[opensuse] Using Thunderbird For 2 Email Accounts One Imap Server
by Michael S. Dunsavage 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

I pull my email to my ISP email and another email account to the same Imap server, but in thunderbird, I'd like to use the imap to be able to send out via either my isp outgoing and local outgoing. For instance. I have email that goes to mikesd1(a)verizon.net , which I get my opensuse mail to. If I want to reply to that using my verizon email I can hit reply and select the verzion outgoing. However if I get email to my mikesd(a)mydomain.com, I want to be able to write an email and send that via my domain.com server. Thunderbird does not allow me to add multiple outgoing servers to one account, I don't think. But both emails are pulled via fetchmail and delivered via imap. Evolution has the ability to add different outoing servers, but evolution has filtering issues that are annoying me. -- Michael S.

[opensuse] A desktop machine selector, one for the weekend :-)
by Verner Kjærsgaard 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Dear list and listmates :-) - this just came up... - what if one has a LARGE number of openSuSE11.n virtualized desktop machines, we're talking thousands... - all in a clusted vmware environment, the machines are/will be created more or less on the fly. Some vmware professionals take care of this. Problem: Each user has his own virtualized desktop machine. So; when 'Peter' logs in, through some mechanism he needs to be directed/given access to his very own virtual machine. He will access the desktop of the machine using XDCMP or (better) FreeNX. It's not a load balancer we're looking for here, but rather a 'selector'. Any ideas? Anyhow, thank you in advance for any comments and thoughts! Best regards, Verner Kjærsgaard Denmark.

[opensuse] kde4 speed tips - got any?
by David C. Rankin 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Listmates, After 2 months working with kde 4.3 beta 2, one thing that is apparent is that it feels slow compared to kde3. Menu crispness, start time, etc. are all very sluggish compared to kde3. I rarely use kde3 anymore, but when I do start kde3, I'm amazed at how fast it is compared to kde4. This isn't because my laptop is just slow. AMD Turion-58, 4G of RAM, SATA II drive, the hardware should be fine. Start time on kde3 on this box is just about 7 seconds (login to desktop loaded). KDE4 is well over 25 seconds to accomplish the same task. Are there any tips for speeding kde4 up? We are now at 4.2.96 from factory x86_64. Sven, etc. do you see any speed improvements for kde4 coming? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Build service repository populatiry measure
by Roger Oberholtzer 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

I know such things do not mean anything in the big picture, but I am curious if the repository download mechanism on the OBS tracks how many times an RPM is downloaded. I am thinking more in terms of a trigger to perhaps announce the existence a repository with relatively little access. It could also trigger having an oft accessed repository added to the list of repositories one gets when adding a Community repository in YaST. Just curious. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] samba configuration
by helmut niko 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

I am new to OpenSuse. I recently installed it using VMWare Fusion residing on an iMac. The OpenSuse guest system shares the network with the iMac. I managed to connect to the internet via DSL cable, also to send mails. Here is my problem. I can't connect to the Samba server, regardless whether I use the file browser or the Samba client software smb4k. I am attaching my Samba configuration file for your perusal. Thanks in advance or your reply.

[opensuse] How to configure konqueror to show KB and MB instead of KiB and MiB??
by David C. Rankin 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Listmates, KDE4 konqueror is displaying size in KiB and MiB instead of the traditional KB and MB. Where can I change this so I can view the size in KB & MB? The 'i' means nothing to my use of konqueror, but it is distracting to the eye to now have a whole new useless column of 'i's streaming down the page. The view is a whole lot cleaner without them. I'm sure somebody cares whether the file is 41.6 KiB instead of 41.6 KB, but I would be startled if the percentage of people that do exceeds 1%. Where is the setting controlled? I have looked through Control Center Country/Region & Language and cannot find where to change this. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
