Will we actually see one here soon, ever?? I look for retailers a and get a ''Watch this spot'' announcement. Asked Amazon ,about it as I bought earlier versions there the never heard of Suse Linux at all , except for an old book they'll happily sell me, and of course I can order from the British shop, tho the US shop doesn't know that I know they even exist.. Also, Checked in w/ Novell, nah.. they aren't talking either.. unless I want some real huge job done. were a small shop here.. and what w/ the current biz climate in the states, we aren't going to get a lot bigger real quick. So, suggestions? Get a European box? ( gotta be a box, the bosses like that.It's a security blanket, so let's keep them happy shall we?) Thanks for any helpful suggestions, j -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] system tray trouble
by Peter Suetterlin 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

Hello list, I'm having trouble with my system tray (I think). It contains 3 items: the notifier, kmix and opera. After an suspend-to-RAM it won't work properly anymore: While hovering the mouse on the kmix icon will show the current volume setting, left-klicking will not show the popup, and mouse-wheel doesn't change the volume. Right-clicking either does nothing at all, or only shows the system tray menu but not the application-specific one. If I remove the system tray, then re-add it, everuthing is back to normal. Is someone else seeing similar problems?

[opensuse] KDE4.3 panel and resolution questions
by Regis Matejcik 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

I'm using OpenSuse 11.2 (64 bit), KDE 4.3. I think KDE4.3 looks great, and I've been experimenting with some of the "new" features. I seem to have hosed the "panel" at the bottom. I was trying to add a few widgets, and mistakenly added one twice. When I thought I was deleting the widget - a actually deleted the entire panel. I figured out how to install a new panel, which was completely empty. I added back all the "widgets" I wanted, but the panel no longer shows the running programs. That is, if I minimize anything, it doesn't show up down in the panel where it can then be maximized. It just minimizes to nothing. In other words, I've got just blank space in the panel between a start arrow on the left, and a system tray on the right. I'm guessing there's something rather obvious I'm overlooking here, but I've been through the config menu, the panel menu, and widget menu with no luck yet. Any hints are appreciated ! Simpler question. The system always defaults to 1024x768. I like to use 1152x864. I'm using an Nvidia GeForce 7050 PV / nForce 630a Graphics card. I can change the resolution easily enough using the Nvidia utility from the main menu, but it won't save the config file, so when I log out or restart - it always goes back to the old resolution. I've tried doing it as root, but it still re-writes the x config file to start with the larger resolution. This is a minor issue, but if there's a simple fix it would be great.

[opensuse] Kernel question
by Jim Hatridge 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

Hi all, It seems that I need to upgrade my Kernel so that I can get my printer working. BUT I've never done this, I've always just waited and installed the newer SuSE. Anyway I'm using 11.2 SuSE with the kernel that came with it. Could someone point me to a "how to" to upgrade this kernel to the newest?

Note that the tables > displayed on *035 and *036 are correctly displayed for the narrower pages. I haven't payed too much attention to Edital035 and 36, since I've already read those two. Interestingly, But I ca almost say for certain that those, or at least 035, worked flawlessly in OO 3.1. I can be wrong still. 256.rtf on the other hand is the one that I get more amazed with your results. As you can see in the following link, the table is completely truncated in that file when opened with OO 3.2. Never got the chance to test that one with 3.1 since this is a new file, anyway. http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/5888/imagem2zl.png Can you please confirm that you are not seeing the same behaviour from the picture above in your system?

They probably purposly release > differing specs to the ?format?. Absolutely, this is mickeysoft format. And I'm absolutely in the blank about which crappy piece of "software" was used, but I would really guess the last version of their "oriffice" suite. Anyway, since the openoffice team tries its best to properly open those "formats" (and they want and got an "ISO award"... ending world...), I thought it would worth to see if anyone else got these issues before informing them.

[opensuse] Atheros & 11.2
by Ciro Iriarte 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Hi, I recently upgraded my wifi card from Intel 3945a/b/g to an Atheros AR5008 and after little use I see the card (or just wpa_supplicant) frequently disconnects. Anybody has this card working properly?, I would like to know if it's a driver or hardware issue.
