[opensuse] rsyncable source and debug package repos for 11.1
by Hans-Peter Jansen 13 May '09

13 May '09

Hi, for some reason, I need rsyncable source and debug package repos for 11.1. Unfortunately, gwdg.de doesn't provide them anymore. Eberhard told me, that SUSE master server doesn't provide the necessary resources :-(. The .de mirrors I tried, didn't provide rsyncable targets either. How do I solve my problem?

[opensuse] cannot build RPMs
by Shawn Protsman 06 May '09

06 May '09

After getting a fresh install of 11.1 I'm unable to build any RPMs. It bombs in the %prep stage. I checked the differences between 'rpm' files between my 11.0 and 11.1 box and noticed that I have devel_rpm_build on 11.0 but not 11.1.

[opensuse] A good partition resize strategy?
by Verner Kjærsgaard 03 May '09

03 May '09

Hi list I've got an openSuSE11 installed on a vmwaremachine, with a number of partitions. The root partition (/), however, is too small. I need to xfer the vmware image to another vmware machine, this time making room for - and increasing the size of the root partition. Any good strategy, hints?

[opensuse] Realplayer not playing??
by David C. Rankin 03 May '09

03 May '09

Listmates, Our local public radio station transmitter is down and I was trying to get the audio stream to play in realplayer on openSuSE 11.0, but nothing would play. I chose amarok and all is playing fine. The stream I wanted to listed to can be found here in both .pls and .m3u format: http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/rrr/ppr/index.shtml Is realplayer broken? Can anyone else get the .pls or .m3u streams to play in realplayer? (you get a bit of culture as well, it's classical until 3:00 pm CDT. or 2000 UTC (zulu)) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Exporting KMail folders etc, Revisited
by Stan Goodman 02 May '09

02 May '09

I had begun a thread recently in which I tried to find a good way to carry over my KMail structure from v10.3-KDE3 to v11.1-KDE4, as-is (as closely as possible). This did not seem to be as easy and straightforward a process as I might have hoped. But in the meantime I have come to believe that KDE4 (at least in its present state) is not for me (at least in my own present state) and that I would be better off sticking with KDE3. It seems to me therefore that the most straightforward way to proceed is simply to carry over my home directory from the v10.3 installation to a new v11.1 installation. Because the intent is to retain the existing v10.3 installation on one HD, and put the new v11.1 on another one, my conception of how to do this safely is as follows. I would be exceedingly grateful for any comments that might show up potential pitfalls or misunderstandings. 1) I would set up clean root and home partitions for the new v11.1 using DFSee. 2) Working from the existing v10.3, I would install ext3 on the home partition and mount that partition v10.3. 3) As though I were backing up the v10.3 home partition, I simply copy it in toto to the partition newly made to be the v11.1 home partition. 4) Finally I install v11.1 on the root partition prepared for it, defining the newly populated partition as it /home, and instruct that this /home partition not be formatted. To me, this looks like the perfect way to proceed, and it should leave me with a new system very much like the old one, although there would no doubt be a few apps that need to be replaced. Is there any problem with this?

[opensuse] "Network Sound"
by Randall R Schulz 02 May '09

02 May '09

Hi, I now routinely use two computers (both running openSUSE 11.1, both on x86 hardware, though entirely distinct in details) but have only one set of speakers. I would like to have one of these systems send its sound output to the other system rather than to its own sound hardware. I gather this is possible, but haven't been able to find much information on how to exploit the capability. Could someone give me the outline of setting something like this up or point me to some informational materials?
