[opensuse] How to get Gnome?
by James Hatridge 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Hi all, I'm running 12.1 with KDE4, but I would like to add Gnome. How can I do that without reinstalling the whole 12.1? Thanks, JIM -- Check out my stamp & postcard collection! Yankee GO HOME!

There were not kernel update, only some flash, mozilla or so. But the complains started . Tried to restart, power off (removed power cables too) and took another 146GB sas disk into a bay. I'm out of ideas. Anyway - on the HP web are some links to decode that complains. But I do not use tape. Also remove "hpsa" module from "/etc/sysconfig/kernel" - not helped... Any suggestions or kick me to the right way ? Thanks and best regards J.K.

So that would be a non-option. Maybe we should ask the general list about an option that is FOSS. In fact I'll forward this. Dear list, we are looking for a way to video presentations or video conferencing. In particular, we are looking for an open source implementation. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Feedback Request: "NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M with Optimus Technology"
by Adam Tauno Williams 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

It appears my might HP DV7-3085DX has died, physically. <momement-of-silence/> So I'm shopping for a replacement [17in+ screen, Intel i7, 6GB RAM]. I find a "Dell Inspiron 17R i17RN-4812BK" which is very cost effective. But the GPU listed is - "NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M with Optimus Technology" I really *strongly* prefer to use nouveau GPU support but the nouveau wiki states - "you may not be able to use the Nvidia GPU at all on Optimus laptops." And the NVC0 family (which contains the 525M) says: "All sorts of fun. Feature-wise it isn't too different but the architecture has changed a lot. These cards are generally working with the latest kernel and Mesa but may still have power management issues. It is recommended to use the Linux 3.1 kernel or newer (or a backported driver from this kernel). Note: GeForce 405 does not belong to this family. " Does anyone have any first-hand experience with this GPU / laptop / chipset (specifically with nouveau & openSUSE 12.1)? It appears this item rules the laptop out, which is sad.

[opensuse] Regression bug in vim-enhanced 12.1 package -- it include a console 'vi' that requires 'X' to be running.
by Linda Walsh 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

I recently installed the vim-enhanced (7.3 22.1.3) and gvim-7.3.22 (which is called 'gvim-normal' upon install though it seems to have the script langs). The console version of vi hangs on startup if an 'X' server isn't running (DISPLAY is defined whether the X server is running or not)... I run 'vi' rarely, but have had lately because my 'X' servers on Windows are broken (cygwin and Xming...).. so vi hangs ... The reason I use 'vi(m)' is often because I don't have an 'X' server running. It still **eventuallly**.. (if you interrupt where it is waiting in the network call to the Xserver -- checked via strace), get 'vi' to come up in console mode. If the 'X' server is running, it comes up promptly in console mode. But it shouldn't require the X server to be running at all (not for 'vim')... has this been patched yet? forgive me if it has been already -- I have been dilatory in updating my patches directory... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.4 - xterm background went from dark to white after latest updates - how to fix?
by David C. Rankin 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Guys, My xterm background in kde3 has always been a pleasing dark color from my background color setting in either kde3 or gnome. For some reason, after updates this past week, my xterm background had changed to white? I didn't do anything to the box or reset anything, so where do I look to set the xterm color back to dark? Which setting controls this? Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Anyone using MapR?
by Roger Oberholtzer 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

A colleague just had someone install Ubuntu 10.04 on a set of machines, and then MapR (http://www.mapr.com), and I will need to help maintain these. Seems he was really after the MapR stuff more than Ubuntu. I would be happier if I could get him to use openSUSE as the base instead. So, is anyone using MapR on openSUSE? They only list Ubuntu, RedHat and CentOS. But that is seldom the full story...

[opensuse] Calling all coders!
by Roger Luedecke 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

In case you haven't heard of codeacademy.com I want to just make a quick blurb. Basically it is a simple, hand on way to learn programming quickly and easilly. Check it out. To the coders, though I don't know if helping to create new courses would benefit our community directly I wanted to encourage anybody who is willing to contribute. Currently they don't have very much on the various languages. I'm doing the Javascript tract right now, but wish they had a C++ tract. This is the sort of resource I've been hoping for a long time for. If you are so inclined, please help make more courses since this is really a fantastic resource for people like me who have wanted to contribute to code but haven't the experience or knowledge. Thank you for your time and consideration!
