[opensuse] klipper - How to select without changing remembered selection?
by David C. Rankin 25 Oct '09

25 Oct '09

Listmates, I don't know if this is possible currently, but if it isn't, it should be. One of the areas where kde is light-years ahead is with the copy/paste convenience provided by the dual clipboard/selection buffers that klipper offers. However many, many times I have selected something that I will want to paste only to find I have to select something else to clear a text-box like the google search box or firefox address bar. This requires that you either click into the text-box hit 'end' and 'backspace' over all the existing text you need to clear (PITA with very long URLs) or I just resolve to select/delete/reselect/paste -- wasted effort. Yes I know I could actually 'copy' the information to the clipboard buffer and that the next selection into the 'selection' buffer does not alter the copy buffer (I do that when I know a select/delete is needed), but I'm talking about all the times you select something for a quick paste only to then find out another select/delete will be needed after you shuffle through the open windows to get where you needed to paste the information. There should be a way to ctrl+select or meta+select that would allow you to select what you need to delete without disturbing the text in the selection buffer. Does something like that already exist? If not, can somebody think of a way to set that up in kde or X in general? This is something that a really smart kde developer could seize upon and slip into the next kde update and have added a feature that goes down in convenience/efficiency history ;-) I'll open a feature request if it doesn't already exist. -- David C.

I.e., it is too difficult to plan and thus to set up in a small to medium company environment. This is still a technology for big companies or trivial SOHO deployments. That's one more reasons why IPv6 has less take up in Europe and the US, where the IPv4 shortage is not felt.

[opensuse] Possible root exploit on 11.0 - how to handle/where to report?
by David C. Rankin 24 Oct '09

24 Oct '09

Listmates, I had an event that should not have occurred where I was running as a normal user in e16 and experienced a privilege elevation that left me running as root with a kde3 kicker active in e16. I need to know how to handle reporting the details because I know they are not supposed to be provided to the list or bugzilla. Marcus, Christian -- what do we do? Private replies OK... -- David C.

[opensuse] Whoa! Where did the new blue moon & clouds grub bootsplash come from :-)
by David C. Rankin 24 Oct '09

24 Oct '09

Good Job Somebody, I updated some of the e17 packages this evening and got a very pleasant surprise on reboot. A new bootsplash with a blue instead of a green theme. Now we're talkin.... The splash came from /home:/dmitry_serpokryl:/Enlightenment-cvs-core- metapackage/openSUSE_11.0/ and is a nice change from the tired green/gray splash. I like it :p -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] keyboard does not work while install suse11.2 RC1
by Matthias Krumm 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

Hello everyone, i tried to make the 11.2 RC1build 331 install, but the keyboard (PS/2) does not work in the graphic installation environment. (using german layout). I tried another keyboard (also PS/2) without success. The keyboard which i use works well in Suse 11.0 and 11.1. Try the option "secure kernel" helps and keyboard works in textmode. Does anyone know whats wrong? Where do i have to report the bug? Is the mailing list good for this?

[opensuse] Hardware support
by Florian Gleixner 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

Hi, i use linux (especially Suse) for quite a long time now and some time ago it was really easy to get new harware running. Plug in and enjoy. But these times are gone. Nowadays i can use hardware that was present at install time without a problem, but whenever i add hardware later, i have to puzzle what files to change to get the modules loaded and to get udevd to give me the right device nodes. Did i miss the easy way? How do you get new or changed hardware running? Today i swapped my mainboard. The hardest thing was to get access to the harddisks at boot time. I used rescue system to rebuild the initrd several times, adding more and more modules, but the disk was not visible in /dev. The solution was to run mkinitrd -A and after that i can see the disks. This is not a solution! Any help? Thanks! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
