[opensuse] YAST style in oS 11.2
by Istvan Gabor 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hello: I tried to set YAST to use both gtk and qt style and found that the two styles are very similar. What annoys me most is that even in qt style all the options are located in one big window with scrollbar. This makes for me more difficult to find given items. In earlier versions options belonging to given categories were separated into different windows. Is it possible to change this similar to the old behavior, ie. selecting one category would show only the corresponding options in the corresponding window, not all the options in one big window?

[opensuse] Need to add an init script
by Ruben Safir 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hello I need to add an init script to the /etc/rc.d directory to run on init 3 and init 5 for my DHCPD server. I try to add it /etc/rc.d/ and replaced the dhcpd script there and then created a line to /etc/init/rc3.d/S03dhcpd and /etc/init/rc3.d/K03dhcpd, but it doesn't seem to be seen on reboot or when I drop it down to init 1 and then back up to init 3 I also want to run two lines to the network initiation and the /etc/rc.d/network script is just such a cludge now, I can't seem to find a place to add it to that script...so I'd like to just get around it by adding another script file to add my customization after the networking is up.

[opensuse] openSUSE on TouchSmart Tablet
by Jason Riker 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Howdy, Folks! I was wondering if anyone had installed openSUSE 11.2 on an HP TouchSmart Tablet (tx2-1375dx)? I’m a little gun-shy and thought I’d ask on this list before doing it myself. ☺ Thanks all.

The security question there > also remains unanswered - the same as here I have to say. I don't really understand your concern. As long as (some) user can install things as root, they can install malware. It's nearly impossible to have an heuristic detecting malware before they do they (bad) job. Fact is AFAIK such malware are very qhickly detected and removed when they come and never spread the world (like shows the thread that was quoted here) what do you want more? jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
