You confuse opensuse-factory with opensuse ? -factory is for development issues of the distribution. Your question sounds a lot like a support question. But yes, it's possible.

[opensuse] OpenSuse 10.3 Update Manager Issue
Hello, I installed OpenSuse 10.3 yesterday and I noticed something odd today. If I check the Include optional patches in additional updates and Include 3rd party updates in additional updates boxes in the preferences window of the update manager it shows me 15 additional updates are available. However, if I run the update manager and click details I cannot see any of them. I can however press install and the update manager does it's magic giving me the message that everything is installed, but when the update manager closes and it's re-checks for updates it still gives me the message that 15 additional updates are available and I can redo this process all over again, time after time. I don't know if I want to unckeck these boxes and miss out on any additional updates. Any advice? Secondly, I read in an IRC chat log on the OpenSuse website that BlueFish (the HTML editor) was removed from OpenSuse 10.3. Any reason why this happened or where I can find any additional repositories which includes it? - Jensen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The bug is still open and the manufacturer has other cards with 'higher priorities'. Their controller is super, their support leaves a lot to be desired. Ah?

The scanner part is supported by hpljm1005, which is not yet in die sane source. I added it and recompiled the sane sources. Also created a dll.conf file with the string hpljm1005 in it - as instructed by someone on a forum somewhere. Usually SANE looks into /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and therefore additional drivers (SANE backends) are usually added to this file. But your self-compiled SANE might do anything else depending on how you compiled and installed it. For general information how it usually works and how to do usually trouble-shooting see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners_from_SUSE_LINUX_9.2 I can scanimage now, but only as root I guess the HP M1005 MFP is connected via USB. Then lsusb shows its current USB bus and device number, e.g.: -- Bus 002 Device 003: ID 03f0:a1b2 Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 1005 -- and then the device file via which it is accessed is -- /dev/bus/usb/002/003 -- and then ls -l /dev/bus/usb/002/003 shows its permissions e.g.: -- crw-r--r-- 1 root root ... /dev/bus/usb/002/003 -- and then an appropriate chmod should help - but only until the scanner is re-connected or the system is re-booted because USB device files are created by udev on the fly for each boot and/or device connect. As you didn't mention which Suse Linux or openSUSE version you are using, I cannot tell you what exactly you need to do to set appropriate permissions via the udev/HAL/resmgr machinery (the details changed for each Suse Linux or openSUSE version). For openSUSE 10.2 see for example https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223875#c4 and for openSUSE 10.3 see for example https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250659 Even http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=Pine.LNX.4.64.0708141120210.25428%40nelson.suse.de and http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=Pine.LNX.4.64.0707040850200.22081%40nelson.suse.de may help you, see the controllable permissions section. The simplest solution is to use the saned and the net meta-backend on your local host to access the scanner, for example via YaST scanner setup - Other - Scanning via Network. For general information how this usually works see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners_from_SUSE_LINUX_9.2 Alternatively you can use 'saned'... Yast has no idea of the scanner The model list in YaST is derived from the *.desc scanner description files in our sane-backends RPM package. There is no other method in SANE how a scanner config tool could know about scanner models and which driver(s) match to a model. Don't confuse this with what sane-find-scanner does, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=260991#c8 obviously kooka (which I used in the past with my epson) does not work. Why obviously?

Re: [opensuse] antialiasing vs subpixel-hinting
But on my 10.2 system even antialiasing did not work from the beggining of using SUSE 10.2 (in KDE). If I set antialiasing to full in KDE control center fonts look like if they would not be antialiased at all. I have to switch to medium antialiasing for a visible effect. I checked 10.3 and it seems this has not chenged in it. Full antialiasing still does not work. Is this a KDE or SUSE bug? And when will it be fixed? TIA, IG Full anti-aliasing (aa) was disabled in default 10.2 install. Set aa to medium in default 10.2 and you will get fairly good aa. Follow the subpixel hinting page if you want to enable full aa. Thanks David. I could not remember that full antialiasing was disabled in 10.2 by default. But the point is it seems to me that this issue is still not fixed in 10.3.

Ddcprobe works great on the machines with newer videocards, and it actually spits out the vendors model description. The old videocards do not seem to be able to query the monitor. Maybe an app that queries the monitor directly? Or maybe a value somewhere in /proc/sys ? Any suggestions? Classic system: Take monitor model from label on the rear and ask: 1.
