[opensuse] boot installed system
by jozien＠comcast.net 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

I have a ThinkPad T60 and installed SuSE 11 DVD and I got everything working. Many years ago, I installed SuSE 7.3 and created a boot floppy and rescue disk. When you booted up, you had several choices to select, one of them was "boot installed system" and all you had to do was to enter "/dev/hd* and it would boot that hard drive. Is there anything similar available on the 11.0 DVD? How to create a boot floppy in SuSE 11.0? jozien -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] /tmp or /var/tmp

I have both /tmp and /var/tmp here. /var/tmp is much bigger than /tmp. How can make sure all temporary files end up in /var/tmp?

Thanks for that. Fixed it by commenting the UseModes line and then installing the driver using the CD that came with the monitor. Thanks a lot to everyone for helping me out on this.

I haven't worked much with mono yet, but I'm guessing that System.IO.Path is probably fully implemented, and well tested. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] New Firefox...
by Wendell Nichols 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

I upgraded to firefox 3 via the build service and generally it's ok. (I had to also upgrade thunderbird to get email links working again). However I notice that it will not navigate to links that konqueror will, for instance: www.rubbermaid.com will get a server not found. Is there some sort of bug in the blacklisted sites going on? wcn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Why am I now asked to confirm each "rm", which update did it?
by David C. Rankin 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

Listmates: For some reason unexplained, after the most recent round of updates, I am now asked to confirm each file deletion or each overwrite of a file. What setting does this and why did it change during the last round of updates? (/etc/bashrc? /etc/profile?) It also may be the result of downgrading the kernel from Jan's latest that always includes hxtools. Any help would be appreciated. Having to answer 'y' all the time is a pain... -- David C.

[opensuse] Blank screen on login (again)
by Simon Roberts 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

Hi all, A while ago I had a strange problem where my regular user account started going to a blank screen during login (under gnome). The music is still playing and the processes are still running. Other users can login to gnome desktops just fine. I was sure I asked and got an answer from this list (thanks!) but now it's happening again (just after a bunch of updates) and I can't find the thread in the archives. I've tried deleting .gnome, .gnome2, and .gnome2_private, which is what I thought I did before, but that didn't fix it. Can anyone help? Many thanks!
