[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.

[opensuse] where to place the library glib
by Maura Monville 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

I am brushing up my C coding capability ... if any (???) I started up with a stand-alone simple program (see attachment) hich I compile through one simple command line. The compiler cannot resolve the include statement about elements that belong to glib, no matter how I reshuffle such statements (error messages pasted at the bottom of this message). Since an assistant professor and I installed the glib in such a way as to make the undocumented code, developed by a student who left some months ago, work somehow ... I am afraid we messed up the glib installation so that instead of having its pieces stored in the standard system files its pieces were spread elsewhere therefore the gcc compiler cannot find them. My question is: where is the glib expected to be installed by default (as gcc expects) ? How can I make up for the mess we did ? I mean, shall I un-install glib (how) and then reinstall it again following the standard pathway ?

[opensuse] 11.2 nvidia drivers
by lynn 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

Will 11.2 have a Nvidia repository? I have RC2 KDE live running from a USB stick and no Nvidia repo shows. Yast doesn't show anything about screen resolution either and I'm stuck at 800x600 using sax2. Everything else looks excellent. Thanks.
