[opensuse] 12.1 install: activated swap needed for installation
by Istvan Gabor 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Hello: I started to install openSUSE 12.1 from a gnome live CD. The installation started as usual but when I tied to make the partitions and set mount points (in expert partitioning mode as I usually do) I could not change one of the swap mounting. The following message was shown when I tried to edit the given partition: "Device /dev/sda5 cannot be modified because it contains activated swap that is needed to run the installation." I had to abort installation as I don't want the installer to touch that hard disk at all. I find it very strange that the installer tries to modify any part of any disks without the permission of the user. 1. How can I prevent using that swap by the installer? 2. I find this behavior a serious fault of the installer. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to download openSUSE 12.1 throught `wget -c`?

Greetings, http://software.opensuse.org/121/en Usually I right click and open the download link in a new tab, and copy the url on the command line with `wget -c`. In this case I just can't right click on the download button!

[opensuse] multiple NFS servers
by lynn 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

Hi Let's say the nfs server has crashed. I have a backup on another machine in the same Kerberos realm. What's the quickest way I can get the LAN back up? Anyone done it by substituting another box? Are we talking minutes, hours. . .? I'm not sure, but to have redundant kerberized nfs servers: is that what a cluster does?

[opensuse] Plasma Active availability on openSUSE
by Bogdan Cristea 25 Jun '12

25 Jun '12

Hi I have just installed PA from balsam distro (which is based on openSUSE) on my ExoPC tablet: http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Installation#Balsam_Professional_liv… I am very happy to see that I can have my favorite distro on a tablet and PA seems to be mature enough to be used on tablets. I am wondering when openSUSE will support PA ? It would be also a great way to encourage open-source developers to start developing applications for touch screens and PA. thanks -- Bogdan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE activities + task-manager
by madworm_de.opensuse＠spitzenpfeil.org 25 Jun '12

25 Jun '12

Is it normal that non-KDE applications (firefox, thunderbird, acroread...) tend to show up in the task-manager no matter on which activity they were started and with 'only show tasks from current activity' enabled? I find this quite strange. Sometimes I manage to move one application to just one activity (window settings --> activities ...), but it doesn't last for long. It seems to work as expected with native KDE apps. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
