[opensuse] Update notification/install with default Suse Window manager
by Dave Feustel 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Well, I have removed both the kdelibs3 and kdelibs4 and rebooted. After a reboot and login I have the default Suse window manager. There seems to be no longer any icon that turns orange when there are updates. Can I bring that icon up on the native suse panel or is there some other way to be aware of and install updates?

[opensuse] Please! Let Me Double-Click!
by Randall R Schulz 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hi, Now that I'm running openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 3.5, I am also occasionally running KDE 4.1 applications (all of which were installed without any express request on my part, presumably as part of some dependency or pattern). KDE 4.1 applications have their own file save dialogs and these dialogs are defaulting to single-click navigation, which I dislike. How / where can I change this KDE 4.1 option?

[opensuse] Another small smartctl question
by Bob Williams 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

In man smartctl, the following example is given ----- smartctl --smart=on --offlineauto=on --saveauto=on /dev/hda Enable SMART on drive /dev/hda, enable automatic offline testing every four hours, and enable autosaving of SMART Attributes. This is a good start-up line for your system´s init files. You can issue this command on a running system. ----- This seems a good idea, but I'm not sure where to put it. Somewhere in /etc/init.d/ is about the closest I can get. Any suggestions, please?

[opensuse] How do i make samba NOT display system name?
by Rikard Johnels 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

It probably has been up before, but i cant find any good clues on this: I have a samba server acting as a PDC on my home domain. It works as intended, using ldap for authentication, home folders etc. But i cant for my life make it NOT diplay the whole "user on 'Samba 3.0.24-2.23-1296-SUSE-CODE10 (arachnia)' " string on my mappings. I want it just to show the machine name (arachnia) If i browse the network it shows "arachina Server (Arachina)" Where shall i edit what? -- /Rikard Johnels

Re: [opensuse] Wireless question with kde

Available because I have added it previously, the scenario here is when I am at say a public location and they have 10 ssids which I have not previously added manually to knetworkmanager. It will not list it.

[opensuse] nscd problem when off line
by Anders Damm 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

Hi all! Have a LAN setup with openldap authentication for some PC running Opensuse11.0. The setup works real nice, but nscd won't allow log ons to my laptop-PC when it's off-line. Trying to switch a use in the console with "su - user-name" terminates after some minutes with a message "Permission on the password database may be to restrictive" and reject the password. All nscd-settings are unmodified from installation with cash-time set to approx. 60 minits. I did have this working for some 10.x versions some time ago, but now I'm really struck. Any suggestions how to fix this? /Anders D. -- ----------------------------------------- OpenSuse 11.0 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Weird Firefox 3.0 Failure on Certain file:/// URLs
by Randall R Schulz 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

Hi, I know this is a long shot, here or anywhere, but maybe someone has some relevant insight or experience... I use "archivemount" 0.5.3 to make it convenient to get at archives. After recompiling it with the new version of libarchive included in openSUSE 11.1 and making a tiny correction to the cover script I use to make archivemount easier to use, all seems to be working. However, there's one serious problem: Firefox refuses to display any files or directories mounted via archivemount. If I view the directory in which one or more archivemount mount-point directories exist, it omits them from its directory display. And if I give it a path (either "naked" or in the form of a file:// URL) that traverses such a mountpoint, it simply ignores it, without producing any kind of error or diagnostic. Other programs, including Konqueror, have no trouble with these archivemount mount-point directories. One other possibly pertinent clue is this (the last two entries are those of archivemount mount-points / "file systems"): % df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb2 35887744 7806592 28081152 22% / /dev/sda1 20962584 1934524 19028060 10% /xtra /dev/sda5 25530844 7185280 18345564 29% /home /dev/sdd1 293008588 123372392 169636196 43% /repo /dev/sdc3 11961344 4289552 7671792 36% /dar /dev/sdc2 11961344 10327260 1634084 87% /home10 /dev/sdb1 35895684 17757000 18138684 50% /root10 /dev/sde2 488250156 40685684 447564472 9% /book2 /dev/sr0 4451058 4451058 0 100% /media/SU1110.001 /dev/sr1 715240 715240 0 100% /media/SU1110.001-1 df: `/dar/tau/tst/New/log/Paths2-2009-01-25_09.44.38': Function not implemented df: `/dar/tau/tst/New/log/Paths2-2009-01-25_09.46.38': Function not implemented At the moment, the only thing I can think of is that Firefox wants to make a system call on one of the archivemount mount-point directories and that system call fails so Firefox ignores the directory entirely. If anyone can shed light on this, especially how I might resolve or work around the problem, I'd appreciate hearing about it. By the way, given the apparent cessation of development of archivemount, I'm amenable to hearing about alternatives / replacements to it.

Talking about wireless, when I am using kde-3.5.x how do I get it to list down all the available wireless ssids instead of only listing them down in the dialog when I try to add a wireless connection?
