The "focus" was then directed to that window and left the others alone. There was no further magic done on my part. P.S.

[opensuse] how to make thunderbird use same sub-account when answering?
by Daniel Bauer 22 May '14

22 May '14

Hi, I have many e-mail-addresses which in fact only serve to organize a bit. For example this "linux@" is the address I use for linux-lists, but in fact it's just an alias for my main address. When I want to answer to a message received on such a "sub-address", thunderbird puts my main-address as the sender. This is of course more than stupid. It happens all the time that I send a reply with the wrong sender-address (for example to this list - and then get it back because of unregistered email and have to send it again, which in thunderbird is a task of many clicks...) Is there a way to make thunderbird a little bit more intelligent, so that it always puts the receiver-address as sender when answering? I am grateful for any hints!

[opensuse] Can't add 2nd DHCP range
by James Knott 22 May '14

22 May '14

I'm trying to add a second DHCP range for a a subnet on a VLAN. However, when I try to save the configuration, I get an error "Error occurred while restarting the DHCP daemon". I have rechecked the configuration for that 2nd range and I don't see any problems. How can I find out what the problem is? Dmsg doesn't show anything and there doesn't appear to be anything relevant in /var/log. I'm running openSUSE 13.1. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I had the idea that the title of the manual page was needed, even though it said clearly all lower-case. Cleared the "enable" box and all is now well. Also tried for the first time <alt>-<F2>. Very nice! It gave a whole list of kwallet-related items including the manager.

[opensuse] migrating 12.3 etc. to SSD
by Carl Hartung 22 May '14

22 May '14

Hi All, Is there anything special I should know about migrating my daily 'workhorse' openSUSE 12.3 installation over to an SSD, such as any filesystem(s) to use or avoid? Procedural tips & tricks or common 'gotchas'? I'm otherwise extremely good at moving installations around (drive to drive, partition to partition) but this is my first SSD. The situation is further somewhat complicated by the need to combine three separately installed OS's (on two drives) onto this one SSD, including one previously dormant but recently resurrected Windows Vista Home Premium (now a work requirement.) In case it matters, the SSD is a Samsung MZ-7PD512BW. Any and all links, comments & feedback will be welcome. TIA & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kdewallet troubles
by j.e.perry＠cox.net 21 May '14

21 May '14

Mozilla's recent kneeling down before the gay hatemongers has pressed me to abandon my long dependence upon Firefox and Thunderbird. I've long used Konqueror as my primary file manager, so extending it to web use has been no problem; and advice from friends has induced me to try Kontact for email. Unfortunately, I somehow got Kontact wrapped up in kdewallet, and now can't seem to get out of it. If I ever knew, I don't now know kwallet's password, and looking into the kwallet manual told me I could open kwalletmanager and maybe do something to recover. It won't open at all. I click on the icon in the application launcher, and nothing happens. I type "KWalletManager & in a terminal, and get "command nt found". But when I try to do anything at all in Kontact, I get a wallet popup demanding the kwallet password. I tried deleting the email account, but now can't create the replacement. Anything I can do short of reinstalling 13.1? john perry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Flash player problem
by Thomas Taylor 21 May '14

21 May '14

I'm having a problem displaying flash files. In Firefox (27.0.1) when I attempt to display a flash file it displays a message that I need to install flash player. The problem is that flash player IS installed. I recall seeing some messages recently on this list or the factory list regarding this problem but have not been able to find it again. The solution was to remove some internal flash files for Firefox. Those files were either in /usr or /var and had an extension of *.stw (?) but haven't been able to find those either. It would be appreciated if someone could either supply the file-names & location or point me to that message thread.
