[opensuse] Evolution Mail - reply yo list and default font color
by Marco Calistri 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Good morning listmembers, Would like to know if are there any hacks to add a "reply to list" button into Evolution Mail toolbar, since using the default CTRL+L IMHO is not so user friendly. Other point of question is why the default font color "black" of Evolution compose or reader looks less dark (it is really a grey color) than other default black as e.g. into Firefox or other apps. Is there a way to modify default font color into Evolution?

[opensuse] compiling vmplayer vmmon module on OS 11.2
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

I am trying to start VMware player, and it wants to rebuild it's kernel modules. This has usually worked ok after a kernel update. Unfortunately, it is not working now. The VMware log only contains the kernel command, and not the error messages. So I am doing the same by hand (command is the one vmplayer lists in the log when it tries this): /usr/bin/make -C /tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmmon-only auto-build SUPPORT_SMP=1 HEADER_DIR=/lib/modules/2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop/build/include CC=/usr/bin/gcc GREP=/usr/bin/make IS_GCC_3=no VMCCVER=4.4 Using 2.6.x kernel build system. make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmmon-only' make -C /lib/modules/2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop/build/include/..

Perhaps as the result of a kernel upgrade, the package that would contain this file is missing?

There is, but as this thread demonstrates, then about 50 other people would need to be handled the same way.

[opensuse] zypper question
by Robert Schweikert 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Hi, With the changes to zypper from openSUSE 11.2 to openSUSE 11.3 I am still confused as to the mechanism that gets me the results I am after. One of the additional repositories I have configured on the system is http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/Appliances/openSU… as I want to track the Kiwi development packages. After I upgraded the machine from openSUSE 11.2 to 11.3 I ran zypper install kiwi-LATEST_VERSION_AT_THE_TIME and chose to change the "vendor" for the Kiwi packages to be the Appliances repo. With this I figured that future "zypper up" usage would get me the latest packages of kiwi. That does not appear to be the case. I also tried "zypper patch" and it still does not pick up the packages from the Appliances repo. When I use the YaST GUI to manage software I can see the updated Kiwi packages and can click on them to get the latest version. What do I have to do to get zypper to pull these packages via "zypper up" or "zypper patch"?

[opensuse] What's the purpose of Plasma?
by Ilya Chernykh 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

I have just discovered that in KDE3 you can imbeed any windows into the desktop. The windows then has no borders, cannot be moved, shown behind all other windows, disappears from the taskbar and window selector. Like as in this screenshot: http://www.linux.org.ru/gallery/5266021.png Of note that the application have not to be specially written to allow for that. What's the purpose of Plasma then? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE community repo
by Ken Schneider - openSUSE 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

As reported earlier: Lubos posted to this same list on the 24th stating that KDE:Community and KDE:KDE4:Community have been removed. All the packages that haven't been moved elsewhere are now in home:llunak:attic But it appears that even the "attic" area is now toast. I am looking for a couple of packages that were in the community repo and are now gone. Does anyone know where the package may? Specifically I am looking for the plasmoid called "quotesee". -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
