[opensuse] Equivalentt to Kover in KDE4
by michael norman 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

I used to use Kover in KDE3 to make inserts for cds. I have searched to try and find an equivalent for KDE4 but cannot find one. I'm using 11.3 KDE 4 5 2. Can somebody give me a clue where to look please ? TIA Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Printing from Windows Computers to Suse Printers
by ka1ifq 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hello all, I remember doing this before, but I am sure things have changed in 11.3. I have 2 printers setup on my OS 11.3 and want to share one of them with a Win XP computer on my home network. I can see and setup the printer from the Win box but it shows a status of Access Denied. I did check online:http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Printing_from_Windows_to_Linux but some things it refers to I just don't find. * 1.1 Step 1: YaST control center * 1.2 Step 2: Edit /etc/cups/mime.convs configuration file * 1.3 Step 3: Restart CUPS server I do not find the file in step #2. Thanks, Mike. back to searching.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Amarok crashing
by John 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

I first tried to use the stock Amarok that came with 11.3. Upon opening it, it gets to splash screen and then crashes. Every signle time. Whether anything else is running or it's by itself on the desktop. Fine. I bug it at kde.bugs. I'm told by them to upgrade to 2.3.2, which I did yesterday (all but the debug rpm's...I'm on dial-up and 23MB is a bit much to download for something I was *hoping* was simple). I install Amarok 2.3.2 (from an opensuse 11.3 repo, by the way), anticipating being able to use it. Amarok crashes, in the exact same way as before. I bug this one again (this time with the generic debug info that kde.bugs window says isn't good enough to send, btw). Their reply to *this* bug: -------------------------- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255139 --- Comment #1 from Myriam Schweingruber <myriam kde org> 2010-10-25 02:25:06 --- Backtrace from original comment. Please always paste backtraces inline, else those are not searchable. As already stated in bug #253055: please talk to your distribution, this is specific to OpenSuSE and seems to be a problem with the QtScriptbindings. It is not reproducible in other distributions. -------------------------- So, who/how/what do I talk to/do/tell about the qtbindings thing in Opensuse? I don't want to use another audio player for too long when I know Amarok is working fine on other distros and I just plain like it over any other I've ever run/tried. -- Μολὼν λαβέ Top-posters: The Village Idiots of the computer world.

[opensuse] NCL2.0 sp2, OS 11.3
by Maurice 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Recently installed openSuSE 11.3 on my PC (having run 11.0, 11.1, 11.2 each time using the appropriate version of the Novell Client for Linux (as I dwell in a NetWare shop)) and using the NCL 2.0 sp2 (like I did on openSuSE 11.2) I was able to run the login script, etc. like the Win users so when they have file and folder questions I can 'see' what they were seeing, etc. Recently, the week of Oct 18th, I installed some updates that broke NCL?! Un-installed NCL via YAST, rebooted, re-installed it - the usual stuff - but still not working. I rolled back a version or two of the kernel, hoping that was the solution, but it's still broken. When I tag the Novell login tray icon I get the error 'Cannot scan Connection References. Error:NWCCScanConnRefs:' Within the description box I see the file ncpConnectionRefScanner.cpp is listed with a line reference and so on... Anyone else seeing this type of NCL breakage? At the moment, I'm trying to roll back my updates to get to the point of functionality but still no luck after a few days... Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

[opensuse] chm Viewer plugin for Google Chrome
by Bogdan Cristea 25 Oct '10

I am very pleased with the Chrome PDF plugin, since it is much faster than Adobe Reader even is it lacks some functionality. I wonder if there are plans to release also a chm plugin for Google Chrome. regards Bogdan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] compression tool with high compression ratio, multiple files and fast random access?
by Per Jessen 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Just in case anyone was following this thread - I asked this question back in august or september - at the time I settled on using plain old zip, because it was the fastest when it came to extraction. However, I have just recently come across 'cromfs' which I don't think was mentioned back then. cromfs is exactly what I was looking for - high compression ratio, fast random access. It also works fine with automount, which became a requirement (as it is a file system). The only slight drawback is that it, at the moment, requires one instance per filesystem mounted, which in my case makes for a lot of processes. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] yast install to directory on openSUSE 11.2 and 11.3
by Roger Oberholtzer 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

I am trying to see how the yast "Install to directory" feature works. I am curious why all software packages seem to be a dependency. (Shown in Yast as a check with three dots under it.) For example, GIMP is selected. As it seems to be a dependency, I cannot deselect it from installation. In fact, if I check the Installation Summary tab, all packages are like this. OpenOffice? ImageMagick? I am interested in this so I can install various versions of the OS for use in a local chrooted build environment that should create compiled binaries for various openSUSE releases. I did this a while back for making Gentoo software on openSUSE and it worked great. Seems easier than qemu and all for my purposes. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
