[opensuse] bookmark toolbar in konqueror
by eddie 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hi All I'm not sure what happened but konqueror seems not to be able to display the bookmark toolbar anymore. I was running kde 4.5 but upgraded to 4.6 to see if it would solve the konqueror problem. I have tried deleting the konquerorrc file in ./kde4/share/config to no avail. Would be grateful if anyone has a solution as the bookmark toolbar is one of the reasons that I prefer using konqueror above the rest.

[opensuse] Inconxixtency in HOSTNAME
by Stan Goodman 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

In the years that I have been using this laptop machine (or its predecessor), its hostname has been "chipotle", and the root prompt in terminals has been "chipotle". Recently the prompt has been "localhost" instead; I do not know what brought this about. I opened /etc/HOSTNAME, and found that what is written there is still "chipotle.hashkedim.com". Why is this being ignored? How can I change the prompt to what it should be? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] amarok plays no more streams
by Daniel Bauer 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

Hi everybody because of a bug in dolphin I upgraded to KDE 4.6, the bug is gone, but now I cannot listen to radio streams in amarok anymore... Amarok Version 2.4.0, KDE 4.6.00 (4.6.0) "release 381", OpenSuse 11.3 it plays locally saved music files, but the radio stations I saved earlier do not connect. If I double-click the radio-station in the play list, a small message appears below saying "too many errors in the playlist"... No idea what it wants to tell me: at present there is only one radio stram in te playlist (and nothing else), which I entered with copy/paste from the browser where I tested the URL using mplayer. Any idea how I can get amaraok back to play radio streams? thanks for hints!

[opensuse] OpenSUSE 11.3 YaST scanimage -L not responding
by Bruce Samhaber 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

Hi I am trying to install a scanner with YaST and keep getting the message: Error Failed to determine the active scanners. When the net metadriver is activated and something is wrong in the network, it can happen that there is no response from the 'Scanimage -L' command. For example when the communication with a server whcih should be used by the net metadriver gets distorted because a firewall drops some network traffic in this case it should help to disable the net metadriver as a work around until the issue in the network is fixed. I do not have any known networking problems at the moment. I am trying to install the scanner on the machine that the scanner is connected to. Does anyone understand this? This worked well in SUSE 10.2, why is this broken now? Thank you, Bruce. -- Bruce Samhaber Tel/Fax: 613-724-5987 112 Kenora St. Cell: 613-297-6961 Ottawa, Ontario K1Y 3L1 mailto: bruce.samhaber(a)samhaber.ca http://www.samhaber.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is there an 11.0 download source anywhere.
by Bob Rea 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

I got 11.0 from a DVD in a magazine, but I have no DVD burner now, all my old boxes died on me including the one with the DVD burner. I will eventually get one but I am unemployed now. I particularly need whatever would stop the java-script errors and play you-tubes and the like. but the last upgrade before it went out of support would be very nice. -- "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." - Sinclair Lewis Bob Rea Norcross GA www.petard.us gapetard(a)stsams.org petard(a)petard.us -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I have no idea why its doing that, Im sorry it usually works for me, maybe its something in the connection or the driver? What make / model is your scanner and how is it connected via Ethernet or USB?

[opensuse] strange dolphin behaviour: kio-thumbmail
by Daniel Bauer 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

Hello, since a few days dolphin is driving me crazy when ever I want to show a folder containing html-files. It opens a bunch of "open with..." windows, which reappear as soon as I close them. Sometimes they even reappear after closing dolphin and I have to kill the dolphin process. As I should work on web pages I need a usable file manager, but dolphin is unusable for these folders. Even rebooting doesn't change anything... Anybody knows how I can make dolphin stop this annoying behaviour? thanks Daniel Kernel: Linux 2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop x86_64 Distribution: openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) KDE: 4.5.5 (KDE 4.5.5) "release 1" -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com erotic nudes: http://www.guapamania.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
