[opensuse] n00b: Using Joomla to create a website.
by Roger Luedecke 22 May '12

22 May '12

I'm trying to use Joomla to build a website. This may not be the right approach. But in any event, I want to get an attractive site up quickly, but as I dig around it looks like I'm going to be doing a lot more HTML and CSS stuff than I expected. I was going to use a template that uses the JA T3 framework, which I thought had an admin panel. I have gone through some of the Joomla documentation, and am just lost at this point. If i have to do CSS and such, I'll learn it through Codeacademy.com but I would like some tips, if somebody could point me to the right direction. I'm open to using another CMS if it would be easier. I just want to get a relatively simple but compelling site up for my small business. Should I use a WYSIWYG editor like Kompozer? I'm just lost, and need some pointers so I can actually understand what I need to know to get where I want. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] zypper threshold for switching to segmented downloads?
by Per Jessen 22 May '12

22 May '12

Not sure where really to ask this question. I am putting the final touches on an article on how to run Squid to cache openSUSE repositories. As part of some traffic analysis, I've noticed that once data is cached locally (and therefore delivered at 9-10Mbyte/s), zypper seems to stop doing segmented downloading. Instead zypper only uses download.opensuse.org which is where the cache is kept on the local Squid. There's no problem, I just want to understand if there is such a threshold. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.7°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Calibre question
by James Hatridge 22 May '12

22 May '12

HI all, I use Calibre to convert ebook files from Mobi or TXT to epub. But when I try to read the new epub file on my Trekstor reader I get "Invaid file format". Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks! JIM -- Check out my stamp & postcard collection! Yankee GO HOME!

Hello, Are there any opensuse builds for openssh-hpn, high performance ssh? I can't find any and I was hoping that someone here has experimented with it. Thank you, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Add menu to panel
by James Knott 21 May '12

21 May '12

This is a continuation of a thread in the LibraOffice mail list. In KDE 3, it was possible to add a section of the main menu to the panel, so that you could have a pop-up list of applications. In OS/2, it was possible to add a "Drawer" to the task bar, so that you could have a list of applications to choose from. Is there anything similar available in KDE 4 (KDE 3 mode), so that you could click on an icon on the panel that opens a list of apps to chose from? All I can find is the menu launcher, which simply duplicates the menu that's normally at the left end of the panel. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

This was in openSUSE 12.1, but it's been a while since I installed it. It installs KDE 4, but looks like KDE 3. You also have to make some adjustments to the desktop to get it to look right. However, in the process, some nice features of KDE 3 were lost. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] My Opensuse 12.1 are slow
by Gunnar 21 May '12

21 May '12

Why are my Win XP so much quicker then my 12.1. The CPU goes to 100% when I starts some thing. I have the same problem with KDE and Icewm. In Win XP,there are no delay, I start a program and it start. In Opensuse, it take nearly 1 min. with no response, everything seems to have died. Any clues??

[opensuse] pulseaudio-1.1-1.2 no sound when selecting input
by George Olson 21 May '12

21 May '12

Howdy all, It started this morning with skype. I was trying to skype home and used skype call testing service on my lenovo laptop (64 bit) and it would not record the sound from my internal mic. So I opened pavucontrol and looked for the sound indicator bar on the "input devices" tab, and the bar was not there. I went to the configuration tab, and it was set to "Analog Stereo Output". I switched it to "Analog Stereo Input" and the sound indicator bar on the input devices tab appeared and indicated sound whenever I talked into the mic. But when I went back to the "configuration" tab and switched it back to "Analog Stereo Output", the "Input Devices" tab shows that no input devices are available and the bar is not there. This renders skype unusable on my laptop, since in order to use skype, I have to have pavucontrol open, and switch the device in focus on the configuration tab to Analog Stereo Input when I want to talk, and then switch it to Analog Stereo Output when I want to listen to the other side. I have pulseaudio-1.1-1.2 on this laptop. lspci shows that my audio device is: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) On my desktop, I also have pulseaudio-1.1-1.2, but a different type of Audio device. Skype and the input-output thing do not have a problem on my desktop - only my laptop. Oh yes, one more thing to note. I rebooted the computer into openSUSE 11.4, which uses pulseaudio-0.9.22-6.11.1, and I was able to both speak and listen at the same time without having to adjust anything on pavucontrol. Any ideas on how to fix the problem? -- G.O.

[opensuse] SAMBA pam winbind config problem
by lynn 20 May '12

20 May '12

Does anyone have a working /etc/pam.d config for winbind on openSUSE 12.1 they could share? Any mention of winbind in any of auth account or session either locks me out or prevents root logins. Everything else works fine. wbinfo -u, getent passwd, getent group. . . We just can't login. We are using a Samba4 DC and so are unable to get Yast to add the pam entries for us. We have however transferred the pam setup from an official Samba3.6 12.1 install we have on a client joined to the domain. Same problem. Kerberos keeps seeing the principal as DOMAINlynn even though I give DOMAIN\\lynn as my login at the cli. This was also a problem under Ubuntu LTS until we added the pam entries Here are our current files under pam.d on the Samba4 DC: common-account account requisite pam_unix2.so account required pam_krb5.so use_first_pass ignore_unknown_principals common-auth auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_unix2.so auth sufficient pam_krb5.so use_first_pass auth required pam_deny.so common-session session required pam_limits.so session required pam_unix2.so session optional pam_krb5.so session optional pam_umask.so session optional pam_systemd.so This works fine with nss-pam-ldapd for both user and group mapping and authentication. With libnss-winbind it only works for mappings. For nss-pam-ldapd we have nsswitch.conf as follows: passwd: compat ldap group: compat ldap and for nss-winbind we have: passwd: compat winbind group: compat winbind The samba-list have a copy of this. The reason I have posted here is that the pam.d winbind entries work fine with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Here are the Ubuntu entries: common-account account [success=1 new_authtok_reqd=done default=ignore] pam_winbind.so common-auth auth [success=2 default=ignore] pam_winbind.so krb5_auth krb5_ccache_type=FILE cached_login try_first_pass common-session session optional pam_winbind.so Can anyone translate those to openSUSE 12.1?

[opensuse] nVidia repos unavailable?
by Werner Flamme 20 May '12

20 May '12

Hi everyone, what happened to the nVidia repositories? On <http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories#NVIDIA_drivers> I read "The nVidia repositories are only browseable via ftp." and the location for the 12.1 version of opensuse should be <ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.1/>. This was right yesterday, but today the opensuse tree of the server seems not to exist any more - the alphabetical listing stops at the directory ndemand_emea, followed by 3 files. And the One-Click-Install on <http://opensuse-community.org/nvidia.ymp> suggests the same location. Was there a filesystem crash at nVidia's or did the repos move away (and where)?
