[opensuse] dashed lines and dotted lines
by Douglas McGarrett 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Hello, again-- I'm new to SuSE 11.1, and a lot of things have changed since 9.3. Fr'instance, all of a sudden I have dotted lines around a lot of the things I bring up on screen, including now, and dashed lines around each incoming mail (in KMail) and dashed lines around some icons on the desktop. Why did they appear, and how can I get rid of them? They make the mail topics hard to read, for one thing. (This letter, as I write it, has dotted edges as noted above.) This did not manifest itself until I had used the program about 5 days. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] a presenter device with a scroll wheel?
by Boris Epstein 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

Hi all, We've got a Hiro Heroic Presenter ( http://www.hiroinc.com/product_details.php?item_id=7 ). Not a bad toy except that the laser died in it. So now we are looking for a replacement. We want that replacement to have all the features of the Heroically fallen Hiro described above plus an equivalent of a mouse scrollwheel on top of that. Anybody seen anything like that? Anybody can recommend anything along those lines? Thanks in advance for any and all help. Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Guys don't moan about KDe, you can get a lot of DE, and there is still the possibility to get 3.5 of kde even if you are using the last opensuse.

From my point of view, KDE 4 is a disaster. I also have no use for a dumbed down desktop. If I wanted one, I could always go to Windows. Perhaps KDE 4 should be called "Linux Vista". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device

[opensuse] Pattern Recognition, Completely utter OT

Hi list, - I don't know of any more competent to ask than you lot :-) - Given a CCD camera and some large printed digits and letters (on stones and tiles actually), does anyone know of any FOSS sw that'll read/understand/do the trick. i.e. decipher what's printed and output it as text. - actually, it's like what any OCR sw does...only such sw is targeted towards printed matter on paper. -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Open Source Academy +45 56964223 Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701 Linux Counter no 114954 ------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
