[opensuse] Chromium on 12.2 <>Chrome
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Using Chromium already for a long time and are satisfied with the program. Since today I am pestered with a advertisement for Chrome on a dutch daily site ad.nl which asks me to start using chrome and presents me with a video. Every time the site reloads (every five minutes I guess) this video starts over. it for now eats in my CPU. Would like to inform the advertisement that chromium=chrome is already running . Is there something I can do to get rid of this unnecessary ad, apart from downloading chrome? -- Linux User 183145 using KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 12.2 (i586) Kernel: 3.4.11-2.16-default KDE Development Platform: 4.9.4 "release 4" 12:34pm up 1 day 11:10, 3 users, load average: 4.46, 3.01, 2.37 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 12.2 Download
by Chris Arnold 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

List, I have been trying to download 12.2 64 bit from the opensuse.org website for 2 days. I primarily use a Mac with osx and just double click to mount a iso. I also get an error about not being able to mount the image on another Mac with osx (so I am sure it is not my Mac that is the problem). These same macs can mount any other image. My question, is anybody else experiencing ISo issues with the opensuse download? I have tried direct download, torrent and other mirrors with the same issue.

[opensuse] question on education repository
by George Olson 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

Hello all, I am selling a 10 year old desktop that I just recently installed openSUSE 12.2 on (32 bit) with an 80 gb hard drive. The person that is buying it was asking about educational games for kids to put on it, so I thought I would install the education repository and check out what was available. However, I found that on the openSUSE website, the last stable education repository that was made available was for openSUSE 11.0. (see here: http://en.opensuse.org/Education_repositories) So I am wondering what decisions were made about the education repository? Is there something else that covers everything in it for later distributions? It turns out that I think they are going to install windows xp on the computer anyway, but it made me curious about what is going on with that. -- George Olson Box #1: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.2 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | ATI Radeon HD 3300 | 16GB Box #2: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.1 | AMD Athlon X3 | 64 | nVidia C61 GeForce 7025 | 4GB Laptop: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.2 | Core i7-2620M | 64 | Intel HD Graphics 3000 | 8GB learning openSUSE and loving it -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ps axfl - I used to get the whole line, in 12.2 it's truncated?

[opensuse] KDE upgrade from 4.8 to 4.9
by Davi C. Rodrigues 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

After the answers to my question on Okular 0.15, I would like to do a KDE upgrade. I have opensuse 12.2. Before proceeding I would like to check if I am not doing anything dumb. >From https://en.opensuse.org/KDE_repositories I just learned which repos I need to add. I read that before adding the new repos I must disable the two repos: KDE:Extra KDE:UpdatedApps The above are the only active repos with "KDE" in the name that I have. To disable a repository I only need to unckeck the "Enabled" option in Yast / Software Repositories, or should I delete the repository without cheking "Keep Downloaded Packages"? Finally, just to double check, such upgrade is "stable" and usually happens without issues, right?

[opensuse] memory card, vfat and file dates
by Istvan Gabor 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hello: I use an SD card in my digital camera. When I mount the card in openSUSE (through a memory card reader) the creation dates of the files has a one hour shift compared to the real creation dates. For example for a photo taken at 18:30, the file creation date shown is openSUSE is 19:30. I use KDE 3.5.10 that mounts the card automatically as /media/disk. I changed the mount option from "winnt" to "windows95" but it did not changed creation time. How could I get the real creation time instead of the shifted one in openSUSE?

[opensuse] about mail server and formats
by Amaury Viera Hernández 06 Dec '12

Hi everyone, I'm using postfix as smtp on my mail server, I need that : 1- When the users send emails with atachments in .doc formats, the mailserver could send this messages with this atachments in .odt too. 2- When the users send emails with atachments in .odt formats, the mailserver could send this messages with this atachments in .doc too. 3- When the users receive emails with atachments in .odt formats, the mailserver could store this messages with this atachments in .doc too. 4- When the users receive emails with atachments in .doc formats, the mailserver could store this messages with this atachments in .odt too. 5- The others combinations between office and opendocument formats(I know that office 2010 supports the opendocument format, but i need to convert the documents while the users are sending and receiving emails). Some ideas, tools or ways to do it? I apologize me for my language, I don't speak english fluentlly, Regards, Amaury. 10mo.

[opensuse] Cross-posting - why not?

That's been part of the official wiki page less than 24 hours! I wonder if it was discussed, or just added to the rules with little thought. I'd argue that cross_posting is fine if everyone follows a reply-all philosophy and all of the lists allow posts by non-subscribers. It does simplify things if your email client deduplicates the emails. (I use gmail for mailing lists and it does that behind the scenes. I never know that I got 2 copies of the same email.) That's how LKML (linux kernel mailing lists) handles it, so those technically elite users encourage and use a cross-posting philosophy on their main lists. I see it employed all the time there and I don't recall anyone ever complaining. With LKML, the end result is a collection of 100 or so related specialized lists were specialists are subscribed to just a few lists and anyone can post to any of the lists. If an issue affects multiple areas, then the posters just cross-post to all of the various lists and the reply-all philosophy that is mandated on LKML lists makes it work transparently. Fyi: numerous of the more technical opensuse lists have been open to all posters for years, they rely on spam filters to keep the spam out. A few spams get in every now and then, but I bet it is only 10 or 20 per year. fyi2: You should note I did not post this to multiple lists, but it is a perfect example of a post that would fit on more than one list. In particular, this one and -project. I don't really even know which one is the better choice. I chose this one only because this is where the reference link was made. Clearly my vote is that ALL opensuse lists be opened up for non-subscriber posts and follow the lead of LKML for both the reply-all and the cross-posting netiquette issues.
