It is now, yes, after the flood of complaints. When it was first implemented it was the only mode - they had to change that because almost everyone hated it Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problem with Rhythmbox
by Junayeed Ahnaf Nirjhor 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hello, I'm using suse 11.3 KDE and I use rhythmbox for hearing songs. Today I updated my gstreamer my rhythmbox broke down. But I fixed it by removing "gstreamer python" related packages. I searched them via software management. Then Rhythmbox started but two important plugins are not active anymore. One is Context pane and other one is Im status. When I click on them, they're telling : Plugin error: Unable to activate *plugin name* It's also happening with cover art. -- I am me, I wanna be me.

[opensuse] Installing KDE 4.5
by Junayeed Ahnaf Nirjhor 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hello, I'm currently running Suse 11.3 KDE 4.4 but want to try out the 4.5 RC series. Can anybody tell me how to do it? And will that break my system? I don't have any graphics card so graphics driver won't be a issue for me I reckon. Looking forward to your answer. -- I am me, I wanna be me.

[opensuse] slp service: ipv6 compatibility?
by Linda Walsh 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

with the "slp" service, I was trying to limit it's interfaces to my private interfaces when I notice that it's not listening on any ipv6 addresses. Does slp not work with ipv6? I thought service discovery was more important in the ipv6 world where autoconfig seems to be more prevalent? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.3: CUPS fails to recognize USB printers (problem and workaround)
by Lew Wolfgang 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Hi Folks, On a fresh install of 11.3 I noticed that the previously working (11.2) USB connected Xerox Phaser printer didn't show up in CUPS. The printer showed up in boot.msg and lsusb, but the add-printer screen in CUPS was clueless. It seems that this is a known issue with CUPS, where the printer identification info has a new-line character. HAL apparently shielded CUPS from this issue, but with HAL being deprecated in 11.3 the problem was triggered. Read about it here on an Ubuntu forum: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/468701> Where Till Kamppeter (#39) suggests: _+_+_+_+_+_+_+ Paul L, I see, HAL and its CUPS backend were working around the problem that your printer does not return a usable device ID. HAL is deprecated now and therefore the hal CUPS backend is no part of Ubuntu any more. If your Panasonic is your only USB printer you can use the device URI parallel:/dev/usb/lp0 as alternative in Karmic or Lucid. _+_+_+_+_+_+_+ This worked on my 11.3 system. Under the YAST2 "connection wizard" I entered "parallel:/dev/usb/lp0" in the field for IPP devices, which accepts a URI.

[opensuse] SLES11SP1/D-Link DGE-530T Question
by James Pifer 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Anyone know if SLES11SP1 has working gigabit drivers for a D-Link DGE-530T? I installed a couple Via network cards and I'm not able to achieve gigabit speeds, even though I have a gigabit link. Even connecting them directly I can only get 10/100 speed. I tried compiling newer drivers for the Via cards but couldn't get them to compile. Looking at a couple D-Link DGE-530T cards on ebay would like to know they work before purchasing. Any help is appreciated.

[opensuse] HDD mount question
by Andrew Rich 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

I have a question people might be able to help me with. openSUSE 11.3 I have two USB 750 GB external HDD attached to a LINUX server. At the moment, I have mounted /dev/sdb1 as /data1 /dev/sdc1 as /data2 If I reboot, what are the chance the drives will line up again ? How does LINUX "know" which USB port corresponds to what external HDD. I had x2 SATA Internal HDD before, where there was no doubt about mounts. It is important because I want data1 to mirror to data2. Will I have to just plug in /dev/sdb1 first then mount, and then add /dev/sdc1 next just to keep the sequence ?

[opensuse] Kudos KDE3 Maintainers (Will) - 3.5.10.1-48, compiz works with kde3 again :-)
by David C. Rankin 02 Aug '10

Devs, Kudos on the 3.5.10.1-48 kde3 packages for 11.3. Since 11.3 install, compiz has worked with gnome & kde4 but not with kde3 (strange). After installing the kde3 latest builds, compiz is working like a champ again with kde3. Thanks. p.s. - kde3 3.5.10.1-48 + compiz 8.6 = 'a thing of beauty' for the curious (112k): http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/img/ss/kde/suse113-kde3+compiz.jpg -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
