[opensuse] Xdmcp woes
by Anton Aylward 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

I have a new -64 box and its running Fedor-15 very nicely thank you ;-) The bummer is that - well apart from fighting with systemd - it has a grotty old conventional CRT monitor. BLEH! So I've tied enabling Xdmcp on my widescreen laptop which is running openSuSe and on the Fedora box. Both are on the same LAN segment. The login screen on the CRT can see - Ctrl-R to display list of remotes - the laptop but when I try logging in from the CRT to the laptop I just get a black screen. The login screen on the doens't behave the same of the openSuSe laptop. The Ctrl-R bring up the list but a mouseover onto it shut it down. The list only has the laptop. Not the Fedora box. This has let me a bit perplexed. Anyone there with cross-system Xdmcp experience? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KMail Folders in kmail2, strange situation
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 02 Aug '11

I have a working kmail2 with still some snags. One is that in the header of the folder list, KMail Folders I found three copies of a message from yesterday. Those messages cannot be deleted and or removed with e.g. Update folders. They do not interrupt the use of kmail but I would like to clean them out of the main-folder.

[opensuse] video not working shader model 3.0 directx 9
by george olson 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

Hi all, Ok next problem. I have a new motherboard that the manual says it uses "Integrated programmable Shader model 3.0 DirectX 9 graphics processor" My screen looks just like a series of green, black, and white horizontal lines. There is nothing remotely decipherable about it. I verified the problem is not the monitor itself by plugging in a different monitor which I am using on another system and I got the same screen - lots of horizontal lines. I ran the lspci command and here are the results: 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 7025/nForce 630n] (rev a2) I used midnight commander to view the /var/log/xorg.0.log file. It is a really long file. Many lines begin with GEForce, and many other lines begin with NOUVEAU. The NOUVEAU lines have resolution and frequency numbers on them. I don't know if that is useful information. If there is a particular line I need to look for let me know. I don't know how to copy anything from that computer over here to my laptop to send it by email, so I have to type everything out. So, where do I go from here? If I can get the video card working, then I can set up thunderbird and email from that computer, instead of hand copying everything here on my laptop, and then troubleshooting will be easier. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] RaLink RT2860sta only 54 MB/s
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

Hi all, I have bought a Asus PCE-N13 802.11b/g/n Wifi PCI-Express Adapter, with "Linux Support" printed on the package, and info in the internet that it works for Linux. It does work, but I can only get 54 MB/s out of it. System: openSUSE 11.4, Kernel Driver: rt2860sta, Model: RaLink RT2860 I had aHP Compaq Presario CQ56-103SGtoday, with a 802.11b/g/n WLan. It operated with openSUSE 11.4 according to NetworkManager with 150 MB/s on the very same RT-Link Model No. TL-WR941N WLan. How can the RaLink RT2860 be configured to get 300 MB/s? I see in the HWCL that it was tested as only using /b/g. :-( (http://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Network_%28Wireless%29#With_known_chipsets - "Tested with 64 bits. Only B/G works, See internet for details on getting N to work with Linksys WMP600N " - I found nothing) Can someone suggest a good Card for use with openSUSE and Linux in general? I see that Realtek (eg. rtl8192ce, 8192se, 8188ce, 8191se) is well supported, but which cards use these chipsets? :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I have a Java applications which I use frequently, and for which I have placed hard links on the Desktop, to make them easier to start. The icons are generic, and therefore confusin, and I would like to replace them a recognizable images. I have such images in png and other formats, but it is not clear to me how to assign them to the applications.

You use a mask on the mount options to specify what permissions to fake. Ah, best explanation I have read :-) . Thanks for this. Now I am more enlightened than I ever was over the past 10 years :-) .
