[opensuse] Just installed 11.1 wow, weird
I have two complaints.. There is something peculiar w/ Firefox... as in it can't see ANY website... and , oddly that doesn't effect Konqui which is busily getting me to the Novell Website, tho it doesn't recognize the login info, not even as cut n paste from the email I got from Novell seconds before. Even odder, to me anyway, is the problem I have attempting ANY add repositories or refresh from the ones I got at the end of the install... ie ones the installation system pushed to me. The main part of that problem is the sysems' refusal to see, or even accept the DVD is in the drive ! ( Msg complaining there is no disk in drive, w/ choices" skip abort or retry..." I retry... beep ( I think that means NO in computer) After15 minutes of that I tell it to skip. So, w/ only the option to skip the refresh, I finally choose skip. And then of course , it won't let me, for instance, install more software packages... Of a more ( I hope) minor difficulty is the sound it keeps randomply disappearing. Which is certainly a worry as it comes back always at full throttle! I like the way things are working out when they work tho.. I will even forgive the ghastly neon green background and splash screen. Because someone gave me a useful manual, as far as it goes. and once again TWO stickers! Now if I can just get the other little problems resolved... I'll only be looking for xmms.. uhm... guys? You do still have xmms in the distro, right? I'm going to go get some ice cream now, and come back when My headache improves.. j -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sounds like an unconfigured NIC to me. Is it possible that what Konqueror is showing you is from its cache, and not the real website? Have you checked your network device settings in YaST? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well,the only evidence Konqueror worked is; it could find web sites it hadn't ever been to. Esp as this was a "clean install" . And then there is Kmail which obviously works since I'm able to send this . And my network actually still works. I'm astounded, I hadn't reinstalled my settings for so long I was certain I'd miss some. ( I'd also forgotton how annoying the nagging is in kmail.. since I'd decided this time not to use the kwallet app. ) Had my partner come in and check all the network settings , and he can't find any that are different from his. And we can both surf via Konqui, his FIrefox works, but he doesn't have FF3+ I'm using KDE3.5.10 -- j -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Open yast go to network settings and disable ipv6. If that does the job you may have the same bug I have Bug 463015 Please if that is the case add your case to the bug report. -=terry(Denver)=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, You area going to get the gold star tonight! It appears, on first blush I do have that same bug. And as far as the Firefox problem goes, it sure seems to have fixed it.. I'll do some testing tomorrow after I sleep a bit and see if it is the same for the other problem. ( not realizing there is, or worse are, dvds ( proper ones as well, Created by the lovely and talented folks at Novell !!) in the drive and hence allowing an online update. I shall add to your bugreport if it is... Thanks I can sleep much happier for my full 3-5 tonight. -- j -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
