[opensuse] Android print solution?
by David C. Rankin 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Guys, With the iphone we were able to configure good print function via CUPS/Avahi, is there anything similar that can be done with an Android tablet? Looking, it doesn't appear that there is any basic print capability provided by Android (3.2 Honeycomb). I would like to print to by openSuSE server in the same manner I do from iOS. Anybody found a good solution? I have found PrintBot, but that isn't a solution because it cannot be used legally where confidentiality is required. (data is transferred to a 3rd party server before printing). I need to find a direct print solution. What says the braintrust? -- David C.

[opensuse] openSUSE on ASUS Tranformer?
by Vojtěch Zeisek 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hi all, as openSUSE 12.2 for ARM is now out, see http://news.opensuse.org/2012/11/06/opensuse-12-2-for-arm-final/ I wonder if there is some (easy) possibility to install it to my ASUS Transformer TF300T. I'd like to keep Android and use it as dual boot. Have a nice day! Vojta -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/

It would appear that on Oct 24, Greg Freemyer did say: > The keys themselves are public, but you as the hardware owner will > have to approve keys being added to public key database and therefore > ensure you are only adding public keys for entities you trust. "trust"??? OK if I'm supposed to add keys based on trust, how to subtract Microsoft??? {snicker} Actually I'm wondering about this: These public keys are effectively embedded in the kernel code somehow right? Or would it be possible for knowledgeable PC owner, to create his own "trust" key set. And then use it to "sign" an existing, older, formerly unsigned kernel. Then as PC Owner, add that key... {You see where I'm going with this right?} And if so, is there any reason that technique couldn't be used to install and run something like dos? {I have a couple of antique games you see} -- JtWdyP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Mozilla updates arriving delayed on openSUSE
by Marco Calistri 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hello, Wonder why Mozilla updates are usually arriving delayed in comparison to the Microsoft version. I.E. I get Mozilla Firefox 16.0.2 some days ago and Thunderbird 16.0.2 today for my Windows machines but nothing yet for openSUSE 12.2. Thanks.

[opensuse] how to set global environment variables in crontabs
by Meike Stone 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

Hello list, I've a question related to cron on SuSE. I like to set global environment variables for all cron jobs. I see, that per default the cron runs a /bin/sh (link to /bin/bash). But in this mode of bash, the profile file will not included. So my questions are: 1) Is there a possibility to set global environment variables with using /bin/sh? 2) Or if not, how do I configure the /bin/bash as default for all crontabs? I know, that I can set environment variables in the crontabs (cron.d, cron.daily, ...) itself, but that is not the requested solution. I tried to set the SHELL=/bin/bash in the /etc/crontab, but that is not working!

[opensuse] Why did Windows never do the equivalent of /home ?
by Duaine Hechler 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Wouldn't it behoove MS, to implement the /home concept (separating the OS from the users' data in different partitions) ? Once I got "into" Linux, I never understood why MS did not implement this. It would make it so much easier for all the support people (and users - who do their own thing) Any ideas ? -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ - Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding (314) 838-5587 / dahechler(a)att.net / www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com Home & Business user of Linux - 12 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] samba-3.6.9-130.1.i586 breaks AD auth?
by Moby 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

I have opensuse machines (12.2 on tumbleweed, 12.2 not on tumbleweed, and 12.1 not on tumbleweed) that run Samba configured as member servers in an AD domain. Windows clients and other machines (linux running samba etc) can map (or mount) samba exports. Everything was working fine until samba got updated on the machines to version 3.6.9-130.1 from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/samba:/STABLE/. Now all attempts to map (or mount) fail with access denied. Is anyone else seeing this problem?

[opensuse] Logitech h390 USB headset troubles
by Jim Sabatke 02 Dec '12

02 Dec '12

I needed a headset that doesn't use the standard headphone jack which has worn to the point where it is intermittent and will soon need pretty expensive service to work. So, I bought a Logitech h390 USB headset hoping that it would work on my openSuse 12.2 laptop (HP G72-B60US). I have all updates installed as of today. I had a little trouble getting it working, and net searches made it look pretty much hopeless, but I finally found a configuration that has both earphones and microphone working. So far so good, until I rebooted and it wouldn't work. I experimented and the following behaviors occur: 1. Booting with the h390 plugged in results in the headset not working. 2. Booting with the h390 plugged I can login to a user, but then the keyboard is totally unresponsive. The mouse still works. 3. Booting with the h390 unplugged and then logging into a user, and THEN plugging the h390 in allows the h390 and keyboard to function properly. 4. After step 3, locking the computer, or going into the sleep mode, and then returning to the user still allows the h390 and keyboard to function. 5. After step 3, switching to another user disables the h390 and the keyboard. 6. After step 5, switching back to the original user enables the h390 and keyboard. In any case where the h390 and keyboard do not function, I have found no combination of unplugging and plugging in the h390 that will re-enable the h390 and keyboard until the laptop is rebooted with the h390 unplugged. Obviously I can work around this, albeit in an ugly manner. Also, the other user is not computer savvy enough to be able to understand how to make it work, and I am basically trying to make her happy by getting video chat working for her. I've really hit a wall here. Any pointers would be appreciated. TIA, Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
