[opensuse] How to shut down ?
by Koenraad Lelong 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hello, This seems a silly question but I can't shutdown/reboot in KDE. I'm using Suse 11.2 64bit, with all updates. Due to sound-problems I had to install Gnome and afterwards I added KDE. When I log into Gnome, I have a possibility to shutdown the machine, besides switching to another user and restarting the computer. So this is OK. When I log into KDE, all I can do is log out of KDE, there are no other choices. In the login-screen there are possibilities to shutdown or restart the PC. What do I have to install to be able to shutdown the PC from within KDE ? Related maybe : if I try to start a new session from within KDE, nothing happens, the screen turns black. If I move the mouse or press a key, I get a prompt (small window) to give the password of the original session's user. Then I'm back in the original session. What's happening ? Now I remember that I never tried this in Gnome. Thanks for any info. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Mac OS X and openSUSE
by Chuck Payne 08 Mar '10

Guys. I am trying to set up my mac to login my openSUSE remotely via X, now I have found a nice place about login via Terminal.app then issuing this commands /usr/X11R6/bin/X -query 192.168.0.1 /usr/X11R6/bin/Xquartz :1 -query 192.168.0.1 /usr/X11R6/bin/Xnest :1 -geometry 1280x860 -query 192.168.0.1 But when I issue those from the mac, the keyboard is missed up. But if I do this ssh -X 192.168.0.1 Xnest :1 -geometry 1280x810 -query localhost It works. What can I do to get it work on the mac? Any one had any luck? -- ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

[opensuse] Gnome power manager in KDE after the latest update
by Myrosia Dzikovska 07 Mar '10

07 Mar '10

I am running OpenSuse 11.1 on a laptop, using KDE 3.5. After the latest online update, I suddenly started getting the GNOME power manager icon in my tray. The KPowerSave is there as well. Since I never in my life used Gnome, I can only assume that some change in the system is making it appear. Anyone else has seen it? Where would I disable it?

[opensuse] KTorrent, a question
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 07 Mar '10

07 Mar '10

During the use of KTorrent I am confronted with an information about seeders and leechers. In my actual case it informs me that there are 8 seeders and 1 leecher. That information is clear. But what does the figure behind the 8 and 1 in parenthesis mean. 8 (42) and 1 (32). Looked on the web, looked for man pages, info pages and a handbook, all not existing without finding an answer. -- Linux User 183145 using a Pentium III , powered by openSUSE 11.2 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.4.1 (KDE 4.4.1) "release 225" 23:57pm up 14:31, 3 users, load average: 2.53, 1.49, 0.83 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kernel:/openSUSE-11.2 Repo
by Malte Gell 07 Mar '10

07 Mar '10

Hi there, I see the kernel of openSUSE 11.2 has its own repo under http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-11.2/openSUSE_11… I just wonder, if there will be an official security update for the 11.2 kernel, will that very repo also get updated or is this repo just left from the developing process of 11.2? I ask, because I would like to use this kernel with 11.1, I need a 2.6.3x kernel on openSUSE 11.1 and HEAD: is a bit too experiemntal too me.

[opensuse] Remote installation, how to find out public dynamic IP
by Paul Korossy 06 Mar '10

06 Mar '10

Hi Listmates, I'd like to perform an ssh-based network installation on a remote machine using OpenSUSE net install CD. The remote machine is behind a DSL-router that gets dynamic public IP address from the internet provider. My problem is that I cannot connect to it from my local machine without knowing the public IP address of the router because the remote machine has a private IP address. Is it possible to find out the public IP address of the DSL router on the other side after starting the installation program from the CD?
