[opensuse] Kmail preview pane
by Stan Goodman 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

I am using this laptop for mail for the first time since installing 11.4. In Configure Kmail > Appearance, I have checked "Show message preview pane beneath message, but it doesn't show anywhere. Checking "Show message preview pane at the side" causes the Message listpane to expand and replace the Message pane completely, and a new pane to open at the right, in which the MESSAGE is displayed. The preview information still appears nowhere. In other words, there is no way that I can see a preview, and no way that I can view any HTML attachment, which I sometimes need to do. How to make a more rational layout? -- 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] Unexpected graphic issue on openSUSE 11.4
by Marco Calistri 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

Hello all, I'm noticing an unexpected and ugly behaviour with 11.4 Celadon which I installed on my HP AMD Turion 64 (64bit - Nvidia GeForce Go 6150 video card): The text somewhere in some applications appears as it was cutted on top of the characters of the words. This issue is present from the very begin but I was not keeping to much attention on it until today. I switched on some other Gnome Themes (right now I'm using Clearlook) to see if it could be the cause, but it is not, the problem continues. Here a screen-shot with the issue highlighted in yellow to better understand: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amdturion/5581977981/sizes/l/in/photostream/ I don't know if it is a Nvidia or Xorg issue or even a local issue on my system, however I'd post this problem since under 11.2 never happens something similar. Cheers! -- Marco Calistri (amdturion) opensuse 11.4 Celadon - Linux 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology MK-36 - GeForce Go 6150 Gnome 2.32.1

[opensuse] 11.4 nouveau driver problem?
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

On a spare partition I am running 11.4 just in order to polish it for the future change from my 11.3. After the today update the 11.4 stops during the first moments of booting with the striped Suse screen becoming half sized. I found that after following text all activities came to a halt. No idea what to do to get a normal boot running. Failsafe got the program up and running. The complete boot text: ------------------ doing fast boot Create device nodes with udev udev[75}: can not read '/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules! ^[[ 3.107559] fb: conflicting fb hw usage nouveau.fb vs VESA VGA - removing generic driver -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.3 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.38-30-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.6.1 (4.6.1) 15:59pm up 3:07, 3 users, load average: 1.80, 1.36, 1.66 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Good News! - The Canterbury Distribution
by Larry Stotler 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Saw this on all of the distro home pages except for Gentoo. A very intriguing idea "The Canterbury Distribution We are pleased to announce the birth of the Canterbury distribution. Canterbury is a merge of the efforts of the community distributions formerly known as Debian, Gentoo, Grml, openSUSE and Arch Linux. The target is to produce a really unified effort and be able to stand up in a combined effort against proprietary operating systems, to show off that the Free Software community is actually able to work together for a common goal instead of creating more diversity." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] [SOLVED] Howto Get Thunderbird to Open Links in Firefox 4
by David C. Rankin 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Guys, Hopefully this will save others the grief it caused me. After upgrade to Firefox 4, clicking links in an email to http:// https:// etc... did nothing. It was a complete PITA copying links from email and pasting them into the browser (middle-click paste anywhere in the page) After looking, I found an answer on the Arch Linux bbs. Basically, in tbird, you must: (1) Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Config Editor: search: "network.protocol", locate: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https ** set each to "true" AND restart Thunderbird (2) send yourself an email with a good link for each eg.: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=115524&p=1 ftp://mirror.services.wisc.edu/mirrors/mysql/Downloads/ (3) click on the link in your email, the navigate to /usr/bin/firefox and choose "[x] remember my selection" or whatever it says; and then links in Thunderbird emails will once again open in firefox as they should. It looks like some links or something were forgotten as part of the FF4 update. Wolfgang - can FF4 be fixed to do this automatically on update? -- David C.

[opensuse] networkmanager and knetworkmanager
by lynn 01 Apr '11

What is the difference between the two? When I install knetworkmanager it appears in the system tray in kde4. And it just works. But everyone else on the list refers to networkmanager, not knetworkmanager. Thanks.

[opensuse] Re: [users] Open Office "save as"
by James Knott 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

That's why I said "export". There are three ways of doing this. The quick & easy way is to click on the "Export Directly as PDF" icon on the tool bar. The other way, which gives you more control over the output, is to click on File > Export as PDF. There's also the option of File > Send > Email as PDF.
