[opensuse] flashplayer in konqueror
by Konstantinos Georgokitsos 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hiall, I am usig OS 11.1 with KDE 4.2. when going to youtube (or any other video site) the video frame stays black right-clicking shows that Flash 10 is running but the about selection brings me to a generic page at adobe (not the "you are running flash xxx) and in the configuration I see that it is using /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so The site plays ok in Firefox (where I was not able to find out where it gets the plugin from. Right clicking and selecting about here reveals flash 10,0,15,3. any idea? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Recording BBC radio streams from Firefox
by michael norman 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

For some years I have been archiving BBC radio programmes using SUSE firefox and Audacity . This worked fine up until 10.3 (I skipped 11.0). I am aware of the issues with RealPlayer for 11.1 but I have been been able to use the RealPlayer generic rpm to access the programmes on both a 32bit and 64 bit install. The problem I find that although I can listen to both live and listen again on the listen again sites in firefox audacity will not record the stream. Using Konquerer it will do so.. I am using Firefox 3.0.6-1-x86_x86_64 I'd be grateful for advice on how to fix this.

[opensuse] OpenSUSE 11.1, Dell Latitude E4300 & Hibernate/Resume :-(
by Fabian Scheler 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hello everybody, I have some troubles regarding Hibernate/Resume on my Dell Latitude E4300. While hibernating works fine I resuming again does not :-( I guess that problem is somehow related to X as hibernate/resume on the text console works fine but as soon as I switch back to X the system completely freezes (no ping, no ssh, no mouse, nothing ...). The system also freezes when hibernating from X and resuming into X again. I know there are some issues regarding the intel drivers (the E4300 has a Intel GS45 chipset and thus Intel GMA X4500 graphics) but I read some "experience reports" on the web that told about working hibernate/resume. I friend of mine mentioned the i915 kernel module as possible source for that problem. That module, however, is not even loaded on my system. Hibernate/resume results in a froozen X with the following kernels: 2.6.27.{10,11,12,13} and 2.6.28.{0,1,2}. Has anybody observed similar problems? Any hints are appreciated! Ciao, Fabian Further information that might be helpful: I installed the latest packages from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Drivers:/Video/openSUSE_11.1 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Utilities/openSUSE_11.1 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.1 Attached you find my xorg.conf. I run a dual head configuration with a non-rectangular desktop (1280x800 + 1280x1024) and disabled DRI.

I'm on 11.0 and whenever I upgrade, I want to do a new install. But I want to install only the packages that I already have *and nothing more.* Is there a way to export the current package selection and import/use it for the next upgrade install ?

this morning I was trying to send my wife some documents. I opened an email window, opened the folder where the docs are located, and dragged them over to the email. when she got them, she called and said they were just text links. In checking what had happened, I saw that - indeed - the documents were not attached. file:///home/kai/Documents/lacrr/12-12-08 CEO IT Fund Project status reporting RRCC.pdf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problem loading site in Firefox
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hi, people Using Firefox 3.0.6 on openSuSE 11.1, I get the following error when I try to open http://www.velox.com.br : "Connection interrupted The connection to the server was restarted while loading the page. The network link was interrupted while negotiating the connection. Please, try again." This was translated from portuguese, so it may not be exactly in these words. However, I can open the site without problems using Konqueror or even using IE 6 running on Wine. Why can't I load the page in Firefox?

[opensuse] 3Com EtherLink 3C595-TX 10/100 PCI NIC
by David C. Rankin 04 Mar '09

Listmates, I don't usually pass on stuff like this, but this was pretty tempting for any admin out there that could use a few extra nics. ($8, free shipping) Volume discounts for 5+. Delete if you can't use it. http://www.gearxs.com/gearxs/product_info.php?products_id=2304 I've bought a bunch from this vendor with no problems. (sometimes you have to make sure you select the right shipping option -- but that is the worst I've seen) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Linux-compatible desktops
by Boris Epstein 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hello everyone, I am looking for PC's that are made for Linux (preferably, with emphasis on OpenSuSE) and certified as being Linux-compatible right out of the box. I found http://www.linuxcertified.com/ which does that for laptops, but I am also wondering if there is an equivalent for desktops. Thanks. Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
