However, that didn't seem to actually be happening, because the EE School at Purdue did a far better job at teaching programing than the CS School. For example, EE did a far better job teaching the student to analyze a problem first and decide what's the best strategy for solving a problem, as opposed to "I'm just gonna sit down and write using my favorite algorithms and try to avoid the algorithms I don't like" which was what seemed to result from "present the algorithm before presenting a problem" style of teaching. EE also did a far better job of teaching the ideas of verifying both input and output for validity than the CS school did. Admittedly, this is only one campus, but Purdue is a pretty influential University when it comes to computing. The number of CS and computer-oriented EE grads each year amounts to about 10x as many as most other schools in the 35,000 student range that also offer such programs. Each School of Engineering at Purdue (Electrical, Mechanical, Nuke, Aero &Astro, Chemical, Industrial, Materials, etc.) rivals the size of the aggregate total of ALL engineering assets at many similarly sized universities. And in the US, there are very few universities larger than 40,000 students at all, let alone those that have EE and/or CS schools of any influence. [Texas A&M is far bigger, but not notable in either field]. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What does this error message mean?
by Basil Chupin 15 May '12

15 May '12

I installed a new 64-bit version of oS 12.1 recently. It is a stock-standard installation except that I have also installed KDE 4.8.2 as well as LibreOffice v3.5.2, and I do all my updates using zypper on a daily basis (if any are available that is). I have the Online Update activated and it checks for new updates on a daily basis. Everyday the Online Update widget shows me that there is an update available and when I run this I get this error message: If you cannot see the above then look here: http://picpaste.com/snapshot1-xCgPnMpz.png As I mentioned, this is occurring every day. But what is causing this error message when the system is kept up-to-date via zypper? I have also use YaST to check if any Packages need updating/upgrading but even this returns advice that nothing is needed to be updated/upgraded. YaST's Dependency Check also shows that no files have dependency problems. Can anyone throw some light on the above error message, please? (Or do I simply turn off the daily Online Update feature?)

[opensuse] How to change printer attributes?
by Thomas Taylor 14 May '12

14 May '12

Hi All, First, thanks to Dirk Gently and upscope for the installation help and the installation automating script. Dirk, the "R" on the end of "SCANLETTE" in the 6th line of the scanner script is missing. I recently obtained an Brother MFC-J6710DW printer and installed the requisite drivers for network use. Works great! The only problem I'm having is trying to print in duplex (two-sided) mode. I haven't been able to find out where to set that attribute. Duplex printing is working from Winblows-7 but not Linux. (screenshots attached) So far I've searched through the ppd file (from Brother), cups 1.5 documentation, and openSuSE documentation but can't find it. I'd appreciate suggestions about where to look or what to do. -- Tom Taylor - retired penguin AMD Phenom II x4 955 -- 4GB RAM -- 2x1.5TB sata2 openSUSE 12.1x86_64 openSUSE 12.2x86_64 KDE 4.7.2, FF 7.0 KDE 4.8.1, FF 10.0 claws-mail 3.8.0 registered linux user 263467 linxt-At-comcast-DoT-net

[opensuse] check device existence on boot
by Istvan Gabor 14 May '12

14 May '12

Hello: My dmraid array occasionally runs only with one hard disk, since one of the disks is not recognized at boot. For this reason I would like the OS to check the existence of both of the hard disks during bootup and if it can't find one of them it should not finsih booting but restart the computer, before mounting the RAID array. I thought that a small script could go somewhere in /etc/init.d but I don't know where and how to name it or activate it. How could I do it? Thanks, Istvan PS: A more detailed explanation for those who are interested: I have a system with BIOS RAID1. Two indentical SATA hard disk are connected to a Silicon Image 3114 (SiI 3114) PCI card RAID controller. This works well with linux dmraid, but: Occasionally (for an unknown reason to me) one of the hard disk is not recognized by the RAID card when the computer is turned on, and opensuse boots up as if the disk was missing. This means that only one of the disks operates during the session as a complete RAID device. With different terms, the OS even does not know that there is a problem with the RAID array, however the array consist of only one disk instead of two. This leads to discrepancy between the disks content and I have to rebuild the array after such an event. On a long term I want to replace the RAID array to either sofware RAID or change the RAID card or motherbord. But in the meantime I would like to fix this issue. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Missing packages in opensuse-12.1
by Josef Wolf 14 May '12

14 May '12

Hello everybody, I have installed opensuse-12.1 and found that some packages are no longer available. Notably, this are lha, keepassx, wxMaxima, grip, pspdftool Those packages were available on the old opensuse installation (11.1 or something). I think they were in the Contrib repository, but this don't seem to be available anymore. Any ideas what happened to those packages and where to get them?

[opensuse] new flash update doesn't work at all
by eddie 14 May '12

14 May '12

I have noted that others have commented on this in one form or another. I guess because I am not sure that this experience is exactly the same as others so I decided to start a new thread. Simply put, on doing the update I can no longer view any video (or hear any audio) from any website using any browser. If I download the files I can both view and hear them using a media player. If I try to run flashplayer from the command line I get the following error message: "WARNING: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING set and it is not UTF-8 Illegal instruction" However, if I revert to an ealier verson, say 11.1 everything works okay. None of the earlier 11.2 versions work. As flash doesn't seem to work in the updates, I do not have the option to change any settings. So I feel I am forced to use one of the earlier buggy versions, unless someone can come up with a suggestion. I am running a 32-bit system and using a radeon 9200 pro graphics card. Opensuse 12.1 KDE 4.7 (have tried 4.8 but have the same and other problems so have reverted to 4.7) Thanks for any suggestions Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
