[opensuse] Am I the only one?
by Jerry Houston 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

Am I the only one who's happy with v11.1 and KDE4? I'm a cautious user. Here at home, we have four machines running Linux -- our server, my desktop workstation, my wife's desktop workstation, and one of my laptops. My laptop isn't an important machine. It doesn't archive emails, or run Apache. It's not an FTP server. It's just a machine that I can use to read and write emails (as I'm doing now), and browse the web. So it seemed like the perfect first choice to try the new stuff. After using 11.0 with KDE4, and updating it to 11.1 with KDE4, my experience was so generally favorable on the laptop that i likewise updated my desktop. Once I found that everything I need on that machine seemed unaffected by the update, I did the same with my wife's desktop. She loves it. It was with grave trepidation that i considered updating the server. It was working fine with v10.3 and KDE3. And that's where our email archives, shared DejaClick macros, digital images, MP3s, and ripped DVDs are. Not to mention my web site, mono projects, and our svn repositories. In fact, I did have problems with the NIS server that prevented us from logging on to the other machines as ordinary users. After a couple days of trying everything else, and double-checking everything, I finally resolved that by removing the NIS server and reinstalling it. Problem solved. In hindsight, I could have fixed it in about 10 minutes if I'd only done that to start with. So we now have all four machines running v11.1 and KDE4. Neither of us has found anything that we wanted to do with KDE3 that we can't do with KDE4. And so far, I'm lovin' it! For sure, there are going to be bugs to fix, and features to implement. The same was true of every earlier version. But I'm delighted with what we have so far, and looking forward to what's yet to come. Merry Christmas, all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What happened to tsclient?
by Anthony M Simonelli 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

I used to use tsclient on Ubuntu to connect to Window XP machines using RDP and it had a great interface, loads of options, etc. This was version 1.5? I now use openSUSE 11.1 and installed tsclient from YaST. This is version 2.0. Now it won't start from the menu (see bug 461601 at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461601 ) which is still not fixed. I can run it just by typing tsclient from the command line, but I'm presented with an extremely simple window where I can configure connections, with a fraction of the options and all of them seem different. It looks nothing like it is advertised at the openSUSE site ( http://en.opensuse.org/Terminal_Services_Client ). I know that this is probably an upstream issue but does anyone know why it seems to have taken a step back? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Christian 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

Hi all, I have been using that other distribution for some time now, but I am thinking about switching to openSUSE since it seems to have some nice and cool features compared to the other. How do i install .deb packages on opensuse? Many thanks, Christian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kopete Webcam
by Michael A. Sterba 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

Hello Listmates, Has anyone identified the issue with Kopete 0.12.7 (Using KDE 3.5.10 "release 21.11) not recognizing the webcam? I have 3 different cameras that work under luvcview showing that the driver and permissions are correct. But under Kopetes settings I get a blue screen that has the quality of a certain screen of death... A classic M$ memory. In the configure, devices submenu, there are no available selections. When under KDE 4.1, I received raster lines only... even in luvcview -- Thank you, Michael.A.Sterba -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Scanning suggestions to replace XSane?
by John Lange 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

I'm looking for a straight forward scanning solution for use under gnome. As far as I can tell, XSane is the only thing around (and it's horrible). I've managed to create sane command line options and assign them to icons for most of what I want to do and simple functions like; scan multi-page to PDF, scan multi-page to email are now a "one-click" solution. The problem is with flat-bed scanning which requires the user to "preview" the scan and then select an area for scanning before completing the operation. I see no alternative than to fire up the full X-Sane front end which is what I'm hoping to avoid. I know there is a more comprehensive scanning solution under KDE (which I can't recall the name of) but it also doesn't really do what I want and in any case it is way over-kill. If anyone is aware of a very simple, straight forward scanning system that provides the following 4 options: multi-page to PDF multi-page to email (PDF attachment) flatbed to PDF flatbed to email (PDF or JPG attachment) please let me know.

[opensuse] Re: Palm TX - OpenSuse 11.0

Yes, I have no problems with jpiot, kpilot or gnome-pilot. > I have not had much luck getting this to work consistantly on > 10.2, 10.3, 11.0. This is because for some strange reason OpenSUSE is still using the old visor module with /dev/pilot. To acheive good sync you need to: 1. Blacklist the visor module by putting "blacklist visor" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and either remove the module (if loaded) with rmmod or reboot. 2. Copy the file "doc/60-libpisock.rules" from the pilot-link source tarball to "/etc/udev/rules.d" and put all allowed users in the "dialout" group. 3. Change the device from "/dev/pilot" to "usb:" in your syncing program of choice. Charles -- "Whip me. Beat me. Make me maintain AIX." (By Stephan Zielinski)
