[opensuse] Fuse Mount Current Directory - Unmount How?
by John Andersen 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Konqueror (3.5.10) will offer to Fuse Mount a samba/windows share into a user's directory tree (if fuse and fusesmb are installed). This option appears on the Tools menu if all the right pieces are installed. And it allows users to mount a shared remote directory right into their working directory (in a subdirectory called fusemounts) However there appears no easy way to Umount this once mounted (without resorting to the command line). (I can't see that Dolphin offers FUSE Mount at all, and under KDE4. It does not appear in the Kong menu under KDE4 either. I sometimes get the feeling kong filemanager mode is just Dolphin in disguise in KDE4). -- ----------JSA--------- Someone stole my tag line, so now I have this rental. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Nvidia 32bit openSuSE11.1, is this info usefull?
by Verner Kjærsgaard 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi list, - just for the record - yesterday I received great help from this list with my nvidia problems. I finally got my new nvidia version 180.44 running. - today, I needed to install SUN's latest and greatest JAVA 1.6update13 JRE with browserplugin and all. I used YaST for that. I noticed, however, that YaST absolutely wanted to (as a dependency) to install Nvidia 180.some-old-orignal-yast-version !! I had no choice but to let it do so. I did NOT reboot, my JRE/plugin worked fine. I went home and (hence) rebooted sure enought, a blank black screen, no X and so. So I checked modules and all, and yes, nvidia conflict just like yesterday. So I used zypper as instructed and rebuilt nvidia. Rebooted and I'm up and flying again. All is ok. Now...should YaST include the nvidia stuff when installing SUN/JRE? Best regards, Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] USB Mic
by bdgreen2005 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi, Can anybody advise me how to set-up a USB mike to work with Skype? The Mic is a Logitech Desktop Digital Microphone - USB (i.e. AK5370). The Mic appears on a "AK5370" tab in KMix but I cannot move the volume slider (but doesn't show by default - only after Channel Show ...). It shows in GMerlin ALSA Mixer on the "USB Mixer" tab where I can adjust the volume slider. I've tried changing all the "Prefer" settings ("AKM AK5370 (USB Audio)") in the "Default Capture Device Preferences" within "Sound and Video Configuration" of "Multimedia - System Settings" (Backend is Xine) In Skype (2.0.0.68. i586) I've tried all the options in "Sound-In" without success. Skype does works with a cheap PC Mic plugged in my PCI sound card (and the USB Mic works with MS!) - but I would prefer to use the USB Mic. Further details below ...

[opensuse] Time To Call It A Day
by Dave Barton 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

I have been following the recent list threads regarding nVidia issues, in the hope that I might glean something to resolve my problem. Until a couple of weeks ago I have been running 11.1 x86_64 on box with an nVidia GF 7300LE card driving a ViewSonic VX2235wm LCD monitor at it's native 1680x1050 resolution. The card died and I replaced it with a GF 9600GT. To cut a ridiculously long story short, I have tried every conceivable option I can think of (eg. sax2 -r -m 0=nv, with and without the nVidia drivers, direct editing of xorg.conf, totally clean install) to restore the 1680x1050 resolution. Without the nVidia drivers I can achieve a maximum resolution of 800x600, with the drivers I get an "eye blasting" 640x480, both of which are as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike. Endless Googling and list searching have not unearthed anything useful. Is there, by any chance, someone on this list running 11.x on a box with a 9600GT driving a VX2235wm at it's native 1680x1050 resolution? If so, would they please enlighten me as to how this is done? I have been using "battling" SuSE/OpenSUSE for around 15 years and overcome numerous configuration hurdles and obstacles, but this one makes me think it's now time to call it a day.

[opensuse] RDP Browser Client
by Kai Ponte 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

My work has recently implemented a new browser-based Juniper VPN solution. I have an RSA SecureID token and can access my corporate network via the cisco vpn client for linux or now through the Juniper browser connection. When connected via the cisco vpn client - or when under VirtualBox/VMWare using vista - I can launch Outlook (either native or using crossover office) and use KRDP to connect to my office workstations. One the new Juniper browser-based VPN, I can connect, access Outlook Web Access but cannot run the RDP. I tried it in IE6 using Crossover Office but that loads a page which then dies. Is there an RDP plugin for Firefox or Konqueror or Opera that will run on Linux to connect to a Windows-based workstation? -- kai www.perfectreign.com 2 + 2 > 4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
