The KDE4 packages are the second developer preview of KDE4, aimed at people wanting to develop/port KDE4/Qt4 applications without the hassle of building all the libs and base infrastructure themself, and make no guarantees or sets any expectations. If things are only 'pretty broken' at this stage I'm happy. Unless you want to contribute to kde 4 desktop, I wouldn't run a whole session yet, but run KDE 4 apps on KDE3. ~/.kde is not protected by default, but you can set KDEHOME, KDETMP (default is /tmp/kde-$USER) and KDEVARTMP (default /var/tmp/kde-$USER) elsewhere and run KDE4 apps in parallel with a running KDE3 desktop. When we start including KDE4 on the distro it will be set up to work in parallel like this. kdebase3 should not have been replaced, but we had a spurious Provides: kdebase line in the spec for kdebase 4 which caused the problem, we've removed that now. If CPU cycles aren't tight or you want to stay bleeding edge the script kdesvn-build (in the kdesdk svn module) will fetch and compile qt-copy and the kde4 base platform for you in a nice remote place like /space.

Re: [opensuse] Connecting to Linux from Windows
I use Putty from windows also. Or I run the apache2 server on SuSE to access files on linux from windows. Samba and WebDAV are good ways to write data to linux system from windows, but they are slightly more difficult to set up. Also the a windows filesystem can be accessed from linux by adding an entry to /etc/fstab. Recently I've been emulating windows using qemu. Basically you install windows on a hard drive image created with qemu-img. Then windows is actually running on a Linux host. In fact there are a flood of ways to exchange data between windows and linux. We don't need a deal between corporations to do that.

Even if > postfix is easier, that does not help him. Guess: This because the DNS of the network isn't configured or not configured in the correct way. First of all the system requires a name (normally without any domain name part). Then the system requires for each network a Full Qualified Domain Name (please note that the former name can be part of the FQDN but can also an other host name and can also be different for each network). At last the YP domain name has nothing todo with the DNS domain name even if normally identical for practial reasons. If postfix or sendmail do not know about the FQDN of the networks accessible then it have to be configured. This can be done by using a DNS server of the appropiate network or within the configuration of postfix or sendmail.

Ubuntu basically integrate and freeload what debian, novell, redhat and others produce, without further innovation, and appart of a installer that basically copies a image to the disk and gives you a empty desktop with common applications, there is not more beyond that. Lot of users have enough with it, and that is ok. Once you need to configure stuff (as Daniel Molkentin says very well in his blog) then you realize how basic the distro is. with Novell, Redhat and other distros, you can expect some controversial changes to be done, because there is some risk taken in order to innovate: - 3D desktop was introduced - Desktops with usability changes in mind. - OpenOffice native desktop integration - ZenWorks provides a enterprise level software deployment system, and SLE is ready to be used with that. - zypp patch management. - Xen was introduced in the kernel. - networkmanager. Basically maintained by Redhat and Novell. The kde integration is Novell work. - SUSE is one of the few distros where you can setup strange raids+lvm+etc with a few clicks. - YaST remains the best configuration tool for Linux. Opensource, and supporting 3 user interface backends. - The opensuse build service is one of the most innovative services provided to the community, and it is opensource (launchpad anyone?) The community behind openSUSE is who gives us direction when we innovate and break. 10.2 is a perfect example in how the community gave its feedback to fix as much as possible what we broke in 10.1. There is no valid excuse to not ship a high quality distro. To be honest, I am proud of how broken our factory sometimes is, because it shows how much we want to fix bug #1. just my 2 cents.

Scott Leighton wrote: I think I'm confused again . Just upgraded from 10.0 to 10.1 and am trying to get used to some of the changes that apparently occurred. The new update process has me baffled. The zen-updater icon tells me there are no updates, but when I go to yast2's online update, a ton of patches are listed, some with checkmarks, some without. Which one should I believe? None until you have done the libzypp update via YAST Online Update. I am almost certain you will find mention made of this in the archives by Marcus Meissner. I might be mistaken and confused between 10. and 10.1 but maybe it fixes the problem? My personal view would be to wait until 10.2 and then do a fresh install.

[opensuse] Creating boot CD
Following the instructions in the Manual I created a boot CD on the assumption that it will boot me into my installed system in the same manner that is done from the Installation CD/DVD (but without having to go thru all the rigmarole of selecting the language etc.). Booting the CD only gives me the grub> prompt but I expected to be actually booted into my system -- or am I expecting too much? I suspect that I have incorrectly specified the CD as the device from which to boot. Here is the menu.lst which I included for the iso image - is the reference to the CD correct, please?

Well, I can happily report that, after nearly six hours of use,
including very heavy traffic it hasn't locked up so it seems to Work For
Me[TM] on Factory/i586; YMMV as always.
Now, as for why it's not included in openSUSE, there is a license
question mark. No license (GPL or otherwise) is included in the tarball
and the only clue is line 98 of r1000_n.c that reads:
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
I've asked Realtek the question of the license and received no response.

Catherine, Is there an easy way for me to determine if these are NSS volumes or traditional volumes? I suspect traditional since my notes say the computer had been running Netware 3.12.

NSS requires Open Enterprise Server; you cannot set up NSS volumes on straight SUSE Linux Enterprise Server only. For OES Linux: 1) Make sure that the NSS services are loaded and running. In YaST, click System > Runlevel Editor > Expert Mode. The NSS module should be enabled. If they are not there, you need to go to the Software Install and install them, then enable them. Any changes you make do not take effect until you reboot the server. 2) If NSS services are running, the devices should mount automatically on reboot. 3) Use the Storage role in iManager or use NSSMU to mount and manage the volume.

Maybe you had the binary NVidia drivers installed? Then an update of xorg-x11-drivers-video or the kernel might reinstall the open source driver, which might not support XVideo for your card well enough. If it's radeon or intel, maybe it's a new driver bug :-/ Or a misinstallation (mismatching versions of some packages). You can always circumvene this by using the xshm output plugin (xine -V xshm) - though that will be slower, and scaled images don't look as good at all. > The reason I ask, is because SUSE delivers intentionally broken > multimedia packages, and unless you add the packman repository > to your list of repositories and do an update, you are likely banging > your head against the wall. 1st) This error message does not state that this is due to missing codec support 2nd) Please don't call it broken.

I haven't found the php_interbase module with SUSE at all. That is the one you'd be looking for. I've seen it for Wintendo, but not *nix yet.

For newer driver you probably only have to change this line (hint: change defaultdepth and depth to 24 as well ;) Make also sure that there are no "Option" lines in the "Device" section.

Re: [opensuse] Gimmie my old menus back!
I like the new menu style, but I don't like that I have to wear out my mouse by having to click on all of the sub-menu buttons to navigate further. The old style only required that you hover the mouse over the sub menus to access them. I'm undecided on this new menu thing. It might be good once I get used to it, but the endless clicking _is_ annoying. SUSE isn't the only one using it... the latest release of Sabayon also used the new menu thingy.

Doug McGarrett wrote: I'm not sure any of this thread answers a question of mine, but I may be wrong. Your question seems to be a bit different. What I would like to do is have a transparent path in both directions to exchange files between an XP system and Linux 9.3. I also need concise directions how to set this up in both systems. Drag and drop would be nice, but is not essential. Doug, you can do this in various ways, but using a share on Windows and setting up Samba on the SLP 9.3 machine would do the trick if you need to copy files back and forth with or without a GUI. If you're using Active Directory, then you could even have authentication happen against AD for both. Concise directions on how to set up and configure Samba can be found at www.samba.org, but you may want to check your SLP 9.3 documentation as well since you may be able to configure Samba via YaST. If this is overkill for your needs, then another alternative is to install and configure SSH on your systems. -- Geir A.

Took a bit of getting used to, but after finding out I could resize the menu height, remove and add favourites and generally mess about with the layout I'm starting to really get into the way it works. Takes a bit of getting used to, but it's worth it. Of course, the developers left a choice behind with the right click and choose' Switch to KDE style menu', so surely people aren't going to complain too much? :) Cheers Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm still waiting for the conspiracy theory about the Novell-Microsoft deal and the menu change :) FWIW, I think the new menu is a nice choice to have. It can always be chnged back by 2 mouse clicks.

I'm amazed I've not seen much discussion of this new menu structure yet. Then again I'm equally guilty as I've kept quiet. Yes, I too don't care for it. I think that the SUSE team did a great job on restructuring the Gnome menu for SLED10 (and now in 10.2) but the implementation in KDE leaves much to be desired. For one thing on a slow graphics card (which, due to ATI's fglrx driver not yet recognizing Xorg 7.2 currently describes mine) the new menu is horrible to watch slowly panning back and forth in a rather cramped area (yeah I know, you can resize it). I find the Gnome implementation nice because, when I'm going to the menu to find something, all my attention is devoted to the task of finding that thing. So filling the screen with a large menu and then quickly drawing my attention to subareas (either by incremental search or categories) makes a lot of sense and helps me locate whatever I'm looking for. The new KDE menu on the other hand makes me scroll back and forth in a small area, divides things into tabs which I cannot modify nor add to (first thing I tried was RMB'ing to see the "add new tab" menu, which was not there), and in general leaves me feeling frustrated. I switched it back to the old style (RMB on the start to see the option). - Bruce -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
