[opensuse] OpenSuSE 11.2 and input
by r 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

I installed OpenSuSE 11.2 on my Acer Aspire One D150 netbook ( 10 inches ). Everything went ok during installation but, when prompted for login I realized that none input device was working ( keyboard, mouse, touchpad ). I rebooted with systemrescuecd to see if /etc/X11/xorg.conf was correct, and it was. Now I have no way to do something on SuSE as it is, any clue ? Wasn't the input configuration file " xorg.conf " ? klamath -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Custom Label Software
by Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

I'd like to get some suggestions about what software is best for making custom labels. Well, not actually making labels, but inserts. Currently, I'm making them completely by hand, which is long, tiring, and error-prone. I take a piece of US Letter paper (8.5" x 11") and fold it so that it is divided roughly in thirds horizontally and fifths vertically, crease, and tear along the creases. This results in 15 blank inserts that are approximately 2+1/4" x 2+1/2". I then add the text to the inserts with a pen. Some inserts are duplicates, but never a whole page, so it is important I can easily put varying text on each insert. What I'd like to do is find a program that I can tell it I am printing on 11" x 8.5" (US Letter -- Landscape) paper that I want divided into 3 rows and 5 columns. Then, I could enter the text I need into each "cell". I suppose with my printer not able to do bleed printing on standard pages, It would have to be able to handle a hardware-enforced margins along the outside of the page. It would be preferable if the software could also print very light cut guides for when I get out the scissors or paper cutter after printing. I was thinking OO.o could do the job, using New->Label gives a rather unhelpful dialog. It doesn't seem to want to let me input a custom paper size, although it will let me put in a custom label size. There is a "Avery Letter" size, but I don't think it takes into account the margins required for my printer. Also, when I accept the values in the dialog and the document is generated, it has me putting in text in portrait orientation, which is incorrect. I've heard on a KDE program KBarCode or something that is supposed to handle a lot of this, but I've got no experience with it. KOffice might also be an option. I'm hoping someone has some experience with a task like this and can tell me not only what software to use, but a quick overview of the fastest way to accomplish my task. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss(a)iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/

by Bogdan Cristea 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

In openSUSE 11.2, 64 bits, with KDE 4.3.1, the Korganizer daemon is not shown in system tray even if that option is checked in Korganizer settings. Is there a way to overcome this bug ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Issue with openSUSE 11.2 / Wireless Supplicant Authentication / PEAP / Intel 3945ABG
by Adam Tauno Williams 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

We have a wireless network that uses 802.1x authentication, specifically PEAP (TKIP encryption with MS-CHAP authentication). While this has worked well for some time I haven't been able to sign on from my laptop since upgrading to openSUSE 11.2. Other systems are successfully using the wireless network.

[opensuse] seamonkey 2.0 + kmail? + java?
by Daniel Bauer 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Hi, With 11.2 I installed seamonkey 2.0, until now my preferred browser, but... a) how can I tell seamonkey to launch kmail if I click a mailto-link on a website? It always wants me to use mozillas own email client... I googled, but the solutions I found don't work (entering something in about:config, that worked in Seamonkey 1.x, but doesn't have any effect anymore in 2.0) or seems to be impossible (removing the mail part of seamonkey, but I cannot find a separate email rpm in Yast that I could remove). b) seamonkey doesn't work with Java anymore (Java, not JavaScript). Googling says, I have to install the JRE, but I cannot find this in Yast, only on Suns website. Do I really have to download from there and install it to enable seamonkey for Java applets? Any suggestions? Thanks.

[opensuse] compiz-fusion nvidia xorg.conf howto?
by Teruel de Campo MD 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

opensuse 11.2 nvidia GTS 8800 nvidia 190.43 compiz: 0.8.4-167.1-x86-64 This is not a question but some comment to help other users to speed up compiz installation. I have been using compiz since the beginning of times:) but every new opensuse version has changes that affect how do you set it up. I spent some time to make this one to work, of course now is very easy. There is no xorg.conf anymore. X is configured by HAL/autodetection instead of SaX2. In previous opensuse version often we have to do changes in the xorg.conf, under opensuse 11.2 there is no more xorg.conf. Read release notes (YaST and X.Org Configuration (Keyboard, Mouse, Graphics Board, and Monitor) 1. Be sure you have the nvidia modules loaded. You have a nvidia card during installation most likely you load the opensource nvidia modules, they are great but they do not work with compiz, so you have to remove those and load the proprietary drivers. http://en.opensuse.org/Nvidia 2. Remove all compiz done with the initial installation yast/software manager/search compiz and delete all compize stuff 3. Install one click http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz_Fusion This will install all kde4 and fusion-icon 4. Install compiz-emerald and themes. 5. Be sure all the version are the same if you have libraries or programs from previous version remove them. If you have problem do a manual installation and start with the basic one and then keep adding. I have one of the piece of the previous version (from the opensuse 11.2 initial installation. This was a clean installation so there was nothing from 11.1)This drove me nuts, after I removed it everything worked perfect. 6. Go to configure desktop /Desktop and be sure <enable desktops effects> are disable. This is only to activate kde4 effects. If you want them do not use compiz. One or the other. /Default Applications/Window Manager/Use a different window manager select Compiz (NOT Compiz custom....) 7. Restart the X server or reboot and you should have compiz running. 8. To customize it you can use CCSM or fusion-icon. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
