[opensuse] how to put different wallpapers on each desktop.
by Scott Pancoast 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

In the preious version of SuSE I was using (10.3), I could set different wallpapers on each desktop. I can't find that option in SuSE 11.1 - Where did they move it to? ( I am running KDE 4.1, I think? ) Thanks Scott Pancoast CFCE, CPA ret.

[opensuse] openSuSE mirror network - Close to UNUSABLE - What's up?
by David C. Rankin 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Listmates, Prior to six months ago, if a package update or install threw an error because of a mirror time-out or other malady with the mirror system, it was a rare once-a-year occurrence. Lately, I can't even do a simple update without the mirror system blowing up 20 times. Something has got to get fixed. What was a bullet-proof SuSE system of package installs and updates has become so undependable you literally have to baby-sit each and every update. That's ridiculous. That's unacceptable. I used to kick-off remote updates with ssh host.domain.com 'sudo zypper up -t package' without hesitation, now it looks like the system has gone back to beta status. What is up with the mirror system? If I set up automatic updates in yast to run ... 'automatically'..., I end up with logs full of errors. That never used to happen. Is there something that can be done to fix this? Moreover, is this something that can be reported to bugzilla? Or, is this just something else that would receive the seemingly obligatory 'CLOSED INVA' response from Novell? No matter how you look at it something has gone dramatically downhill in the past 6 months to a year that we need to elevate to the proper people so it can get fixed. Christian, Stefan other opensuse guys, what is the proper direction to approach this one? Who is responsible for making sure the mirror system works in a reliable way? The most recent time-out calamity follows the signature. It is an update I started 7 hours ago that I am still trying to finish. For single repos, I can see just choosing a mirror and adding that as a source if, for example, the update mirrors are having problems, but I shouldn't have to do that for every repository just to be able to perform update. Let me know who to contact or where to file this so it will get the attention it needs. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hi, There is an incompatibility between the packages Qt Designer, kde4-marble. If kde4-marble is installed, designer does not work. Since I use much designer I need to remove the kde4-marble package, and unhappily I need also to remove kde4-digikam. When I try to run design it create the log file attached.

[opensuse] evolution connector to openoffice
by Teruel de Campo MD 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

ref: opensuse 11.1 kde 4.1.3 Openoffice does not have the connector to be able to use the evolution address database. It has for kmail iirc similar situation happens with 11 and then when I received the box version it was there. I ordered the box version last week so hope evolution connector is there. Does any of you have it? Just openoffice/File/wizards/Address data source and it should be there.

[opensuse] OpenSUSE 11.1, Dell Latitude E4300 & Sound :-(
by Fabian Scheler 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hello everybody, a couple of weeks ago I already told my woes regarding the same topic. The only difference: I used OpenSUSE 11.0 instead of 11.1. I hoped that my sound problems (I didn't have sound) just "go away" by upgrading to the newest OpenSUSE version - unfortunately this was not the case. I have the following problem: I do not have sound at all :-( there is nothing but silence ... My Laptop: Dell Latitude E4300 Chipset: Intel G45S Sound: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) I already tried the following things - I played with the sliders - I played with alsaconfig as root - I configured the sound device several times I also tried to uninstall pulseaudio completely, many KDE 4.2 packages, however, apparently depend on libpulse0, so a I can't uninstall that lib as I am using KDE 4.2 and I don't want to change this, as I like KDE 4.2. nothing ... The thing I am really curious about: (as with OpenSUSE 11.0) I compiled and installed a vanilla kernel (2.6.27.{10,11,12,13}) that I configured via 'make oldconfig' - with the kernel I compiled myself sound just works ... When I install a 2.6.28.{0,1,2} vanilla kernel I do not have sound, too. Is there something that breaks sound in the 2.6.28 kernel that has been backported to the OpenSUSE-kernel? I don't know what impact that libpulse0-package has, but I don't think it is the source of my problem, as sound shouldn't work with the vanilla kernel in that case. Has anybody observed similar problems in the meantime? I would really prefer to use the kernel that is shipped with OpenSUSE because of security fixes etc ... Where can I dig further? Any comment is appreciated! Ciao, Fabian Further information that might be helpful /etc/modprobe.d/sound: options snd-hda-intel model=laptop position_fix=1 options snd slots=snd-hda-intel # u1Nb.Q1mP6YkvExA:82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel dmesg | grep -i alsa yields no results -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] importing/moving openoffice user settings
by Istvan Gabor 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hello: I would like to use my openoffice 2.x user settings in openoffice 3. I installed openoffice latest stable version OpenOffice_org-3.0.0.3.6-1.1 on openSUSE 10.3. This created a .ooo3 for user settings. Previous openoffice stored the preferences in .ooo-2.0. I am not sure that I can simply copy/rename .ooo-2.0 to ooo3. What is the correct way to import previous user defined settings (templates, toolbars etc)into openoffice 3?

[opensuse] 11.1/KDE 4.2 Install - KDM gone
by Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hi, I had OpenSuSE 11.1 64-bit and KDE 3.5 (active) and KDE 4.1.3 (not used). After KDE 4.2 have been released, I have installed it (from factory repo). However, my KDM login screen have gone, and I cannot switch session to KDE 4.2. Oddly enough, after KDM fails, I can still start KDE 3.5 with "startx". Anyone have a clue what might go wrong?

Well My apache2 server will not display php web pages. If I try to load a page in my browser I get a message saying that (e.g.) index.php is a pdf file and asks what app would I like to open it with. I have apache2, php5 and mod_php5 installed but apache will not load a php5 page. /etc/sysconfig/apache2 has php5 set in APACHE_MODULES. mod_php5 is listed in /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf. The file conf.d/php5.conf. I had this working on 9.3 and 10.3 ut can't get it working on 1.1. What am I missing? Thanks!
