[opensuse] lost konsole feature in kde 4.8
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

I have been using KDE as shipped in 12.1, except that I let it update apps. I updated to 4.8 yesterday and lost one of the great konsole features I discovered in the original: If I start konsole with the option: "ssh -t www.somewhere.else ssh acme" I get the expected remote login. The neat new thing I saw in the original 12.1 konsole was that if I opened a new tab in that console, it also did the remote login automatically. I was duly impressed. Just what I needed. This no longer happens in the konsole in 4.8. Instead, it is the older behavior that the new tab is a local shell. Anyone else seen this? Perhaps there is now a setting that controls this. Something like, "each new tab runs the command from the command line"? I don't see this. But perhaps I do not know where to look. I do lots of ssh stuff this way. It was a great feature. Please don't tell me it was a bug... -- Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer(a)ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] Fontconfig fonts priority
by Mariusz Fik 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

Hi, current fontconfig configuration[1] sets the highest priority for Microsoft font. If user install them (i.e. Times New Roman, Arial, Consolas) they will be set as _default_ for respectively families (sans-serif, sans, monospace). Why do we promote Microsoft fonts instead support open fonts, shipped with system? I propose[2] to downgrade those fonts. Thanks to this, we keep our default font settings but those MS fonts will be still available for use. Whats Your point of view in this case?

[opensuse] usb stick + KDE4 live CD image
by madworm_de.opensuse＠spitzenpfeil.org 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

Is there a know way to install a live CD image onto an usb stick with: a) not using the whole stick (16GB), but just one partition (e.g. sdb1) for the image b) having additional data partition(s) on there as well I'm not interested in having a 'persistent' live system on the stick, I just don't want to sacrifice 16GB for a 1GB image. I played a bit with syslinux and qemu for testing and got it to boot with that. Only it doesn't boot on a real PC. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] .desktiop file name extension
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

I have some files that contain [Desktop Entry] descriptions for KDE. They are shown as ICONS on the desktop. Some have the extension .desktop, and some do not. All seems to work in an identical fashion. My question: Is there any good reason, from the pov of KDE, to have the .desktop extension?

[opensuse] How to type special chars?
by Stefan Gofferje 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I haven't spent much thought about this in the 15 or so years I deal with Linux now but since I moved to Finland, it struck me... How do I type combined chars like éêë or ü under Opensuse 12.1 Under Windows and OSX, you type e.g. ´ and then e. On the Finnish keyboard there is a " button at the place where the ü is on the German keyboard, but it's not actually a " button. It is meant to create Üü by first pressing the button and then pressing Uu but again, similar to the ´ ` key, it immediately creates a " when you press it. So how do I type those combined chars? - -S - -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje | SCLT, MCP, CCSA //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | VCP #2263 V_/_ Heckler & Koch - the original point and click interface 09:12am up 20:56, 3 users, load average: 0.19, 0.20, 0.29 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk8k82QACgkQbQKZlCdPOMMKbQCffXUWIvLHwqolZ/SbVrScUgPw nnYAnit3nYVT4wZ+ZKv04A9ispsAHGei =HT7w -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
