Sorry being late getting back to you Jim, but the real world called. The way I do it when I need to add a repo from a mirror is just to go to the mirror in your web browser and get to the place where you see the i586, repodata and , x86_64 directories, then either right-click and 'copy link location' or just cut and paste the address from the browser into the command line like: zypper ar http://cut&pasted_link In the links you gave above, if you go there in your browser you get: [home_dgege_fprint] name=fprint project (openSUSE_10.3) type=rpm-md baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dgege:/fprint/openS… gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dgege:/fprint/openSU… enabled=1 That's the repo data not the address you need. You should have grabbed: http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/dgege:/fprint/openSUSE_… and done zypper ar http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/dgege:/fprint/openSUSE_… drege That would have added the repo correctly for you ;-) -- David C.

[opensuse] Disabling Firefox 3.0 embedded mp3 player
by Myrosia Dzikovska 01 Feb '09

01 Feb '09

I have opensuse 11.0 clean install, with Firefox 3.0.5. I want to use amarok for all mp3 files. For the most part, it works. I configured the mp3 files to be played through amarok through edit->preferences->applications But certain pages have code that brings up something else. The way it looks in html is a href="http://echo.msk.ru/snd/2009-01-30-personalno-1908.mp3" onclick="return false;" When I click on such links, instead of using Amarok, it shows a small player with tiny controls embedded into the page. I cannot figure why it does it, and how to change this behavior. I have no extensions installed except for a gmail notifier and nosquint (which does text zoom). My only plugins are java, flash and adobe reader. Is there some other configuration setting that I am missing?

[opensuse] Unlock keyring for Remote Desktop
by Aditya Bhiday 01 Feb '09

01 Feb '09

Hi, Whenever I want to use Remote Desktop for the first time after a system bootup, there is a pop up asking for the password to unlock the keyring to verify the vnc password. Hence, everytime I need to physically go to the machine and give it the password before I can view the desktop remotely. How do I disable this popup and allow direct remote access?
