[opensuse-web] help forum no help getting printer to print
by Felix Miata 06 Oct '11

After seeing "unable to open listen socket for address ::1:631 - Address family not supported by protocol" in /var/log/cups/error_log, Google told me goto http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-log… and http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:GDI_Printers to figure out why I can't print with my Canon GDI, but instead of help I just see the incompetent results of incompetent site styles: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/opensuseforumsmess01.jpg Can someone please fix the openSUSE web sites to use browser defaults instead of mousetype so that this kind of mess doesn't keep happening? I've been trying off & on in 11.4 & 12.1 since last winter to make my IP printer work, but it refuses to print except for the YaST2 test page, or PDFs from Okular. All other apps tried, and this is on multiple puters, fail to even wake up the printer, much less print. Until the last driver update, the printer would wake up, but display an error instead of printing. Apps tried are mostly various Gwenview, Firefox, SeaMonkey & Konqueror versions. Months ago I filed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683476 and later http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3916 in hopes of eventually being able to print in something newer than 11.2. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Cups/gx280/121/ contains logs from today's attempts on one machine with 12.1B1. I opened the printer's IP in Konqueror, but nothing there seems able to help with this. IPV6 is disabled in YaST, and cmdline includes ipv6.disable=1. /etc/hosts includes 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost. How do I get my printer to print from apps other than Okular in 11.4 and/or 12.1? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-web] berlios shutdown - move to gitorious
by Thomas Schmidt 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

As Berlios.de will be shutting down all services at the end of the year, we need to move out our infrastructure and translation repositories from there. I went through the infrastructure projects, and migrated the active ones to gitorious: www.opensuse.org frontpage: git@gitorious.org:opensuse/www_opensuse_org.git wiki: git@gitorious.org:opensuse/wiki_opensuse_org.git shop.opensuse.org: git@gitorious.org:opensuse/shop_opensuse_org.git party: git@gitorious.org:opensuse/party_o_o.git news.opensuse.org: git@gitorious.org:opensuse/news_o_o.git lizards.opensuse.org: git@gitorious.org:opensuse/lizards_o_o.git help.opensuse.org: git@gitorious.org:opensuse/help_o_o.git apparmor.opensuse.org: git@gitorious.org:opensuse/apparmor_o_o.git There are some folders where I'm not sure if they are in use, and where the owners would like to put them: license.o.o download.o.o documentation/ tools/ Greetings! -- Thomas Schmidt (tom [at] opensuse.org) openSUSE Boosters Team "Don't Panic", Douglas Adams (11.03.1952 - 11.05.2001) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-web] Time to fix opensuse.org landing page
by Rajko M. 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Time to fix link conference announce image. User noticed that link on http://www.opensuse.org/en/ is still pointing to http://conference.opensuse.org/ . BTW, we are short distance from new release and text on http://www.opensuse.org/en/ still has section: openSUSE 11.4 - A New Hallmark For The openSUSE Project Users Directory points to the http://users.opensuse.org/ . The redirection to https://connect.opensuse.org/ is meant for other web pages and links in the corners of our web space. There is no link where users can provide feedback. Good willing users will post message somewhere on the web, hoping that it will find the way to right persons, which will appear in google results without answer and give another notion that openSUSE doesn't care. It seems that moving openSUSE landing page from wiki, or wiki like server, was not all that good idea, after all. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-web+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-web] forums: scrolling for code output
by Felix Miata 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/opensuseforumscroll01.png shows the problem I'd like to see fixed. Setting a minimum font size to enforce legible text is the immediate cause of the scroller, but the page can and should be restyled so this doesn't happen. Better yet, respect visitors by making the text big enough it the first place, so that the minimum size needn't be put into play. e.g. s/body{font:13px/1.231 arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif;*font-size:small;*font:x-small}/body{font:100%/1.231 arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif;*font-size:medium;*font:medium}/ in main-rollup.css. Also, leave the newlines that are in the source in the files actually used by the pages, so that hunting down this kind of trouble's root isn't so difficult. The compaction offered by stripping them pales in comparison to the absurd weight of the css files overall, totalling over 150kbytes on the page I was looking at: http://forums.opensuse.org/forums/english/get-technical-help-here/install-b… -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

At least 4 hours it's been unreachable. Is this expected downtime? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-web] open build service web-page
by Henne Vogelsang 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hey, as some of you might already have heard the build service folks are going to rename the openSUSE Build Service to Open Build Service (OBS) to gain some traction in the wider FOSS community. So de-couple the OBS a bit from openSUSE branding and messaging wise. Currently Adrian has some web-page draft based loosely on bento but we all agree that we should also use something else to distinguish the OBS visually, not only in the name. So this is your chance to do something and leave your impression on one of our high value sub-projects! We're looking for simple product page for the OBS. Content is already there and is still being a bit refined by the marketing team so the only thing we're missing is form. So get out your CSS/HTML editor and take charge of openbuildservice.org and make it awesome! Preliminary stuff is on gitorious[1] and we would like to deploy it from there. http://gitorious.org/opensuse/open-build-service_org Oh and remember to have a lot of Fun doing it ;) Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

[opensuse-web] incomplete tumbleweed instructions
by Felix Miata 03 May '11

03 May '11

picture worth many words: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/opensusedotorg-too-narrow.jpg IOW, rhetorically speaking, what URL goes in the repo file? I just copy a copy of http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed/standard/ope… from my network server to whatever 11.4 installation needs Tumbleweed added. But, what about new people not fully knowledgeable about overcoming dumb web page design? Why do web page designers insist on arbitrary widths that can't hold their content, and don't allow overflow to be accessible? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
