[opensuse] Dotan, Will - kde3, howto make file 'save/save as' speedbar wider, say 160 px?
by David C. Rankin 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Will, Dotan, KDE3 Gurus, How do I make the file save/save as speedbar (if that is what it's called) wider so it isn't chopping off the entries? I have outlined the area I want to make wider here in green: (33k) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/ss/kde/speedbar.jpg I have tried kdeglobals with Speedbar Width=160, etc., but I can never get that area to change size. If I tell it to use large icons, then they are huge. I know there has to be a trick. Here is the current settings I have in kdeglobals: [KFileDialog Settings] Automatically select filename extension=true Height 900=447 LocationCombo Completionmode=5 PathCombo Completionmode=5 Recent URLs[$e]=$HOME/img/wrk/desktops/,sftp://supersff.3111skyline.com/home/david… Separate Directories=false Set speedbar defaults=false Show Bookmarks=false Show Preview=false Show Speedbar=true Show hidden files=false Sort by=Name Sort case insensitively=true Sort directories first=true Sort reversed=false Speedbar Width=160 View Style=Simple Width 1440=903 [KFileDialog Speedbar (Global)] Description_0= Description_1=Desktop Description_10=SuperSFF - sftp Description_11=dcrgx2 - sftp Description_2=Home Folder Description_3=Storage Media Description_4=Network Folders Description_5=Archangel - http Description_6=Archangel - sftp Description_7=Nirvana - sftp Description_8=Nirvana - www Description_9=img IconGroup_0=0 IconGroup_1=4 IconGroup_10=4 IconGroup_11=4 IconGroup_2=4 IconGroup_3=4 IconGroup_4=4 IconGroup_5=4 IconGroup_6=4 IconGroup_7=4 IconGroup_8=4 IconGroup_9=4 Icon_1= Icon_10=2rightarrow Icon_11=ftp Icon_2=folder_home Icon_3=system Icon_4=network Icon_5=package_system_network Icon_6=package_yast_netAdvanced Icon_7=package_office_database Icon_8=package_office_warehouse Icon_9=gdm-login-photo Number of Entries=12 URL_0[$e]=file://$HOME/public_html/ URL_1[$e]=file://$HOME/Desktop/ URL_10[$e]=sftp://supersff.3111skyline.com/ URL_11[$e]=sftp://dcrgx2.3111skyline.com/ URL_2[$e]=file://$HOME URL_3[$e]=media:/ URL_4[$e]=remote:/ URL_5[$e]=sftp://archangel.3111skyline.com:4352/srv/http/ URL_6[$e]=sftp://archangel.3111skyline.com:4352/ URL_7[$e]=sftp://nirvana.3111skyline.com:4350/ URL_8[$e]=sftp://nirvana.3111skyline.com:4350/srv/www/ URL_9[$e]=file://$HOME/img/ What's the trick? -- David C.

[opensuse] RPM names
by Roger Oberholtzer 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

I have a shell script that takes a set of directories containing bins and libraries, and determines which RPMs need to be installed to satisfy all references. My plan is to make a ypm (YaST package manager) script to make it easy to be sure all that is needed is installed. The script provides the name of the RPM on the current system, like: libstdc++44-4.4.1_20090817-2.3.4.i586 libtiff3-3.8.2-145.2.i586 libuuid1-2.16-4.5.1.i586 libxml++-2.26.1-2.2.i586 libxml2-2.7.3-2.2.i586 openmotif-libs-2.3.1-10.1.i586 tcl-8.5.7-4.6.i586 tk-8.5.7-3.1.i586 xorg-x11-libICE-7.4-7.1.i586 I want to make the script a little less specific about versions. Like the i586, or the OBS build number. For example, for tcl I would like: tcl-8.5.7 or for the xorg item: xorg-x11-libICE-7.4 My use is a bit restricted, in that the script will be generated on a machine running the same openSUSE release where the ypm script should run. But the various machines may have different upgrades applied. I can't see how one could figure this out for the various names here. Just look at the first and the last in my list. Granted the list is only 30 or so long, so I could edit it by hand. I am hoping, however, to add the package manager script to the installable package, and would be happy if it could track these things as packages are built. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] backup question
by Sampsa Riikonen 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Dear List, A question concerning data backups and transfer speed.. I am trying to do a backup using dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb From my internal hard disk to an external usb hard disk (i.e. I am just dumping the disk image to an empty disk). I am doing this, of course, while the filesystems are unmounted. I imagine that the bottleneck is the usb (2.0) connection. What I read from wikipedia, the speed of that is.. 60 Mbytes (not bits) per second ~ 0.06 Gbytes per second So this means that a 500 Gbytes hard disk should copy in aprox. 2.3 hours .. but know it seems it takes more than 24 hours! What seems to be the problem? Am I missing something in the math? My external usb hard disk box has also an option to use an esata connector (but then I should buy an adaptor to my laptop), but the speed difference to usb 2.0 is not that big, I imagine..?

[opensuse] How to use Bluetooth under KDE4
by Philipp Thomas 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

As you would like to use bluetooth headsets under KDE4 like I do here's the reliable recipe as told to me by a collegue that I tested and verified: o start thhe gnome-bluetooth applet (bluetooth-applet) o find the wanted device, pair and connect o install pavucontrol AND pulseaudio-module-bluetooth. o start amarok o in amarok somewhere under configuration search the button for sound configuration and click it. => move pulseaudio to upmost position there. o start pavucontrol o switch the bleutooth device to voice or a2db mode in one of pavucontrol's tabs (the pulldown menu lists the supported modes) o play music in amarok o switch to firat tab in pavucontrol o via the pulldown menu in pavucontrol switch output from internal sound system to the bluetooth device. enjoy Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello: I have an old program CD from wich I would like to copy files. When I mount the CD all the filenames appear in lowercase but I would like them in uppercase. I've read the mount manual but could not find out how to mount the CD so that the file names would be shown in uppercase. Could you help with this, please?

[opensuse] experience with large number of SATA drives ?
by Per Jessen 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

I'm putting together a hardware proposal for a new project - I/O rates are paramount, so I'm looking at running e.g. 16 SATA-II drives on a single box. I have opted not to use SAS drives due to price and lack of concurrency in the application. I'm thinking of using two fairly inexpensive Intel SATA (for RAID0) controllers, each with 8 SATA ports, each in a PCIe x8 slot. Before I go and build the prototype, I was just wondering if anyone's had any experience with running so many SATA drives on a single mainboard? /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-0.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Help with Yast CA Module
by Jim Flanagan 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

I need help using Yast's CA module. Specifically, how do I make an SSL that it not encrypted and does not need a passphrase. I need to make a self signed cert to us for my mail server (Postfix). Every time I try to make a cert it insists on me inputting a passphrase, and the cert is encrypted. Is there a how-to on this?

[opensuse] VNC over the HTTP
by Boris Epstein 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Hi all, Apparently, VNC is supposed to work over the HTTP... and I on occasion managed to get it to work, but then it would mysteriously stop working. And I could never quite figure out what makes it succeed or fail - and there seems to be little in the way of logs, etc. to make one make sense of the situation. So if you have figured out this riddle - would you be kind enough to share the knowledge? Thanks in advance.
