This will make it easy for my wife who has a bit of difficulty adjusting to changes especially as she has been using Kmail since we moved over to suse from about v.8 or 9.

[opensuse] 12.1 community repos
by Ken Schneider - openSUSE 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

I have 12.1 installed on my laptop. When I try to add the community repo for nVidia the selection is there but when I try to add it I get an error that it doesn't exist. Can we expect it to be created in the near future so the drivers can be downloaded and installed? -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] thunderbird news and crossposting
by jdd 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hello :-) I use thunderbird for mails and news. I don't want to change it, specially I don't want to have two applications for mail and news. However I used for a time knode and specially appreciate the option of marking read all the post when one is crossposted between several forums. I read some hobby forums where many people cross post a lot and it's annoying to read twice a post. Do you know a way of dealing with cross posts with thunderbird? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
