[opensuse] Building enlightenment (e16) for 10.3
by David C. Rankin 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Listmates, As 10.3 winds down and the repositories disappear, if you need enlightenment, it is still easy to build and install. I have a spare drive for my laptop that still has a 10.3 install on it and I didn't want to do a full install of something latter, but I still wanted enlightenment. The repositories are gone, so I looked at the enlightenment site which directs you to sourceforge for download of the packages. You get the packages here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/enlightenment/files/ You will want to grab the following: e16-1.0.1.tar.gz e16-docs-0.16.8.0.2.tar.gz e16keyedit-0.6.tar.gz e16-themes-1.0.0.tar.gz (you can find lots of others on the net) epplets-0.12.tar.gz Currently the OSS and Update repositories are still available so be sure to install imlib2, imlib2-devel, libcdaudio, and libcdaudio-devel (also available in libclanbomber). If you can't get imlib2 or the devel pkg, you can get those from the same sourceforge link. imlib2-1.4.2.tar.bz2 imlib2_loaders-1.4.2.tar.bz2 untar e16, epplets, e16keyedit, and e16-docs to a directory of your choice. (just put the themes in /usr/share/e16/themes after the install). You will have a directory like this: e16-1.0.1 e16-docs-0.16 e16keyedit-0.6 epplets-0.12 Just do the following to build and install e16: cd e16-1.0.1 ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --bindir=/usr/bin -- enable-mans make make install epplets-0.12 ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --bindir=/usr/bin -- enable-mans make make install e16keyedit-0.6 ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --bindir=/usr/bin -- enable-mans make (** then just copy e16keyedit to /usr/bin) e16-docs-0.16 ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --bindir=/usr/bin -- enable-mans make make install Done. Start it up rt-click and change the theme to ganymede (or whatever you like), then rt-click again -> Maintenance -> Regenerate Menus and you are done. Enjoy :p P.S. It really sucks to have the 10.3 repositories dropped just to go the where they used to be on opensuse and find 3 VERSIONS of Fedora AND 3 VERSIONS of Mandrivel, but only 2 versions of suse -- We know the Novell line -> "It's a space issue, we can't leave them up.."

[opensuse] yast2 and DSL device configuration
by Per Jessen 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Has anyone tried this recently? I'm trying it out for the first time, and it seems a little dodgy in 11.2rc2. For instance, I can configure a device for pppoe, even if the rp-pppoe package isn't on the DVD image. Later I tried configured a device to have no IP address, and ended up with a device called "_rename" ... /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.3°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Extracting virtual machines from VMWare player
by Rikard Johnels 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Is there a way to extract a virtual machine onto a "real" machine? I have a nice setup for a installation server that i want to make permanent and stand alone. Right now its hosted via VMWare Player. Is there anyway to transfer the image onto a hard drive and make it bootable? -- /Rikard Johnels

[opensuse] xalan XSLT processor in openSUSE 11.1
by Roger Oberholtzer 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Is anyone using xalan (xalan-j2-2.7.0-244.17) in openSUSE 11.1? I cannot get it to work. I am new to xslt, so it could be me. To eliminate as much of 'me' as possible, I am trying to run a simple XSLT example from the O'Reilly XSLT 2.0 book. Examples from that book can be found here: http://examples.oreilly.com/9780596527211/ I have my CLASSPATH set to: /usr/share/java/xalan-j2.jar:/usr/share/java/xalan-j2-serializer.jar When I run this command: java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process I get a proper help message for xalan, as expected: Xalan-J command line Process class options: -Common Options- [-XSLTC (use XSLTC for transformation)] [-IN inputXMLURL] [-XSL XSLTransformationURL] [-OUT outputFileName] ... and so on I then try an example from Chapter 2 (from the archive found at the address above) with: java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in greetings.xml \ -xsl greeting.xsl -out test.html And I get nothing. I should get the same as in greetings.html in the Chapter2 directory. xalan is one of the tools used in this book, and I am doing the command line as explained there. Perhaps I am missing some other thing that needs to be installed? As xalan does not complain at all, I can't guess what. Anyone else using xalan on openSUSE 11.1? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] webpin still listing 10.3 repositories, what needs to be updated?

[opensuse] ssh problem in opensuse 11.1
by Istvan Gabor 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Hello list members: I have a problem using ssh in opensuse 11.1. The latest kernel is installed: 2.6.27.37-0.1-default. The symptom is: when I run ssh I don't get any response or error message. I have to kill ssh with ctrl-c. Eg.: > ssh -l username target.machine.address Nothing happens, neither connection occurs nor error message is given. I can ssh to the same machine (ie. target.machine.address) from opensuse 10.3 with the same command. How could I diagnose this? What can be the problem? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.1 Yast Err after update to KDE 4.3/factory (remove/reinstrall yast fixed it)
by David C. Rankin 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Listmates, After updating my 1 11.1 box to kde43, yast begin broke with the familiar "ycp" error usually indicating a libqt mismatch. Instead of monkeying around with libqt, I removed yast2 completely with rpm -e --nodeps, the reinstalled the same list of packages with zypper in. Worked perfectly. In the past, the solution had been to enable factory-oss and let both libqt and yast update which left you with a yast that would work, but would break if your base system pulled conflicting qt packages in. By just removing and reinstalling yast with the current base set of repositories, you eliminate the risk of future qt packages breaking it again... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] recommendation for wording, title of linux expert who can put linux to practical use
by Zhang Weiwu 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Off-topic it may seems, a friend of mine is looking for recommendation of his business title to English, but I do not know any better place to get such recommendations than this list. He works for getting Linux to practical use. This is quiet different than writing software on Linux, because he has to focus on business issue like evaluation, compatibility issue, training, workflow design and optimization, more than focusing on software. Such job also require a big portfolio of Linux products in mind to assist the usage. For example, making Linux used in publication business would involve using multiple Linux software: desktop publishing, RIPping, postscript processing, image setting, retouching photos, illustration making, copy editing etc. He does not need to be able to write any software but knows how to get them used in reality, and not specific to make best use of a single product used but in general make use of multiple software on Linux. He also needs to be able to tell difficulty or benefit of Linux usage in given context. I would say Linux Implementation Professional, but that sounds as if he is expert to implement things on Linux, e.g. port CounterStrike to Linux, and his implementation is different from the software design concept implementation, for example, the implementation in "object implementations interfaces" or "POSIX implementation on Windows". I also would invent phrases like Linux Utilization Expert or Linux Use Case Analyst, or Linux Use Professional, which sounds strange to me (i am a "Linux-using" professional). What would you use? I also try to avoid Linux advocate because that assume the person holds a Linux stand, which in fact he should stand with customer requirement, at least try to do so. Same as if you prefer to say SAP Professional instead of SAP Advocator when you want to do business. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Will Beagle be Regd on 11.2 or will Strigi take its Place
by David C. Rankin 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

Guys, Will we still have beagle on 11.2 or will strigi take it's place? Currently the kde4 help system isn't working on my box, because I got rid of beagle (or at least that's that I think is the problem with the help system). That prompted the question, "What index/search backend will 11.2 utilize for kde4 help/etc...?" Still beagle? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
