[opensuse] XMMS as Firefox helper app -- Revisited
by Stan Goodman 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Actually, I found that it was possible to make XMMS the player for the necessary mime-types without touching the mplayer plugin (which anyway I would not have known how to do). Changing PLS streams to XMMS didn't work until I made the same change also for the MP3 mime-type. Changing OGG-Vorbis to XMMS didn't work until I made the same change also for the M3U mime-type. The mplayer plugin remains intact. --------Original Message from Stan Goodman, 25Mar2009-------- openSuSE v10.3; Firefox v3.05; XMMS v1.2.11 I would like Firefox to play streamed music through XMMS, and I have set up *.pls for XMMS. Music continues to be played through the MPlayer plugin. I intend to cause other audio streams also to play through XMMS. How can I cause XMMS to be the active helper this stream type, without crippling the existing MPlayer plugin? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

It worked for me. Try this:open the file /etc/cups/client.conf and add the content "ServerName localhost". If the file does not exist, create it. I hope this helps.

26 Mar '09

I didn't read audio cd in my laptop recently. However I do various work with video without sound problem (including reading video dvd), so sound works. Now I write audio files (wav) to a cd with k3b.

Same with professional audio cd (no sound) even, with Konq, Konqueror opens the cd, show wav and mp3, but only extracts noize from the tracks (blank tracks) any idea? openSUSE 11.1 thanks 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

Hi, I'm trying to create shared raw devices on opensuse 10.3. 1) I created raw partitions but when i try #raw -qa i receive the mentioned error. I tried all options but does not work. 2) I would like to know how to check / access raw partitions from a different system within the network. may be some example commands to view raw partitions from system 2 I created 5 logical partitions (under the extended partitions option on my second hard drive) of 150M each with fdisk /dev/sdb and i created the binding file as well. Any help is extremely appreciated. Newbie.

[opensuse] Printing Problem with Maple12 on Suse11.0
by Dave Feustel 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

I just installed Maple 12 on 64-bit Suse 11.0 and everything worked great until I tried to print. All attempts to print in Maple result in a "No printer service found" message, although printing works for OpenOffice 2.4 and pdf files via lp command. Googling I found this to be already known problem apparently fixed by replacing the Java Support in Maple 12 with Suse 12 Java files. I checked the Maple FAQ; the suggested workaround does not work and I submitted a support request to Maplesoft. Does anyone have any more info about how to fix this problem? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] VNC Issue Resolved w/ OpenSUSE 11.1
by George Sexton 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

I've been having some problems using the VNC server with OpenSUSE 11.1. I could connect to the VNC server, but I got an X11 mesh background with no login prompt. After searching and not finding much useful information, I found the problem. Looking at the command line in the xinetd.d/vnc file, there is an argument "-query localhost". When I changed the argument to "-broadcast" things started working. For fun, I changed the line to "-query 127.0.0.1" and that worked as well. This put me on the right track. Examining the file /etc/hosts, there are entries: 127.0.0.1 localhost # special IPv6 addresses ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback If I take "localhost" from the IPv6 line of the /etc/hosts file, then VNC works as expected. I changed this back and forth a few times, and confirmed that changing this entry resolved the issue. -- George Sexton MH Software, Inc.

26 Mar '09

hi all, Just printed out the latest set of documentation. I was pleased to see that the security manual is allready over 250 pages. Good! However i was surprised to see that openVPN got quite some attention, while ipsec got none at all.. Intentionally or is that "todo", left for next verion?? hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox - how to get it to open c source file as a text file in firefox??
by David C. Rankin 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

List, Firefox is outsmarting itself again. I want to open a simple text file (c++ source file) named mycols.cc. When I click on it in Firefox, it asks me to open in emacs, or save, etc. If I set the helper application for c++ files to firefox, firefox blows up trying to open the file when it goes into a loop and tries to open 1000 tabs. So, what's the trick? Wolfgang? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
