My system is unable to download the file primary.xml.gz to accomplish an online update,from the SuSE servers(curl cannot download this specific file).Is this a problem with SuSE servers or with my system configuration? I have installed OpenSuSE 11.1 recently and all seemed pretty OK. Now I only need to do this Online Update. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Huh?? kdebase3-workspace -- disappeared?
by David C. Rankin 17 Jul '09

17 Jul '09

Listmates, Has anyone else ever lost kdebase3-workspace? It was the strangest. I'm finishing up a new 11.0 install for the office, I finish updating some packages, I run the menu editor a bit and then reboot. To my surprise, I log in and I'm looking at FVWM?? Where did that come from. Log out, check the Session Type listing and there is *no* KDE anything to be found anywhere. Double-Huh?? Further checking with "which startkde" returns nothing? Checking another box the file is provided by kdebase3-workspace. So zypper in kdebase3-workspace and kde is back and working the way it should. How (other than a stupid keystroke [possible but not probable]) does kdebase3-workspace just vanish? Anybody run into this before? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I suggest using the scroll wheel. If you want to send insults to people, then have the courage to do it in public, not skulking around in private messages. And yes, lots of use of mouse wheels is another good way to get RSI.

[opensuse] How do I unsubscribe?
by Grant Baxter 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

I've been utilizing mail lists since the days of UUCP, and I have never asked any list this question. How do I unsubscribe? I've sent about six emails to opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org with the subject and body blank, with the subject: "unsubscribe (my email addx)" and the body blank. With the subject and body "unsubscribe (my email addx)". With the subject blank and the body "unsubscribe (my email addx)". I'm still receiving emails from the list after waiting two weeks since my last attempt. grant -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] xsane problem on suse 11.1
by Duaine & Laura Hechler 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

I've gone back to the original xsane, gotten the latest from the repositories and still the same problem. Using multipage to create a PDF, scanning at any size (primarily need letter port) at 0 rotation works But put rotation at 90 - no pnm file gets created. This option is critical for the scanning I need.
