[opensuse] Losing mount points on 11.1 when switching from wired <-> wireless
by James Pifer 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

This weekend I upgraded from OpenSuse 10.3 to 11.1. Overall the upgrade went very well and most things are working well, even my laptop's card reader is working which is nice. I do have a couple issues. One is with jexec, which I need to do some googling on. The other, is with Network Manager. I occasionally switch from wireless to wired and vice versa. Both NICs are configured with the same ip address. On 10.3 when I switch from one to the other, it was very seamless. On 11.1 when I switch I lose connection to pidgin, which isn't a big deal because it just reconnects, but I also lose connection to my nfs and smb mounts, so I have to remount them. Is there a way to keep the mounts from disconnecting or to reconnect automatically?

[opensuse] Connecting to a windows machine running PC-DUO
by Rikard Johnels 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Is there a way to connet to a desktop running PC-DUO? I have to acces several machines running XP and PC-DUO at work. I can (of course) use the PC-DUO software under a MS XP machine, but as i haul a Linux'ed laptop i want to have the same possibility. As it is now i am not able to install any from of VNC on the windows machines. (Due to certification of platform, software and shit (blame it on the IT dept, not me)) -- /Rikard Johnels

[opensuse] Problem with KDE: About Me configuration
by Jose Thadeu Cavalcante 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hi, Maybe I wrong, but I think very strange that when I setting Downloads Path on About Me configuration to a new directory, like ~/Download, all the directories and files of my home (~) are moved to that directory. I think that the Downloads Path is the directory when I put the files in internet download process. This a bug or not?

Hello there! Does anybody know where I can find a rpm package or at least a tarball for Pencil (the drawing programme)? On the website there are only deb and Arch packages... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse]

Hi all, my desktop PC running OpenSuSE 11.0 lost the motherboard so it doesn't finish the boot process properly. So I took the internal hard disk and put it into another desktop computer. It started to boot up magically :-) but then the process said that it couldn't find the disk with SuSE on it...so I was given the option to fall back to another (discovered) device. Answering "y" to continue also ended up with a shell prompt where I could do nothing... After that I booted from the OpenSUSE 11.0 DVD and run a "Repair System" ... AFAIK with that the boot loader should be fixed and allow me to boot to KDE but it hangs at "Starting MySQL..." :-/ I also guess that I have to run sax2 -r because the new system has a different graphics card... funny enough the YaST2 GUI runs well when in recovery mode... So, is there any solution to my problem here or am I better off reinstalling the OS?

[opensuse] Firefox problem
by Heinz Diehl 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hi, did just install Firefox on my opensuse 11.1 system, and noticed that it doesn't save any entered user/password combination, and it doesn't even prompt me to do so. When I call the "clear private data" window (in "tools"), the field "clear saved passwords" is listed, but not available (greyed out). "Remember passwords for sites" in preferences -> security is checked. I tried to re-install Firefox and did delete ~/.mozilla, without any success. Does anybody know what could be wrong here? Thanks, Heinz.
