[opensuse] Dutch Manual or Documentation

by LLLActive＠GMX.Net

Hi all, I have a Dutch friend that I converted from M$Win on his Asus EeePC to openSUSE 11.2 All the years I saw the documentation being installed when I installed the distro, but only used it in the beginning. Now I need a newbie type of handbook for my friend in Dutch, from the very basic to guide the user around the KDE 4.x and how to use and install programmes etc. The first SuSE systems had a nice users manual, and an admin manual in the box. A printable version was also in the installed system. Is it still done? I have not tracked it down yet. Does something like that exist with the newest versions? A PDF will also be OK, then I can print it out. He needs a book at the moment, as he is almost 70 years old and likes to have a paper copy ... he is eager as H-ll to learn openSuSE 11.2. Some Dutch book suggestions will also be welcome. TIA Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox 3.6.3 add-on manager not running

by Konstantinos Georgokitsos

Dear all, I have Firefox 3.6.3-1.2 from buildservice installed including as I suspect the correct version of xulrunner: 1.9.2.3. I keep getting the following error: "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script: file:///usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.3/components/nsExtensionManager.js:623" If I try to stop the script the error shows up again. Any ideas please? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] WiFi and KDE4 - systray icon

by C

I recently tried out the latest PCLinuxOS release, and noticed something... in their KDE4 build, the systray icon for the WiFi is the familiar graduated bargraph style... it's very readable, easy to see signal strength on etc. Back to the openSUSE KDE4 builds, and we've got that useless circle thing that's basically unusable as a visual reference to see WiFi signal strength etc... it's just a white and blue circle... and the microscopic signal strength bar on the right is... well.. microscopic. What's the trick to enable or use a more "normal" and readable WiFi systray icon in KDE4/KNetworkManager? I've been poking Google and various forums, but haven't turned up anything useful yet.

[opensuse] opensource authoring tool

by medwinz

Hi all, This is maybe out of topics but I want to ask if someone here uses open source authoring tools and can share the experience. My friend use CourseLab (which is free but not open source) to produce SCORM content for LMS. It has very good function but only run on Windows. Is there any Linux based alternatives to it? Any thought really appreciated. regards, -- medwinz ======================= http://medwinz.blogsome.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Fwd: [opensuse] WiFi and KDE4 - systray icon

by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC)

My first thought would be to find out the name of te package that gives the bar graph. Find te source code for it and build it on opensuse. Linux code in PCLinuxOS should be able to be used in any other distro.

[opensuse] Thunderbird config and content file: openSUSE vs Ubuntu

by Boris Epstein

Hi all, It appears that while under openSUSE the Thunderbird's files go into $HOME/.thunderbird in Ubuntu the are stored in $HOME/.mozilla-thunderbird . Not only that but the content appears somehow different - linking or copying content to the correct folder does not work. So, does anybody have any idea what all of this is about? What I am trying to accomplish is manage things in such a way as to allow users to use Thunderbird the same way whether they log into their account from a SUSE machine or an Ubuntu one. Thanks in advance for any insight into this mess. Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
