[opensuse] installing optimized packages like Gentoo
by Carlos Alberto Gueto Tettay 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

Hi everybody, Gentoo linux is an special distro that can be automatically optimized and it offers an extreme performance according to machine specifications. I was wondering if I can install optimized packages with zypper, something like from source, just like Gentoo Humbly, Carlos -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] chrootkit for openSUSE
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

In earlier versions of opensuse I had chrootkit installed and as far as I can remember it was found in the suse repositories. I did not find it though. Where can I find trustworthy source for a rootkit detection? Does opensuse has such a program somewhere? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.1.0-rc9-4-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.2 (4.7.2) 13:24pm up 3:19, 3 users, load average: 0.83, 0.61, 1.03 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] data file transfer ext4 to ntfs
by George Olson 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

I have a series of data directories that I need to regularly transfer back and forth between 2 computers. On computer 1, all the files are in an ext4 partition. I have formatted a memory stick with ext4 format as the means of transfer. I use rsync to copy the files and directories from computer 1 to the stick. On computer 2 I have half the files in an ext4 partition, and the other half of the files are in an NTFS partition (by necessity). These files have to remain in the NTFS partition on computer 2. When I try and use rsync to copy the files from the stick to computer 2, the files that are supposed to be copied to the NTFS partition fail with the following error: rsync: mkstemp "/windows/D/CLAware Inbox/Tagalog/ThruTheBible/..directory.zabln8" failed: Operation not permitted (1) rsync: mkstemp "/windows/D/CLAware Inbox/Tagalog/ThruTheBible/.TTBR2010708.mp3.VUNaHR" failed: Operation not permitted (1) I know that this probably has to do with the fact that NTFS doesn't recognize owners and permissions, but I still need to be able to copy these files along with all the others. Anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish the same rsync type functionality in this situation without having to login as root? When i run the script as root it copies the files without a problem. Thanks to anyone that has any suggestions!

[opensuse] inkscape
by jdd 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Hello, I have to manage an "eps" file and my present goal is to extract any element to have it at hand separately (to build a new svg). I do this in inkscape (only application that opens the eps correctly). I can select the object I want, but to make it alone, I have to paste it in a new drawing. Many objects are small. Is it possible and how, to reduce the drawing size to the object size? now the object may be difficult to find on a large blank page :-) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Speed up kmail?
by Stefan Gofferje 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Hi all, when I change the IMAP mail folder in kmail, I get this nice green SuSE Screen which says "retrieving folder contens" and kmail starts downloading headers. If there a way to tell kmail a) NOT to show this screen but jut go to the folder view? b) To download headers already when/if the IMAP server reports that there has been some change going on in the folder?

[opensuse] Firefox 7.0 on 11.4 - how to get mouseover URL back in status bar??
by David C. Rankin 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Guys, Wolfgang In FF 7.0 on 11.4, when I hover over a link, the URL displays in the bottom of the browser window instead of in the normal bottom status bar. This is horrible. The contrast of the URL in the bottom left corner of the active window is barely noticeable. I need to figure out how to get this to display back in the bottom status bar where I can see it. Here is a screenshot of the 7.0 display in the bottom of the window [10k]: http://nirvana/dl/suse/bugs/114/firefox/address-not-in-status-bar.jpg It used to display where the 'X' in the status bar is now. How do I fix this? What's the trick? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] (Strange) Apache Virtual Host Behaviour
by CHONG Yu Meng 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

Hi all, So, I setup Apache on my OpenSUSE 11.4 server at home, wanting to experiment with several php and perl apps (hence the Virtual Hosting config), when I found some strange behaviour with Virtual Hosting. I have a default configuration in Apache which I can access using hostorig.domain.tld (not the real name of course). I create a Virtual Host, host1.domain.tld and put an index.html inside. It works, so far so good. Ok, now, I add another Virtual Host, host2.domain.tld, and things start to get strange. When I open a browser and go to "http://hostorig", I get "http://host1" instead. "http://host1" still points to the right place, and "http://host2" point to the right place too. A bit of Googling around leads me to a site that says that the order of the <VirtualHost> stanzas is significant. If Apache does not understand which Virtual Host the user is requesting, it will default to the first <VirtualHost> declaration. Now, in OpenSUSE, the order of the Virtual Hosts is not so clear because they are all contained in separate .conf files inside /etc/apache2/vhost.d. If I wanted one of the Virtual Hosts here to be the "first" Virtual Host declared, what do I do? Since this is a home setup, it's not really that important, but it is annoying me like crazy. If anyone here can give me any information on why all this is happening and how I can setup a Virtual Host that Apache will "default" to when it doesn't understand the destination (or just setup Virtual Hosts better), please help! Thanks in Advance, pascal chong -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Confused by K-9 on android
by Greg Freemyer 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

All, Very intentional top-post. In K-9 I created the below email as a response to a question on the factory list. (I only use K-9 for posting to mailing lists, so not that often.) In K-9's email listing, the below appears as one e-mail and all is good. But when I change to the google provided gmail app, the below shows up as 3 different emails. The first has about a third of the below edited in. Then the second has that third, plus a third more. And the third one is the below final email. I only hit send once and again, K-9 shows it as only one email. What is going on?
