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. It's html, but that's not a big burden to me. jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Invalid signature
by Joseph Loo 28 Aug '14

I have been trying to use the Kernel stable release for the last couple of days. It seems that I am having a problem with grub. It keeps coming up saying the linux kernel image has an invalid signature. I am running uefi, MSI mini-itx motherboard with AM1 processor: athlon 5350. -- Joseph Loo jloo(a)acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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

[opensuse] apache access_compat error with directive satisfy
by Administrator Beckspaced.com 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

hello there, using the latest opensuse 13.1 with all patches applied. running apache2-2.4.6-6.27.1 and error log reports the following: [Wed Aug 27 15:24:36.380408 2014] [access_compat:error] [pid 27254] [client 84.149.95.211:53003] AH01797: client denied by server configuration: /srv/www/webdev/httpdocs/ strange thing is ... though apache reports that the client access is denied i can indeed access the site. i looked a bit deeper into the error message and then realized that it has something to do with the satisfy any/all directive i use the following setup in my .htaccess file: ========== Order allow,deny Allow from 12.23.122.10 Allow from 34.19.32.213 AuthName "Protected Area" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /srv/.htpasswd Require user demo Satisfy any ========== so i basically use host-level access and user authentication and with satisfy any i can grant access but like said before, access_compat reports an error but i can access the site without any problems! if i only use host-level access then access_compat doesn't report an error if i only use user authentication then access_compat also doesn't report an error it only happens when using both with satisfy any though all works fine it doens't look good as i always have errors in the error log what should i do? is there a work-around? or should i file a bug report? and if yes, where can i do that? thanks & all the best becki -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] opensuse and disable postifix suseconfig
by josef Karliak 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hi there, when I added IPv6 in the yast2 lan, Suseconfig destroyed all my postfix configuration (main.cf and master.cf). As I can see, it was replaced by the /etc/sysconfig/postfix . Why it is like that ? Is there any reason to do it ? This "issue" is on opensuse 12.3 and opensuse 13.1. I understand, that it is necessary to restart postfix after "changing" networking and I understand that SUSEconfig should restart postfix, bud using some damned defaults when postfix is configured ? Any ideas or explains? Thanks and best regards J.Karliak. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
