[opensuse] Gnome - where to configure shade/unshade by mouse wheel on titlebar?
by David C. Rankin 20 Dec '09

20 Dec '09

Guys, I'm been using gnome a bit lately along with enlightenment and I kinda like gnome. Finding where all the settings are controlled (gconf,gnome-control-center, etc..) has been a challenge. I am stuck trying to figure out where or how I can configure the mouse-wheel to control shade/unshade when I am over the titlebar. Any gnome users out there know where this can be configured?? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] nvidia-legacy with gf4 mx 440se on openSUSE 11.2
by Mariusz Fik 20 Dec '09

20 Dec '09

I tried to install nvidia legacy driver. I downloaded legacy (96.43.14) from nvidia website, then installed as usual. After restart X crashes during start. All logs are under links (nopaste site). Then I found in google, that "nopat" option added to kernel boot line might help. And it helped, X starts fine. What this option does? And why was necessary to add it to kernel line? Is it possible to fix suse kernel to make installing nvidia-legacy driver (even from repo) easily & smooth? nvidia-bug-report → http://wklej.org/id/239658/ Xorg.0.log → http://wklej.org/id/239654/ -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards, Mariusz Fik, openSUSE Community Member

Hello, What is the best way to set up a slave dns server? I have a master running, but I am curious if there is a quick way to import zones from the master to the slave. Thank you for your help.

[opensuse] architecture change using zypper
by sc 20 Dec '09

20 Dec '09

i have 32-bit oS 11.2 KDE 4.3.1 installed on a machine that can do 64-bit, and the performance is less than stellar i installed by downloading the 32-bit iso, burned it to DVD, and used it to boot/install (upgrading a 10.3 suse) i want to try with a 64-bit kernel, and with the newer KDE 4.3.4 now in STABLE, but i'm not sure how to get there from here when you download and burn the DVD from oS you get to choose between 32 and 64-bit, but looking at the repos i don't see a way to choose i had thought i could use zypper to remove repos, and add 64-bit repos, and perform a zypper dup to upgrade to 64-bit, but the repo URIs have no indication for architecture can i do this with zypper or do i have to upgrade using the 64- bit DVD? any help will be appreciated sc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I tried to run openSUSE as the only OS, but no-go. I still need Windows Games. This is very dependent upon your needs. If Linux can cover your needs, then good, if not, then you need Windows too... -- -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OT: linux on a rock club
by Rikard Johnels 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

Forgive me if this is WAY OT. A number of years ago i was investigating ways of setting up disk less machines for a project i had. I stumbled on to a web page from a guy that opened a rock club in (i think it was) Canada or US. the page nicely described the construction of both club, and server/clients on the computer system. It was complete with scripts, software and stuff. The pages themselves sported web cam coverage of the club 24/7, descriptions of the various permits needed to run a club, play music late hours, and serving alcohol. Does anyone know if those pages still exist? -- /Rikard Johnels

[opensuse] Fwd: Broadcom 1397 wireless card
by Fr David Ousley 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

I'm installing 11.2 on a new Dell Inspirion laptop with a Broadcom 1397 wireless minicard, which I cannot get to work. Hardware list (in Yast) shows: Hardware Class: network Model: "Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card" Vendor: pci 0x14e4 "Broadcom" Device: pci 0x4315 "BCM4312 802.11b/g" SubVendor: pci 0x1028 "Dell" SubDevice: pci 0x000c "Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card" Revision: 0x01 Driver: "b43-pci-bridge" Driver Modules: "ssb" Memory Range: 0xf69fc000-0xf69fffff (rw,non-prefetchable) IRQ: 17 (no events) Module Alias: "pci:v000014E4d00004315sv00001028sd0000000Cbc02sc80i00" Driver Info #0: Driver Status: ssb is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe ssb" Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #23 (PCI bridge) iwconfig however shows "no wireless extensions", and Yast Network devices shows only the wired ethernet card. I tried entering the card information manually in Yast, but this did not get it recognized or functioning. It seems like it is not being recognized enough to configure. The "Tracking Down Wireless Problems" indicates the need for firmware for this card, and (according to instructions) I ran "/usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware", which said it did so successfully. After reboot, no change. I made sure that the wireless care is turned on by the Bios. This is a dual boot with Windows 7, and the card works in windows. What should I try next? (I'm an end-user and not a techie, though I've been running Suse for five years on my desktop, and Unix/Xenix before that, so I know enough to get into trouble!) Thanks in advance.
