[opensuse] Gnome/Gtk-2.0 BLING! (list of surprisingly cool themes)
by David C. Rankin 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Listmates, Working to sort out why gnome died on my 11.0 install, I stumbled across some absolutely killer gtk-2.0 & metacity themes that caught my eye. If you use gnome, Xfce, etc.., give them a try and I guarantee you, you will be blown away. They are available at gnome-look or Xfce-look.org sites or by googling the theme name. Here is the short list: Abstract-DarkGlow Aero-ion3.1 Black Plastic V.2 ** Blue-Joy Correcamins DarkVision DiMurrineGTK Dust (Dust Burnt, and the rest of the Dust ... themes) Elegant Aurora (and the other Elegant....) Glow Fire (Lava, Flower, Cinder ...) Harvest Industrial-Glacier (GONYX, Lighthouse, Charcoal, Zeta, ...) Moomex Nova-Blue (Gold, etc...) Overglossed Oxygen-Molecule River Shifte_Black ShinyBlack Silence ** SlicknesS-black SphereCrystal Tenebrific-BlueMods Vision Xfce-cadmium (many of the Xfce themes also have matching gtk themes) Zniavre ** (top 2 for me - the rest are a close 3rd) And the screenshot giving an example of Blue-Joy and SlicknesS-black: (86k) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/ss/gnome/gnome-bling.jpg P.S. also posted to the opensuse-gnome list due to relevance in a rare cross-post... don't get your knickers in a twist :p -- David C.

[opensuse] Suse 11.2 -- no color in vim
by James D. Parra 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hello, After installing vim and vim-enhanced, there is no color when editing a file. The vimrc file has 'syntax on', but still no color. I have two separate installs of 11.2 and both have colorless vim sessions. My 11.1 installs are fine. Any ideas on what may cause this and how I can fix it?

No. I don't. Why do you think this, I've never said that. I want to see the progress bar only when a full scan is done. The defaults for when to make the full scan are good for me (ie. every Nth mount or given time passed). > But if you mean why does it think you're using a serial console rather > than the PC's own console ... we'll need to know more about your > hardware setup to answer that. It is a desktop with a CRT monitor connected by a VGA cabel, not DVI. But as I recall my installation, it might be related to the thing I chose 'server installation' at very first time without any graphical interface, and added X and graphical stuff after that. When the system boots both the graphical and text boot screens are shown on this monitor without any problem, the boot messages are scrolling through the screen. If I login in the first terminal window according to 'w' command it is tty1. Thanks.

[opensuse] evolution + imap and unread message count
by Roger Oberholtzer 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

I am running evolution 2.28.2 on an openSUSE 11.2 system. It is up-to-date with GNOME updates from openSUSE. One account is managed by courier imap, running on a remote openSUSE 11.2 system. For some reason, one or two folders claim that there are a couple of unread messages. But I cannot see them. All messages are read. I have tried refreshing the folder. I have tried selecting all messages and setting them to not read and then to read. It makes no difference. The unread count stays. If new messages arrive, the unread count increases by the new messages. After they are read, the mysterious unread count remains. I have more than one system accessing the imap server, both running the same version of evolution. But the problem is only on one of them. The system with the problem can occasionally loose contact with the imap server. I am guessing that this happened at some inopportune time. My question is, how can I force evolution to correct it's concept of the number of unread messages? I bet I could remove the account and add it back. But there are many thousands of messages in many folders. I am hoping there could be a better way. -- Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST/OPQ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] waiting for /dev/sda1 error during boot up
by James D. Parra 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hello, I dd'd an image of Suse Studio to a hard drive and when attempting to boot from it I get an error of; waiting for /dev/sda1 to appear... could not find /dev/sda1 The drive has only two partitions, sda1 = /, and sda2 = swap. Grub loads fine, so the /boot dir on sda1 is being read correctly. Preceding the above error I get an error of; FATAL: module ext3 not found. Any suggestions on how to get the module loaded during the boot process?

[opensuse] Has anyone built gnome-2.30 with jhbuild on 11.0?
by David C. Rankin 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Listmates, Has anyone been successful building gnome with jhbuild on 11.0? The current jhbuild module will build gnome 2.30. All in all, it is going fairly smooth, but very very slow due to having to scavenge 11.2 src.rpms to either rebuild for 11.0 or extract the source and try it that way. Right now I'm battling udisks which requires sg3_utils & udev (for gudev). I have made it through module 77/238 with the only module given up on being libproxy. Before I waste more time on this, I would like to know if anyone has done this successfully on 11.0. I could easily see another 15 hours going into this project and I would hate to hit a showstopper at 217/238. Possible? or Wait for kde44 to fix the conflict with the gnome settings daemon so 2.2 will work again?? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Trying to install gogoNet client.
by James Knott 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Forgot to mention, I'm running OpenSUSE 11.0 64 bit. I'm trying to install the gogoNet IPv6 over IPv4 client from http://gogonet.gogo6.com/page/download-1 I have unpacked the Linux source code and am trying to make the package according to the provided instructions: Complete the following steps to install the gogoCLIENT from the source code: 1. Retrieve the source code (*.tgz or *.zip archive) and decompress it to a temporary direc- tory. 2. Go to the tspc-advanced directory and type: make target=osname all where osname = freebsd, linux, darwin, netbsd or openbsd The system will then proceed to compile the gogoCLIENT. Executing the gogoCLIENT requires the files listed below: The gw6c binary file (gw6c) located in the bin directory A sample gw6c.conf file The template subdirectory containing the operating system scripts To install the gogoCLIENT in the /usr/local/gw6c directory with the necessary files, run the following command: make target=osname installdir=/usr/local/gw6c install However, when I try the make command, it complains it can't find the g++ command. I have tried to install some appropriate package, using Software Management, but without result. What am I missing??? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
