[opensuse] How to get wifi going on both 11.2 and 11.3M7 on eee-pc 901?
by Oddball 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

If tells me up, but no connection can be made to any server. In 11.3M7 the blue light can be switched on/of with Fn-F2, but no OSD shows what is on: bluetooth, or wifi. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball, aka M9.

[opensuse] Kmail in KDE4: Sorting messages by who started the thread
by Stan Goodman 20 Jun '10

20 Jun '10

When I started up kmail for the first time in its kde4 form, I was surprised to see it organizing the inbox by who started the thread. For some fortunate reason, this is not the way kmail is arranged in my v11,2.kde4 laptop machine, so apparently is it not compulsory. I would like to ditch it and revert to the simpler way messages were organized in kde3, but I do not find how to do that. How can I do this? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.2 -- unable to reconnect to WiFi after connection loss
by Arun Khan 20 Jun '10

20 Jun '10

I have stock openSUSE 11.2 (64bit) on my Acer laptop 5542 (Athlon II). I am using the default KDE setup for desktop. Network setup is managed via NetworkManager. WiFi connectivity on AP is WPA2 Personal. I have configured the NetworkManger profile accordingly with the shared pass phrase. Upon laptop power up WiFi connection is established - no issues. The connection stays up for for 2-3 hours. However, if I the laptop goes into screen saver "lock mode" then I am unable to re-establish the WiFi connection. Clicking on the Netmanager applet, I request reconnection to the WiFi AP. I get the Netmanager dialog box [1] with the "configured" pass phrase already in the field. Clicking on OK says "Authenticating" but nothing happens and then I get the same dialog box [1] and this goes on ad infinitum. So far, system reboot is the only way to re-establish WiFi connection. Any suggestions to fix the problem welcome. TIA, -- Arun Khan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OT - does anyone here have any experience with Lancom routers?
by Per Jessen 20 Jun '10

I have a new Lancom 821 that I need to configure - the setup I have today with a Zyxel box does not work on the Lancom, so I'm clearly doing something wrong. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.5°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Ejecting a USB stick in kde4
by Stan Goodman 20 Jun '10

20 Jun '10

In my v11,2 laptop machine, when a USB stick is inserted, a corresponding icon appears on the Desktop, through which one can do many things, including ejecting the device. In my desktop machine, in contrast, this important and handy icon does not appear. Worse, if there is a way to eject the stick by use of anything in the GUI, I haven't found it. How can I get the same convenient icon on the Desktop machine? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I understand the problem is: 1) you open the device with dolphin 2) you close the dolphin window 3) lsof shows nothing has the device 4) umount via kde fails (device notifier says device is in use) 5) manual umount succeeds (thus, it wasn't busy) To me, step 4 is buggy. I assume you have done all the updates (from the update repo)? - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

I already notice one can have two kind of icons on (any) kde: simple links (clic on a file, paste it as link) or complete .desktop file (right clic, create link to a new app), with completely different behavior, the most obvious being the ability - or not - to change the displayed graphic. thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-support-the-Linux-Documentation-Project/372… http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-fan-page-of-Claire-Dodin/106485119372062?… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
