[opensuse] Updating DVB-T configuration file for Paris area
by Bogdan Cristea 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

I have noticed that the configuration file for DVB tunner for Paris area, found in this location: /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/fr-Paris is too old and needs to be updated. I have been able to do so and I would like to propose to change the old settings file. Could someone tell me which person should I contact for this ? thanks Bogdan Cristea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Just wanted to know.....
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 27 Jun '11

On my computer I just like to update my 11.4 with the latest so I do a regular zypper dup. No big problems up to now but as I see the daily harvest of changes I just wonder if somebody could give me the story behind such changes. Today e.g. there was a change for libfm 0.1.14_rc2-82.1 -> 0.1.14_rc2-83.1 No idea what is using this lib but I just wonder who thinks and decides to start changing e.g this lib and looking at the numbering it must have been a small change. sometimes the change is also to an earlier version. Has somebody put more changes into such a work and than found out that it was more than it should be? Is there place where I could look into the kitchen? Do not want to cook myself ;) but just would like to see the cook at work. -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.0.0-rc3-3-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.6.4 (4.6.4) 18:58pm up 1 day 2:14, 3 users, load average: 4.02, 2.98, 2.51 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi List mates, The repo is: $ zypper lr -d | grep mozilla:beta 9 | mozilla:beta| mozilla:beta | Yes | Yes|98| rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla:/beta/openSUSE_11.4 | and, this is when I try to install it: # zypper install MozillaFirefox-4.99-7.1.x86_64 Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... Problem: nothing provides mozilla-nss >= 3.12.10 needed by MozillaFirefox-4.99-7.1.x86_64 Solution 1: do not install MozillaFirefox-4.99-7.1.x86_64 Solution 2: break MozillaFirefox by ignoring some of its dependencies Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c): c I can see that Firefox 5 (Beta) can be installed on openSUSE Factory[0], so there should be no problem if we do it on 11.4.

[opensuse] vmtools problem...

Has anybody else seen this when trying to run vmtoolsd in a VMware Server or ESXi virtual machine? Guest is 11.4.. [ warning] [vmtoolsd] The vmsvc service needs to run inside a virtual machine. Seems a bit odd. Anders. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi all! Is there a way to tell Kmail's filter if there are over X-number of "To " addresses to put it in spam?

[opensuse] Re: LibreOffice does not run
by Chuck Davis 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

Anyone else having a problem getting LO to run? I have all updates applied to 11.4 (including KDE4.6.4). The splash screen shows when I try to start office (wrapper), calc or writer and then disappears into oblivion with nothing running. This happened after a recent update -- it used to run fine. I've uninstalled and reinstalled as well. What am I missing?

[opensuse] Router? Splitter?...
by Insomniac 26 Jun '11

Hi all, I'm looking into getting satellite internet, since all the dial-up ISP's are making it harder and harder for me to stay online the amount of time that I do (I'm disabled and being on the computer is all I have to keep myself occupied and from going insane with nothing to do). My mom will also be sharing the satellite hookup too, so we only have to pay for one modem etc. My question is: What would be best to use so that all I have to do is run a cable from her computer and one from my computer to the modem. I mean, how should I set it up so that both of us can use the same, single satellite modem? What would be best, and most importantly, easiest? Also, will our opensuse 11.3 pick up this new connection readily? Or will I have to do a bunch of cli stuff and wondering what and how to get connected? Any advice and help with this is greatly appreciated.
