-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Benjamin, It's best to reply to the list, so that others with the same problem can benefit from your discovery. I'm glad you solved it - that's another solution to add to my armoury ;-) My Dell laptop needs Broadcom wifi drivers, but I've always found my solution 1 did the trick. On my wife's Dell Vostro, I had to use solution 2. On 22/12/13 11:42, Benjamin wrote: > Thx Bob!

[opensuse] How to customize gtk application's window style in oS 12.2?
by Istvan Gabor 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

Hello: I have openSUSE 12.2 with KDE3 desktop. I would like to customize the look of gtk applications: color, font, background, etc. Earlier I used gnome-control-center for that (where I could also choose themes) but now I can't see any options for managing styles. How to do it? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] /usr/sbin/bluetoothd
by ianseeks 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

HI Does anyone know how this gets started? I've deconfigured it from System Settings/Startup and Shutdown and its not loaded via Yast/System Services Run Level. Mind you "Yast/System Services Run Level" seems to be in a bit of a flakey state on 12.3, i can't select a run level, the drop down to choose 1-5 is blank. regards ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 13.1 GNOME: leftover gnome-shell at 100% CPU after logout
by Andrey Borzenkov 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

Using GNOME with gdm. Quite often (if not every time) after logging out of session and logging back in I observe gnome-shell process that spins at 100% CPU (at least on one core). It is not my current gnome-shell which I can restart without changing anything. Killing this runaway process clears things. Anyone else? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Why do opensuse.org, susepaste.org & opensuse.com require js from so many remote sites?
by David C. Rankin 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

All, Trying to follow links from this list, e.g.: https://lizards.opensuse.org/2013/12/17/announcing-opensuse-education-li-f-… http://susepaste.org/65639042 as well as for community, etc.. I am continually asked to allow remote javascript to run from sites like newrelic.com virtio.cz ohloh.net which try to in various ways insert javascript snippets into Firefox for real user monitoring, etc. See eg.: https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/features/real-user-monitoring While I understand most of this is performance monitoring related, the javascript request for remote sites involved in the login process concern me. Is there no way that this can be done in-house, instead of having 3rd party sites around the world involved? Here is a short list (screenshot) of those recently blocked poking around the suse sites: [32k] http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/img/ss/opensuse/suse.blocked.js.jpg -- David C.

Cool, thanks :) That makes it much easier :) I guess my Googling on the subject wasn't refined enough to find that Wiki page :)) Thanks again! Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Reverse SSH - How?
by John Andersen 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

Friend's college age son wants to access his computer in the dorm when he visits home. College won't allow listening on ports, and they have him behind a NAT. Is it possible to have an outbound (from the dorm) ssh connection "reversed" so that the target (the home computer) is able to control the dorm machine? -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
