[opensuse] Repo confusion
by Bob S 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

Hello SuSE people. Have some confusion about repos. Running 11.1 with KDE4.2 Of course that means Factory. Now, I want nvidia and mozilla also to keep the distro up to date. The only place to find them is in "Build Service". Is that the proper repo for them? I thought "Build Service" was a "special" place. not a regular download repo. Right or wrong?

[opensuse] systray icons
by Craig Bell 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

Since openSUSE 11.0 (now on 11.1 with KDE 4.2) I've noticed the icons in the system tray seem to be corrupted, or else not refreshed correctly. For instance, when I get the Yast Updater icon that tells me I have security updates, it goes to an orange or red triangle. Following the update, the SUSE green icon is overlaid on the previous icon, but the orange/red shows around the edges. Other icons do not get properly displayed, or not displayed at all. Any ideas? If this is a bug, where should I open a bug report? Thanks! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 2 problems - Adding Desktop Icon / Widget - Open With database
by ka1ifq 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

I have a program I use that does not create an 'Icon' on the screen and I wish to make one but am not sure how with this version OpenSuse 11.0 w/ KDE 4.0.4 (rel 15.2), It seems that everything is 'widget' related. I pointer to some reading on this is welcome. I know I probably messed this up, but, when I add something to the 'open with' and save it I get the same problem next time, looks as if the info is not getting saved, where / how can I fix this? Thanks, Mike. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Eclipse 64bit hangs for about 20 seconds when opening file for edit
by Anton Moiseev 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

I have 64 bit opensuse 11.0 on notebook with 2,5 gb of ram. Java 1.6.0_11, 64 bit When I try to open source file in eclipse, it hangs with waiting cursor for about 20 seconds before it opens it - then it works just fine with no speed problems. Also if I have already opened some file during current session and switch back to its tab, it opens immediately - only new files cause the problem. Other parts of interface work perfectly with no lags. I have 64 bit eclipse 3.4 from eclipse.org, before that had 3.3 from repository. Is there a way to somehow fix this? thank's -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
