[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

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.
