[opensuse] installing packages
by Pol (Admin) 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

I have just installed opensuse 11.1 I cannot install any new software, since the 'install software' utility does not start. I have tried to get kpackage from the suse web site, to be installed by 'rpm -i', but it requires a library (kde4-kpackage-4.2.0-28.20.i586) with a version that is not available. Any hints?

[opensuse] News Article - Re: Novell and openSUSE
by Kai Ponte 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10173667-16.html Novell's $340 million lifeline from Microsoft appears to be losing its potency. Although Microsoft originally gifted Novell $240 million to help fight Red Hat, and later added another $100 million to the pile, it doesn't seem to be enough to revive Novell's fortunes, as the company reported disappointing first-quarter earnings and a slide even in its Linux business, which had been growing fairly well. "The pipe fell apart," declared Novell CEO Ron Hovsepian, as The Register reports. That's an intriguing statement, as other open-source companies with which I work have seen their pipelines grow tremendously, as enterprises look to open source to save money and boost productivity through the downturn. Novell now plans to cut prices aggressively to increase its market share, according to Hovsepian. Part of the problem, however, is that Novell isn't really an open-source company, and it doesn't pretend to be one. Most of its revenue comes from proprietary software, and that software didn't deliver in the first quarter. -- kai www.perfectreign.com | www.ecmplace.com www.twitter.com/PerfectReign -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is this still the case with openSuSE kde4? [Fwd: Re: [Quanta] upload profile passwords]

Listmates, I had asked earlier if fish was working under KDE4.2 and everyone said yes. Has anyone gotten it to work with quanta???

[opensuse] Partition imaging program(s)

Ghost is on Hiren's BootCD. (From an earlier message - Allen Zhu). What version of Ghost do you use ? Can it (Norton Ghost) properly backup and restore ext3 --> ext3 partitions ? What about ext3 --> NTFS partitions ? I am an old Ghost user & use a NG 2003 DOS Boot CD to backup & restore NTFS <---> partitions on Windows system (dual-boot openSUSE 11.1 & Windows XP Prof). I have not used Ghost for ext3 partition image backup, though have been using it regularly for NTFS --> NTFS (Windows) partition backup. For Linux, I have tried partimage, but that will not image an ext3 --> NTFS (it can save the ext3 partn. image to NTFS partition, but from some posts at the partimage Forums, it seems there are problems in restoring the image to ext3, if the image is saved to an NTFS partition). Are there any other programs (other than Norton Ghost & partimage) that can image a Linux partition to NTFS) and restore from image properly ? Most of the free space on my HD's is on NTFS partitions.

[opensuse] Plan for building Compiz 0.8 rpms XGL v. Compiz repo
by David C. Rankin 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

J., List: Does openSuSE know if it will be building compiz 0.8 rpms and, if so, will there be builds with and without nomad in the X11/Compiz and X11/XGL repositories, respectively? The compiz team has been doing great work while navigating the normal troubled-waters that come with maturity and I was just curious if we will get rpms to be able to see the latest. If there isn't a plan for building them yet, I would suggest continuing the process of building the X11/XGL set *without* nomad to get around the emerald issue and then building with nomad in the X11/Compiz repository as usual. That seems to work fine. If there are rpms that need testing, just drop a note to the list and I would be happy to test before 0.8 is released into the repositories where it will be pulled in with a package update. Also, if testing of 0.8 shows incompatibilities with current features, etc., could we get a README or release notes dropped in the repositories to give a heads-up on any gotchas? Thanks. -- David C.

[opensuse] Simple mail server
by Manne Merak 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

We need a simple mailserver: POP3, IMAP, Simple web interface for off-site reading. Simple Web interface config (our Win IT guy must be able to use it :) Active Directory integration (not a deal-breaker, but again the Win IT guy will love to have it) I like Zimbra, but its a bit bulky and they decided to drop support for OpenSUSE in the future. Others looked at but either to complex to maintain or no useful config interfaces: KoLab, Scalix, OpenXchange, eGroupware Did I miss some? Im sure I did.
