[opensuse] www.open-six.com is dead
by Wolfgang Mueller 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

For getting support for 11.4, I found this text on the DVD box: | Please visit www.open-six.com/register and enter your 14-digit | activation code (see sticker below on this box) to register | your product. This will qualify you for installation support. Trying to open www.open-six.com, I got this answer from the so-called Navigationshilfe of Deutsche Telekom: | open-six.com | This domain is parked, pending renewal, or has expired. ... Since this mailing list is available, the installation support is no more necessary. So it is comprehensible that they closed their support site. But I wonder why they still print the text cited above on the DVD box and stick an activation code there.

[opensuse] Google body browser
by Roger Oberholtzer 18 Apr '11

Anyone able to use this site on openSUSE 11.4 with firefox 4.0 (from OBS)? http://bodybrowser.googlelabs.com/ I tried the suggestion about nvidia drivers (MOZ_GLX_IGNORE_BLACKLIST=1 firefox), but it made no difference. The site tells me: "Google Body uses WebGL, a new standard for 3D on the Web. Your browser supports WebGL, but WebGL is not initializing properly." -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] [Bug Squad] Gwibber crashes when adding twitter account
by Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

Good morning everybody, A while back I received a bug regarding gwibber crashing when one adds/enables a twitter account (on openSUSE 11.4). I tried to locate and isolate it and have since created a test package of what I believe is causing the issue. Unfortunately, it seems the original bug reporter is now on holiday or otherwise busy, and thus seems not to have time to test this patched package. As such I would like to ask you all, if you experience the same problem as described in bnc#681705 [1]. If you do, it could be of great help to test the packages I provide in the patch (an additional repository.. info in the bug report). This of course just if you actually see the issue. If you don't there is no reason to do any tests. Thank you all for your help, Dominique [1] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681705 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] FireFox 4 - Status Bar? which one is the normal good old standard status bar?
by David C. Rankin 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Guys, Firefox 4 is driving me nuts. What do you mean "there is no status bar?" Can't we just have a browser that comes complete anymore? Why do I have to go hunting and pecking through some list of available (and of dubious origin) add-ons just to get what has already been there back? </rant off> Which brings me to the point of this frustrating process. What, out of the miriad of add-ons, will give me the normal firefox status bar back? Thanks. Note: progress does not equate to removing things that work and are not broken. -- David C.

[opensuse] Screen Resolution
by Wolfgang Mueller 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

I have installed Suse 11.4 on my new laptop, an Acer Aspire 7551G. According to Acer's product description the computer has a WSXGA Display with 1600x900 pixels. My X runs well, but I have the impression that it uses a smaller resolution than 1600x900. So I have two questions: 1. How can I determine the resolution used by my X? 2. In case it is lower, how can I force X to use 1600x900 px? Thanks advance for you help and best regards, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] PPD guru needed - Sharp Copier - need to find a suitable PPD
by David C. Rankin 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Guys, This one will stretch your mind a bit, but I need to find the best PPD for a Sharp AR-505 copier. I have 2 sharp copiers, an AR-M355N (which already has a Linux PPD that works great), and an AR-505 that I can't find a Linux PPD for. I got the AR-505 configured in CUPS on my server as ipp://ip.to.the.copier/lp and I am able to use the laserjet 4 PPD to get it to print, but the margins are a bit different. I found an old IBM document that showed the AR-505 talked PCL5e and LPR: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas154255e0ec5a3c13f862569c10… There are a number of windows XP and Mac drivers (not OS X) available for this copier, but no linux PPD. So what I want to do is see if there is a PPD that would work with this machine better than the foomatic/ljet4 I currently have. Has anyone ever done this kind of creative mix and match of PPDs with a copier before? If so, any tricks, or is it just trial and error? -- David C.

[opensuse] LibreOffice - have to hit print "TWICE" before a document will print -- anybody else?
by David C. Rankin 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

Guys, Aside from the document spacing issue with Libre, I am experiencing a bizarre printing issue with Libre as well. For some strange reason, I have to hit the print button TWICE before a document will print. First time the print button is pressed - nothing -- the hp laserjet 4100n just sits there idle. Hit print for the second time and -- presto, the printer springs to life just like it should. I have tried printing from other apps in kde kate/kwrite/kpdf, etc.. and everything prints on the first click of the print button. But... not with Libre. Any ideas about what could be causing this? The printer itself is a 4100n attached to the network via the HPDirect network controller that is built into the printer. It is configured via cups on the network server at work and prints fine for everything except libre. The printer has a fixed IP of 192.168.7.21 and the /etc/cups/printers.conf on the server 'phoenix' is: # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.4.6 # Written by cupsd on 2011-04-15 12:42 # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE WHEN CUPSD IS RUNNING <Printer dcr4100n> AuthInfoRequired none Info HP Laserjet 4100n Location David Office MakeModel HP LaserJet 4100 Foomatic/Postscript DeviceURI socket://192.168.7.21 State Idle StateTime 1302889341 Reason toner-low-report Type 8400916 Filter application/vnd.cups-raw 0 - Filter application/vnd.cups-postscript 100 foomatic-rip Filter application/vnd.cups-pdf 0 foomatic-rip Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer Attribute marker-colors none Attribute marker-levels 7 Attribute marker-names Toner Cartridge HP C8061X Attribute marker-types toner Attribute marker-change-time 1302889340 </Printer> <snip> I doubt the printer config has anything to do with it since I can print fine with all other apps. Has anybody seen or heard of this type of problem before? I would like to collect as much info as I can to help the guys as the document foundation find out what is going on. So what say the printing gurus? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
