I have been asked to write an article using DocBook XML format. I am using quanta for XML file editing, but I need a way to convert the XML file to HTML in order to preview the article.

Don't make any changes in there, just write down the partition name, Perhaps something like /dev/hdb3 or /dev/sda1 or some such. Then hit abort to exit partition manager without making changes. The open a shell (Konsole) and log in as root. Then mount that partition with a command like mount /dev/hd?? /mnt -t auto ro (that last bit ( ro ) mounts it Read Only so that you can copy stuff off but not mess it up. -- A computer without Microsoft is like a chocolate cake without mustard. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Plasma desktop crashes on Acer Aspire one
by Bogdan Cristea 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

I have installed openSUSE 11.2 with KDE4.3.1 on my Acer Aspire one mini- laptop, but when I try to customize the plasma desktop, I get at reboot a black screen and an error message. The only way to have a usable desktop is to remove .kde* folders and restart the computer. Do you have noticed a similar behavior? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] VirtualBox & kernel-source
by N B Day 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

I know this has been discussed, but the archives seem to be down right now ... I'm trying to install Virtual Box (the one from Sun, not the OSE) and it's complaining that it can't compile the kernel module. I have both kernel-headers and kernel-source installed. The virtualbox-install.log seems to indicate that it can't find them, or that they aren't properly configured. What do I do now? Tks, -- N. B.

[opensuse] SuSE 11.2 and login problems
by Jim Sabatke 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

I installed SuSE 11.2 with KDE4 (stock version as found on the DVD). >From a turned off machine, the box sometimes goes directly into his user account and sometimes goes to the login screen where he needs to type in a password. This user needs a lot of hand-holding and gets confused if he needs to login. Is there any way to avoid this seemingly random behavior?

CAREFULLY use yast to see if this is possible. if it's only partition related, it's very easy to recover a lost windows partition. If the files are removed for some windows failure, you just can try. http://wiki.tldp.org/Partition-Rescue?action=show&redirect=PartitionRescueH… jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
