Hi synaptics is no longer available in 42.1. How do we turn off the touchpad to prevent accidentally touching it whilst typing? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE - Plasma 5 - where did the Wacom-setting-module go?
by stakanov＠freenet.de 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

Hello all together. I am in a search of a module that I previously used. In KDE4 there was a neat and useful settings module for wacom. It seems to be gone or it has been renamed. It does not appear in settings. My bamboo is recognized and works. But I was looking for the module that normally appeared in "settings - input devices" for defining buttons etc. . - Is this my blindness (which is of course always possible, so please feel free to guide the blind man) - or is this because it is still not done, - or has it been suppressed? - or a bug? Device is: Wacom Bamboo MTE-450a. In KDE 4 the module appeared when a wacom was found. Thank you. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] USB nic update
by Stevens 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

The ASUS N13 wireless usb nic is what I have been using for some time as it was listed on the compatibility list. Well, maybe they were a bit too enthusiastic about it. My experience has been that it isn't ready for prime time. I have tried these devices on 2 different OS 13.1 puters, one old single core and a newer I5 system. Symptoms are intermittent loss of network connectivity requiring a networking reset. The older hardware would need constant resets, sometimes as often as every few minutes whereas the newer box might run for as much as a day... not often, though. Anyway, it finally got on my last nerve and I bought a pci-e wireless nic, a Startech.com PEX300WN2X2 which was advertised to work well with linux. It does, so far. My reason for using the usb nic was because this box is a mini-itx with only one pci-e expansion slot and I originally thought I would need better-than-mobo graphics. Not. So, if anyone wants to try their luck with wireless usb and linux, I have 2 and take paypal.

[opensuse] 13.2 installation needs ralink.firmware
by Marc Chamberlin 22 Nov '15

22 Nov '15

Hi - I am trying to install the i586 version of opensuse 13.2 on a system and I am getting a complaint that it cannot find the ralink-firmware in order to set up my wireless card. I am given the "helpful" suggestion that I need to get an add-on package first. Any ideas which/where I can find this gem? Thanks in advance...

If I open a folder in a folderview it goes through the motions but never opens. I have to open dolphin to see inside. Is this correct? Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] tb font size
by buhorojo 22 Nov '15

22 Nov '15

Hi 42.1 Thunderbird. How do we make the font bigger? I mean the font that is used to show the inboxes, and menus. Not the message body. It is too small to read. We've tried edit preferences display, but changing the font size and restarting tb is ignored.

[opensuse] leap and the install DVD
by George Olson (SUSE list) 22 Nov '15

22 Nov '15

I haven't upgraded to Leap yet, I am waiting until I get some free time from work. But I have a question. This was part of another thread that I read: > Tumbleweed and Leap both provide reliability in spades (and I really > do disagree with those people suggesting it's going to take a while > for Leap to 'settle' down - it's settled, we wouldn't have released it > if it wasn't ready, and while it isn't perfect, the amount of bugs > reported so far are very low, of limited severity, and they're being > fixed very quickly) My question is, when I download the installation DVD, is it regularly updated to include the bug fixes? Or is the installation DVD never changed from when it was released, and bug fixes only come through doing updates? -- George Box #1: 13.2 | KDE 4.14 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 16GB Box #2: 13.1 | KDE 4.12 | AMD Athlon X3 | 64 | 4GB Laptop #1: 13.1 | KDE 4.12 | Core i7-2620M | 64 | 8GB Laptop #2: 13.2 | KDE 4.14 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3#Licensing.2C_ownership_and_legislation the MP3 patents have expired in Europe and will expire by 2018 in U.S. My proposal is to add the MP3 codecs to the openSUSE distribution. Regards, Martin.Vahi(a)softf1.com
