[opensuse] DICE manager in 11.1
by Christopher Dick 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

I have recently been told to begin using a departmental Sharepoint resource for documentation. Since DICE is in 11.1, I thought I would give it a shot. I followed the directions as shown on the DICE page at opensuse.org: http://en.opensuse.org/DICE However, when I right-click on the DICE manager tray icon, all I get is "About" and "Quit." There is no login option or anything else. Did I miss something perhaps? Or is there some step that isn't in the wiki instructions? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

[opensuse] OpenSUSE mailing list netiquette improvements.
by Rajko M. 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

We have this http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_mailing_list_netiquette to improve user experience. To goal is to make archives source of information, not garbage collectors. What can make archives useful? - no offtopic discussions + no answers on OT topics - no excessive quoting IMHO, sparse few words, to mark paragraph, should be enough. What can make list friendly? - posting style with interleaved answers - or bottom posting What else? -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kmix & Konq problems after upgrade
by ka1ifq 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

I was having some trouble launching applications to look at email attachments. It was recomended that I update my Kmail which involved updating Kde (Version 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1) "release 103"). I can now launch OOimpress from Kmail but Kmix will not open to adjust volume and when I try to launch Konq it gets a Fatal Error and (SIGSEGV). Did I miss something with the update / upgrade ??

[opensuse] Problems with Romanian diacritics
by Dominique Leuenberger 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Good day everybody (especially Silviu, you might have seen it too!), We just ran in a very bad issue here. In Romanian, there are some diacritics, like s and t with some 'sign' under (don't ask me how they are called ;) ) Now there is something like a 'keyboard driver issue' I assume. Simple test: open OO.org, font Times New Roman. Type some text with diacritics (I only found s and t to be error prone so far). Save your file, preferrably in .doc format (for the next step to be easier). Now it get's nasty (you need a windows / winword). Open the file you just created in Winword. All the s and t with diacritics have been replaced with 'squares'. Next: change (in winword) the font to Tahoma. s and t appear (on first sight you would say correct). So what went wrong? So somewhere there must be a problem, no? Let's take it a bit further: Keep your font on Tahoma (on winword) and now next to the s and t which we 'imported' from openOffice, type on your windows a s and t (with diacritics of course). Looks the same? Look closer! Zoom if nescessary! It get's apparent, that the Romanian keyboard driver actually put's the wrong character in place there. The differece: Linux puts a t (or s) with a small, non-connected diagonal line under the letter. The correct diacritic would be a 'rounded' shape under (like in french under the c)... it should look like the lower part of the number 5. So a nasty bug hidden somewhere in the Keyboard driver(s) for Romanian I assume. (It's pretty irrelevant what application you use.. it's always 'wrong' on Linux). And this of course causes very bad interoperability between Linux and Windows DOCs. Next of course, I'll file a bug report with this content... I hope I have ANY chance to get this fixed.

However, if the disk has to be shared with other operating systems, it is often a good idea to let an fdisk from another operating system make at least one partition. When Linux boots it looks at the partition table, and tries to deduce what (fake) geometry is required for good cooperation with other systems." 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
