[opensuse] Python 3 and Open Office 3.2?
by Dotan Cohen 05 May '10

05 May '10

I am looking for Python 3 and Open Office 3.2 for OpenSuse 11.2. I assume that they are available in the Build Service somewhere, but with all the associated packages I cannot find them: http://software.opensuse.org/search Is there anywhere else to try to find Suse software?

Many _normal_ questions meets same answer: If you don't have to use it, just don't use it but many other users use it. Does any new Linux/KDE user need to scan multiple pages/docs into one pdf? Is it better to multiply programs which offer similar functionality? We don't need a mess in fresh kmenu. Look ie. on ubuntu menu... simple and all kind of programs installed by default. -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards, Mariusz Fik, openSUSE Community Member

[opensuse] Thunderbird 3.0.4 - Deleting Large No. of Messages leaves Tbird indexing and eating 87% of CPU for hours...
by David C. Rankin 05 May '10

05 May '10

Guys, I'm so frustrated with Thunderbird I'm about to ditch it. I guess the problem has to do with the new indexing of messages. In the past I always like tbird because it was lightning fast and I was never left waiting on a sluggish email client to finish doing something I didn't tell it to do in the first place (like kmail). In the past few 3.x releases, tbird has gotten slower, and slower, and slower.... Tonight, I went to clean out my vbox folder since the mailing list has changed to a new sourceforge list. That left me deleting ~2500 messages. I scanned the subjects on the unread ones and would generally delete ~100 messages at a time. I finished the deletes in ~ 15 minutes. That was about 2 hours ago and tbird is still indexing and lying its ass off telling me it is 99% complete with message XXXX of YYYY -- just before it just increases both numbers and in reality tells you it has thousands more to do. Does anybody have a fix for this slow indexing problem (other than turning it off). Wolfgang, do you know if Mozilla is working on anything to fix this problem? So far it looks like ever bit of software that tries some new latest-greatest indexing tools makes a complete mess of their product and ends up with a fiasco on their hands. Can you say "beagle" again, or stringi/nepomuk/avahi? Has anyone who has turned the indexing off tried to use search in tbird 3.x? If the only difference from getting rid of indexing is longer searches, that's fine. I don't do that many searches anyway and I would gladly trade a 5 minute delay in searching ever couple of days or so to get rid of hours of indexing, a "HOT" laptop due to running with the CPU pegged for hours and gigabyte index files scattered all over my box. Anyone have any experience after turning this junk off? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] saving web pages in print-format
by Istvan Gabor 05 May '10

05 May '10

Hello: Several web sites offer their pages for viewing them in the browser and for printing. Eg. at "http://www.mno.hu/portal/711171" clicking "Nyomtatható verzió" at the end of the article opens a new tab/window with the print version of the article. What is important for me that I can save this page as an html page using the browser's save function. Other sites direct the content to the printer when you click the print version. Eg. at "http://nol.hu/belfold/13_1__mit_titkol_borokai_gabor_" clicking on the printer icon opens the printer dialog. But I would like to save the print version as an html page in such cases as well. Is it possible somehow? Thank you in advance, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] why desktop does copy instead of rename?
by Daniel Bauer 05 May '10

05 May '10

Hi, Using Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop i686, KDE: 4.3.5 (KDE 4.3.5) "release 3", desktop as "folder view" when I rename a folder that I have placed on the desktop (right-cklick on icon, rename) the folder gets copied into a new folder with the new name and in the end the old folder is deleted. Why? This is really strange, isn't it? To rename large folders (a camera card with some GB's for example) takes quite a while because of the useless copy, instead of just the time of a click. Is this a feature or a bug? regards Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com my new blog: http://www.guapamania.com/wordpress/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Yes it does! I followed all your steps one by one, and finally at the end, by commenting out only the smtps line in master.cf, postfix started and I've got a flood of emails coming in from my backupmx. That did the trick. Is there anything I need to do now to that file, or am I safe to leave it as is with that line commented out? > One more remark concerning your smtp line: > You have restricted the smtp port to 10 processes.

The smtpd process > doesn't take a lot of resources. I would definitely recommend it. On this point, in comparing my old master.cf to the new one, the old one had the value set at only 2. I guess the update changed the value to 10? I do use amavis-new running (since the original setup). What would be a good value to use in this case? Thanks for your good help. I'd have never have solved that on my own. You too Carlos. Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

That won't > work -- need to give net start, so... That was it. Thanks. The config file does not support the /XX syntax. But the problem was as you pointed out. I wonder why I forgot this. Perhaps it is because I seldom set these up. I think it is because I do not use subnets in this context. I was too quick to change the oft used .0 at the end into a specific machine's address. Geesh.
