[opensuse] no dropbox options when right clicking on 32bit pc
by george olson 23 May '12

23 May '12

Hi all, On my office desktop (box #2 below, 32 bit), when I click on dropbox in the system tray, it opens the dropbox folder in dolphin. Then when I click into the public folder, it navigates there fine. On my desktop at home, at this point if I right click on a file in order to get the public URL, in order to make a link to send out, I get dropbox options in the list that comes out on the right click menu. However in my office desktop, there are no dropbox options. any ideas? -- G.O.

[opensuse] Very strange thunderbird behavior
by Joseph Comfort 22 May '12

22 May '12

A couple of weeks ago, I did a Yast2 update of my 12.1 system. Thunderbird was updated to v12. thought I saw some strange behavior, but was away for awhile. Sometimes my emails show up in the message list. Sometimes they don't, but I can see them if I click on the 'unread' button. More annoying is that, frequently, the Inbox shows 1 message, and the 'unread' button shows something with no title or text and a data of 12/31/1969. It does not delete, but I can move to Trash or Junk. Later, I get it again. I have tried deleting the Inbox.msf file and letting TBird recreate it; and also compressing the folder. Eventually, the weird message comes back again. There were some other problems along the way, but I seem to have gotten past them. I reinstalled the previous 11.0.1 version; it had other problems and was worse. Mail comes into /var/spool/mail/<name> and I use 'movemail' to get it into thunderbird. (I am the only one on the computer). I have not seen a bugzilla or any message on the web about this situation. What to do?

[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!

[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??
