[opensuse] kdedevs - new taskbar window popups don't allow selection & normal popups disappear too quick.
by David C. Rankin 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

Guys, In kde44, the new window thumbnails are great, but they don't allow you to switch to the app you need to switch to. Here are two konqueror windows I was trying to switch to: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/bugs/kde4/kde44-taskbar.jpg Another problem caused by the new popups is that the normal app label popups disappear before you can put the cursor over them: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/bugs/kde4/kde44-taskbar_01.jpg Both problems are intermittent. Sometimes you can switch with the new window thumbnails and sometimes the normal label popups can be reached, but 75% of the time neither work. Anything we can try as a work-around? -- David C.

Don't always rely on hearsay in the mailing lists, you need to do your own tests first. Small e.g. People have been saying Konq and firefox are fast browsers on Linux, but to me they are slow compared Opera. Some people just get carried away with the enthusiasm of a new release and haven't really used in earnest. I still use KDE 3.5 for all important work because it does the job. I use 4.4 for the mailing lists and occasionally bring my backed up mail into Kontact to see how and if it works. e.g. Try and suspend a reminder in Kontact in 4.4, you can only dismiss them. > Soooo....chastising me, as I have done to myself, is deserved, it would be > nice if people who are in the know, would help me to extricate myself from > this morass.

[opensuse] firefox 3.6 + flashplayer 10.0.45 crashing?
by Per Jessen 09 Mar '10

I've just now upgraded to firefox 3.6 and flashplayer 10.0.45 - and the combination just keeps crashing whenever I bring up a page with some flash content. Is anyone else seeing the same? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.2 a big step backwards?
by Charles Obler 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

I've just installed 11.2, and I'm SHOCKED by the apparent loss of functionality. It feels like Linux is being dumbed-down to meet the meager expectations of Windows users. Tell me I'm wrong! Most of my complaints pertain to KDE 4. Something has gone TERRIBLY wrong with KDE. Here are some of the things that I can do in 10.2 that I can no longer do in 11.2: Shortcut keys: * In 10.2, I use Ctrl-Alt-D to show the desktop. Function not available in 11.2! * In 10.2, I can use Ctrl-Alt-M to maximize the window: Doesn't work in 11.2. * In 10.2, I can use Ctrl-Alt-A to access the menu bar in KConsole. Function not available in 11.2! * In 10.2, I can use Ctrl-/ and Ctrl-\ to switch between desktops. Function not available in 11.2. Desktop: * In 10.2, I can use a single command to adjust and align all desktop icons. Function not available in 11.2! * In 10.2, I have compact icons and the ability to control the font and color. In 11.2, the icons are big and cumbersome. * in 10.2, my screensavers work. In 11.2, I get segment faults whenever I try to open the KDE screensaver panel. USB Memory: * In 10.2, I can access my USB memory with mc, simply by going to the /media directory. In 11.2, my USB memory is inaccessible, except through Dolphin. Using Dolphin to copy from one directory to another takes me five times as long as using mc. KDE Version: * When I open the Personal Settings, KDE doesn't display its version. In fact, it doesn't even display KDE! Are the KDE 4 developers trying to hide, or something?! Internet: * Worst of all, I find that my new nVidia MCP61 Ethernet (rev a2), on the market since 2006, is still not working in 11.2! In forums, I read of people switching from Linux to Windows 7. I found this hard to believe -- but now that I've "upgraded", I can see why some people might do this. Why have imitation Windows, when we can have the real thing? I still have an open mind. I just can't understand why Linux is REMOVING functionality. Functionality is the Linux STRENGTH! It's one of the main reasons for USING Linux! For Linux to delete functionality seems self-destructive. Next, I suppose Linux will do away with the command-line option. After all, only "geeks" use it! This regression really makes me sick. What are they thinking, over at KDE?! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.3 Support for Intel Core i3 / i7
by Andi Sugandi 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

Hi Listmates, I tried installing openSUSE (oS) 11.2 and 11.3 M3 on Dell Inspiron 1440 and Acer Aspire 4740, and the results seem similar: 1. oS 11.2: Live KDE: It failed to boot. Installation: Succeeded to run YaST-Installer, but after reboot it failed to finish the installation processes. 2. 11.3 M3: Live CD KDE4: It booted well. but hang when it was in progress on YaST Installer (when formatting new partitions) Installation: I can see it booted well but no GUI ran, only blank screen, I could not reach 'Ctrl+Alt+Fn). Will Intel i3 / i7 processors be supported by oS 11.3 in time the 11.3 reach the final release? Thanks in advance.

[opensuse] Re: Trying to change list subscription to 'nomail'
by M. Milanuk 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Well, as pointed out it looks like this is resolved. It was not immediately apparent (at least not to me) that a 'nomail' subscription was considered a separate list subscription instead of just an option on an existing one. I didn't contact the list owner because in my past experience with mailing lists (not this one specifically) responses are unlikely with anything short of a federal warrant - apparently not the case here.

[opensuse] Trying to change list subscription to 'nomail'
by Monte Milanuk 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hello, I'm trying to change my list subscription to 'nomail' as I generally read and post to most mailing lists via gmane.org as a nntp-mail gateway. On many mailing lists I can go to a web page for subscribers and change my delivery options there; for this list it appears I have to do this by sending commands to the mailing list software. That'd be fine... if it worked. I tried sending a mail to 'opensuse+subscribe-nomail(a)opensuse.org', but I just get a message back saying I'm already subscribed. Okay, fair enough. So I send a message to 'opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org', and responded to the verification email. Yay. Then I sent another email to 'opensuse+subscribe-nomail(a)opensuse.org' but I still got a response that I was already subscribed?. So, I sent another email to 'opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org', which responded telling me I wasn't subscribed, therefore I couldn't unsubscribe?!? Sent another subscription request, which responded that I was already subscribed... etc. Any ideas how to get out of this loop?

[opensuse] bidirectional rsync?
by Carlos E. R. 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm looking for a bidirectional rsync: I want to keep two directories, in diferent machines sincronized, so that whatever new file in any of the machines gets copied to the other machine, detecting automatically which files need to be copied (or even deleted) and in which direction. Windows has this; in Spanish its named "Maletin", I don't know how they translate it to English something like "hand baggage", or "briefcase". The directory defined for this behaviour keeps a hidden file with a database helping the explorer to decide what to copy and where to. Do we have something equivalent? Command line is fine. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
