[opensuse] How to force Thunderbird to use Google Chromium as browser?
by jsa 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

I have set /usr/bin/chromium as the default browser in Kde (4.4.4) Personal settings, and everything seems to honor that except Thunderbird, which insists on launching Firefox. What do I need to change to force TB to use my default browser.? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Dave Howorth 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

I'm looking for an external USB disk >= 500 GB to be used with both Linux and M$ for backups. Are there any good sites to check out, or any known compatibility issues like the freeagent problem? My google-foo isn't working well today. Thanks, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

It was very well known and accepted in the 2002-2005 timeframe that xfs on linux often would replace the content of files with nulls. ANd I mean exclusively nulls. Thus many people that had the poor luck to use xfs for their home directory had the kde config files turned into null filled files due to a power outage.

[opensuse] kernel info
by Mark Misulich 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hi, I am asking for a little instruction about drivers included in kernels. I have read somewhere that the wireless driver for the realtek rtl8192se wlan card is supposed to be included in the linux kernel 2.6.35 version, but I haven't been able to verify this when I have tried to look at info in linuxkernel.org Maybe someone on the list can teach me how to research this and where to find the information.
