[opensuse-factory] From factory to 10.3
Hi, all. As 32bit Factory is actually working so fine for me, I'm thinking about to turn it my new production server. Could be right enough to switch to stable on-line repos when available or do you recommend me a 10.3 clean install instead? Thanks.

Joe It is likely that they are using only Word and Excel? I believe both of those work well under Codeweavers emulators. In which case your other associates would actually run Linux except when editing a *.doc or *.xls file in which case a native copy of Word or Excel would kick in and seamlessly allow them to use that program while you and the others use Open Office which is compatable with the documents they produce. Now, if you have some reason to *need* an XP machine (which is really a single user machine with multiple accounts on it, meaning multiple users, one at a time) a great solution is VMWare, which is a machine emulator that runs under Linux that pretends to be a computer that can run almost any guest OS, including XP...PERFECTLY. VMWare will run XP, 2000, Vista, other versions of Linux or even DOS ... all at the same time and on the same machine, provided of course you have enough memory and horsepower available, but I routinely run 10.2 SuSE and load up XP for those very few occasions where there is not yet an available substitute written to run under Linux. In that case, and without rebooting, I just launch VMWare which gives me a virtual machine running real XP which then can run whatever XP would normally run...including all of XP's viruses :) (of course, Linux keeps them contained inside of the virtual machine and won't let them contaminate the rest of the environment). The virtual machine can communicate with the external Linux network with Samba, FTP, or SSH if you wish. The virtual machine is available to any of your other office mates from their machines without having to get up and go over to the XP machine to use it. There is a free version available that allows one user at a time to access the virtual machine (just like a real hardware machine), but for a nominal charge, you can have multiple users all accessing the virtual machine simultaneously which is unlike the real XP which costs big bucks for such a license. So, Lynn, you have a lot of options and Linux forms the basis even if for some jobs you still need or want XP. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [opensuse] legalities
tricks, wouldn't they? Seems to me they should be given the opportunity sooner, rather than later, while you still have options. Once a real failure occurs, you lose data, have no time to learn new methods and 'where the right places' are for the menus and such becomes I find the most successful is to sneak it up on them. Start with weaning them off of IE and onto Opera or Firefox. Then slowly introduce them to OpenOffice. The OpenOffice thing is going well, especially since Office2007 is so different, and OOo2.3 is so much faster to load, and looks a lot like OfficeXP. From there just find X-platform apps for them to use and get used to.. then one day... they will find themselves working in Linux :-) C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Every machine is good in a store, but with software accessories like firewall, antivirus, antispam, and few other programs, that one adds at home, it is no more good. The malware scanners need more and more time to scan new bigger hard drives, which takes more and more CPU time. OS that doesn't require such add-ons is big advantage for computer users. More CPU cycles is left for usefull work, so 'junk machine' using other OS is good machine under Linux, just because there is no need to keep 'patch' programs running all the time. The antivirus etc, is not alone at fault for CPU being busy with basic OS tasks, instead to run user application. More device drivers are actually firmware, and they are running on main CPU. To ensure proper function of device on wide variety of hardware, they claim more resources on newer, faster computers than it is necessary for the task. The list is quite long.

Since we're Microsoft Gold Partners at work, we have no need to buy operating systems again when we purchase computers. (Our licensing includes everything we need from them.) We just bought a buttload of new HP development machines that came directly from HP with Linux (disguised as FreeDOS) on them, at a lower cost than if they'd come with Windows installed. The only annoying issue was that since they didn't have Windows on them, they didn't have any Windows DRIVERS on them either. I needed to download all of those from HP and figure out what to install on a system. Once I got it working, we ghosted it and built the rest of the machines from that image. I'd be willing to bet that the eventual move to Vista will make this sort of purchase even more common.

The 256Mb yast memory requirement might be a problem, but I'm sure I'll find a way around that. /Per Jessen, Zürich Now for a better answer to your question. In my opinion, I doubt that anyone could actually get a full 10.2 distro to install and run on anything less than a Pentium/AMD-K6 or some such processor now. Internally, these processors support subsets that include 386 code which of course the 486 also understands. So, the kernel can be compiled to run as a 386 and shun some of the Pentium centric code and should run just fine. It isn't the kernel that is the problem, it is all of the support software, multimedia, graphics, word processing, ad nausium, that we now take for granted and say 'that is 10.2' or that is SuSE or Kubuntu or whatever. It isn't. SuSE is a collection which includes Linux, as is Debian, or whatever distro you happen to like. It is the collection of support software that becomes the personality of the distribution and it is also the reason our old 486 machines won't run anymore. It is these neat packages of music, graphics, editors and what-not, that depend on instructions that the poor old 486 processor simply has no concept of. So while Linux itself can be compiled to run in a mode that is compatible with the old box, it is unlikely the rest of any modern distro will do so as well. However, remember, you are given the source code to much of the software you use and it *is* possible that if you put your mind to it, many programs might be coerced into a compatible mode and recompiled...not a chore for the faint of heart. Also, not a few of the packages include NON-OSS programs, which mean 'sorry Charlie' because the sources are not available. All this said however, I challange a user of VISTA or even XP to take its' kernel and boot on a 486...never mind all its bells and whistles, just the kernelLinux users can, even a modern version.

[opensuse] use headphones and line out independently on Intel 82801DB-ICH4
Hi, I want to mix some music and use therefore the headphone-out and the line-out of my soundcard independently. By now, I can only change the volume for both headphone-out and line-out together using master-volume. The Volume-control for the Headphones in the mixer doesn't have any effect. Does anyone know if that is possible with my soundcard? Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Chipset Analog Devices AD1981B . I'am using the modules snd_intel8x0, snd_ac97_bus, snd_ac97_codec I think it is much clearer this way: I want to have four devices, e.g.: /dev/dsp0 - line out right /dev/dsp1 - line out left /dev/dsp2 - headphone out right /dev/dsp3 - headphone out left Thanks, Kilian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] Mounting External Hard Disks
Hi all, I've been trying to use a external disk. I can format it, mount it, but I can't write on it, cause always openSUSE 10.2 mounts it with owner and group as root. I found that strange cause all the usb pens are writable. Why not the disk? The only answer that I found is that the pens are format with vfat. I format the disk with vfat and it mounted with my user name as owner and group as root. So ...

Good that you have seen my message.
Something[tm] broke it, but at least it wasn't my fault *g*
My coordinates.php file fetches
http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=OpenSUSE_Community/Map/Coordinatesa
ction=raw Until now, it simply passed the content to the map script (and
worked the last time I checked it), so the problem must be caused by a
change on the coordinates page.
If that was comment in the middle of the {{map_user... list than it is my
fault. I didn't want to remove faulty entry, I just commented it out, but my
crystal ball got meldown some time ago, and I haven't seen where is the
problem ;-)
I have modified the code in coordinates.php [1]. This means:
- all lines before the !--START-- comment will be ignored
- all remaining lines containing {{map_user will be read
- all other lines will be dropped
I have moved the entry
!-- In the middle of the sea?
{{map_user|54:11:47|2:49:40|SuSe User UK|South Lakes Lancashire
Cumbria}}
--
to the top of the page, because the new PHP code does NOT ignore it - it
simply drops the !-- and -- lines ;-)
If someone can fix this entry, just move it downwards again.
Someone with name SuSe User probably just played to see how map works.
I guess that entry can be removed.
I have also done some minor bugfixing and enhancements:
- people who didn't enter an URL will no longer have their name linked

- there's a loading map data... notice now until the data is loaded
- the name list below the map is now organized in columns instead of an
endless line and therefore easier to read
To make the story short: The map works again :-) and I'll run
mv $0 bed/ now.
Rajko, you might want to update the screenshot in the wiki - there are
much more users in the map now ;-)
:-D
Will be soon.
Regards and good night,
Christian Boltz
