[opensuse] Thunderbird Spell Checker
by Stephen P. Molnar 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Thunderbird/3.0b4 It would appear that spell checking on Thunderbird is not working. The window opens, but nothing happens, except closing when close is clicked twice. I tried searching the Thunderbird web site, but this only resulted in confusion on my part. I realize that this is a beta version. Has anyone else found this problem, perhaps a solution? -- Stephen P.

[opensuse] opensuse 11.2 not recognising an encrypted luks partition on external USB drive
by Andrew Colvin 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi all I have installed opensuse 11.2 on one of my laptops (fresh install and not upgrade), however, whenever I plug in an external usb drive which has 3 partitions (part 1 is vfat, 2 is ext3, 3 is luks encrypted ext4) on it there is no recognition of the encrypted partition by the device notifier. When I insert it into my other machines (opensuse 11.0 and 11.1) the device notifier recognises it and I get prompted for the password for the partition. At first I though it may be the predicate for encrypted volume (as it used to be for previous kde4 installs) but that is the same as the setting on my kde 4.3 on opensuse 11.0 and 11.1 installs For info the luks is installed and working as the whole drive is encrypted and I can also do cryptsetup luksOpen and manually mount I then checked the device with hal-device and what I found showed that hal is recognising the partition exists but not that it is encrypted Below is the output from my opensuse 11.0 server which is working ok but on the 11.2 install I get empty strings where ever there should be crypto references eg volume.fsusage = '' (string) [sorry cant give the output in this mail as I left the laptop at work] To make sure this hasnt been caused by incompatible old versions or partitioning I reformatted the drive under 11.2 as well Does anybody know how to resolve this or seen it before.

[opensuse] upgrade to 11.2 -- have graphical boot, but no desktop -- just a web-doc greeting.
by Linda Walsh 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

How can I get a regular desktop to appear? Seems like no desktop manager is starting. All I see besides the web-doc greeting is an xconsole window. I tried changing the window manager but that either didn't start or had same empty desktop. Any hints on how to initialize it? I have similar symptoms trying to start a remoteX desktop, thought I eventually get a timeout there. Not very useful if it boots up in desktop and you can't access anything. :-) linda -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Driver for Intel 3945 wireless card
by Stan Goodman 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

I see on YaST the firmware for this card, but I do not see the driver itself. The page <http://en.opensuse.org/Wireless_network_card#Intel_Pro_Wireless_.28IPW.29_3…> implies that both these packages should be available on the non-oss repo. Where is it? Or is it already in the kernel, which the page doesn't mention? I have not found instructions for installing the firmware; will that happen automagically? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenSuSE 11.2 and VMWare Server V2 on x86-64
by John Bennett 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

The other thread seemed to be about VMWare Workstation.. So, I was wondering if anyone has successfully setup VMWare Server V2 on x86-64. I have tried downloading the latest (VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.x86_64.rpm) and get 'multiple' errors...

[opensuse] openSUSE windows Active Directory and OU=
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

I have an openSUSE 11.x machine that has joined the local Windows Active Directory. It is working great. Windows folk can log in and a $HOME is made on the fly if it does not exist. But you knew there would be more... We have thousands of users in the Active Directory. I really do not want all of them to have access. In the LDAP entry, there is a OU= field for those I want to be able to log in. Is it possible to limit login to those in some specified OU= ? I set this up in YaST, and did not see anything there related to this. Perhaps it is something I should add to the smb.conf file? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
