[opensuse] Need help with 'focus stealing'
by Anton Aylward 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

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? -- We are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it. --Thomas Jefferson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

by fir delplancke 27 Jul '12

27 Jul '12

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?

[opensuse] Opensuse Imagewriter in Gnome version of 12.2 rc inaccessible
by Dave Hunt 27 Jul '12

27 Jul '12

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. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Need template for touchpad settings on 11.4
by Richard 27 Jul '12

27 Jul '12

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 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

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.

[opensuse] oS 12.1 does not shutdown from session/vt 8
by Istvan Gabor 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hello: I have openSUSE 12.1 with KDE 3.5.10. systemd is used. The system does not shutdown if a user from a desktop/session/vt > 7 tries to turn of the machine. Turning off the system from vt 7 works OK. An example: user1 logs in to session/vt 7 (default) then switch user > start new session starts a new session (vt 8) user2 logs in to the new session vt8 in the meantime user1 logs out from vt7 user2 tries turn off the computer when logs out from vt8 the system does not turns off If ctrl+Alt1+F1 or Alt+F1 is pressed the shutdown process completes. Is this a know behavior? A bug? Can someone confirm it? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] S/MIME certificates in kmail2
by Stefan Gofferje 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hi, I got myself a couple of certificates from Comodo. In Thunderbird, everything works fine. When I try to use the certificates in kmail2, it doesn't work. What I do is: Go to Settings -> Configure Kmail -> Identities. Select the identity, then choose Cryptography. Then click Change on S/MIME certificate. In the window it shows the right certificate based on the email address with a key with question-mark icon. When I click on it, nothing really happens except that the key with question-mark becomes a key with a red X. No error message, no info, no nothing. Kleopatra didn't/doesn't complain about the cert now/when I imported it. Again, the same cert works flawlessly for the same email address in Thunderbird. Any ideas anyone? --S -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje | SCLT, MCP, CCSA //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | VCP #2263 V_/_ Heckler & Koch - the original point and click interface -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
