[opensuse] Running old version
by Christopher Myers 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

I have a quick question for folks who run old versions of oS. I know that there are a lot of folks (myself included) who are running older versions of oS, because they don't really have a reason to upgrade - everything is working properly and has been configured over the course of many months to run smoothly and exactly the way we want/need it to. My question is - how do other folks handle security vulnerabilities like this current bash vulnerability? Since oS isn't releasing patches for 11.4, 12.2, etc. anymore, how do you get around that? Just leave your machines vulnerable? Or compile your own patches? Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

All, Where can I see what is causing Thunderbird to crash. I had no problems with 24.7 on 13.1, now tbird 31.1 has cratered twice in the past 15 minutes. The crash reports are: bp-6005ca7d-fd82-4249-9814-798322140925.txt bp-51874d1e-5b8f-4c83-bc05-05bf62140925.txt How do I stop tbird from crashing? Do I need to downgrade back to 24.7? -- David C.

Yeah - I understand that.

I'm not bound to the vagarcies and schedules of distro package managers... at least not yet, although the distros are fighting hard to lock it all down. > You make a woman's arguments, sound for the sake of sound. Along with the inapropriateness of that comment, the only sound I hear is the sound of my keyboard buttons. Are you blind and using a text reader? That is pretty cool, if so, although the one built into opensuse is very subpar.

[opensuse] printing long file
by jdd 25 Sep '14

25 Sep '14

Hello :-) I have a problem I can't solve myself... I want to print a file, available as svg (inkscape) or (inkscape generated) pdf. this file is 28x75 *cm* (a family tree) I want to print it on landscape mode, on several consecutive paper pages. I can't make any of my software understand this. Most only print the center part of the file, kpdf prints all the file, but shrinked to fit the A4 page (portrait). Any idea? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
