[opensuse-factory] classpath-webplugin

by Benji Weber

Greetings all, Francis pointed out to me that classpath-webplugin is installed by default on 10.3. This is a) rather pointless as I don't think it actually supports any applets ( I tried a dozen or so sites with java applets ) b) somewhat dangerous as I don't think I'd trust the security in the classpath webplugin. c) prevents the real sun java plugin from working when installed, until the user removes the classpath webplugin as this gets priority in both firefox and konqueror. Can I suggest - Making the sun plugin conflict with the classpath webplugin. - Preferably don't install the classpath version at all, if you're worried about completely free java go for java 7 it would be more reliable than classpath. Also is there any reason we have java 5 default and not java 6? _ Benjamin Weber --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

In this case i did not change a thing. Why should i? It worked, and i never change something that does its job well.. again, that is why i call the firewall inconsistant.. If it is too much trouble to config it right, i shut it off, no big deal..(router is sufficient, and one pc can use DHZ ) - -- Have a nice day, M9. Now, is the only time that exists.

What hardware do you have this problem on? If this is a thinkpad it could be related either to the various problems there currently are with the thinkpad_acpi module or (perhaps even worse) this could be due to the rework of hotkeys-setup (thinkpad-keys). If e.g. also brightness does not work, i'd guess on the thinkpad_acpi problem (e.g. bug #308264). Regarding the hotkeys-setup rework it would be nice if you could try if you get acpi event when pressing any special keys (like brightness up/down, volume and suspend keys). Just view the output of "acpi_listen" while you try this.

[opensuse-factory] Problem reading mixed mode CD

by Birger Kollstrand

Hi list, My wife bought this mixed mode CD. it is a CD which is partially a normal audio CD and partially a normal filesystem CD. We are using KDE desktops. When she inserts it on the 10.3 Beta machine the KDE daemon pop up window shows three choices, open in New Window, Copy CD with K3B, Do Nothing. There is no option to play the music. Is this a known issue ? It is possible to play the files from an audioplayer if that is started manually. A competing OS shows the first pop up with a clear marking that there is both data and audio on the cd. Is that possible to get on KDE also?
