[opensuse] RE: SAMBA SERVER in opensuse 11.4 - completely stable KDE
by IDS000 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

I need some help creating a SAMBA Server. - (Hope my attachment don’t get striped) I do NOT run any Domain or DNS Server locally. I use a web hosting company to host my web site - much cheaper that way. I have a Notebook with Windows 7 Home Premium on and I have it configured for a 'Workplace' and a 'workgroup' Using nothing but yast, if I can set up a SAMBA with too much command line input; could someone help me create a working SAMBA Server. I have already configured Yast in SAMBA Server including the workgroup name that is constant and not a DC. Best if I add a screen shot. I cannot do anything that refers to a domain as their is none. I have also set-up in Yast Windows domain membership and just input the same work group name. No Matter what I cannot see my MS PC and my MS PC cannot see my PC that has a SAMBA Server running..Yes they are both on they same subnet... I think a pic would help enormously in this case also I don’t know what to do with the various relevant components in KDE's System Setup Scott - .AU -- Confidentiality/Limited Liability Statement This message contains privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the addressee named above.

[opensuse] Re: [opensuse-factory] what you can do with KDE3 that you can't do with KDE4.
by James Knott 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

One thing I've noticed is that KDE4 simply doesn't work as well as KDE3, even ignoring the differences in features. For example, often when I click on something to open it, I have to hunt to see where it is, rather than it opening on top of everything else. I also find that when something opens, it often does not have focus for the keyboard, so that if, for example, I press Alt-F2 to run something, I find that even though the box opens, I wind up typing into another app. In this aspect alone, KDE4 has a long way to go to catch up to KDE3, even before considering the things that are no longer possible in KDE4. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] MozillaFirefox-3.6.x already dropped?
by Felix Miata 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

I thought 3.6.x would be continued until at least later this month, until LTS 10.4 or whatever is available. Is this absence an error or otherwise temporary? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse] VLAN & Network Manager 12.1
by James Knott 12 Apr '12

Is it possible to set up a VLAN with the Network Manager in 12.1? I don't see any way to do that. It's easy enough with the traditional ifup method. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Poor performance in 12.1
by James Knott 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Stortly after openSUSE 12.1 was release, I upgraded a computer that had previously been running 11.0 very well. However, since installing 12.1, I've noticed frequent, extensive disk activity, that essentially renders my computer unresponsive for several seconds. I don't have to be doing anything for this disk activity to start. Has anyone else experienced this? Fixes? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

They immediately get "sorted" by the left edge (while I like them by the upper/lower edge) of the screen (never happened in KDE3) - +1 for slow, I have dual-core 2.7GHz 64-bit AMD Phenom with 4 GB RAM, and KDE4 is still much slower than KDE3 - desktop effects? who needs them? yes, they look nice, but only for half an hour, then become annoying... even the desktop cube, only good to impress Windows people :) - oh, and +1000 for panel hiding... why is it so hard to implement? Just to avoid any confusion, I work on both KDE3 and KDE4, have been using KDE4 since the first edition till the latest 4.8.2, but never could get used to it... whenever I go back to KDE3 (even after a year of not using it) it is like going back home...

[opensuse] printer access is very slow in case of netrwork failure
by Istvan Gabor 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hello: This is on openSUSE 11.2. Because of system service some of our LAN's services was off for a while today. This means that kinternet icon showed a connected network and network traffic, but the nameserver part indicated a "waiting for reply' status. DHCP test timed out: # dhcpcd --test eth0 err, eth0: timed out Under these conditions I noticed that access of printers became very slow. For example in adobe reader it took 60-80 second to just show up the print dialog. Opening print properties dialog in it also took ~40 seconds, while sending a page to the printer took 40-70 secs. I measured similar delays in KPDF/kprinter. After turning off the network (hang up net connection in kinternet) accessing the printers was normal, showingprint dialog immediately, sending pages to the printer 1 sec. Connecting to the network again - printer access delayed again. Is this normal behavior? Well better to ask if this is known? I guess it might be related to cups server. But it definitely should not be such delays when printing independently of network status.
