[opensuse] HP LJ4 complains about invalid font.
by Josef Wolf 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Hello, With 11.1, I have a hard time to get my postscript-capable HP laserjet-4M working reliably. For more than 10 years, I never had any problem to get it working with any distro I tried (including suse). With 11.1, I get a fine printout when I print the test page in yast's printer setup dialog. In addition, a2ps also prints without any problems. But with programs like firefox, the only result I get is a postscript error: ERROR: invalidfont OFFENDING COMMAND: show STACK: () Nothing else. I have tried to change the driver, but nothing seems to help. Any ideas? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OT: Movable Type and BasicAuth
by Ciro Iriarte 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Hi, anybody casually installed MT with basic apache2 authentication?, apparently I got everything right according to http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/developer/mtauth.html, the application disables its own login form, but doesn't grant access to the apache2 authenticated user...

Thanks! BTW: I wonder how the fix looks like, since I have the feeling that this is hard (impossible?) to fix without a race condition. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how to set/specify RAID metadata version in partitioner?
by PGNet 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

hi, OS's partitioner installs RAID with metadata superblock version 1.0, by default. from cmd line, i can easily create/install RAID with other versions -- e.g., "super 1.2". @install, however, using partitioner, how/where is the metadata version set? specifically, if i want to install with v1.2 -- where's that specified? i've likely missed an obvious setting ... :-/ thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.1 Sound
by Donald D Henson 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Can anyone point me to a strategy for setting up sound levels in OpenSUSE 11.1 so that the volume levels in various applications are approximately equal? As it stands, I get blasted by one app and I can't hear another one. A fix for this would make my ears very happy. -- Don Henson

[opensuse] Short of space on /boot
by Anton Aylward 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

My /boot is not under LVM so I can't grow it. I'm using GRUB. Back in the days of LILO I could just delete old kernel and edit LILO.conf ... What do I do to clean old kernels out of /boot and GRUB and not get things messed up? -- Almost all quality improvement comes via simplification of design,manufacturing, layout, processes, and procedures. -- Tom Peters -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Additional help info in bash
by Bogdan Cristea 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

New versions of openSuSE 11 came with an improved version of bash displaying some additional help, e.g. when someone tries to call a program not yet installed. This is indeed useful for the beginner, but is also quite slow and when you type by mistake something. Is there a way to disable this feature in bash ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.1 evolution and ICS calender in HTML formatted messages
by Roger Oberholtzer 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Should evolution be able to show calender events that are in HTML formatted messages? I see that our company has changed the default to format messages as such. So meeting invitations I get from co-workers no longer work as they did. I realize that this is perhaps a local issue - but I doubt I will be able to sway policy. The answer will be "Use Outlook"... Perhaps I am missing a plugin? I see that the calender part of the message looks similar as before - it is part of a mime message. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
