[opensuse] Getting NTP address from DHCP?
by James Knott 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Can OpenSUSE get the NTP server address via NTP? I don't see any option for enabling this and I also have a public server configured in the NTP settings. If possible, I'd prefer to use the DHCP provided server when available. I have looked at the DHCP offer, with Wireshark, and can see the NTP server address is included. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Burning Audio CD from MP3
by Lucky Leavell 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

OSE 11.2 with K3B 2.0.1 I was attempting to create an audio CD from a MP3 file usiing K3B and received the following error: MP3 Audio Decoder plugin not found. K3b could not load or find the MP3 decoder plugin. This means that you will not be able to create Audio CDs from MP3 files. Many Linux distributions do not include MP3 support for legal reasons. Solution: To enable MP3 support, please install the MAD MP3 decoding library as well as the K3b MAD MP3 decoder plugin (the latter may already be installed but not functional due to the missing libmad). Some distributions allow installation of MP3 support via an online update tool. The other popup indicated another alternative, namely converting MP3 to WAV or some other format K3B understands: Unable to handle the following files due to an unsupported format: You may manually convert these audio files to wave using another application supporting the audio format and then add the wave files to the K3b project. I have the following K3B modules installed: k3b k3b-codecs k3b-lang kde3-k3b <== Do I need these if I am using KDE4? kde3-codecs kde3-lang Do I need other modules? Repositories? If there are any articles or threads in the forums covering this, please post the links.

[opensuse] OpenOffice : autocorr
by Gilles SICHE 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

ello, I have just installed Suse on a computer and I would like to paste into Open Office, the "autocorr" files that I use on another computer so that my automated corrections are taken into account by the new system. Would anyone be able to tell me where the autocorr directory is in Suse? Or would anyone be able to tell me how to find such a directory in Suse?

[opensuse] 11.3 running from usb
by lynn 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

I have a 16GB usb stick running 11.3 on my laptop after the hard drive failed. It works fine with the latest kde and openoffice. Remarkable. A replacement hard drive is not possible. My question is about how long the stick will last. It looks as if the limit is around 10 000 writes. How long is that at eg. 24/7 for opensuse?

[opensuse] MySQL Load Data Local Infile problem
by Bob Williams 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

To the database gurus I've just started exploring mysql (I'm a db newbie), and run into a 'feature'. When I do LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/path/to/file.txt' INTO TABLE mytable; I get Error 1148: The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version I know that it's disabled for security reasons, but I don't want to have to enter each record individually. Is there a hack to get round this restriction, or do I have to recompile mysql?
