[opensuse] firefox 7 preferences -> Startup -> "Show my app tabs"
by David C. Rankin 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

All, Wolfgang R., A recent FF 7.0.1 crash forced my back through my preferences to set up my home pages again. For some reason when it crashed, it lost the preference?? Looking at the Preferences -> Startup -> Show my XYZ setting, there needs to be an option to: "Show my app tabs" which would allow FF to start with your pinned tabs as your home pages shown on startup. I do like the "use current pages" option that allows multiple pages to be specified separated by a pipe, but if you pin the pages you want to open and then select "use current pages" FF reopens your pinned apps AND also opens a second copy of your pinned apps 'unpinned' as well. There is no need to open 2 sets of the same pages (pinned and unpinned). Wolfgang, you hear of anything in the work that would fix that? -- David C.

I'm using 11.4 and had goog wifi connection to Internet. In an unhappy manoeuvre I lost Networkmanager, so I can't install a Wifi connection anymore. How can I get back a working Networkmanager?

[opensuse] greeter text
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 10 Oct '11

Updating with a new kernel always shows the text that it looking for the old greeter text and decides, it is not there. How and where can edit a greeter text. Looked through Yast as the most probable source but did not find any hint for a greeter edit. -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.1.0-rc9-2-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.2 (4.7.2) 19:34pm up 1:39, 3 users, load average: 2.32, 1.53, 1.05 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kmail and dovecot
by eddie 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Hi All I am using dovecot 2.0.13 and kmail 1.13.6. I'm having difficult accessing the inbox on the email server. If I log out of my account and then back in again, I can start kmail and access my inbox. A few minutes later there is a message that kmail has lost connection with the server and the only way back in to the inbox is to log out and in again. I have my mobile phone connected to the server and it seems to have no problem accessing the inbox. So I believe that it is something to do with kmail. I am using tls. When I telnet to port 143, it connects and says that the server is ready. However, in kmail (which is set to port 143) it just hangs with the message "Retrieving Folder Contents Please wait . . ." Oh and one other thing, the server and my desktop account are running on the same machine. Has anyone got any ideas what is wrong? I'd be grateful for any assistance. Many thanks Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Tearing my hear out - mail server malfunction
by Rodney Baker 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Hi all. I run a local mail server with a fairly standard setup: Fetchmail -> sendmail ->procmail -> spamd -> Maildir -> dovecot IMAP. Everything worked fine until around 1345 local time Sunday. Ever since then, fetchmail has been dumping all mail into /var/spool/mail/<username> and there it stays. The rest of the chain isn't firing. procmail is configured to write to a log file in my home directory (pm.log) and that is not being written. Nothing has been written to /var/log/mail since August 28th (when I upgraded to oS 11.4) so that is no help. I have tried logging out of KDE and even restarting the machine (which I rarely do - uptimes of >180 days are not uncommon) but to no avail. I'm completely stumped as to why it was working fine and then suddenly stopped with no intervention. I haven't even installed any updates in the last week or so. I'd appreciate any pointers as to where to look next. Fetchmail is working fine, as I said, but nothing gets past /var/spool/mail/<username>. When it was working fine, nothing went into this directory, let alone stayed there. What has broken and why? (Yes, I know that is an almost impossible question but at least if I knew where to look it would help). ps -eaf | grep 'mail' says: root 4501 1 0 Oct09 ? 00:00:01 sendmail: accepting connections 110 5765 1 0 18:22 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/fetchmail -d 90 -a -f /etc/fetchmailrc -L /var/log/fetchmail user 6023 5805 0 18:33 pts/0 00:00:00 grep mail mail 8214 1 0 Oct09 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: Queue control mail 8215 8214 0 Oct09 ? 00:00:01 sendmail: running queue: /var/spool/clientmqueue use> 17700 17663 0 Oct09 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/akonadi_maildir_resource --identifier akonadi_maildir_resource_0 user 17701 17663 0 Oct09 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/akonadi_maildispatcher_agent --identifier akonadi_maildispatcher_agent user 21579 1 0 Oct09 ? 00:00:40 /usr/bin/kmail -caption KMail user 21580 17538 0 Oct09 ? 00:00:05 kdeinit4: kio_imap4 [kdeinit] imap local:/tmp/ksocket-user/klauncherT17539.slave-socket local:/tmp/ksocket- user/kmaile21579.slave-socket user 21581 17538 0 Oct09 ? 00:00:01 kdeinit4: kio_imap4 [kdeinit] imap local:/tmp/ksocket-user/klauncherT17539.slave-socket local:/tmp/ksocket- user/kmaily21579.slave-socket Thanks in advance, Rodney. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker(a)iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] k3b and CDDB lookup question
by Mark Hounschell 09 Oct '11

09 Oct '11

I'm recording all my albums into mp3s using audacity. To make a long story short, I am using k3b to convert the wavs to mp3s. I am able to retrieve some CDDB info with k3b but many come up empty. k3b is configured to use gnudb.gnudb.org for CDDB lookup. Every single time k3b comes up empty, if I then attempt to use kid3 and point it at gnudb.gnudb.org also, it finds them just fine. Why does k3b come up empty while kid3 doesn't. I'm running SuSE-11.4 and k3b is k3b-2.0.2-6.9.1.i586. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

[opensuse] KDE and emacs frame-title-format
by Josef Wolf 09 Oct '11

09 Oct '11

Hello, I have set frame-title-format for my emacs like this: (set 'frame-title-format '("%b -- " invocation-name "@" system-name)) This works so far, as it shows me the names of the emacs buffers in the KDE panel. But after a short time, the names in the KDE panel fall back to "emacs(a)my.host.name", omitting the "%b -- " component of the setting. Whenever an emacs frame is re-displayed (either by clicking on the window, or by clicking on the icon in KDE's panel, or by simply switching virtual desktops), the buffer name comes back again. But after a while, it disappears again. The end result is that the buffer name is not displayed most of the time. Any ideas what causes the buffer name to disappear? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
