I am uncertain about the current situation, but I used to write the
.iso image in the past year or so via windows and the suse studio
image writer to an empty usb key stick and then simply boot the system
this way instead of writing the iso image to an empty dvd.
I dont recall exactly where I had this instructions from but it simply
worked. But when I read the wiki pages these days, then it apparently
seems as if this iso image writing directly to the usb key was only
supposed to be for the livesystem iso images, and one needed to use
certain other additional tools like syslinux and something about
hybrid and such stuff I dont fully understand yet.

<http://en.opensuse.org/Live_USB_stick#Bootable_USB_from_DVD_or_Net-install>
I am 100% certain that I tested opensuse 12.1 iso image directly
written to usbkey in a simple unaltered way via the
<https://github.com/downloads/openSUSE/kiwi/ImageWriter.exe>
https://github.com/downloads/openSUSE/kiwi/ImageWriter.exe
But I had trouble doing so with the recent 12.2 iso images.
Has anything changed as of lately how these iso images get built and
constructed by the opensuse developers and backends, or was I just
lucky in the past that it simply worked and now not working any more?
I also browsed through the bugreporting list archives of the recent
months, and there seem a number of odd bugs talking about usb iso
image not fully compatible and readable any more and about
installation or related problems and people also asking in this
direction.
Any have some definitive answers to this? Is it sufficient to write
the .iso image file as raw (sectors) to the usbkey via the suse studio
image writer (suppose its similar as if dd would raw dump it to the
usb key device from within linux).
And whats the whole deal about hybrid, and syslinux and all these
things mentioned in the wiki article that I posted above? I am
somewhat seriously confused.
Thanks for helping. Regards.

Hello,
I am having a hard time making debuginfo packages for an unsupported version of opensuse (11.3).
The appropiate variables seems to be defined but no debug packages are being generated ¿?
# rpm --eval %__debug_install_post --eval %optflags
/usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh "/usr/src/packages/BUILD/"
-O2 -g -m64 -fmessage-length=0 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables
does anyone knows how to create such packages??

I'm using KDE4 and i know about the focus stealing part of systemsettings.
What I don't seem to be able to do is get the right balance between the
Thunderbird stanza and the Firefox stanza
Right now when I'm in Thunderbird and reading mail from, for example,
ZDNet, which has a number of links to articles, as I click on any one
the focus switches to Firefox.
What I *want* is to stay in Thunderbird, click on all the links to
articles of interest and them manually switch focus to Firefox.
I've played with the settings back and forth and don't seem able to get
the right combination.
Can anyone advise?

I assembled a new computer (Intel Core i3)
and installed Linux SuSE 11.4 but...
I can't setup my Canon Pixma iP4700 printer.
The /usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs folder contains
many folders like brother, epson, hp etc. but not a canon.
How can I fix this?
Best regards,

Hi,
I'm using the Gnome version of the 12.2 release candidate, and trying to
run the disk image writer app, with the Orca screen reader providing
spoken feedback for accessibility. After I enter root's password, Orca
does not speak when focus is on this app's window. When I try running
the tool from the Gnome terminal, I get 'cannot connect to x-server'
message, then returned to the terminal. Is there a replacement, such as
unetbootin, I can use?
Thanks,
Dave H.

I screwed up and lost my touchpad setting for my Dell 1545 Laptop. I
have deleted all the files I can find that affects it and reinstalled to
no avail. No matter what I do I cant get the tapping back.
The file I lost is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf.
The reinstallation of libsynaptics gets me a truncated config but no
tapping. I have searched the world, even copied the similar file from
Mint12 and Slackopuppy, but still cant get the tapping back.
I also get an error when I try to use the touchpad apps. The error says
there's no Option SHMConfig = 1 or true. And there is. Another error
says it cant find the driver, but that error was there before I lost the
file.
Can anyone tell me how to get the conf file back?
Regards,
Richard

I append one that (a) has tap to click, and (b) has middle mouse
click by right top corner tap. This is meant to be used _in
addition_ to 50-synaptics.conf installed by openSUSE.
You can see if it has been loaded in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. There
must be lines like
[470846.342] (II) config/udev: Adding input device SynPS/2
Synaptics TouchPad (/dev/input/event3)
[470846.342] (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Applying InputClass
"evdev touchpad catchall"
[470846.342] (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Applying InputClass
"touchpad catchall"
[470846.342] (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Applying InputClass
"touchpad tap to klick"
and then further information about Synaptics configuration.
Use the command "man synaptics" for further explanation of these
options.
If your problem is really with shared memory (SHM), then I can't
help, though.
HTH,
Joachim

Any idea where the keys can be found?

Hello
opensuse 12.1 is not recognizing the video built into the AMD processor
on the HP Pavilion g7-1358dx. It had no problem with my other HP laptop
with a similar CPU/Video config.
The video is
Vendor: "AuthenticAMD"

Thanks
