[opensuse] Panels in 11.2
by Stan Goodman 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

As far as I can see, it is possible to add only applets to panels in v11.2, not applications. Have I missed something? If I have not, is there a way to replace this new version of panels with the kind that came with KDE3? I'm accustomed to keeping applications in a second panel; applets intereste me much less. -- 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] Samba sources for OS 11.1
by Koenraad Lelong 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hi, I'm looking for the sources of samba, stock version of opensuse 11.1, either tarball or src.rpm. I seem unable to find them. I know I can download the latest version from the samba-site, but to do some evaluation of a samba-vfs I would like the opensuse version delivered with 11.1, AFAIK that's now 3.2.7-11.4.1. Maybe better : someone has a "scannedonly"-rpm for that version of samba ? -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.2 install images
by Roger Oberholtzer 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Some openSUSE releases ago, I came across image dumps of the various stages of installing openSUSE. They had names like 04_DiskPartitions.png, showing the install screen at that point. Are these images still made for openSUSE releases? I looked on the DVD image and did not find them. I do not remember where they came from in the past... -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] factory versions on kde4.3.4
by lynn 14 Dec '09

Hi I'd like to try the new krita which is in factory but yast wants to install most of factory to resolve dependencies. I have kde from this repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE%3a/43/openSUSE_11.2/ Is there any way can do this without changing to factory?

[opensuse] sensors-detect not showing my sensors in 11.2
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Having used gkrellm since suse version 6 I am now without indications about voltage, fan speed and temperatures as lm-sensors does not detect my sensors. Have copied the lm-sensors config from the 11.1 version which ran flawlessly but still no sensors shown. I still get the message: No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-detect to find out which these are. What am I missing? Man pages did not give an answer. About what kernel drivers they are talking? sensors-detect was dumb on this question ;(. ------- Powered by openSUSE 11.2 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop KDE: 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 6" 16:37pm up 20:43, 3 users, load average: 1.01, 0.92, 0.76 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Most open source applications are obtained *from the distribution itself* wich is the more secure system, or from the authors account (often from sourceforge) what makes it very easy to notify the author and/or the community in case of problem.

It's not possible. However, if you keep using only the distro, you have little chance of having problems.
