[opensuse] Autoyast adding repository
by christian schmitt 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Hallo, I am using autoyast to install all my workstations (at work). This will work fine at all. But now I need to Install the Nvidia driver with the autoyast. I try to add the nvidia repository to the autoyast.xml, but I can't find the right place for this. Is it possible anyway? Or is there a better way to do this? Thanks a lot Christian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Changing themes crashes KDE
by Ken Schneider - openSUSE 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

openSUSE 11.2 i386 KDE 4.3.95 For a long time, I think since I started using KDE 4.x all border colors are _only_ shades of gray. No matter what theme I choose I end up with a gray color scheme. All of the icons and buttons have color to them. And the main problem is when changing the theme in the control center KDE crashes _every_ time as soon as I click on "apply". Is there any quick way to get the desktop back besides logout/login? -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] compiz in kde3 fixed - missing entry in kdesktoprc was to blame
by David C. Rankin 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

Listmates, Just a quick note. My problems with compiz in kde3 are fixed (after the kde 4.3.95 upgrade/downgrade). The problem was a missing entry for: [General] Enabled=true Adding the entry turning on the desktop icons fixed the problems. I should have caught this earlier. I do recall being bitten by that in the 0.5.6 days, but I must be getting old.... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] accessing contents of a clicfs image
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

If I want to access the contents of a clicfs image on openSUSE 11.2, shouldn't this work: mkdir cmnt fmnt clicfs the_clicfs_file cmnt mount -ö loop cmnt/fsdata.ext3 fmnt The clicfs command works. So, the file cmnt/fsdata.ext3 exists. The 'file' says: fsdata.ext3: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (large files) The final mount hangs. When peeking at the clicfs process it in a futex waiting for something. If I kill the clicfs process, the mount exits. Otherwise. it just waits... Anyone else able to mount such an image? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
