[opensuse] best/correct way to copy an NTFS filesystem?
by Per Jessen 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

I'm helping my neighbour fix his PC, and I want to backup the disk(s) before I re-image it. I've been away from Windows for so long that I forget - is it sufficient to simply rsync everything from NTFS to my backup disk (which won't be using NTFS)? Many thanks in advance. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.0°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Printer installation issues (Xerox Phaser 6128)
by Davi C. Rodrigues 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

I am trying to install the printer Xerox Phaser 6128MFP. I'm using opensuse 12.2, 64 bits. First I tried from the usb, but it was not detected in neither yast or lsusb. Then I tried to install it from the internet cable. I downloaded the drivers from Xerox and connected the printer to my router. Yast could detect it and pointed to the correct driver. Nevertheless for some reason I cannot print a test page (or any other thing). I click the button to print the test, ask for the 1 page test, but nothing happens. After diverse tries, I am asking for help from you. Below I am sending all the entries in the log file /var/log/cups/error_log that are related to this xerox printer.

[opensuse] Attn Perl programmers working on Suse boxes: Where did YaST put fastCGI?
by Ted Byers 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Last night, I used YaST to install FastCGI (on OpenSuse 12.1). I do have Apache's httpd server installed and running (it works fine), but I can not find the files I need to edit in order to begin experimenting with programming Perl scripts to run as FastCGI processes (in contrast to one of my other Linux virtual boxes running Ubuntu - on Ubuntu I easily found the module's configuration file). YaST tells me that FastCGI is now installed, but what next? Where will I find the configuration file that will let Apache's httpd server load the relevant shared module file and have fastcgi-script be set as the handler for a directory in which I will place all the scripts I want to run using FastCGI? And obviously, Apache's configuration file must be edited so that it knows where to find the FastCGI module. If my questions are answered in a current document somewhere, I'd appreciate a link as my search using Google has an abysmal signal to noise ratio. :-( I know I can, and have, set up mod_perl, but I want to run tests to compare the two.

[opensuse] Can I play blu discs in openSUSE
by michael norman 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

One of the two boxes I have here has a blu ray drive. the box double boots 12.2 64 bit and windows 7 64 bit. it is basically my son's box for gaming and multimedia. Amongst other things he uses w7 to play blu ray discs. His and my preferred media player is vlc but on w7 he has to use a propritary player to play blu rays. So my question is : Is there a way to play blu rays in linux preferably in vlc but doesnt have to be I have mplayer and kaffeine available, and as an aside accepting this is not a windows forum can vlc be made to play blu rays in vlc ? I'm running os 12 2 64 bit kde4 9 4. TIA Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi all, Have a look at http://www.nuodb.com Maybe with the 'same' colour green, opensuse might include it in a future release? I have no relation to the company, just spreading the word.

[opensuse] Reasons to upgrade + KMail2 Question
by Rodney Baker 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hi folks. Two questions for the group: 1. My main desktop machine is still running OS 11.4/KDE4.6.5/kernel 3.1.0 and is stable and fast. Apart from ongoing support, are there any COMPELLING reasons (features/usability/speed) that I should think about upgrading to 12.2/12.3? (I never upgrade to .0 or .1 releases since there almost always seem to be bugs still being worked out in those releases). 2. Re KMail2, when I first tried it (when it was still in RC phase, I think, and then again after its first release) it no longer sorted the "special folders" first in the folder list (i.e. Inbox, Sent, Trash, Drafts first, then the other folders in alpahbetical order) but instead sorted ALL folders in alphabetical order (at least, when using IMAP which is what I run at home); previously KMail sorted the folder list with the "special" folders first (which I find much more usable). Has this been fixed, or made configurable, or is it still sorting the folders the "broken" way (IMHO)? Any other "improvements" over KMail 1 (IMAP functionality is of particular importance)? The "brokenness" of KMail 2 (compared to KMail 1.13x ) is one thing that stopped me upgrading KDE past 4.6.x. That and the need to delete KDE4's settings folder and recreate my desktop layout from scratch every time (to stop Plasma crashing) every time there was a major point release (e.g. 4.3 -> 4.4, 4.4 -> 4.5, 4.5 -> 4.6). Thanks in advance for the feedback. -- ========================================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker(a)iinet.net.au ========================================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox "open with Package Installer" failure
by Marco Calistri 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hi openSUSErs, Would like to know if somebody else is facing same problem as me attempting to install a rpm package from Firefox. For example, trying to install a new version of VirtualBox by clicking on the rpm link, opens correctly Package Installer but the process fails to an error message stating that process has been interrupted by the user. Anybody have same issue? I am using openSUSE 12.2.

[opensuse] watermarks when printing with cups ?
by Per Jessen 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

I'm experimenting with adding a watermark/letterhead to a cups printing queue. I've seen a couple of suggestions on the net, the most promising ones by way of a cups filter and some postscript trickery. My problem is right now that the printjobs are sent as PJL, which ps2pdf, pdftk etc. cannot or will not deal with. My situation is essentially - I have a letterhead document (in odt, pdf or ps format) that I would like to add to every page printed in a dedicated cups queue. I don't want to fiddle with the *office setup on any individual PC, I want this to happen transparently. Any suggestions? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
