[opensuse] ODF files on SMB/CIFS share
by Manne Merak 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

I have some XLS and ODT files on a Windows AD server (CIFS share). When openning the XLS files using KIO (Konq or Krusader with smb://) OpenOffice pops up and asks for a Win domain password (which I give) and everything opens as expected. When I do the same for the ODT file I get get an OpenWith popup from KDE. If I navigate to Calc it works. When copying the file to the local drive it works as expected; so the file associations is fine. Whats going on? Manne ps. is there is way to tell OpenOffice to get my Win domain password from KDE or Kerberos or where-ever. Very annoying to have to type it in about 20 times a day. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi. I have recognized, that there has been more asking why there's no opensusupdater for kde 3.5 with 11.0. But I have not seen any reply to them. Where is the opensuseupdater ?. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Networkmanager, not very stable...
by Verner Kjærsgaard 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

HI list, I just followed the threads about Networkmanager - which in my case isn't very stable either. (SuSE10.3 Intel 3945 on DELL). Actually, it used to be quite ok, but then I upgraded Networkmanager to 0.7 something. Hmmmm.. Never mind, if I try again and again, it will finally connect. But sometimes I see TWO ticked connections on my list. Eh...anyone know what that means? The attached jpg shows such a situation. One connection is encrypted the other is not. -- -------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701

Right now, as I sit at my desk, it only shows 4 networks and doesn't even show mine. On the other hand, my N800 shows 8 networks, including mine.
