[opensuse] openSUSE 11.0 Updater in KDE3.5 question
by Alex 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Hello SUSE folks. After a fresh and clean installation of SUSE 11.0 I don't see openSUSE Updater icon in the System Tray in KDE 3.5 environment. YaST shows that only kde4-opensuse-updater was installed in the system. Does it mean that openSUSE 11.0 has dropped openSUSE Updater for the older KDE3.5? If not, where I can find this updater for KDE3.5? I don't feel comfortable enough to jump into half cooked KDE4 yet :-) Thanks in advance, Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi Morten, Tried from konqueror URL smb://172.29.1.11/dfsroot getting the following error: An error occured while loading smb://172.29.1.11/dfsroot: The file or folder smb://172.29.1.11/dfsroot does not exist.

Hi Is the above /dfsroot a junction-point, I'm not sure cifs support that yet. It should be in 2.6.25 (kernel of opensuse11), but I'm not sure what version. Earlier we used smbmount and smbfs, but it is deprecated in opensuse. Can you connect using smbclient or konqueror url? smbclient -d[1-10] may help you debug it further. -- MortenB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Johannes Nohl 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Dear list, is anybody using this ATI/AMD card? After installing I just get a black screen, status led on my LED tells me "not connected" or "stand-by"... Does the old radeon x-Driver run? If Yes how do I install it? Any suggestions? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Wireless connection issue
by Simon Roberts 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Hi all, I travel a lot for my work, and I've noticed many times that Linux wireless networking often doesn't connect to the networks that I'm offered in hotels. I'm pretty sure (call me cynical, but...) that this is an issue with micro$oft base stations that expect a little bit of non-standard protocol. Since windoze adopts (creates?) that protocol, it all works for them, so nobody recognizes a problem. Part of the reason I believe this is that I've found that if I reboot my machine into windoze it will almost always connect successfully. (Such is the case today, this mail is being sent from firefox under windoze, yuch!) Sometimes, but not this time, I find that if I've first connected using windoze, I can then reboot back into Linux and the network connects properly (suggesting that the protocol issues are something to do with a one-time recognition of the machine's MAC address. Anyway, is this something the SuSE community knows about, and maybe has a workaround for? If not, can I do anything to provide packet traces of windows succeeding and of Linux failing to connect? I used to use ethereal but that doesn't seem to be part of the distro any more. Is there something else I should use? And either way, what would be a workable tool under windoze?

[opensuse] opensuse 11.0 cups oddity
by Vahe Avedissian 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Folks, I'm running opensuse 11.0 x64 and I have multiplr printers configured through cups. I notice when I go to cups to check settings of my printers, the FIRST printer make/model are NOT displayed. Instead cups says model is unknown! When I print to this printer, everything prints fine. Has anyone else encountered this apparent bug?

Hi, When I do an 'rcalsasound reload' or 'restart', my window decorations disappear and mouse clicks are ignored. The only option then is to CTRL+X and log in again. Any help/hints appreciated on how to restart alsa without crash :-) Diego openSUSE 10.3 64-bit, compiz/fusion/emerald with regular updates -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Ruby has a security vulnerability needs update.
by Robert Ferney 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

From the Ruby language website. Arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities in Ruby may lead to a denial of service http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2008/06/20/arbitrary-code-execution-vulner… I'd like to have and updated package so I can fix this without breaking future updates for the ruby package. Is there someone already working on this? What would it take to get this done? -- -Robert Ferney ( Kolbe 4357 Demonstrator / Myer Brigs INTJ ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Amarok & MP3
by Donald D Henson 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

I give up. What the heck do I have to install (openSuSE 11.0, Amarok 1.4, Gnome desktop) to allow Amarok to play MP3 files? I've installed a bunch of stuff but nothing has worked so far. I even searched the Amarok forum and found a lot of tantalizing tidbits but nothing to solve my problem. I'm assuming there's a simple fix. (There always is.) Any help appreciated.
