[opensuse] My first prob with 11.2 embedded flash won't play
by Clayton 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hmmm I seem to have bumped into an odd problem with my 11.2 install (KDE4 default and Firefox).... embedded Flash will not play. For example, this page: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8361025.stm has a small Flash video embedded in the page. It shows the initial image as normal with "click to play", but clicking has no effect. I've seen the same on embedded YouTube videos - but there if I right-click on the embedded video I have an option "Play in YouTube" and if I select that option, YouTube is opened in a new tab and the video plays fine. So.. given that Flash video will actually play if I am directly in YouTube... something else is wrong, and I have no idea what. Anyone else see this with 11.2? Or have any ideas why embedded Flash won't play in some instances? C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] opensuse 11.2 - Evolution's Send/Receive button is missing icon when using KDE
by Ken Gramm 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

I've got 11.2 installed on three different machines and on all three, while using Evolution from within KDE, the Send/Receive button is missing its icon. In its place, there is a small white page with a red X. But if I flip over to GNOME, all of the icons appear. I've Google'd around and most posts talk about checking the permissions on the /usr/share/icons folder and/or adding 'gtk-fallback-icon-theme = "gnome"' to /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc. I've checked and everything looks OK. I've tried all of the GTK themes and all of them have the same issue. All of the other Evolution buttons seem to correctly display their icon. It just seems to be the Send/Receive button that is effected. I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue and/or if anyone knows the solution. For the record, I using the 32 bit version of 11.2. I've also upgraded KDE to version 4.3.3.

[opensuse] Wine problem
by Oszkó Albert 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Dear All, >From time to time I would need to run a clever software under linux to avoid reboot into windows. The software in question runs "nearly" fine with wine, but only nearly. Selection of so called data blocks arranged in rows and columns is not working with the left mouse button. Instead, only a whole row can be selected - as one would expect from the colour of the data blocks, but actually only the upper left one gets selected (because only its content is displayed on the screen). Staritng from command line I get the following two lines: fixme:storage:StgCreateDocfile Storage share mode not implemented. fixme:storage:StgCreateDocfile Transacted mode not implemented. fixme:commdlg:GetFileName95 Flags 0x00800000 not yet implemented The third line is added when I try to select data blocks with the mouse. Are there any ideas of a workaround? BTW, is it possible that there is no mail in this list in the last 24 hours, or the fault is on my side?

[opensuse] mail list server down?
by Teruel de Campo MD 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

This weekend I did not receive any mail from the mail list server and I could not access the mail list (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/) Today I got one e-mail and I could access the mail list. Was the server down. I tried with evolution and kmail both from 11.1 11.2. The rest is working well. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Using 8 Gb with openSUSE
by Terry Eck 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

I want to thank Clayton for reminding me about the PAE kernel. Turns out it was installed and all I had to do was change the boot CD to give me a choice of default or PAE. I'm now using the PAE kernel and free shows 8Gb of memory. Thanks, Terry PS: I guess when I install 11.2 I should use the 64bit kernel. -- openSUSE 11.1 -- Kernel 2.6.27 -- GNU/Linux -- Mon 11/23/09 4:20pm up 0:01, 4 users, load average: 3.40, 0.91, 0.31 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] install behind firewal required
by Rowan R. 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

this is a stupid question, am I required to install (SuSE 11.2) behind a firewall, or does yast initially block all ports incoming during install until SuSEfirewall2 has been config'ed ? -- The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom. - Sun Tzu -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Re: Has anybody gotten vmware server to work on 11.2, and how?

Who got this idea, wasn't he fired > instantly? :-/ There is no standalone console in Server 2, and probably never will be one. This change was met with a big uproar in VMware forums, but the VMware folks kept defending their decision. Their line of reasoning is along (1) it brings Server 2 inline with ESX and other server products, (2) this is a server and one doesn't need the console often anyhow, (3) if one wants a workstation product, one shall use VMware Workstation or Player and not Server 2. The argument is not consistent, though; since there are VI clients for Windows, just not for Linux. What I see is that VMware doesn't see a big market in Linux endpoints for their corporate products, they assume Windows there. Many Server 1 users don't think so, me included. Time will show if users start to vote with their feet and move to other Linux virtualization products. > And very slow... i have to wait minutes for actions! I haven't used Server 2 with the 11.2 patches, only with 11.1. There it was not slower, just more inconvenient cf. console usage.
