These are SWAMPs main Features: * Support of many different workflow patterns * Flexibility in workflow design: A workflow can be specified in a single XML file * Workflow evolution: Workflows can be developed while in operation (versioning) * Ease of use: clear and straightforward XML based workflow definition language, no coding skills needed * Workflows can attach data and files * Automatic web-GUI generation for handling individual tasks and administrating workflows * Running on Linux + Windows with OS-independant tools: Java, Tomcat, MySQL * MySQL + LDAP authentication possible * User and Role management, workflows/tasks can be restricted * Mail notification system included * Unlimited amount of different workflow-types on one server * Scheduler to control time-critical workflow paths * SOAP interface allows interaction with external systems * Openness: Custom code allows unlimited functionality, event- and data gateways * Customizeable overview lists with filters -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] set time and date in 9.3
by Doug McGarrett 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

It's been several years since I saw this problem and I forget how to fix it. The --help command is confusing to me. The problem: the computer is approximately 8 months slow--it thinks it's last March. Interestingly, the time is correct. If I need to be in SU mode, please advise. TIA-- doug Blessed are the peacemakers ... for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.

[opensuse] PDF File conversion
by Mark Misulich 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

Hi, a couple of months ago I wrote about the large file sizes that I was getting when I converted a word .doc file to OO odt file, with the intention of later converting it to pdf. They were in the size of megabites. This is a bit of an ongoing saga for me, as this time I made up the newsletter for the organization using Open Office from the start, and then attempted to convert the odt file to pdf in linux. I ended up having to go back to windows in order to get the file sizes to a manageable size, the linux files were too large. Here is a rundown of what I did. 1. I made up the newsletter using Open Office. The final file size was 198kb. Not too bad, I thought that it was going to work out as I expected the file to be smaller yet when I converted that to a pdf file. 2. I converted the odt file to pdf. The resultant pdf file was 758.8kb. I am shooting for around 200kb, but will send a file up to 300kb. Any larger and it takes too long for the dialup users to download it. 3. I tried to play around with the pdf conversion process by reducing picture quality, and/or reducing the quality of the total pdf document. I produced two other pdf's this way, and believe it or not when I reduced the quality of the document to 50% it actually produced a larger file on my first attempt. That file was 789kb. The second attempt (30% quality) was 750 kb. I decided to save the newsletter odt file in doc format to see how large it would be, before I quit linux for Windows. It came out to 270kb. I was hoping to open it in word in winxp, and then convert it to pdf. But the formatting was so messed up it was easier to start over fresh in Word. But then, they tell me it isn't going to work right when try to save it as a doc file in open office. The new word file displaying the same information (plus an extra couple of pages of text that I forgot on the copy that I produced in OO) as the newsletter produced in odt came out to 220kb. 4. Those linux pdf files were too large to use, so I went back to WinXP and made up the file in Word (220kb). I then converted that to pdf, and got a file size of 270kb. That is useable, and I don't know of any way to make it smaller in Windows unless I start removing some pictures from the newsletter. As it stands now, I think that I will have to stick with windows for this task unless someone has a brainstorm and thinks of a way to make these linux pdf files smaller.

[opensuse] Window decorations in openSUSE 11.0 Compiz/KDE3.5.9
by Jay C Vollmer 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

Greetings. I've just installed openSUSE 11.0 from the KDE4 Live CD on my ThinkPad T61p. I'm delighted to see that suspend to RAM now works as well as the ipw3945, neither of which worked right in 10.3. What isn't working for me in openSUSE 11.0 is the window-decoration when I use Compiz with KDE3. The title-bars of non-active windows completely disappear. Can anyone suggest a solution so my inactive titlebars don't disappear? -- JAY VOLLMER TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK IGNORE FULLWISE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.0 and vmware modules
by Raúl Moratalla Guillén 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Hi, I installed openSUSE 11.0 with all the development tools. Also, I installed Vmware Workstation 6.0.4 that worked fine on openSUSE 10.3 but when I run vmware-config.pl and compile vmware modules for my kernel I get the following message: Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.3.1", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3". This configuration is not recommended and VMware Workstation may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3" anyway? [no] I looked at the repositories and there is no version 4.3.1 of gcc, so I can't compile the modules and run vmware (I get an error later). I am using kernel-default, but same happens with kernel-pae. Anynone has the same problem? How can I solve it?
