hi,
though i have downloaded but before going to install have some doubts:
At the page:
http://en.opensuse.org/images/f/f4/11.4_LIVE_installer-partitioning1.png
(which is an intermediate step of installation), there is an option:
'Edit partition Setup...', so should I use it ? Because I already have
Ubuntu LTS and just to replace it (only Ubuntu LTS with openSUSE) but
want to make the Windows XP remain intact, so please let me know which
files to be deleted/changed/done....., whatsoever...
Further the option of LVM based, what does it do? I request if someone
could really explain / elaborate/ link me to this (for explanation).
Rgs.

After a total breakdown of kmail I want for the time being using
Thunderbird.
In KMail I was using a signature file which translated the information
from my system into something like this:
--
Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV ,
powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.1.0-3-desktop
LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.2 (4.7.2)
21:45pm up 6:41, 3 users, load average: 1.05, 1.03, 0.84
How could I get a similar signature in Thunderbird?
The signature file contains following info:
$ #!/bin/bash
powered="$(head -n 1 /etc/SuSE-release)"
echo " Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV ,"
kernel=`uname -r`
echo " powered by $powered Kernel: $kernel"
kde=`kde4-config -v | grep KDE`
echo " LXDE WM & " $kde
uptime
lxde=`lxde-config -v | grep LXDE`
echo $lxde

I have a ThinkPad E520, which has HDMI output, in addition to the
traditional VGA. When I connect a HDTV via HDMI, I cannot get the
monitor & TV to show the same thing, unless I set both to 1024 x 768. I
can have separate displays at full resolution. Is there anyway to get
both displays to show the same thing, without limiting resolution.
Another issue is when HDMI is plugged in, the audio does not switch to
the TV, leaving audio playing on the ThinkPad built in speakers. Both
of these items work well in Windows 7, where as soon as I plug in the
external HDTV, the video is duplicated and the audio switched, as it
should. Why doesn't openSUSE do this?
I'm running 12.1 RC1, but this likely occurs with earlier versions too.
The BIOS is configured so that the HDMI connection is active.

Anyone ever figured out how, or even tried, to fetch files this way? When I
try from https://sites.google.com/site/azboxtools/azbox-editor-tools-programs
I get cannot save errors because it tries to save using an insanely long and
illegal filename.

Dear Will,
I receive my mail via POP3 from a local ISP and two gmail
accounts. The email isreceived in 20 to 40 minute intervals.
Since my problems began I have stopped my kmail regular and
have looked at myemail accounts via webmail. This in order to
compare what comes
in as Iotherwise do not know what is lost ;).
This email and six others where nicely waiting at my ISP
account. And they werereceived without a hitch and transferred to
my suse folder.
In my filter for the suse folder I try to catch all suse
emails. Under the nameopensuse I have entered under General filter
criteria "match
any of thefollowing" To contains @opensuse.org and CC contains
@opensuse.org .Under filter action "Move Into Folder" KMail
Folders/inbox/suse
Under the advanced options I have ticked four choices: Apply
this filter toincoming messages, From all accounts, apply on
manual filtering
and if thisfilter matches stop processing here.
If you need more details or the complete filter or other parts
of my kmail2,just tell me.
PS. Did a normal reply and after finishing this mail did not
get out and I was surprised with the information:
There were problems trying to queue the message for sending:
Append failed.I just copied the contents of my reply from the
draft box where
I saved the mail and send this via webmail.
PS2
Just restarted kmail and have to wait wait and wait because
kmail is synchronizing the inbox folder ad infinitum.Went with midnight commander to the inbox file and under /new
are 7 messages which have been downloaded before, including a
mail from root. The inbox in kmail is empty, nothing shows.Have the feeling that kmail does not clean up filtered messages
from the inbox new and consequently synchronizes until I decide
to remove the contents and restart kmail.Reading and sending mail becomes problematic, reason why I use
webmail again.

Just separate root, home, and swap. Don't overcomplicate yourself.
Okay, I am just waiting for the dvd to get downloaded, however, I may
be out for too during this week.

The installer does not always generate the best proposal for your
needs. You have to use your judgement.

You need those three. Read the opensuse book for more info.
Oh I see, much technical..!
Root is where the system is installed. Home is needed for your data,
separate so that you can reinstall without touching your data.
Oh I see. It would be exciting when I would install.

This is the way I do it, assuming one disk:
/dev/sda1 100MB ext2 /boot
/dev/sda2 100MB ext2
/dev/sda3 xxxx swap /swap (make this as big as your RAM)
/dev/sda4 rest of disk extended-part
/dev/sda5 40GB xfs /
/dev/sda6 40GB xfs
/dev/sda7 rest of disk xfs /home
The small /boot partition formatted with ext2 guarantees that I
can boot. Some boot loaders didn't like xfs or Reiserfs in the past.
40-GB is big enough for all the OS stuff, along with /tmp.
The two unused partitions allow me to install the next release without
disturbing the current one. Grub will automatically set it up so you
can boot to the previous release if something goes wrong. You can
also manually mount the previous / if you need to copy configuration
files or other programs not a part of the OS release.
You can make installs in one pair of partitions one time, the other pair
for the next release, while /home stays the same, as long as you don't
accidentally format it!
There are lots of other ways to do it, your mileage may vary...
Regards,
Lew

How the @#$@#@ heck do you view hidden files in KDE4 on 12.1 RC1? In
earlier versions, it was a simple thing to enable viewing hidden files.

Perhaps you should ask the person who wrote the message you're replying
to. As I mentioned in another note, the installation program will
suggest a partition configuration. It's an excellent way to go, if
you're not sure what you're doing.
BTW, it's not polite to take list messages off list, unless off topic
for the list.
