by Doug McGarrett 12 Apr '10

Is there any way to make Konq. open with Google instead of some kind of ad for SuSE or KDE or whatever it is?

[opensuse] Good fixed width serif font - no joke...
by David C. Rankin 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

Guys, FYI, I stumbled across a very good 'serif' monospace font. It's rare that I've ever seen a good serif mono other than the clunky courier or cumberland styles. 'Verily Serif Mono' looks really good. Screenshot and download: http://www.dafont.com/verily-serif-mono.font?nb_ppp=50 (Gnu/GPL License) p.s. dafont.com has a wide variety of all types of fonts -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Synaptics touchpad dies after s2ram
by Carlos E. R. 11 Apr '10

11 Apr '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, Prompted by a similar question ("synaptics touchpad after update" from Stefan Quand) I'll ask mine, it is perhaps related. At least, his post has given me info on where to look. Simply put, my touchpad dies after suspend to ram (and sometimes after suspend to disk). The button that enables it gets stuck, with the LED off or on as it were before, but not responding. It simply disappears from existence: there are no log entries, except this at the end of Xorg.0.log: (--) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: touchpad found <=== (II) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Device reopened after 1 attempts. (II) HP Webcam-101: Device reopened after 1 attempts. (II) Sleep Button: Device reopened after 1 attempts. (II) Power Button: Device reopened after 1 attempts.

Do you think I could force the touchpad mouse to reload, somehow? Sometimes, if after a s2ram and failed mouse I suspend to disk (hibernate) the touchpad resuscitates. But of those times, some it is recognized not as a touchpad, but as a plain mouse, so that "tapping" is not recognized, and acceleration is way off. I did open a Bugzilla, but first they thought that it was not related to kernel (no log entries) and bounced it to xfree guys. After a month, they said that "I will not investigate a problem in 11.2, try to reproduce in factory" or something like that (I'm off the network right now) - wontfix. However, after Stefan Quand question I discovered that it must indeed be related to the kernel, so I'll reopen and reassign to the kernel chaps again. (I'm using gnome and I do have the gnome update mentioned by David C. Rankin; but not the last kernel update, I think: I'm on 2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-01-27 08:20:11 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 - and learning of Stefan's problem I'm reluctant to upgrade) - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

[opensuse] Klauncncher problem _ Nobody knows ?

Hello SuSE people, 2nd posting First off, running 11.2 64 bit with KDE4.4.2 As root, I am prparing to make a backup of this system using rsync. I have a USB drive with which I do this. I have four ext3 partitions on the device.The USB drive come up in device notifier and I can open it in /media where the partitions are seen. (mounted ??) I can see directories/folders of a previous backup from one of my other OS's but the folder will not open and I get the following message. "Could not start process. Cannot talk to Klauncher. The name org.kde.klauncher was not provided by any service files," I also cannot rename the directories or change any permissions, getting the same message, but I can delete things from the folder. Anyone have a clue as to what is going on here? What the heck is org.kde.klauncher ?
