[opensuse] Establishing a Software Proofreading Team
by Karl Eichwalder 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

In addition to the well established translations teams, we'd also like to build a software proofreading team. If you are an (American) English native speaker or someone with deep knowledge in English and you want to improve the software strings of YaST and other tools, join the proofreading team! We will grant you SVN commit rights. The first one who applies will become the team coordinator. So, send me your Novell account name (Bugzilla login) and access your wiki user page at http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/User:<NAME> Replace "<NAME>" with your actual user name. Before starting proofing, you must read the "Style Guide for SUSE Program Texts" (http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL11.0/styleguide/index.html) and proof according to these guidelines. The proofing process works as follows: . Find the files to be proofed in the 50-proof directory (https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/suse-i18n/trunk/yast/50-proof). Those are POT files, so you can use known POT or PO files editors such as kbabel, Emacs/po-mode, or poedit. Note, we probably will update the POT files later this week again. . If possible, check file by file completely. Initially, all message strings are empty and marked as fuzzy: #: disk/src/disk.ycp:50 #, fuzzy msgid "Please wait, while volumes are being detected." msgstr "" If you want a approve a message, just remove the fuzzy marker and keep the msgstr field empty. #: disk/src/disk.ycp:50 msgid "Please wait, while volumes are being detected." msgstr "" If you want to supply a correction, enter a "translation" and remove the fuzzy marker: #: disk/src/disk.ycp:50 msgid "Please wait, while volumes are being detected." msgstr "Wait, while volumes are being detected." In case of doubt, keep the fuzzy for the moment, thus another team members can find and check it: #: disk/src/disk.ycp:50 #, fuzzy msgid "Please wait, while volumes are being detected." msgstr "Wait, while volumes are being detected." . Once the proofreading round is finished, the software developers will carryover your corrections into the source code and we will store all approved or improved strings in our string database. -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problem with Firefox
by AV 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

Hi, Opensuse 11, ThinkPad T61 with NVidia, Compiz enabled. When I browse with Firefox and do scrolling I get every page messed up. Graphics, fonts, links are mixed and not readable. In Konqueror I do not get this problem. Only in FF. It is only problem that I have with Opensuse 11...

[opensuse] SSH Over LAN Problem
by Donald D Henson 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

My problem is that I don't know how to do that. I have ssh (OpenSuSE 11.0) working over the Internet so the installation appears to be ok. I've gone to several SSH howto sites but come out more confused than I went in. It seems to me that there should be a simple ssh command to allow me to connect to another machine on my LAN, something like: ssh -l alice Venus-ws.homeoffice Am I essentially correct or way off? Any pointers appreciated. -- Don Henson

[opensuse] How to change kicker icon in KDE4.1
by Jason Bailey, Sun Advocate Webmaster 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

I'm running KDE 4.1 on openSUSE 11. No offense to the SUSE icon artists, but I want to replace the SUSE kicker icon on the main panel with the default blue KDE icon. In openSUSE 10.3, there was a .mng file you had to rename. Is that the scenario here too, or is there a simpler solution (option in the GUI)? -- Jason Bailey, Web/IT Administrator Sun Advocate / Emery County Progress webmaster(a)sunad.com / webmaster(a)ecprogress.com (435) 637-0732 (ext 31) -- 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?

[opensuse] problem sending mail in Kmail
by w1az＠comcast.net 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

While testing kde4.1 yesterday, I found that sending mail from Kmail suddenly stopped working. In the version of Kmail, the message "Transport 'KNode Mail Transport' is invalid." appears in a box titled "Sending failed - KMail" The same thing happens running in either kde 4.1 or 3.5. In the 3.5 version of Kmail, no message appears, but the messages don't get sent. In both versions, the settings are the same as they have been and previously I could send fine. I use smtp to send through a comscast account. I'm pretty much out of ideas and would appreciate any new ones!

That also has a button on the bottom right that says "Other v" that button allows you to "set as primary card" which would let you choose one or the other. Not sure if that's what you want, but maybe it'll help. Cheers Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.

[opensuse] Low-level symlinks are possible in Linux ? (needed for file system virtualization)
by Alexey Eremenko 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Hi All ! I'm practicing black magic... oops... file system virtualization I meant :) What I'm trying to do - is to find something in between the softlink (which is in userspace) and hardlink (filesystem/kernelspace level). I want my softlinks to be accessible from non-standard mount points and from virtual machines. Links this /mnt/mydisk1/symlink1 -> (softlink to) /mnt/mydisk2/file1 Now, If I mount only harddisk 1, then then all programs running on mydisk1 will be unable to access to symlink1, because it point at userspace level to something that not exists. Things can become more complex if I use container-based virtualization (OpenVZ). Hardlinks can solve this issue, because they work at kernel level, but they have lots of limitations: no directories, files must be on same partition, ... Question: Is there a way to make symlink at kernel level, so it will behave correctly under non-standard circumstances ? -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] acpid earlyxdm microcode.ctl xdm at the start of Suse 11.0
by Franz Preihs 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Hi, I got this message acpid earlyxdm microcode.ctl xdm at the start of Suse 11.0 I think it relates to the graphical interface which doesn't start at one user account which I created. But it starts at the root user. What can I do? Which programme do I have to start and how in order to repair the graphical interface?
