[opensuse] iso9660 mount question
by Istvan Gabor 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Hello: I have an old program CD from wich I would like to copy files. When I mount the CD all the filenames appear in lowercase but I would like them in uppercase. I've read the mount manual but could not find out how to mount the CD so that the file names would be shown in uppercase. Could you help with this, please? Thanks in advance, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Help with Yast CA Module
by Jim Flanagan 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

I need help using Yast's CA module. Specifically, how do I make an SSL that it not encrypted and does not need a passphrase. I need to make a self signed cert to us for my mail server (Postfix). Every time I try to make a cert it insists on me inputting a passphrase, and the cert is encrypted. Is there a how-to on this? Many thanks, Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Upgrade OpenSuSW KDE 4.3.1 to KDE 4.3.5
by Stephen P. Molnar 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

The URL http://www.freetechie.com/blog/installing-kde-4-3-5-on-opensuse-11-2/ has zypper command lines for upgrading KDE. WHat I would really like to do is install 4.3.5 separetly from 4.3.1 so that I can easily revert to the earlier version should there be a problem with 4.3.1 I know that it used to be possible to have two KDE versions on the same machine and switch back and forth. Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Switching languages between sessions....
by Ed Greshko 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

I have a need to run KDE in different languages under that same user id at different times. I would have expected to find a "Language" selection on the login screen. There isn't one there...and I couldn't find a way to add it or easily start a new session with a different language. How are other folks dealing with this?

[opensuse] Vertical Quicklaunch on the Desktop in KDE4 - It's a Winner
by David C. Rankin 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Guys, The far right-hand sliver of the screen is rarely covered on my desktop. Using the quicklaunch widget turns it into a very useful launch area without placing an entire 'toolbar' on the edge by using the 'quicklaunch' widget. Using the quicklaunch, you can put ~20 of your favorite apps in a very convenient location without losing desktop real estate. See: (42k) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/ss/kde4/vertical-quicklaunch.jpg Initially the quicklaunch widget orients itself in a horizontal configuration. Simply using the resize handle, you can resize it into a vertical configuration. Right after resize, the whole quicklaunch will look like a mess due to a bug that changes the size of the icons to 128px as the widget is resized vertically. Just click on the preferences access button and set the size back to 16 and you are good to go. (while you are there also increase the maximum number of visible apps to ~30 or so) To populate quicklaunch, just right-click the quicklaunch on the icon above where you want your app located and navigate to the .desktop file for the app you want to add and click OK. The .desktop files are usually located at: /usr/share/applications /opt/kde(3)/share/applications/kde (adjust as required) /usr/share/applications/kde4 To rearrange the application order, just drag the icons where you want them in the quicklaunch. Enjoy! (PS. the multiple konqueror and dolphin icons are the user & su versions) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Soundcard gone after reboot
by Martin Jungowski 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Weird problem - as of lately my sound card has started disappearing after rebooting the computer. I have to open YaST2, load the sound module, change anything (literally anything, it doesn't matter what I change as long as I change something to make YaST2 apply the "new" config), click ok and wait for YaST2 to apply the changes. Then my sound card returns and I can listen to music. Unfortunately, since my last reboot was more than 40 days ago I don't know what I did and changed since the last time it worked. I remember though that I didn't have that problem the last time I rebooted. System: AMD Athlon II X4 600e Acer Aspire M5200 base system - 780G chipsatz - SB700 south bridge - Onboard Azalia soundcard openSUSE 11.2 Any ideas where I should start looking?

[opensuse] how to install rpm from former suse version, preferably using yast, on suse 11.1
by Julien Michielsen 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

I was a happy sane-user, and could use it to make scans with my epson perfection 2580. This went fine with xsane-0.995-79.1.i586.rpm (from suse 11.0), but the present rpm (xsane-0.995-131) does not recognize my scanner. There might be a trick around it, but I'm happy with the old xsane-0.995-79, and I rather continue working with the old rpm than finding a new trick to obtain the same result. My question to you: What is the smartest way to install the xsane-rpm which resides in the suse-11.0 directory residing under /mnt/dvd/suse/i586 (more precisely) /mnt/dvd/suse/i586/xsane-0.995-79.1.i586.rpm Could you suggest a working way to install this working old horse?
