[opensuse] xml to csv
by James Hatridge 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

Hi all, I have a xml file that I want to change to csv format. Can someone tell me an easy way to do this?

[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?

I have various mailboxes at remote locations that I connect to by either POP or or IMAP. Is there any way to tell the type of server I'm connected to ...

[opensuse] Any suse/linux as a mobile dev platform - why not?
by David C. Rankin 27 Aug '11

27 Aug '11

Guys, Just wanted to check if anyone knew of suse and/or linux based project related to the iPhone? In the past two weeks there have been a number of articles noting Mac OS passed linux as a development platform (still well behind m$). I have always been amazed who linux is generally in the forefront with any new hardware providing functionality and development tools, but they are virtually non-existent with the iPhone. Surely it isn't so much of a technical limitation given the headway others have made jailbreaking the iphone. Is it just the threat of apples' muscle that has development blocked or is there really something that Mac OS does that linux can't that makes is suited for mobile development? What say those in the know? I'm really curious what is suppressing IOS/mobile development using linux as the development platform? -- David C.

[opensuse] Thunderbird vs. Kontact vs. Evolution
by George OLson 27 Aug '11

27 Aug '11

Hey to all, I am just looking for opinions from people that have used these programs, and how you might compare them. I am using thunderbird right now, but I find it very difficult to configure the GUI fonts. At the same time, I really like the ability to keep messages from the same thread together in my inbox or other folders, and thunderbird is far superior to outlook's handling of this. I am migrating over from MS Outlook, and would like to import all my old email, besides my calendar, tasks, and address book. I started using thunderbird only because I am moderately familiar with it. Any advice, and info on common problems you may have encountered, would be most helpful.

[opensuse] cannot get kmail to download imap gmail or folder structure
by George OLson 27 Aug '11

27 Aug '11

I just started up kmail, and I was able to get my pop account working for another email that I have. This email account, at gmail, I have set up on imap. I set up the account using the account wizard, and it will not download the folder structure I have set up on gmail, nor will it download any email. It also does not give me any error message - at least I don't see any. The only indication that when I right-click on the googlemail folder in the left folder pain and hit "check mail", down at the bottom left it says "checking account Googlemail.com for new mail." It will continue to say this until indefinitely, and it never downloads new mail. I verified that my security settings, port settings, and everything are exactly as I have them on thunderbird, where I am also using this account, with IMAP settings, and everything works fine using thunderbird. Someone please help me to know how to troubleshoot! G -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KMail2, moving and copying broken
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 27 Aug '11

27 Aug '11

Since some time now I have problems with copying and moving of emails. In one case I wanted to return an email which slipped through the filter from a sub- folder into the inbox. It was moved but not into the inbox but under the "KMail Folder" which is the main header for the folders. Just now I wanted to copy an email from the sent-mail folder into the inbox with the same end-result. Emails which are landing int this "KMail Folder" can be read but not deleted moved or mishandled in any other form. This "KMail Folder" header is a non existent part of the kmail2 contents and a removal with force with midnight commander is not possible. The 15 emails do not pose a problem. It is the handling of moving and copying of emails back to the inbox which is problematic. Anybody who can replicate this behavior?
