I want to see if this goes through. I'm wondering if sending via html was my problem causing my posts to previously be denied. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Cross-posting - why not?

Katherine, I'm replying to both you and the list with your reply in place. I hope that's fine.

Too many rules here. I've posted three times, and have been denied three times with no clear explanation. I switched from HTML to plain text for all email messages, for there is no way to set it up through Outlook 2010 for format preference per list, only per message, but even after fixing that, I've still been denied. I don't know why you were denied. I too get annoyed with the no HTML rule, but I'd rather not bring that into this thread. As to how to setup Outlook, I'm afraid I have no idea. I exercise Outlook for some projects at work, but I don't use it much for linux mailing list interaction. ;) Greg Greg -- Greg Freemyer Head of EDD Tape Extraction and Processing team Litigation Triage Solutions Specialist http://www.linkedin.com/in/gregfreemyer CNN/TruTV Aired Forensic Imaging Demo - http://insession.blogs.cnn.com/2010/03/23/how-computer-evidence-gets-retrie… The Norcross Group The Intersection of Evidence & Technology http://www.norcrossgroup.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is this a useful error message
by ianseeks 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi I seem to get this error every other day just after i've logged in and before i've launched anything. FETCH JOB ERROR (Plasma Desktop Shell) Unknown Error (unable to fetch item from backend) Does anyone know who (app) owns this unhelpful message and what it may really mean in a more specific and helpful way ? It brings back bad memories for me of GPF Fault messages on early versions of Windows. regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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] Installation failure of openSuSE12.2, I need help.
by Marc Chamberlin 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Searching around on the internet, it appears I am in for a rough road trying to install a dual boot system on my new ASUS G75VW laptop. (It came with Windows 7 x64 installed and there is a lot of chatter in Google land about something called EFI partitions??? Also a lot of Google hits on openSuSE forums, but when I try to open them up for viewing, my browser (Firefox) is not showing any contents!) I downloaded and created an installation DVD for openSuSE12.2 x64 and managed to figure out how to reach the bios and change the device boot order so as to boot from the DVD drive first. Upon inserting the DVD installation disk and powering up the laptop I can see that the initial phase of bringing up ELILO boot, (what happened to GRUB?) loads the kernel and perhaps a screen and a half worth of additional messages (too fast for me to read). But suddenly the display breaks up badly with unreadable lines that look mostly like a lot of dots and dashes start appearing, and it appears to soon reach a GUI (composed of green, grey, and white streaks of colors) but this too is badly corrupted and non-readable. So I am not even reaching a point where I can configure anything while attempting to install openSuSE! The display adapter is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M if that helps... So how do I proceed?

[opensuse] Kmail filters suddenly stopped working
by Dennis Gallien 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Running KDE 4.9.2 from the 49 repo (12.2, x64), have not updated *anything* for ~6 weeks. My Kmail incoming filters have all been working, no problem at all. A couple days ago the filters just stopped working on incoming (POP) messages. Once in the inbox the Apply All Filters works, but again not as messages are being received. Suggestions?

Running KDE 4.9.2 from the 49 repo (12.2, x64), have not updated anything for ~6 weeks. My Kmail incoming filters have all been working fine, no problem at all. A few days ago the filters just stopped working on incoming (POP) messages. Once in the inbox I can use the context menu Apply All Filters and the messages are all filtered, but again, not as the messages are being received. I know others have had problems with the Kmail filters, but since I haven't but then problem later cropped up suddenly as it did, I'm stumped on where to look. Suggestions? (Is it safe to go to 4.9.3?) TIA, --dg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] cannot print duplex in firefox etc on 12.2
by John King 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Opensuse 12.2 Firefox 17 Cups 1.5.4 I have recently moved from opensuse 11.4 to 12.2 (new installation) and now find that I cannot print in duplex from firefox, thunderbird, google chrome and kate. Printer OKI C531dn, using the oki supplied ppd file. Duplex printing is faultless in okular, acrobat and libreoffice (once the printer language type in libreoffice is changed from pdf to postscript), but firefox, thunderbird, chrome and kate will not print duplex whatever the settings in their print dialogues. In 11.4, using the same ppd file, there was no problem with duplex printing, using a cups 1.5.4 server. Also, I can print in duplex from these applications in xubuntu12.04 and Mint14, using the same ppd file. The cups version is 1.6.1 on both these machines. The fact that I had to change the printer language type in Libreoffice from pdf to postscript to enable duplex printing made me wonder whether there is something similar I have to change in the mozilla/kate/chrome configuration, but I haven't been able to find anything similar. If I redirect the print from the cups server on my 12.2 to a virtualbox mint14 cups server, then duplex printing works, so it does seem something specific to the 12.2 setup. I'd appreciate any pointers to how I can correct this. John -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
