I don't know the Samsung printers at all, but have been a happy owner of an Epson AccuLaser1100n for about 3 years, and it works nicely together with oS 10.3 - 11.0 - 11.2 and CentOS 5. When it comes to toner, no they don't runs empty at the same time, at least very seldom. As Anton mentioned, look around for the toner, I would think you can save as much as 30% by doing so. With my printer I have sometimes been able to buy a box with all 4 colors in one for the prize of less than 3 regular single packs. www.inkclub.com sometimes have good deals. -- Greeting Joel Young Norway -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi all, Could you please someone give me a tip where can I find an understandable description of the configuration of DHCP in order to automatically login upon bootup? Login via browser by givin login/passwd simply drives me crazy and takes a long time.

[opensuse] Re: protecting online images
by jdd-gmane 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

some report on my tests. No gallery programm is really good. The main problem they have is not related to protection (for this Gallery do the job, inserting a random part in the filename also probably), but no Gallery programm I tested was able to cope with pre-existing uploaded images. I have 80Gb of original photos and this mean more than 10 days continuous upload on 1Mb (up) dsl connexion. can't be done several times! Gallery (2 & 3) *copy* each image to it's proprietary folder - not an option for such big data. Can't upload more than 2Mb files and I have 15Mpix photo camera... Piwigo makes the best work, keeping high def photos and the other sizes in different folders easy to identify (and probably linkable - not yet tested) Digikam (export) creates various mixes between images sizes (thumbnails mixed with full size) and sometimes changes the image name to something completely différent making them unrecognisable... I work with the piwigo team and will report if ever a solution is found :-) 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

Guys, We are about to use Ruby, and I see that on openSUSE 11.1 the lastest is 1.8.7, but we are being asked to install Ruby on Rails 2.3.2, what's the difference? Is Ruby on Rails something different that Ruby? -- ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

[opensuse] ksmserver not found
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

After my last zypper up I got some processes running using deleted files. I rebooted and was not admitted into KDE because ksmserver could not be found. The information was completed with the sentence 'check your installation" Yast did not find any irregularity, zypper ps reported that no deleted files. Read the dmesg and had a look into /var/log/messages. Found following problems but I am not closer to a solution.

[opensuse] Dual booting with Windows - 2 partitions on a single drive
by Bob Williams 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop, which is running Windows Vista Home Premium. The machine has a single drive, 250Gb. I would like to install openSUSE 11.2 alongside the Windows OS, so that I can dual boot, but I would like to hear of other people who have already done this without any mishaps. Or maybe I want to hear from those who did have mishaps, and how they overcame them. I have done the process of installing linux after Windows before, and YaST looked after me all the way, but about six months ago I tried to impress a friend, and ended up with an unbootable machine - the BIOS reported 'no operating system found'. I know that both operating systems were installed in their respective partitions, and the problem was something to do with grub writing into the MBR, which upset Windows Vista :( I have googled to a few forums, where I have found howtos, and I have read the HowTo on the openSUSE site which describes installing openSUSE alongside Windows, but onto separate hard drives. Any pointers would be welcome. Meanwhile, I'm defragmenting Windows, in preparation for resizing its partition. Y'see, I'm committed ;) TIA, Bob -- Registered Linux User #463880 FSFE Member #1300 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 11.2, Kernel 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop, KDE 4.3.3 Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz, 4GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 9200GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I'm curious as to how you managed to get the Fat32 partition to mount on the "My Documents" folder. I end up redoing too many Win based PC's and going back to restore all that data, when it would be mucho handy to just have it write to a separate partition in the first place. And how graceful is Windows if it cannot access that partition at startup? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Keyboard shortcuts priority
by Bogdan Cristea 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Is there a way to specify the priority of keyboard shortcuts when the same key sequence is assigned to start an application and to trigger a specific action in a running process ? Example: CTRL+ALT+C is assigned to start Google Chrome, but in Eclipse the same sequence is used for "Commit ..." action. When the Eclipse window is active and the above sequence is used, Google Chrome is started. In my opinion, in this situation (Eclipse window active) it makes more sense to give a higher priority to the key sequence triggering the "Commit ..." action. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No sound in Banshee or Amarok
by Allan Dreyer Andersen 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Hi guys No matter what I do I can't get any sound from Banshee or Amarok. I have followed this page (found on openSUSE Wiki): http://www.justuber.com/blog/2007/02/09/mp3-on-opensuse-5-minute-fix/ Need to mention that I had to create folder /opt/gnome/lib/gstreamer-0.10 as it didn't exist. I've tried any possible sound combination in Amarok where in Sound output / Music I have: HDA Intel CONEXANT Analog PulseAudio In Enigne I have: Xine GStreamer But no matter how I try to any combination I don't get any sound when using Amarok. There's no problem if I fire up for VLC and put on a MP3 or a video file. What have I missed? I'm on openSuse 11.2 using Packman and have done all updates. Thanks a lot for your time. --- Venlig hilsen / Best regards Allan Dreyer Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
