[opensuse] MAILADDR in mdadm.conf
by Bob Williams 06 Mar '10

06 Mar '10

I'm monitoring my RAID arrays at regular intervals, and would like mdadm to send me an email if it detects problems. Am I bob@localhost or bob(a)linux.local? Cron seems to use this second version.

[opensuse] libopenais2
by James Pifer 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

Anyone know what version of libopenais2 contains libSaCkpt.so.3? I have a SLES 11 server that needs this. My version of libopenais2 is libopenais2-0.80.5-16.1 and has libSaCkpt.so.2. I also need libcpg.so.3, which I'm hoping would also be in libopenais2.

[opensuse] Anyone running nvidia GeForce 7600 with proprietary drivers?
by Bob Williams 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

My wife has a four year old Toshiba Qosmio G30 laptop, which has been running Windows Media Edition (a variant of XP) until about a week ago, when I installed openSUSE 11.2 + KDE 4.3.5 ;) She seems to be happy with the transformation so far. :) A label on the front of the machine says it has an nVidia GeForce 7600 GPU, so I installed the appropriate nvidia driver 190.53_2.6.31.5_0.1-8.1 This was a disaster, resulting in no graphics login at all, and eventually I reinstalled 11.2 just to get back to the generic driver (none of my fiddling with xorg.conf seemed to work). Is anyone else using this graphics card, and if so which driver are you using?

[opensuse] I lost the active applications in the tray ;(
by Nico Sabbi 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

Hi, I'm using kde 4.1.3. I don't know how I did it, but I lost the icons of the current applications in the tray and I can't find a way to restore them. I searched in all menus and all of KDE's settings, but I can't see the right settings. Can you help me, please? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox right click problem
by Anton Aylward 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

In firefox, a right click on link should allow one to open that link in a new tab. When I start firefox it does, but after a while using it, filling in forms, some google searches, that ability seems to go away. This change in behaviour might be die to the upgrade to 11.2 (but I doubt it), or to FF 3.6 (but I doubt it). I've tried disabling some recent (and not so recent!) plugins to no avail. What left? Some settings? Oh right: my user.js is full of them, seems to be automagically generated and I'm reluctant to start deleting it randomly. Google for this produces a quarter of a million hits! ARGH! And you know what? A short while after that, clicking n the menu bar - left or right mouse button - stops working as well. Right and left click work on other applications such as Konqueror. Any suggestions?

Is there a way to configure the task manager, e.g., add the action 'open/move to current desktop' to the middle mouse button?

[opensuse] Kmail and Mailmerge
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

Have googled for this subject but did not find much recent information. Seems that we with opensuse working with Kmail still have to use openoffice. Has there been no change since 2004, one of the uppermost find on google and today?
