by George Olson 23 Apr '12

23 Apr '12

Hi everyone, I am just wondering what experiences people have had with Android based tablet pc's, connecting/syncing with openSUSE, and useability. I am considering purchasing one and would be interested to know what other people's experiences have been.

[opensuse] OpenSuSE 12.1: install to USB disk
by Markus Egg 23 Apr '12

23 Apr '12

Hello, I was looking for some way to install a OpenSuSE 12.1 to a USB harddisk. I found websites that describe installation to USB sticks but they all need some Windows tools (e.g. this one http://www.lidux.de/opensuse-usb-stick-installieren-persistent-windows/ ) I am looking for some method to do this without windows. Something like: 1) take downloaded OpenSuSE 12.1 ISO, burn to DVD 2) attach USB disk to computer 3) boot computer from DVD 4) select USB disk as installation location 5) finish installation (other Linux installation on builtin HDD is not touched. 6) reboot, select if you want to use GRUB from USB disk or GRUB from internal harddisk. 7) boot installation from USB disk or from builtin HDD 8) change settings and so on 9) save settings and other installations on e.g. USB disk Thanks in advance -- NEU: FreePhone 3-fach-Flat mit kostenlosem Smartphone!

[opensuse] Power saving with Intel Atom
by Roger Luedecke 23 Apr '12

23 Apr '12

I have an Intel Atom processor, and for some reason the newer kernels eat my battery. I have added a couple boot parameters, which help... particularly with the heat. I have installed powertop and laptop-mode-tools. The latter I have no clue how to use. Got any hot tips? I'll happily provide more info as its needed.

IOMMU > has been around for years... what kernel version were you having > issues with? Ooops... just checked with dmidecode and I've got a GA-990XA-UD3. So that's probably just enough different than the 990FX.... That said, I can recommend the board... works fine with the AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition CPU I put in it.

[opensuse] Freeseer not capturing everthing is there a better application?
by Steven Hess 23 Apr '12

23 Apr '12

I did a search in the repos installed on my machine for a video capture application and Freeseer was the only one that showed up. So I installed it and tried to make use of it. I am trying to capture the sequence of all the attempts I am trying to make to change settings in a web based app in Freeseer. It's not displaying everything in full motion. It's missing things and playing more like a slide show than a video. Is there a better app for 12.1 KDE? I have tried various configuration settings but it seems to have a rather poor default settings and is lacking a lot of things that would just seem basic to an application like this. You can't even name the video you are trying to make and it only uses .ogg for instance. My system has plenty of CPU being a quad core running at 3.2Ghz Steven -- ____________ Steven L Hess ARS KC6KGE DM05gd22 Google Voice 661 769 6201 +SMS openSUSE Linux 12.1 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] problems with RangePlus WUSB 100 Wireless USB adapter
by eddie 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

Hi All I've purchased a router and it comes with the RangePlus USB adapter. I've had it a while and am just now trying to get it working on my laptop. I am using opensuse 12.1 and KDE 4.7.2 After many hours of frustration and googling, I discovered that I can get my laptop to "see" the device by running the following commands as root: modprobe -v rt2800usb echo "1737 0078" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id I can then use the device by manually setting the network in yast. It will then work until I switch off the system but I have to run the command each time I start my laptop. My problems are twofold. 1. a) how can I setup my laptop so that the settings are remembered? or b) how can I setup my laptop so that the module is loaded and the "echo" command are run at bootup or whenever I plug in the adapter? 2. if I attempt to use a network manager, it displays the wireless device as being disabled. How can I get the network manager to use the device?

[opensuse] Video card - Nvidia Quadro 600?
by Thomas Taylor 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

Hi folks ;) Has anyone on this list have experience with the Nvidia Quatro 600? I'm in the market for a newer video card that will support either DVI or HDMI at a relative inexpensive price and this one caught my eye. Any other suggestions would also be appreciated.

[opensuse] latest samba online update 3.5 -> 3.6
by Ruediger Meier 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

Hi, Yesterday I've got samba auto-updated to 3.6 on an openSUSE 11.4 box. Now the shares are not accessible and not even browsable from our windows machines. I have this setup working since 5 years without any changes security = ADS realm = BLA.LOCAL encrypt passwords = yes password server = w2K3_sbs.bla.local username map = /etc/samba/smbusers Couldn't find anything useful in the logs. Downgrading to 3.5 fixed it again. I can't investigate the problem before weekend but maybe someone else had similar trouble and some hints for me. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
