[opensuse] cannot adjust bash profile settings
by george olson 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

Hi all, I am setting up my laptop with OS 11.4 32 bit and KDE 4.6.00. Just a few setup problems. First of all, I have a high resolution monitor, so all my fonts are small. I am working on that. But the first thing I want to adjust is the profile setting on bash. I go to settings -> configure profiles -> edit profile, and I try to change from small font black background with green color to white or anything else, and it won't adjust. I tried to slide the slider bar to make the font bigger, and on the dialog box it shows a bigger font, but it does not take the bigger font. The "apply" button doesn't do anything, or gray out or apply any changes no matter what changes I make. I have made the adjustment on my other pc with no problem. It seems like the application of any changes I make is disabled, whether I hit the apply button or the ok button. Can anyone tell me what to do next? Thanks George -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Upgrading Python in v11,4
by Stan Goodman 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

What my system has is Python v2.7, which it got from the DVD original installation. I found what I take to be the right repo to update from: <http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/openSUSE…> and tried to add it to the repos in YaST. The retort from YaST is: ***** Unable to create repository from URL 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/openSUSE…' ***** Why? -- 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] IP address & OS

From an IP address, can I tell what OS is running ? Case in point, AT&T DNS server IP addresses - do they have a virus ?

[opensuse] Screen resolution problem
by Anders Norrbring 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi all.. I'm having a screen resolution problem on my HP laptop with ATI Radeon mobility. When installing openSUSE I chose 1280x1024 for my screen, it worked perfectly on both the laptop screen and the external VGA monitor. But, when I start X and KDE, the resolution on the external VGA goes down to 1024x768 while the desktop is still presented in 1280x1024. How can I force the external VGA into showing the full 1280x1024 screen? When I look in the global screen options in KDE, the maximum for VGA is showing 1024x768 while the internal LCD can be set to 1680x1050..

[opensuse] GNOME Desktop: Why diversity on the "BLACK" tones
by Marco Calistri 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi, I Noticed in the past and currently that GNOME is generally representing a "less dark" BLACK than KDE, when showing black text on the screen. Tonite I noticed other little detail: under GNOME 3.0.2 Desktop, Evolution is showing a TXT composed email as light-black/gray tone, while an HTML composed email appears with a better, brilliant, darker black. Wonder why this happens and if exists a way to set a "super dark" black, independently of the type of the desktop environment/application. Please see the attached pictures, to better understand what I mean: Evolution under GNOME 3.0.2 HTML Rendering: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amdturion/6074882873/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Evolution under GNOME 3.0.2 TXT Rendering: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amdturion/6074882749/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Cheers, -- Marco Calistri (amdturion) opensuse 11.4 Celadon - Linux 2.6.37.6-0.7-desktop x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology MK-36 - GeForce Go 6150 Gnome 3.0.2 -- 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 23 Aug '11

23 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 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? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.0.0-11-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.00 (4.7.0) 21:17pm up 6:47, 3 users, load average: 3.99, 3.65, 3.28 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

The oldest with the date July 30 and of today, the 23 of august 281 files. Can somebody explain how to manage the amount of files and space occupied by these akonadi database?
