I don't know what is contrib :-( but openSUSE and the build service can only accomodate free software (opensource), when Pacman can also hold soft with different licences jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412160445 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Sun JRE / JDK 6u12 Via The openSUSE Update Repository?
by Randall R Schulz 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

Hi, I'm not certain about the policy for upgrading 3rd-party, non-OSS packages such as the Sun Java packages. Will update 12 of the Java SE 6 software be released via the openSUSE update repository for openSUSE 11.1?

I don't know if it's related, but I can't compile the virtualbox module (non ose version, I need USB) on an install (11.1) with xen kernel first error is: echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \ echo " include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing."; \ echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \ but running this don't fix the problem jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412160445 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How do I make KDE 4 work and look like KDE3
by Robert Smits 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

The subject line says it all. What can I do when installing KDE4 to make it work and look as much as possible like KDE3.5. I'd like to find menus in the places I expect, I want to use Konqueror, etc. Does anyone have a "cheat" sheet that tells us how to do this?

[opensuse] Zattoo on openSUSE 11.1

Anybody had any luck with running Zattoo (online tv) on openSUSE 11.1? It just freezes on start after I accept the license agreement. I can see two non-interactive windows that just sit there. mD@stranger:~/.Zattoo/Data/logs> zattoo_player zattoo_player: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3: no version information available (required by zattoo_player) 01:48:02 PM 02/16/2009 [MSG] Current locale is en_US.UTF-8 01:48:02 PM 02/16/2009 [MSG] Welcome to Zattoo (3.3.2.20318) 01:48:02 PM 02/16/2009 [MSG] Further log messages will be written to /home/mD/.Zattoo/Data/logs/zattoo.debuglog Yes, I have created a symlink from libcurl.so.3 to 4.1.0 log files: http://skxpl.eu.org/pliki/zattoo-logs/ -- skx. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] MS Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000
by Constantinos Maltezos 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

I have one of the keyboards mentioned in the subject. According to everything I've read, it should work perfectly (excluding the zoom thing and maybe one or two other extra keys) with openSUSE 11. However, since I got this keyboard 7 months ago, I've had to select a different model in yast/sax because if I choose this model from the list, certain obvious keys like Page Up and Page Down no longer work. And with that or any of the other keyboard models, anything but the standard keys comes up as NoSymbol in xev. I tried digging through the xkb files, but they are so complicated I figured I'd ask for help before I continue down that route. In the time since I've had this, I've tried a number of things to fix this and I have to ask: does Xmodmap mean nothing any more? It doesn't seem to do a damn thing either in /etc/X11 or as .xmodmap in my home directory. So anyway, why would this keyboard model work in everyone's installation but mine? What the crap did I do (and yes, I'm fully prepared for this to be entirely my fault)? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
