[opensuse] Where is asterisk???`

Correction, that should be locate, not locatedb. I've tried installing asterisk180, on OpenSUSE 11.3, using the 1-Click Install on software.opensuse.org/search. It appears to go through the installation process and even shows as being installed in the software manager, but I can't seem to find it anywhere on the disk. I've used both find and locatedb to search for some of the files that should have been installed. Any idea what's happened? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Remote Firefox via ssh
by James Knott 11 Dec '10

11 Dec '10

When I was recently using http://software.opensuse.org/search to install some packages on my firewall, I used Firefox, installed on the firewall, to access that site. However, one thing I noticed is that when I start Firefox with ssh from an account that's also on the local computer, the local copy of Firefox starts up, instead of the one on the firewall. However, if I use a different account, including root, Firefox on the firewall runs as intended. I had previously noticed the same behaviour when attempting to run Seamonkey, on my main computer, remotely from my notebook. Generally, when running an X app remotely, the app on the remote computer starts. Why the difference with Seamonkey & Firefox? All computers involved are running some version of OpenSUSE (11.0 or 11.3). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] zypper patch vs zypper up?
by Greg Freemyer 11 Dec '10

11 Dec '10

All, I upgraded my desktop to 11.3 months ago via "zypper dup". Since then I've been doing "zypper patch" routinely and have been getting security updates. By chance I just typed "zypper up". It looks like my full system needs to be updated per zypper up: 1769 packages to upgrade, 4 new, 1 to remove. I'm fairly confused by that. Can anyone explain?

[opensuse] Need some help with .fetchmailrc.
by Oddball 10 Dec '10

Hi list, While setting up my imap server i encounter this problem: i created .fetchmail in the homedir, and wrote: poll pop.mymailserver.nl with proto POP3 user "username" there with password "passwd" is "oddball" here mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %s" fetchmail -av tells me there is no mailserver specified... is this because pop.mymailserver.nl is not between " " ? Or because i am dutch, i have to write the command in dutch? Or do i have to invoke fetchmail somehow, and fill in the mailserver there? tia, Rob. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.)

[opensuse] opensuse.org fonts
by Thomas Schmidt 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

We are currently evaluating the best font to use in our new bento theme that is used on most opensuse.org sites now. The latest proposal of font and font-size can be seen on http://features.opensuse.org We use a relative size (em) now, and the droid font[1]. Alternatives for the font would be "Liberation Sans" and Arial. What do you think about the current state? I have tested the site on Linux Firefox/Chromium/Webkit/Opera, Mac Safari and Windows 7 IE 8. IE8 doesn't download the font automatically, so if we want to have droid there too we need to fix this.

Oddball, >I understand your comment as writer of the app. Yes. >On the website is firefox shown. >Is this the only app bleachbit cleans? BleachBit cleans 90 applications listed here http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/features About 10 of them require you to install the Linux bonus pack, but most do not require the bonus pack. >I use openSUSE 11.3, but only 11.1 and 11.2 are listed. >Does that mean that i cannot install it? Thanks for pointing this out: I didn't notice openSUSE 11.3 is out, but I am building the package now. In the next few hours it will be here http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/news/test-bleachbit-083-beta and later on the regular download page. Meanwhile, there is a good chance you can install the openSUSE 11.2 package without problems on 11.3: if it installs and starts, then everything else should work too.
