[opensuse] Kvirc4 should have different name that Kvirc3
by Илья Черных 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hi! I use KDE3 and kvirc. Until today all was OK, but with the recent update the system updated KDE3-integrated Kvirc (kvirc3) to a Qt4 version. This is strange as it seems the Qt3-based package even created a shortcut "KVirc 3" which now runs Kvirc 4 actually. Previously it was possible to install the both versions at the same time. Please, maintainers, correct this bug. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] install question
by Tony Alfrey 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hello; I'm amazed but I've not installed any software on this SuSE 9.3 box in a very long time and I've totally forgotten how. I have an Adobe flashplayer plug-in to install (for Firefox) and I have an rpm or a tar.gz file sitting on my desktop. I thought I would let YAST do it but it doesn't "see" the .rpm or the .tar. I suppose I could install the .rpm from a terminal but I'm open to better suggestions. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problems with openSUSE 11.3
by Jose Thadeu Pinto Dantas Cavalcante 11 Jul '10

11 Jul '10

Hi, I install openSUSE 11.3 and I am almost 100% satisfied, but there are two problems happens in my installation. Some icons are blurred sometimes, maybe new graphic card driver problem, an Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT. The other problem is concerned with KDE 4.4.5, I don't remember if it happens with 4.4.4 version. I was testing color schemes to see what is better for me, I change the current setup to another schema, no problem, but when I change to a second times all the system was frozen, I need to reset the computer. No keyboard working, mouse move but the buttons are not working. The rest is ok for me.

You can build from .srpm, but for some reason, the hosted packages won't install. hugin kdelibs3 kdebindings3 kdebase3-workspace quanta kdebase3-apps kdebase-extra kdebase3 kdevelop3 -- David C.

[opensuse] Which facility provides new Hardware Detection?
by Ciro Iriarte 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

Hi!, I know that this days OS (and GNU/Linux in general) can detect automagically most hardware, the other day a guy asked me what would be the equivalent to RedHat's Kudzu in SLES/Opensuse and I wasn't sure what to answer, Kudzu is a service that provides with a wizard for new hardware detection and configuration for what I've heard, but I don't think we use/need anything like that... If kudzu just provides with configuration wizards according to the new detected hardware and doesn't do the actual detection, that would make more sense...

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.3 with kiwi tool imagewriter especially for netbooks
by pistazienfresser 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

Hello listings! As I understand openSUSE should come with the kiwi tool imagewriter http://wiki.opensuse.org/Product_highlights#Netbook_support especially to make an installation to a netbook without a CD/DVD drive more easy (if you have already a openSUSE installed somewhere?). But not in the wiki article http://wiki.opensuse.org/SDB:Live_USB_stick and not anywhere else I can find an explanation of the use of the graphical "imagewriter" (legal problems with the name?). Is an improvement planned in the description and presentation of (the use of) that kiwi tool imagewriter? I may be a bit conservative but I do not think it clever to advertise a feature in "product highlights" and not make it sure that everybody can use it...
