[opensuse] HP Device Manager???
by James Knott 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

I just updated my ThinkPad E520 to 13.1. However, one thing that's appeared on the task bar is an icon for HP Device Manager. Why is that there, when I don't have any HP equipment? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Seemingly superfluous stuff running on 13.1
by Per Jessen 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

I have a desktop machine that I'm carefully trying out 13.1 on - I seem to have a few extra things running: /usr/sbin/ModemManager /usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant This box has no bluetooth, yet a whole slew of bluetooth related software was installed, and even a daemon started. Doesn't YaST/something do a check on the types of hardware present and decides to install/not install the software to support it? I don't mind the extra packages, but I don't like running daemons for no reason. ModemManager ? https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=717130 wpa_supplicant? There is no wifi on this box. I'm not using NetworkManager, but this all seems to suggest something NetworkManager related? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-1.1°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Istvan Gabor 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hello: This question is mainly for gnome/gtk 2 guys. I am using KDE3 but I would like to configure gtk/gnome application's look separately. Which packages do I need? gtk2-engine, gtk2-theme or both? I also see gtk2-metatheme packages. Which type are for what? Another thing: the .gtkrc-2.0 file is where I can set the configure options?

That's ok but since 12.3 is also doing all the things well and is well under the period of support, I guess if I wait for some time, it would be okay. > Grub2 was looking one partition and bootable system was on the I guess Grub1 was much better. It is a bit for typical. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Paul Groves 26 Nov '13

Hi all, Just installed 13.1 and have discovered a few issues with audio. I noticed I get no system sounds (I.e. Notifications, login etc) Also, Skype does not allow me to make any calls and says 'Problem with audio playback' Paul Groves-- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] /etc/SuSE-release is deprecated and will be removed in the future, use /etc/os-release instead
by Per Jessen 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

I just noticed this comment in 13.1 - whoever it is that is deprecating /etc/SuSE-release, please be aware of the many third-party tools that rely on it. At the very least keep /etc/SuSE-release as a symlink to /etc/os-release. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-1.3°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] opensuse-13.1
by CA G Rajesh 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hi All, First, let me confess that I am a distro-hopper (but, I hop between Kubuntu and Opensuse only). Reason for hopping? Please read below - I installed opensuse-13.1 immediately on its release and I am using till for a week. The quality of the packages and its theme are simply astounding. I still love OpenSuse (OS)very much, ever since I started using in 2000 (6.3 then). Main problem I am facing recently is, sharing of printer between three systems. This could have been out of box (I mean, just selecting share connected printers in systemsettings should do). No amount of my tweaking (from googling) helped, even shutting down the firewall or providing static IPs to systems. Here, I cannot help but to resort to Kubuntu, where either everything works out of box or requires minimal/intuitive intervention. Opensuse works fine in my/single system, but once sharing in SOHO comes, I could not handle it. This seems to be the last impediment that prevents me from migrating whole home/office to favorite/lovable opensuse :( Perhaps, Opensuse is intended for mature users (I read somewhere so) but developers/experts may consider doing this favor for non-technical users like us. Thanks for your patient reading. Regards, Rajesh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Email archive solution?
by rm＠crescentconstruction.com 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

openSuse list, I've used openSuse for about 10 years, (currently using 12.3 64 bit.) For most of that time I've used Evolution as my primary email client. I've managed to organize and save a sizable amount of email using the Evolution folder system, but its getting to be a large amount of data (about 10 gigs); and I was wondering if there was a better method to archive the emails. I'm talking about a single email address, so I don't really need a massive enterprise email archive system - just looking for something that can store and search mbox files by date, subject, or sender. I've looked at "Enkive", and "piler" either of which may work, if anyone has any other suggestions it would be appreciated. thanks, Regis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
