[opensuse] Incredible Fractal Work for your Desktop
by David C. Rankin 28 May '10

28 May '10

Guys, Rarely do I pass on art, but this guy 'nmsmith' does some incredible work with fractals that will blow you away. You will find most of his work at ceades, but his submission tonight to deviantART is well worth passing a link along. Put is on your desktop, or if you like it dark, take white to alpha and put it over a glue/gray radial gradient. http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/?order=5&offset=192#/d2qi4l4 Yes, that's a fractal.

[opensuse] Wierd IPv6 address problem
by James Knott 28 May '10

28 May '10

I have a network with an IPv6 subnet. Today, I noticed that I cannot reach www.bieringer.de [2001:a60:9002:1::186:3] from my main linux box, but I can from other computers, including one running Windows. This would indicate that my router is working properly and the problem is only on this one computer. Another strange thing about this computer is that it has an extra IP address (2001:db8:1:0:215:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx) beyond the link local and subnet addresses. This sort of address or subnet does not appear on any other computer. I have no idea where to look for the cause of this issue. I'm running OpenSUSE 11.0 on all Linux systems. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Help with Makefile patch - it fails...
by David C. Rankin 27 May '10

27 May '10

Guys, One thing I'm terrible at is figuring out why a patch failed to do its thing. Here I was trying to build gnomenu and it has a patch to accommodate the ../lib64 placement of stuff on x86_64 boxes. The patch fails and creates a Makefile.rej, which looks like nothing but a patch file to me. Is there any trick to using the .rej file? How? The patch applies correctly to everything but the simple Makefile and it has got me stalled. If anyone can help, please let me know. Then Makefile, Makefile.rej and gnomenu_64.patch are here: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/openSUSE/110/Makefile http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/openSUSE/110/Makefile.rej http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/openSUSE/110/gnomenu_64.patches The makefiles ~2k and the patchfile ~10k (of which only 2 hunks that apply to the Makefile fail) I'm interested in figuring out how to solve this riddle. -- David C.

[opensuse] [URGENT] Assistance Requested in Looking for Dr Francis T. Seow, Harvard Law School Research Fellow
by Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) 27 May '10

27 May '10

Hi, First, I would like to apologize for the out-of-topic post. I will keep this very short. Does anybody know Dr. Francis T. Seow, the former Solicitor-General from the Republic of Singapore? I want to contact him but can't seem to find his email address or telephone number on the internet. Could you help me? Do you also know how I can contact all the justices of the Judicial Committee of the UK Privy Council and all the Lords of the UK House of Lords? According to the UK Parliament website, it says that many Peers do not have public email addresses. Thank you very much.

[opensuse] ssh on 11.2 - NOT
by Dave Howorth 26 May '10

26 May '10

I've just installed 11.2 on a machine and can't get an ssh connection. When I installed, there was an option for firewall and below that something about ssh. I selected to disable the firewall and whatever option about ssh disappeared. Now the machine is running, I see 'connection refused' when I try to connect. ps shows no sshd process. Neither the gnome control panel nor yast has an entry for ssh that I have found, nor does the xinetd list. There appears to be no help button on the yast screen, and pressing F1 does nothing. I'll keep poking around, but can anybody tell me how to start sshd and how to find help for yast/configuration on 11.2?

[opensuse] Nvidia: cloning notebook desktop to external monitor
by Malte Gell 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hello, I have a notebook and sometimes want to connect it to my bigger, external monitor. My goal is to completely clone the desktop on the notebook to the external monitor. The notebook does 1600x900 and the external monitor does 1680x1050. So far I had no luck. Once, when I started an app, the app itself was seen on the notebook and the desktop on the external screen, or vice versa..... I just want an *exact clone*. I want to see my desktop at 1600x900 on the notebook and when I plug in the external monitor i want to see my desktop at 1680x1050. Below is xorg.conf created with the nvidia tool under KDE, but it does not what i want. Who uses such a setup and can show me their xorg.conf?
