[opensuse] Re: [opensuse-factory] wicked wicked

Intentional top post. This thread is using wicd and wicked interchangeably. They are totally different packages. Wicked is brand new and not even in the 13.1 release I don't think. Wicked is in obs and is expected to be a major new feature in 13.2. It will be the default network manager for the next SLES (fall 2014) and was developed internally by suse.

The default was 8, normal, which I suppose only the Always here for virgin user Konsole defaults to misc-fixed 9 unless I first raise desktop fonts in systemsettings from 9 to 10, in which case Konsole starts at misc-fixed 10. I normally change to monospace from misc-fixed, but there is a new (Ghostscript "Monospace") bug that makes line spacing excessive if that choice is make, so I have to choose a specific font family. > young and healthy (I am neither) have a hope of being able to read. > I am still struggling to learn the Linux way of doing things, but I thought > this sort of thing was handled through something like a configuration file > (like .bashrc, for bash - BTW, I can't find the copy of that file for the > user 'root', and want to add a couple aliases to it), or is that a false > impression due to the limited range of applications I have examined?

I don't want to change grub, since that would affect all users. I'd like to just have a note in the release notes for the DVD that if the font size is too small, they can adjust it via ....

Hi, I have VirtualBox on my notebook (running openSUSE 13.1) hosting for testing purposes openSUSE 13.1 server. I wonder how to configure network VB's and hosted's OS networking to be able to access server services from hosting computer. All my trials failed: I lost network on server and I can't connect it. I don't need to access hosted system from outer network. Any advice?
