[opensuse] KDE System Tray
by Anton Aylward 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Some applications seem to go into the system tray in the KDE4 panel all by themselves - kmix, kgpg, kaffine; some have plugins that can go there - firefox, thunderbird. But what about other applications in general? It would be nice to have a few thigns like kcalc and ksnapshot there. If I go into the menu editor there is a box in the entry for ksnapshot labelled "put in system tray". If I "X" it, and save then .... no, ksnapshot does NOT appear in the system tray. Is this another of those "gaps" where KDE4's new code-base is still catching up to what was in KDE3 or am I doing something wrong? -- People who love sausages, respect the law, and work with IT standards shouldn't watch any of them being made. -- Peter Gutmann -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Getting KDE 3.5 With openSUSE 11.1?
by Randall R Schulz 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hi, I've now completed two from-scratch installations of openSUSE 11.1, each time requesting KDE 3.5 and yet both times I end up with Gnome. The first time I did extensive package customization. The second time I just selected the "patterns" I wanted, which included almost all of them (and all the programming ones except Java). This is extremely frustrating, given that it takes over an hour each time just to get to the point where I'm presented with the dreaded Gnome desktop. What am I doing wrong?

[opensuse] dvd authoring
by jdd 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hello I want to discuss dvd authoring, here, if some of you have knowledge in that matter; Until recently I had to use win application (magix) to do the job, but I noticed than with the openSUSE 11.1 was shipped a working version of Kdenlive . So I could at last edit my DV camcorder files and render very easily a dvd vob files. However I've not been able until now to make a correct dvd from them (back to windows again!). I tryied many apps. Kdvdcreator, gAny2DVD, DeVeDe, tovid GUI... all this from YaST. tovidGUI: jdd@mecum:~> tovidgui Usage: tovidgui simple|-s fancy|-f jdd@mecum:~> tovidgui -s ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Running command: makemenugui ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ tovidgui requires wxPython 2.6 or 2.8. Please install or upgrade wxPython. of course wxPython *is* installed Kdvdcreator: I was able to make a dvd layout, probably with continuous play and skip between clips (only verifyed from the computer with VLC), but no menus gdvd: couldn't do anything apart adding element (void) gAny2DVD: could make a dvd with skips between clips, but at the end of the first clip the reading stops (no reading of the next clip, no skip possible) DeVeDe: probably the more complete one, but I experiment very long blackouts between some clips (several seconds) any ideas? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412160445 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Intermittent network access problem
by Hugo Palma 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hi, i installed 11.1 (64bits) with KDE4.1 and recently i started having the following problem. It seems that as soon as the network starts (or i restart it) everything works fine. But after i wait a few seconds i simply can't ping any IPs, then after a few seconds i can ping them again and so on. There doesn't seem to be a fixed interval of time for this happen. One thing i noticed is that this happens less frequently when accessing IPs from the same network as me. Also, this doesn't happen on my home network, only at work. It looks liek routing trouble but the routing tables i get from the route command are the same at the time i have full network access and when the problem occurs. I'd really appreciate some ideas on this. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Flashlight broken on 11.1 box
by Jan Karjalainen 08 Jan '09

Yay, got my 11.1 box + special "iContribute" t-shirt today! Only sad thing is that the flashlight was broken... It's one of those LED thingies, quite nice looking with the openSUSE logo on its side. /Jan K. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Finding a modem
by Simon Roberts 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hi all, I'm having very basic trouble with a modem card. It's an old one, and it's possible it's dead, misconfigured, or otherwise not functioning. However, my problem is more basic than that, even. I can see from hwinfo that the thing was probed successfully, and it has created /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS1, but I don't know which is the modem, and which the serial port, and I am having difficulty finding out. I tried using minicom to connect to the thing and sending it "AT" and "ATZ" commands (memory vaguely suggested that one of these was supposed to get a reply from the modem) but I couldn't get a response out of either /dev/ttyS0 or S1. Any suggestions on how to identify it, or determine if the card is in fact misconfigured in some critical way (or dead)? Cheers, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.
