That worked perfectly. Where is the doc for fmask & dmask settings so I can study up on those.

[opensuse] mounting ntfs partition
by James D. Parra 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

Hello, I can mount an NTFS partition and, as root, read and write to it, however I'd like all users to be able to read and write to it. This is in my /etc/fstab; /dev/disk/by-id/ieee1394-0010b9210090c0ab:000460:0000-part1 /maxraid1 ntfs-3g users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 <snip> Using 'chmod' on the dir doesn't change the permissions either. d--------- 1 root users 4096 2009-01-02 09:21 maxraid1 What can I put in fstab to make this mount read/writeable to all users? Many thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Safest way to update kernel? or don't bother?
by Sbs Bofh 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

So, I'm using openSuSE 10.3 on a machine which is running in a headless configuration in a datacenter several hundred miles away. I have serial console access and can see some but not all of the boot-up over the serial console. Currently on kernel 2.6.22.18-0.2 (the SMP flavor, I think, if that makes any difference) zypper -v pchk says the box needs a kernel security update - how do I judge whether I should apply the update or not? (BTW, there are no local users on this machine other than me.) If I apply this update, is there a risk of the box failing to boot afterwards? This would be A Bad Thing. Is there a "safer" way to apply this update, perhaps by keeping the old kernel available in the grub boot menu?

[opensuse] aria2c wiki article
by Rajko M. 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

It is interesting that aria2c had no wiki page. I created one based on Wikipedia with few adjustments to our wiki. Please see what should be added: http://en.opensuse.org/Aria2c I guess some basic usage line example, but I used it only once. So (friendly) comments are welcome ;-) -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Sound doesn't play in Firefox
by Mark Misulich 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

Hi, I upgraded to 11.1 32bit system on my desktop computer, and now sound doesn't work on sites with streaming audio such as youtube or news websites when I use Firefox. The sound works normally otherwise. I have used the one click multimedia installation from opensuse-community for installation of players and codecs. I have kde 3.5 installed. Would anyone be able to help me figure out why this isn't working?

Hi all, I am used to other linux distributions, but i need to ask about doing this with zypper. If I want to install an application from source and need to build the dependency tree for that, how do I do that?

[opensuse] java impressions
by Teruel de Campo MD 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

I for many years I've used a small java program to monitor my e-mail that is in many ways unique (mailfaces). The problem was that since opensuse 10.2 or may be 10.1 was not stable, occasionally freezing the screen. Under opensuse 11.1 (java 1.6) is very stable and I have not had any problems. The only thing is that the fonts do not look as good as in the previous version. The same is happening with all the java applications I run (freemind etc). I still have not found a way to configure the fonts for java at system level. In summary to have mailfaces on all the time is a major plus for me. http://members.cruzio.com/~jthomas/mailfaces/ -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 64 Bit issues? Genesys scanner and KDE 4 panel trouble
by Thierry de Coulon 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

Hello, I installed 11.1 in the x86_64 version for a new try. The installer seems OK (except it wanted to install Grub on the extended partition (!?) and activated that one, so next time I got "no operating system* - thank you recue system). You need a hell of a time to explore every menu and program to figure out how to configure KDE 4, but in the end 4.1 is almost usable (speaking fo the desktop). I wonder if these are considered as features: - if you use two screens (twinview) you now have to (or can, depends on how you see it) choose background pictures for each screen - you don't seem to be able to move plasmoïds (or whatever the onscreen gismos are named) from one screen to the other, you have to activate them for each screen - if you change the button order on your window bar, they don't reorganise automatically, leaving a "hole" if you move the close button for exemple. You can, however, relocate the other by hand - lot of work - In Dolphin, you can't set and remember the directory for the right windows (in split mode). - what use is the KDE/3 control center when you don't have KDE/3 installed? I haven't understood the interest of the Folder View, but I'll keep trying. No, I have two concerns now, and I wonder if they have to do with my choice of the 64 bit version: - some elements of my "panel" keep using as much space as available. The system tray and the clock are such. The only way to make them smaller is to add more apps in the panel, but I can't organise these really well or create spaces between them. However, I have seen scrren shots with smaller clock... Does this work ok in 32 bit mode? - SuSE 11.1 (or it's Yast, actually) sees my LiDE50 scanner and want's to install it, but it fails (although no error message is displayed - the scanner remains unset, and xsane can't find any scanner). The scanner works very well in 10.3 (32 bit) and there are lots of messages on Internet about no drivers for Vista 64bit, so I wonder if this is a 64 bit problem. Oh, and KDE 4.1 Desktop is clearly *very much* slower that Gnome. So better, but clearly still beta state.
