[opensuse] How to resize KDE desktop widgets?
by Anton Aylward 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

I'm running kde 4.5.5 and I have a desktop widget that shows ~/Desktop and another that shows ~/Documents I changed the icon size (successfully) so I can put them side-by-side (successfully), but I seem unable to resize the windows the widgets display in from their creations size. Yes I know about the 4 control icons, the box with 2 diagonal arrows that does 'drag', the circle-arrow, the spanner that does 'config' and the box with what looks like 4 arrows but brings up the browser. I only seem to be able to 'drag' the windows, not resize them. Hmm. Clock and weather applets too - can't resize. Now is this finger trouble? I'm trying to resize them much as I would a normal windows by dragging a corner in and out. What's wrong? Me or the software? Or the mouse? Or some other setting I've missed? -- The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. --Bertrand Russell -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Drew Adams 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

hello everyone! Is there a project like wikipedia but for man pages or info pages? If so, where is it? If not... do you think it would be a good idea for the openSUSE community to start/foster such a project?

[opensuse] PPC Factory
by Vincenzo Barranco 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

Hi All, I know that there isn't anymore support for the ppc architecture, but was promised that the ppc factory version will be still deployed. I've downloaded the last snapshot of it ( http://powerpc.opensuse.org/factory/iso/ ) and the iso is not bootable. Try to boot from the 11.1 net ppc added the factory repo, and the repo is unusable too. Anyone can please check this?

[opensuse] CUPS doesn't recognize Brother HL-1430
by Matthias Meyr 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

Hi, I own a Brother HL-1430 printer. Somehow CUPS doesn't recognize my printer is connected (via USB). lsusb shows the connected printer: Bus 002 Device 007: ID 04f9:001a Brother Industries, Ltd HL-1430 Laser Printer But neither CUPS nor the YaST printing module "find" my printer. YaST tells me "No Connections" after the attempt to detect a connected printer. Clicking "Detect more" doesn't help either. I'm running openSUSE 11.3 32bit Matthias -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
