[opensuse] File Manager Super User mode in oS 11.2
by Jim Flanagan 21 Nov '09

21 Nov '09

I did a fresh install of oS11.2 on a freshly formatted partiton, default KDE. When I open File Manager - Super User Mode, it does not allow access to root files. I tried this several times, and only once did it function properly. The other times fail to access the file. I did not do anything differently, just opening File Manager - Super User Mode while logged in as a regular user. It does as for root password (different than the user password), but won't allow file access. I can see the files, but not open them. Any thoughts welcome.

[opensuse] Configuring for new HD monitor
by James Knott 21 Nov '09

21 Nov '09

Forgot to mention. It's an LG W2353G, which of course is not listed in SAX2. I'm trying to change my monitor from a VGA LCD monitor to an HD 1080p one. I have an NVidea GeForce 7300 GS video card. When I try to enable the HD monitor, using the NVidea utility, I get an error message that it cannot save the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup. It makes no difference whether or not I tell it to merge with the existing file. Any way around this? Until then, I can't enable this monitor, which is recongnized by the NVidea configuration utility. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how to change user ID at 11.2 new installation?
by Istvan Gabor 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Hello: I am trying to install openSUSE 11.2. When it comes to 'Create new user' I can not find how to change the user ID of the new user. The default probably is 1000 but I would like to set it to a different number. How can I do this? In earlier versions (8.x, 9.x, 10.x) it was not a problem, could be done easily. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

But the driver I used in 10.2 is still in the 11.2 list and it did not work. However this morning, at reboot, all the settings were forgotten, I had no printer at all, and I could only reinstall it by using hp-setup as root. and selecting the right driver. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello Matthias and Malcolm Thanks to both of you I managed to install my printer properly, I had made an unsuccessful attempt before with hplip, which is in the opensuse 11.2 distro ; but on looking at a HP site to get information about hp-setup, I could find how to tweak Yast to get a valid configuration for my printer using hplip. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
