Guys, For anyone still using 11.0, note that the redirector for the packman repo (http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.0/) evidently points to a place with very old metadata and reports that there are no updates. In fact there are about 104M of updates in packman for 11.0: (example) 20:38 alchemy:/home/david # zypper up -t package Reading installed packages...

[opensuse] Firefox Problem
by Stephen P. Molnar 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

I am running OpenSuSE 11.2 on a 64bit AMD CPU with Firefox 3.6.10 and jre1.6.0_21 I have an application, WebMO, that I use which has to be run using Firefox, and also uses Java applications which requires libjavaplugin_oji.so. I can open WebMo in Firefox, but when I have to run a Java app it doesn't open. I have been in contact with the WebMO developer and we have eliminated any problems with WebMO that might be responsible for this behavior. I have also checked the permissions of the plugin and they are appropriate. Further, as there are two versions of the plugin, ns7-gcc29 and ns7, neither one of which work. Finally, I opened firefox in a terminal and there were no messages when Forefox opened. This is most perplexing and I would appreciate assistance in solving the problem.

[opensuse] What happened to repair?
by Bruce Ferrell 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

I was working on a system that lacked a sane bios. Suffice to say I ran into problems and when I went looking for repair system under install I didn't find it. I was using a net install CD. Has that been totally removed or did I just not find it? Bruce Ferrell -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.3 webpin - still broken...
by David C. Rankin 12 Oct '10

Guys, I got partial results back from the 11.3 webpin web interface. This is progress, but still basically useless for finding anything relevant. Tonight I tried a search on 'fluxbox' and the result was limited to: Results from http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/11.3 fbdesk (1.4.1) Icon Manager for Fluxbox Now everbody knows fluxbox is in the X11/windownmanagers repo -- that is everybody except webpin.... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/windowmanagers/openSUSE_11.3… When can we expect webpin to work for 11.3?

After I have installed all from KDE:/Release:/45, I still get an on-line update suggestion of updating to KDE 4.3.5. This is coming from the 11.2 repo. I will of course not select this.

[opensuse] How to change video driver?
by Bob Williams 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

Hi, I'm still getting frequent, intermittent hangs which I believe is due to a conflict between the kernel 2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop and the nvidia video driver 256.53-16.1. I'd like to try switching to the opensource nv/nouveau driver, but I'm not sure how to go about it. The xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau 0.0.15 is installed, according to yast. Any suggestions, please?

[opensuse] kde4 - oxygen - how to turn off bright focus rectangle around edit window in kate/kwrite?
by David C. Rankin 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

Guys, In kde 4.5.2, when kate has focus, there is a bright colored rectangle (focus indication) that draws itself around the editing window in kate/kwrite. This drives me batty as I have a dark background and dark decorations with this bright gold rectangle splashed in the middle of the editor. I've switched to Qt-Curve in the mean time (which looks pretty good). I've looked through the oxygen advanced style settings to try and find a way to turn this focus highlight off and I've looked through kate settings as well, but I still can't find a way to turn the editor window highlight off. (I DON'T want to change the highlight color in 'colors' as it works great for the theme, I just don't want the bright rectangle drawn around the editor window in kate/kwrite) Howto fix? -- David C.

[opensuse] repomd.xml problem any solution ?
by Paul Ollion 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

Hello SuSE people This week I installed Opensuse 11.3 on a machine, it was good enough , but I cannot update and I cannot download additional software from other repositories either with Yast or zypper. Every time I get messages mentioning a problem with a repomd.xml file. I searched the net and found a lot of people asked what to do with this same issue, for weeks, but did not find a solution. someone suggested to remove file /root/. netrc, but there is none. I seem to have managed some update, by using the installation DVD , reentering langage and keyboard layout, then using / installation/updating existing system. It changes the list of repositories by removing all the additional ones I was able to add (such as packman, videolan) ; but automatic updates, yast updates and zypper updates do not work. Has anyone found a fix for this ? -- Paul Ollion Proud Linux user SuSE 11.2 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] wdm chooser

Has anyone tried the wdm display manager enabled for remote host logins? If so, how do you get the list of available remote hosts? I've got the wdm working alright for local X sessions, but I can not find a way to get the list of available remote hosts to login to. Any input appreciated. /Lars Stavholm PS I've verified that the remote hosts are there and accepting connections by means of kdm3. It works nicely. But I really want wdm to do the same thing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
