[opensuse] kde4 - knetworkmanager not lauchable
by Greg Freemyer 03 May '09

03 May '09

All, My laptop is running kde 4.2.2 In the taskbar where the knetworkmanager icon is supposed to be, I just have a black square. And it I try to run knetworkmanager manually, nothing happens. I tried deleting, .kde4, but it did not help. Any other ideas?

[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?

[opensuse] Firefox 3.0.9 Crashes & Beagle Plug-In
by Randall R Schulz 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

Hi, I just installed the latest Firefox updates to version 3.0.9. Two successive restarts ended in a segmentation fault crashes while restoring the previous session using Tab Mix Plus's session manager functionality. I was going to downgrade back to version 3.0.8 when I noticed that I'd left the Beagle plug-in installed following the eradication of Beagle during the original installation of openSUSE 11.1. So I decided to remove the Beagle Firefox plug-in instead of downgrading Firefox. Following this, Firefox 3.0.9 started up and restored its previous session successfully.

[opensuse] Cups network printers stuck with URI /dev/null
by Andre Truter 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

I have a client with a network of SUSE 11.1 machines. Printers are physically connected to a number of the workstations. CUPS is set up so that all machines can see all other printers. Normally it works good. But then something went wrong on the one machine. Two of the remote printers on it is stuck in the configuration and I cannot remove them. Basic scenario: Server1 : workstation1 : printer1, printer2 workstation2 : printer3, printer4 So, normally Server1 lists printers1-4 in it;s cups and it can print to them. But now, we have on server1 the following: printer1, printer2, working pritner3: Listed, but URI=/dev/null printer4: Listed, but URI=/dev/null. pritner3@workstation2: working printer3@workstation2: working If I shut down the CUPS on workstation2, the two printers with @workstation2 disappears from Server1, but the other two are still there. We even tried to reboot the server, and changed workstation2 to not advertise the printers, but the two printers with URI /dev/null are still there. Server1 is a LTSP server and the local users have one of the defunct printers are default, so this is a bit of a problem, because all thier print jobs disappear into the void. Any idea how I can remove the two remote printers from the server's cups config?
