[opensuse] another okular question: moving "pages" into to toolbar
by Istvan Gabor 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

I have another ocular question. In okular 4 horizontal areas occupies space out of the document window: the window title bar, the menu bar, the toolbar, and the page bar. This last one only shows the page numbers and the forward/bakward buttons. This part wasts a lot of space which would be used better for the document. I would like to move this into the toolbar. In other terms I want the pages information to be shown in the toolbar, where there is plenty of empty space, and use the space of the page bar for the document. I found how to disable page bar, but could not find how to move it to the toolbar. Please don't say it is not possible.

I've been using Gutenberg since the early 90's, when they distributed only plain ASCII text and refused to accept anything else. I was glad when Professor Hart finally recognized the advantages of html. Of course, he's gone now, and even before he died, others were working with him. And, as you point out, they accept and distribute several formats now. > For html you do not need an epub viewer.

I'd had the impression it was some proprietary thing and was surprised to see it on Gutenberg. I didn't know LibreOffice dealt with epub. I'll have to check your idea out. > Can you give a link to the particular book on Guttemberg? http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/31100 But, as I said, it's of no great importance to me. I was checking out epub, which seems to be becoming more popular, and found that I couldn't access linked sites. In particular, I couldn't even make the internal links work. > Open with LibreOffice works perfect, too. And you can easily reformat it > (font, page size, etc). Hmm, that's quite interesting. I'll have to work more with LO. I've only used it to write documents and open MS office documents. For html, I use and like kate. Did the WotW epub follow the html links when you viewed it in LO? The Complete Austen (Gutenberg 31100) has a master volume that links to the individual volumes and their chapters. That's what I couldn't get to work. The html version works just fine, of course, once you find the actual master ToC (not obvious at all). jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] navit + gtk GUI on openSUSE 13.1: gtk_gui_poi undefined
by Roger Oberholtzer 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

On openSUSE 13.1, I am trying to run the current Navit from obs://build.opensuse.org/Application:Geo When the app starts, it complains as follows: navit:plugin_load:can't load '/usr/lib/navit/gui/libgui_gtk.so', Error '/usr/lib/navit/gui/libgui_gtk.so: undefined symbol: gtk_gui_poi' I think this function is part of Navit and not part of GTK, as Google only returns Navit hits for a search on that key. Anyone else using Navit with the GTK GUI on openSUSE 13.1? The same version of Navit from the same place runs fine on openSUSE 12.3. Both the 12.3 and the 13.1 system are up-to-date. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

But I looked at Gutenberg again and downloaded the .zip.

[opensuse] file delete problem
by Mark Ballard 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

64Gb HD flash drive 3 x size of internal HD partition used to run o/s. Attempt to delete files on flash causes error: trash full. Workaround: delete files a bit at a time, emptying trash as you go. This is a little silly. But it also crashed. This worked okay until I tried to delete a larger folder. It jammed the whole thing. Trash now won't empty. The process emptying runs but makes no progress. When trash failed to empty the first time, I tried it again. And again. Now there's a list of processes that drop down when you click on a progress wheel that appears in the task bar. But the progress indicators are too wide for the drop down. You see a play/pause button and just a hint of a 'delete process' button off the right-hand edge of the drop-down window. I know this because I saw this drop down shortly before, and the delete was visible. The upshot is I have all these trash processes trying to run and all I can do is pause them. I presume I shall have to reset the machine. Not a great start, really. What with failed gnome install, kwallet confusion, network fail and now I can't even work offline without the o/s going kaput. I had hoped to get some things done this afternoon. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
