Hiall, I am usig OS 11.1 with KDE 4.2. when going to youtube (or any other video site) the video frame stays black right-clicking shows that Flash 10 is running but the about selection brings me to a generic page at adobe (not the "you are running flash xxx) and in the configuration I see that it is using /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so The site plays ok in Firefox (where I was not able to find out where it gets the plugin from. Right clicking and selecting about here reveals flash 10,0,15,3. any idea? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenSUSE 11.1, Dell Latitude E4300 & Hibernate/Resume :-(
by Fabian Scheler 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hello everybody, I have some troubles regarding Hibernate/Resume on my Dell Latitude E4300. While hibernating works fine I resuming again does not :-( I guess that problem is somehow related to X as hibernate/resume on the text console works fine but as soon as I switch back to X the system completely freezes (no ping, no ssh, no mouse, nothing ...). The system also freezes when hibernating from X and resuming into X again. I know there are some issues regarding the intel drivers (the E4300 has a Intel GS45 chipset and thus Intel GMA X4500 graphics) but I read some "experience reports" on the web that told about working hibernate/resume. I friend of mine mentioned the i915 kernel module as possible source for that problem. That module, however, is not even loaded on my system. Hibernate/resume results in a froozen X with the following kernels: 2.6.27.{10,11,12,13} and 2.6.28.{0,1,2}. Has anybody observed similar problems? Any hints are appreciated! Ciao, Fabian Further information that might be helpful: I installed the latest packages from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Drivers:/Video/openSUSE_11.1 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Utilities/openSUSE_11.1 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.1 Attached you find my xorg.conf. I run a dual head configuration with a non-rectangular desktop (1280x800 + 1280x1024) and disabled DRI.

[opensuse] How do I control power management CPU frequency scaling in OpenSUSE 11.1?
by John Lange 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

My Laptop CPU frequency scales even when plugged into AC power and I'd like to disable that feature. How do I do that in OpenSUSE 11.1? The "Power Management" tool in "Control Center" only has options for the display and suspend settings, nothing for the CPU (It used to be there didn't it?). The CPU frequency widget in the toolbar also does not have an option to disable scaling. I know I can probably echo something to /proc but I'm looking for the desktop GUI way, not the command line.

[opensuse] News Article - Re: Novell and openSUSE
by Kai Ponte 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10173667-16.html Novell's $340 million lifeline from Microsoft appears to be losing its potency. Although Microsoft originally gifted Novell $240 million to help fight Red Hat, and later added another $100 million to the pile, it doesn't seem to be enough to revive Novell's fortunes, as the company reported disappointing first-quarter earnings and a slide even in its Linux business, which had been growing fairly well. "The pipe fell apart," declared Novell CEO Ron Hovsepian, as The Register reports. That's an intriguing statement, as other open-source companies with which I work have seen their pipelines grow tremendously, as enterprises look to open source to save money and boost productivity through the downturn. Novell now plans to cut prices aggressively to increase its market share, according to Hovsepian. Part of the problem, however, is that Novell isn't really an open-source company, and it doesn't pretend to be one. Most of its revenue comes from proprietary software, and that software didn't deliver in the first quarter. -- kai www.perfectreign.com | www.ecmplace.com www.twitter.com/PerfectReign -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Listmates, I had asked earlier if fish was working under KDE4.2 and everyone said yes. Has anyone gotten it to work with quanta???

[opensuse] Simple mail server
by Manne Merak 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

We need a simple mailserver: POP3, IMAP, Simple web interface for off-site reading. Simple Web interface config (our Win IT guy must be able to use it :) Active Directory integration (not a deal-breaker, but again the Win IT guy will love to have it) I like Zimbra, but its a bit bulky and they decided to drop support for OpenSUSE in the future. Others looked at but either to complex to maintain or no useful config interfaces: KoLab, Scalix, OpenXchange, eGroupware Did I miss some? Im sure I did.

[opensuse] ctrl-alt-backspace in 10.3 vs. 11.1
by Henrik Schmiediche 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hello, I realize the ctrl-alt-backspace behavior changed in 11.0 where you need to hit ctrl-alt-backspace twice to kill the X server. In 10.3 when I ctrl-alt-backspace the X-server/KDM is killed and restarted, but in 11.1 when I hit ctrl-alt-backspace twice the X server/kdm just drops into console mode no X-server/kdm restart. Does anyone know how to get the old behavior back (X-server/kdm restart on ctrl-alt-backspace)? Where is this configured?
