[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? Thanks in advance, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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.

[opensuse] just a quick test

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

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?
