[opensuse] DVD Input/output Error - Cannot read DVD disks
by Aaron 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Hello I recently purchased two new DVD burners. Neither of this DVD drive were able to read some DVD R that I burned with my older DVD burner. I am able to read the disk with a windows computer so I do not think there is a problem with the DVD media. I experienced the same problem with both of the DVD burners. I cannot read the first 271 MB of a disk and then will report an Input/output error for the remaining data. Have manufactures moved the error handling from the DVD burner to the Windows driver? Did I purchash two bad DVD burners? The first of DVD burner was a Memorex and my current burner is a Plextor PX-L890SA.

Hi all, I'm going to test newest perl-SMS-Send package from devel:languages:perl repository so the solved issue of BNC#712352 will work for me too, but I already have this module installed* by CPAN beforehand.

I tried installing TB#6 from Factory, but as it seemed to have few missing deps, I got the tar file from mozilla directly instead, and installed that. Basil, when I choose "Import"->"Mail", I still don't see any optino to enter an application - I have an empty window which suggests I pick a file type (none listed) to import from. Would you know if I need some third party libraries or some such? thanks Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (27.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] firefox keeps timing out
by George OLson 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

Hey, I am posting this here as I learn the whole suse linux system and try to complete my migration from windows. I have had some issues with the internet, in particular with firefox not loading web pages. I frequently get the error "Firefox can't find the server at ..." when I try to load a web page, and so I hit "try again". I decided to do a comparison and I opened chrome and firefox at the same time, went to cnn.com at the same time, and clicked to open 6 new tabs (using right-click, open in new tab) on the same first 6 story links at the same time. Chrome opened all 6 tabs without having to try and refresh any a 2nd time, taking less than 3 minutes for all 6 tabbed pages to open. Firefox opened 1 of the tabs, gave me the could not find the server error on 2 of them, and on the other 3 just kept going and going and going, but no page ever came up. I do not have a proxy server set up (I don't really even know how to do that). I am using oS 11.4, KDE 4.6, and firefox 6.0. I would not know what other information to post to assist in troubleshooting. In any case, it seems that this is a firefox configuration problem, and I would like to know where to start, because firefox offers so much more than chrome AFAIK.

[opensuse] how to read a directory after adding it in konsole
by George OLson 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

I expect there is a pretty simple solution to this one. I went to konsole and using the command line I added a directory (mkdir) and copied some files into it. However, then in dolphin, I could not read the new directory. It would not show up. So I did what every other newb like me would do and logged out of kde and then logged back in, and there then it showed up in the file manager dolphin. I know I should not have to log out and log back in, but I don't know how to get it get dolphin to pick up the new directory. Can someone tell me what the right procedure is, if it is in a konsole or in some other way, to have dolphin recognize the new directory?
