Now, in the grey dawn, I can add a bit: Both of the two addresses in Firefox get the same "Bad Request" response. The same thing happens Opera -- "Bad Request" for both. But not in Konqueror, which gets an entirely different reaction and brings up the problem website as it should. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi list, - I got my KDE4.n screwed up by updating as one is supposed to do now and then. My machine is a critical production tool. I cannot do with a complete buggy desktop. Can one install KDE3.5 onto openSuSE11.1, if so, how? - thank you! -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Open Source Academy +45 56964223 Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701 Linux Counter no 114954 ------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Strange behaviour: yast2 hangs during startup
by Fabian Scheler 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hello every body, when starting yast2 from the command line after becoming root via e.g. "yast2 sw_single" or "yast2 lan" yast2 gets stuck within waitpid (at least strace told me that) - until now, I have not found the process yast2 is waiting for at this point. The curious things is: starting yast2 via the kde menu, ALT-F2 or even from the command line via ssh works fine, I did not observe any hangs so far, using these options. So far, google did not provide me any useful suggestions. I do not think that another yast2/zypper/... activity is blocking yast2, otherwise starting yast2 via the kde menu or ALT-F2 would not work either. Any hints are welcome.

[opensuse] Update to compiz 8.2 killed Cube Reflection and Deformation for 11.0
by David C. Rankin 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Listmates, I was glad to see compiz 8.2 finally in the XGL repository. I knew it would run well on this box, I run it in my archlinux install on the same box. However, something is wrong with the openSuSE rpm for 11.0. The first thing I noticed was the cylinder rotation was gone. I then checked the "Cube Reflection and Deformation" setting and it was unchecked. I then attempted to check it, the check mark appeared, then 3 seconds later the checkmark removed itself just like the XGL mess that we went through in the compiz 6x to 7x transition. To test, I completely uninstalled compiz: rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep compiz) fusion-icon and then reloaded compiz from the X11/XGL repository like I have always done. Same problem. The packages I have installed are: compiz-branding-openSUSE-0.8.2-92.1 compiz-0.8.2-92.1 compiz-plugins-main-0.8.2-10.1 compiz-kde-0.8.2-92.1 python-compizconfig-0.8.2-3.1 compiz-emerald-0.8.2-2.1 compizconfig-settings-manager-0.8.2-6.1 libcompizconfig-0.8.2-9.1 compiz-plugins-extra-0.8.2-8.1 fusion-icon-0.0.1_080201-5.1 emerald-themes-extra-0.1.0-5.1.noarch.rpm This is with 11.0 and the fglrx driver. Everything else seems OK, wobbly, expo, scale, shift-switch, opacity, zoom, etc.. just not Cube Reflection and Deformation. Anybody know the solution? Anybody else seeing this?? -- David C.

[opensuse] Console crashes in KDE4.1, krunner crashed
by Verner Kjærsgaard 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hi list, - I just followed Sven's advise (thank you) to refresh/upgrade my openSuSE11.1 installation. - hmmm...it didn't fix anything - but gave me a number of additional problems (for which Sven is NOT to blame, certainly not). One of the funny things is that when I login, a dialog comes up says: krunner crashed... If I open up a console, this console will crash uppon exit. Worse, if I open up two or more consoles (I do a lot of remote SSH work), when I exit just (any)one console, they ALL crash. Quite annoying... Again, any ideas? As always, thanks a lot for all help! -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Making KDE the default desktop once again
by Graham Anderson 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Frank Karlitschek has posted on his blog about the possibility of having openSUSE use KDE as the default desktop. <http://blog.karlitschek.de/2009/07/lets-make-kde-default-in-opensuse.html> This is an interesting question, historically KDE was the default desktop of SuSE, until what seemed like internal politics made a play to have GNOME pushed as the preferred option instead. From the outside one can only speculate what happened at that time but the end result is we have the choice of either GNOME or KDE at install time. The majority of the openSUSE user base uses KDE, this is not in dispute. Would it not then make more sense to have KDE as the default desktop? What do you think? Has having a choice of desktop at installation time brought any tangible benefit? Should openSUSE go back to using KDE as the default desktop or maybe you think that GNOME should be the default desktop instead? You can vote for this either way at the openFATE feature request Frank created. <https://features.opensuse.org/306967> Cheers the noo, Graham -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

No, false alarm. Konqueror remains able to access the site properly, Firefox still can't, unless I give it the full directory and file.
