[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.

[opensuse] Rsync and Procmail resource file issue...
by G T Smith 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All, Just been tracking down a problem which I have finally pinned down to some issues with the local procmail config file (~/.procmailrc) and its permissions and contents. The end result was that incoming mail was accepted but not delivered to the local account correctly. Somehow after a rsync run to perform a backup of the file structure the permissions to the file seems to have effectively changed (and also possibly the contents). As procmail is only called for mailbox delivery and is not a daemon, any changes in procmail causing this problem should have become evident before the update, so this would suggest that rsync is involved somewhere. To further confirm this there have been some slight changes in spamd start messages which do not seem be affecting its operation, but may indicate a change in this applications behaviour possibly for similar reasons. This needs further investigation before I can figure out what exactly is going on, and how serious any other damage (if it exists) really is, and whether rsync is involved. However, I was wondering if anyone has come across similar issues with rsync. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

[opensuse] Special figures in OOWriter
by Doug McGarrett 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

In Open Office Writer, there is a large table of special characters, and if you snap on one, it comes up with a format like this: U+00A9 (169) which is the copyright symbol. Now supposing you're writing something that will refer to copyrighted material often, probably there is a way to use the code "U+00A9 (169)" somehow to avoid having to go back to the table and find the symbol every time. I have been unable to figure out how to do that. It was easy in WordPerfect, which had similar tables; you hit ^W and the number, and it emplaced the symbol in the text. There must be a way to do the same sort of thing in OO. So how? --TIA--doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Istvan Gabor 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

Hello: openSUSE 11.2 with firefox 3.5.6, opensuse package: The print resolution is set back to 300 dpi every time when I print something. It is very annoying to always check and set resolution when I print. How could I make firefox remember my setting?

[opensuse] KNotes and Kontact
by ianseeks 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

Hi Anyone know how to configure the presentation of the notes in Kontact? At the moment my notes are all squashed up to the left making it impossible to read the note headers. I can't find any config option to either enlarge the notes icons or the space between them. regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] anybody know what's up with the repo keys?
by Boris Epstein 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

Hi all, I have been having trouble with the repositories under OpenSuSE 11.2 in that for some reason as I tried to install a package I would get a message stating that the key is wrong and hence a possible security breach may have been in progress. Tried to delete all repositories through Yast and re-add them but that did not help. Has anybody encountered that? Does anybody know what this may be about? Thanks.
