It's not that these sites want me, I want them. For example, many touristic sites (B&Bs, small hotels, restaurants) are flash only. I'm quite sure that they didn't choose that technology. Some small company came in, presented some shiny lively method to be "on the Web", and the owners purchased it. Prices are ridiculously small for such work, you won't get real designs that way. (This is a statement of fact, I often contract good communication designers.) How shall those owners know that it's bad technology that they choose? They are no technicians. Most of them don't even know to operate the Windows system properly. E.g., I have restaurants that send around their changing menus be email -- in Excel format... Those few restaurant owners that I talked about that couldn't even understand the problems. One of them asked me to change it and set up a new process. When she heard about our hourly consulting rates, she staid with the Excel solution... And if I'm planning a holiday or some trip, I want to know about the opportunities for eating, tasting wine, going out, and sleeping. And I won't let technical snobbiness get into the way of that information gathering.

[opensuse] boot installed system
by Istvan Gabor 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Hello: My mbr was overwritten by windows. I would like to boot an installed opensuse 12.1 and reinstall grub onto mbr. Earlier in such cases I could use the install DVD to boot an installed system (in repair installed system menu). The repair option has been removed from openSUSE 12.1 install DVD. (It seems I read about this somewhere that there was not enough resource to maintain it.) Is it possible to use the 12.1 DVD and load an installed system? How?

[opensuse] firefox won't show data on certain websites
by George Olson 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Howdy, I have certain websites that I frequently use, but for some reason firefox won't show the data on those sites. They work fine in google chrome, and sometimes in konqueror (although sometimes also it shuts it down). I would like to upload a copy of screen shots to the web and provide a link so people can see what I am talking about. What do people use to upload a screen shot? I can't remember the address.

[opensuse] KDE SFTP accessing local machine
by Swapnil Bhartiya 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Hi, I am trying to access local machine over WiFi in KDE using sftp:// but when I enter username password of the machine I want to access it says incorrect. I can very easily do that using Nautilus, is there any bug or am I missing something? Is there any tool similar to Nautilus' Connect to Server in KDE?

[opensuse] Gnome 3 will not Logon
by Joseph Loo 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

I am having problem running Gnome 3 on 12.1. I loaded the proprietary Nvidia drivers 295.20 with dual display. I have the gt200 Nvidia card with a Xenon process (6). When I try to login in, it says one of the gnome 3 extension has failed. Try to turnoff the extension and re-login. I did the suggested turnoff, and it still fails. I suspect it is the alt-tab menu, but the extension is not on the activity setting. I found out that KDE, xfce, twm, will work. No gnome 3. Is there something I can help diagnose the problem. Loading the proprietary drivers using one click install is not an option. The company firewall will not let us setup the repository. Note, the noveau drivers work but no 2 screens. -- Joseph Loo jloo(a)acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] script to modify file permissions

Hi openSUSE 12.1 umask 0022 In a shared folder, we want any file created to be group rw.
