[opensuse] Quick Launch Behavior
by SuSE User 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Not sure if this is a bug or a "feature". I have been delaying moving from 11.4 to 12.2 because of the quick launch behavior on KDE in 12.2. When I click on either the dolphin or firefox icon in the quick launch area they launch but the quick launch icon is covered and I'm unable to launch a second instance. Is this "feature" customizable ? Gary Ernst-- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kerberos Access & Ticket Management
by Adam Tauno Williams 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

openSUSE 12.2 x86_64 gnome-shell-3.6.2-1.2.x86_64 I access resources in an Active Directory domain from my laptop. What is the best way to manage Kerberos tickets from GNOME3? I has assumed there would be a Kerberos "online account", but that isn't available. Adding Kerberos to 'the system' via YaST does not work well as it is my laptop and that assumes my account == my AD account. -- Adam Tauno Williams GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to set up a fast search for file names?
by Davi C. Rodrigues 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

I do like the fast and simple interface of krunner. I just start typing on the desktop and it starts the search. Problem: I cannot configure it to look for file names only. Most of the time, the single search engine I need is for file names, not for file contents. Is there a way to set this? The desired output I can achieve by using the Find within Dolphin, except for two issues: 1) It takes more time to open Dolphin, press Ctrl+F and then starting typing. 2) Each typed word in the search field must appear in the same order of the file name. Hence, if a file is named "Dogs and cats need air.pdf", a search with the entry "cats air" will not find that file. Any ideas?

[opensuse] thunderbird and encripted passwords

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, After learning that the keylock icon on the accounts means that the connection is secure, I wondered if I could secure those that are not. I tried connection security STARTTLS and SSL/TLS, no go. I found that "encripted password" works, though, so that's a good small thing. In fetchmail I see in the log: fetchmail 18516 - - 6.3.19 querying imap.telefonica.net (protocol IMAP) at 2012-12-20T13:46:26 CET: poll started fetchmail 18516 - - Trying to connect to 213.4.149.65/143...connected. fetchmail 18516 - - IMAP< * OK IMAP4 PROXY server ready fetchmail 18516 - - IMAP> A0001 CAPABILITY fetchmail 18516 - - IMAP< * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS IDLELOGIN-REFERRALS NAMESPACE QUOTA CHILDREN SORT AUTH=CRAM-MD5 fetchmail 18516 - - IMAP< A0001 OK capabilities listed fetchmail 18516 - - IMAP> A0002 AUTHENTICATE CRAM-MD5 so it is using "CRAM-MD5".

[opensuse] Steam for Linux Public Beta
by C 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

This may be of interest to the gamers here. http://steamcommunity.com/games/221410/announcements/detail/174766017333271… I've been in the closed Beta, and Steam runs fine on openSUSE once you track down all the missing 32 bit libs (if you run it on 64 bit like me). There are currently 39 Linux games but not all are working from within the Steam client. Works best overall with nVidia and the latest Beta binary drivers.

That image looks like it was taken of a full desktop, but it's > a 1024x576 pixel (still 16:9, same as 1600x900) image. I checked the display setting from inside KDE and XFCE... both report the monitor as 1600x900. I ran the Hardware Probe module from YaST, and it shows the monitor resources as being 1600x900 as well. I don't know if it makes a difference or not... but this system has two video controllers - one is an Intel HD 4000, and the other is an nVidia NVS 5400M. Honestly I'm not really sure which does what, other than they seem to 'just work' and they give *very* good performance (by my standards, anyways) under Win 7 Pro. No problems yet under other distros (Mint, Scientific, etc.). >It may be that > XFCE/Xorg and YaST are somehow out of sync on screen resolution.

Nope. The first time I posted about this was after a fresh install of nothing but XFCE. Had to fool around with some partitions and what not (going for quad boot) and re-installed, this time with a default KDE install and then from the Software Manager installed the patterns for XFCE. Whatever GNOME there is on this system got pulled in as a dependency, nothing more. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] XDMCP as an alternative to a KVM switch
by Anton Aylward 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

For years I've used a KVM switch between the machines on and under my desk. between upgrades and acquisitions I'm getting unhappy with this. One acquisition is a larger screen and the KVM is getting in the way of EDID with some of the machines/video cards. So I'm wondering about the alternatives. XDMCP is one. Creating lots of virtual screens aka workspaces (depending on the DM you're using) and opening a telnet in each then ssh'ing or vnc'ing is one way. I can't say its wonderful, not least of all since my desktop runs KDE4 and other machines run variously Xfce and E17 and LXDE and IceWM and openbox ... or can; the Xfce login manager makes it easy to choose between them when the KVM selects the server ... But not all login managers support XDMCP. What do those of you in this situation do? -- I don't suffer from insanity.
