[opensuse] Thunderbird calendar ("Lightening" v1,0b4)
by Stan Goodman 03 Jul '11

This, although a beta, is the current release of "Lightening", and is described by Mozilla as "stable". In the Preferences screen, I have succeeded in defining which days are workdays, and also set a new category of Task. I've defined the details of a new task, and clicked on the button "Save and Close". The window does close, but the new task does not appear anywhere, so it isn't saved. The Preferences offer the choice of long or short date format; I chose the long, but today is 7/3/2011. For everything else on the system, it is 3/7/2011, so this is confusing. Everything else on the system also knows about 24-hour time formats; Lightening knows about them only when it comes to choosing times, but the result of choosing 1640 becomes 4:40pm. The Preferences window does know <dd mm yyyy>, and never mentions time formats, implying that Lightening will use the system default, which it doesn't. I don't think it is surprising for a beta to be in this condition. The surprise is the hubris of grownups to argue that it is stable. In the meantime, I continue to use korganizer. -- 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

When someone earlier suggested I build a product using osc, that wouldn't work either. I've tried: build (not some sort of pipe connect error at the time -- that was a while back) checkout dists examples: Ishtar:packages/OSbuild/proj> osc list ls Server returned an error: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Ishtar:packages/OSbuild/proj> osc dists Server returned an error: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Ishtar:packages/OSbuild/proj> osc checkout findutils-locate Server returned an error: HTTP Error 404: Not Found ... I have no idea how to start with errors like these... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Thunderbird and HTML
by Stan Goodman 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

There is a class of HTML-containing incoming messages that I need to save as HTML. I access these later with Firefox. Now I am using the Thunderbird mail client. In Kmail, I could use the message-structure feature to save the HTML version of such messages. Thunderbird seems to lack the ability to display in a format called EML. I do not see a way to get the mailer to display or save the HTML part of a message, and hope that I am overlooking something. How is this done? -- 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] Two versions of openSUSE, but the second won't boot up...
by Insomniac 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Hi all, I got a new 40 GB hdd the other day so that I could install openSUSE 10.3 on it to use as my 'game' drive (I have a Crossover thing that just doesn't work well with 11.3, unfortunately) What I did, was I unplugged the 11.3 hdd from the MOBO, installed the new hdd, plugged it in *on the SATA 3 plug (there's 4, 11.3 is on 1, the CD/DVD writer is on 2 and now 10.3 on 3) and turned the system on and installed 10.3 on it. Then, I plugged my 11.3 back in and started up the system and got into 11.3 to put the new hdd in my GRUB. I've chosen almost all the choices that GRUB had (using YaST) to put the new hdd/10.3 in the bootup selection menu (where I now have the penguins permanently walking back and forth, on purpose btw). Nothing I've chosen works. When I get to the menu where I can select what to do (11.3, 10.3, 11.3 failsafe, floppy), if I choose 10.3 it starts the GRUB for it and then brings me right back to the choice menu again. Is there something I'm missing? Should I install 10.3 again but leave my 11.3 plugged in and start up with the 10.3 in the cd/dvd writer and try it that way and hope that install doesn't screw up enough that I can no longer get in 11.3?
