[opensuse] Strangest SUSE conversion ever :)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 My little brother switched to OpenSUSE today! Reasons: * Didn't have to plop out alot of money on Microsoft Office (and OOo looks ugly in XP) * His iPod just works.. iTunes crashes all the time on his PC * His digital camera just works * Printer sharing? Alot more reliable This is on an older Dimension 2400 that came stock with Windows XP, converted to SUSE Linux 10.1 w/ GNOME. Gotta say, if people just use it once, they are amazed at how much better it is (and not just morally and ethically) :) - --Justin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFIeTVVNg2nHvclOMRAj5SAJ9jyXOSscFpnNGo/CZGtXZcXH7/MACePpnT wbODZsZb/GJj9WUj+NYoXPc= =H9UG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
His camera worked? Been meaning to ask- I have 10.1 running on an older laptop (PIII/600) and the camera doesn't register when I plug it in. I know the usb connection works, since 10.1 sees the usb thumb drive when I plug it in. I take it, there must be a tweek that I overlooked.... John Justin Haygood wrote:

If you use the camera as a mass-storage device, it should work out of the box, like any pendrive or USB hard drive. El Martes, 3 de Octubre de 2006 06:45, John escribió:

I've got a Kodak c360 and it doesn't work on suse 10.1 at all(not even plugging it as a mass-storage drive...). Previosly I had a HP that worked fine with digicam. Also I've got recently a HP multifuntion printer 2575 and it works but not as feature richless than on XP. And of course on suse sometimes suse fails to print. |---------+------------------------------------------------------------------------> | | | | | Víctor Fernández | | | <vfernandez@polinux.upv.es> | | | | | | 03/10/2006 07:11 | |---------+------------------------------------------------------------------------>

You've got other problems there - one thing I've not seen in 12 years of using linux, is for linux to fail to print.

Well maybe I'd better say KDE fails to let me print. Maybe linux can do it but I've never tried hard to learnt to do it by using commands. I needed to print quickly and decided to unplug the printer's USB cable and plug in on a XP PC. Later on I forgot to resume investigating why it stopped working. Maybe a reboot did it fine :) but could'nt really know what was the problem. |---------+------------------------------------------------------------------------> | | | | | J Sloan <joe@tmsusa.com> | | | | | | 03/10/2006 09:56 | |---------+------------------------------------------------------------------------>

Linux may be not, but CUPS, often. Not even the supported printers do print all the time. For example there was a parallel port problem with previous suse distros (when printer was switched off then on again) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

So, maybe I'm just lucky to have access to good hardware then. All the corporate environments I've worked in during the past decade tend to have PS printers which are network attached, so that's no surprise, but even my home printers have just worked - again, maybe I'm just lucky that I buy hardware worthy of linux ;) Now, I can imagine a scenario where you've done a kernel upgrade via yast, perhaps unknowingly, and in order to print something the system must load a module, which is no longer on the disk since the old kernel and all its modules have been removed. That can and does cause odd problems of the sort described - but the answer there is to only upgrade the kernel on purpose, at a convenient time of your choosing.

In that case: Please open a bugreport and append the information given in the dmesg output when you plug-in the camera. It might be just adding some IDs at one place - and then I'd like to see this fixed for 10.2, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
