[opensuse] Groupware; Citadel
by Maurice 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

I'm looking at a few groupware packages for a non-profit I help out... At this time, I'm leaning toward Citadel; http://www.citadel.org/doku.php > > Citadel is a turnkey open-source solution for email and collaboration. One simple installation delivers a multitude of powerful features, including: > > * email > * calendaring/scheduling > * address books > * bulletin boards > * mailing list server > * instant messaging > * wiki > * multiple domain support > * a powerful web interface > Basically, I need to set them up with something that does e-mail and calendaring and when changes are needed or new accounts are needed I don't have to do a site visit and touch each computer - or manage several types of e-mail clients. Anyone using this package, or know of it? Any feedback, or alternate recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

[opensuse] issues with opensuse 11.3 x86_64
by Vahe Avedissian 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

Folks, I finally got 11.r installed and for the most part it works great. However I wanted to know if anyone encountered the following Issues and if there is a known solution. I could Not find anything googling nor on the forum. 1. Both the live cd and dvd hang at partition detection. Cause is I have a dmraid array and this is not being handled correctly. 11.2 handled this perfectly. 2. As regular user I cannot mount luk cryptyo partitions. I get some dolphin error. Root can mount these ok. Worked fine in 11.e 3. Partition references in menu.lst are parr by-id and part be /dev device entry (root). Adding a new drive breaks grub booting. Seemed to work fine in 11.2 If there is documentation on these can someone point me to it? Otherwise another great release!

by John Bennett 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

Just installed (fresh) 11.3 x64 / KDE on new hardware - Core i5/4gb. The background of the main panel doesn't seem to have picked up a proper background - is just grey/striped. Don't recall that as being normal.... How can I configure it?

2010. szeptember 5. 3:57 napon Anton Aylward <anton.aylward(a)rogers.com> írta: [snip] > > Thanks. That's what I wanted. > > I even did not notice that "mixer" is a clickable button. > > I thought it was the name of the application. > > LOL. > Just like so many other tools and applications, eh? Well, I got used to KDE3. You probably know too that in KDE3 if you left click on the system tray volume icon you get the volume bar just upper the system tray, and if you right click on it you get the context menu. In context menu the top line says "Kmix" and it is not clickable. I just thought that in KDE4 the "Mixer" line replaces this line and I did not try to click it. And in KDE3 if you click in the context menu "show mixer window" it opens the volume manager in a window. I expected this to occur in KDE4 but it showed the mixer bar at the left upper corner instead. I did not know how to open the kmix window. You explained it, thanks for it. (In the meantime I realized that KDE3 kmix also shows the "mixer" line in the volume bar when you left click the system tray button. As I barely use kmix in KDE3 (I prefer KAMix) I did not remember this. > > Now I don't see what the right click > show mixer window > > option is good for at all.

Right click it appears on the top left No. It gives the context menu which is expected. In the context menu there is a line saying: "Show Mixer Window". Clicking on this the volume bar is opened in the upper left corner. For me mixer window looks like this: http://i56.tinypic.com/mqbll.jpg Clicking "show mixer window" opens the volume bar which is definitely not the mixer window; that is the line saying "show mixer window" is misleading. As I see no logic behind putting a volume bar into the upper left corner after clicking in the right lower corner, I thought that this is not the normal behavior. If this is the normal behavior then the clickable line should be changed according to this. Not? > and Left click it appears on the bottom right Correct and expected. > > That seems logical enough to me :-) > > [and if you middle click the icon changes size :-) ] Yes, since mute, unmute, and the icon reflects this change. That is nice. Thanks for your help again, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
