[opensuse] How do I fix this?
by Bruce Ferrell 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

a zypper up of an 11.4 system rendered my system unbootable; the root filesystem (/dev/rd/c0d0p2 DAC960 controller) didn't appear after the update. So I decided this was a good time to bring the system all the way up to 12.2 and maybe that would bring thing up... No dice still, so I tested with a system rescue, the actual filesystem IS intact. It just appears the udev isn't doing the right thing in the initrd. How do I fix the initrd?

[opensuse] libreoffice fodt format omission
by e-letter 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Readers, The installation of libreoffice that is provided with opensuse does not allow documents to be saved in flat odt format (beneficial to use LO with version control such as subversion). Is there a reason for this? How to add fodt format option to opensuseLO, or is it better to remove opensuseLO and install LO from their web site? libreoffice35 opensuse122 P.S. please reply directly and to mailing list; am a 'nomail' subscriber. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
