Perhaps, but openSUSE 12.1 is not a major release. We don't have any such major/minor planning, 12.1 is a largely arbitrary number. > My frame of reference is having worked in both the lab and as a field > engineer at one of the largest hardware manufacturers (who btw write > much more sw than MS).

I completely understand your frame of reference, but it simply does not apply here. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 12.1 Yast CA Management broken
by lynn 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Hi Yast CA management module is broken in both 32 and 64 bit versions of 12.1 I've filed a buzilla under 'other' as there is no section for 12.1 bugs as of an hour or so ago. The error is: Error while creating client module ca_mgm Meanwhile, can anyone recommend a tool where I can create a CA certificate to sign a servercert and key to use with the ldap module? I need to be able to specify the CN of the cert. Thanks L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] opensuse 12.1 - problems with segfault X (on opensuse 11.4 di it too)
by Karliak Josef 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Hi, I tried opensuse 12.1 on HP 8200elite (i5 CPU, 4GB ram), I had problem with crashing X'es or freezing computer on opensuse 11.4. The problem persist on opensuse 12.1. There are 3 coputers, the same configuration except i3 CPU on one of them. Firmware didn't solved problem, memtest is OK. We tried integrated graphic card and add-on Nvidia in PCIexpress. Installation of opensuse 12.1 is fresh, one day old, system is fully actualized. I'm out of an ideas. Any tips ? X logs are attached... Thanks and best regards -- Bc.

[opensuse] java appletviewer 12.1
by lynn 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Hi The appletviewer works fine first time I use it. After that, it just sits there at the command line and displays nothing. I can see the applet OK in Chromium but that's a pain when you recompile and refresh, probably because of the cache. This is a new install of 12.1 with the default openjdk as installed by default. I have added openjdk-devel. Using appletviewer from the same (I think) openjdk on an Ubuntu client works every time. Anyone else?

Re: [opensuse] How to set UID for the user when installing oS 11.x or 12.1? SOLVED

Hello: Thank your all who helped with this. I followed Lars' advice I did not create a user when the installer asked for it at the first time. (User and group administration -> User Management in the installer). I just left the boxes empty, and gave only the root password. After the installer installed the system, the installer returned to the user administration, and this time it offered the user settings again, this time with all the options (UID, group setting, password setting).

[opensuse] Networked printer - can accept jobs from Linux laptop but not a Windows 7 laptop
by David Hughes 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

Hi everyone, I'm having a slightly odd problem; it concerns a networked printer. My desktop computer, running OpenSUSE 12.1 is acting as a print server to a HP Laserjet 1010; I can print to it from my laptop (running Arch Linux) over wireless without any problems, yet my mum, who is running Windows 7) on her laptop can't send print jobs to it at all. It worked with no problems when I first installed OpenSUSE 12.1 about a week ago - prior to that, I've had many different flavours of Linux (and FreeBSD) installed on the desktop PC, and I've never had any problems with printing. I just tried starting the desktop PC up with an old Ubuntu live CD in the drive and it accepted and printed a document over the network from the Windows laptop, which means that it must be a problem with my OpenSUSE configuration. I've checked the printer settings in YAST and had a look at the CUPS web front end and everything appears to be in order. Is there something blindingly obvious that I'm missing? Thanks, best regards, David -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

hi, I have installed openSUSE 12.1 and looks better than Windows. Should I use Kmail or Thunderbird as the mail client in openSUSE 12.1 so that once I am confirmed, I go to the docs of that one only.
