[opensuse] Problem writing to drive shared by Vista and Suse 10.3
I have a 300g drive with a vfat filesystem (created with mkfs.vfat) that I write files (well I want to write files to) to from both opensuse 10.3 and windows vista. (dual boot config, this filesystem is never mounted to both at once) However, when booted into opensuse only root can write to the filesystem and chmod has no effect. (For example chmod 777 /mnt/data01/Documents (the mount point) appears to run successfully because $? = 0, however the permissions are not changed) I did not see anywhere in vista where I could set permissions on the directory as you could in XP. The output of mount -v shows only one option - rw. #mount -v | grep hda1 /dev/hda1 on /mnt/data01 type vfat (rw) Anyone have any suggestions??

[opensuse] laptop headphones
Hi - Well it seems that, on my fancy dancy HP Pavilion laptop, some braindead engineer decided it was a good idea to replace/upgrade the good old fashioned style (tried and true) of audio headphone jacks with something that requires software to use it. What ever happened to the KISS principal, in particular that headphone jacks used to ALWAYS simply disconnect internal speakers and mechanically reroute sound to the headphones when you plugged one into its jack? As you (poor reader) can probably surmise I just discovered this wonderful feature about my laptop because when I plug in my headphones under Windows they work, but under SuSE 10.2 it does not. So guess I got to hold my nose, because this new headphone jack design STINKS, IMHO and ask this group for help to gain the advance wisdom and knowledge about how to use headphones from some kind guru... This SHOULD have been a duck soup simple task and apparently has now become yet another fine example of how computers are being redesigned to frustrate us poor users--- How do I get my headphones to work under SuSE 10.2 so I can listen to music played via Amorak at work (without getting shot by my co-workers because they may NOT happen to like my particular tastes)?

Sure, use the make_home_dir utility - works like a charm. http://www.trustsec.de/soft/oss/make_home_dir-1.0.tar.gz Of course, the old school linux method is to combine nis with nfs and automounter, so you get the same home directory everywhere.

Re: [opensuse] Will there be a LTS version of OpenSuse?
I also think that having openSUSE LTS will be very good for a community to have, but the point is - I'm not sure if there is enough volunteers to make it possible. Do not expect any help from Novell, because having openSUSE LTS may hurt SLE(S/D) business. Most chances, are, that Novell will disallow to use SUSE brand for such community project. Alternatively, SLE may stay for corporations, while openSUSE LTS will have the same role within the openSUSE community as CentOS serves in RedHat community. That is: Community OS, with long-support cycle for personal use/small companies, while RHEL is for large enterprises. Similar market segmentation might work for openSUSE as well. But CentOS is tied very closely with RHEL, not with Fedora, so patches are made by RedHat, not by CentOS developers. CentOS is, in fact, a bug-for-bug copy of RHEL.Will openSUSE LTS be tied closely to SLE or to openSUSE ? A major problem with the so-called Enterprise Linuxes, is that they have *very* few packages, so it is a big pain to use for power users, who use a lot of _different_ packages. Perhaps, going back to RedHat Linux days may solve this problem, where 1 OS is for both Enterprise+Community. (It was in year 2003, before RedHat Linux devision into RedHat Enterprise Linux and Fedora). Such releases should have LTS badge on them, rather than a full devision. Actually, Ubuntu got it right, because their LTS releases can be considered to have Enterprise support, if need arises, plus Ubuntu LTS do not suffer from having few packages as RHEL/SLE do. In Any case, I would support such community action - making openSUSE LTS possible ! -- -Alexey Eremenko Technologov, 13.01.2008. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ideas? If you're running one of the $pay$ versions of VNware, you can do this easily and directly using the shared folders feature. You configure this in the Options tab of the Virtual Machine Settings dialog. (This is based on VMware 5.5; I'm sure the essence is the same on 6.0 even if some of the UI details have changed.) You can map any number of directories in the host file system to what appear to be remote shares or drives in the Windows guest. I only know for a fact that you can do this when Windows is the guest OS, which is by far the preferable approach since that way Windows' poor use of hardware resources doesn't degrade the performance of a Linux guest.

[opensuse] Major problem with update sources! System trashed, unable to update new install
There appears to be a problem with the update source at: http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/ and by definition mirrors thereof. On Friday, I accepted an update offered by the updater as usual. During the update, several errors were displayed, but the update continued. Once the update was finished, I had a crash of evolution when I tried to send a mail. So I rebooted, and to cut a long story short, found out that hundreds of core packages had been uninstalled, including rpm itself. I can provide a URL to download the zipped log from the fateful update session on request. After re-installing from scratch (no luck with repair), I find that I can't install an update source due to the same error that seems to have triggered the mass-uninstall in the first place. The checksum on patch-fetchmsttfonts.sh-4347.xml appears to be wrong. YaST won't install the update source because of this. Is anyone working on fixing this? My system got hosed and I can't even re-install to the same level. Thankfully all my personal data is OK. (Regular backups). I hope that I am the only one hit by this.

First, I'm sorry you're having difficulties printing. Second, OpenOffice is not provided by a company, it's provided by volunteers. It is released under the SUN name, and the company supports the volunteers. And, PLEASE, don't give me the crap about 'volunteering'! 'Volunteer' or an 'employee for $$$', the ethics are still the same: 'If it's worth doing then it's worth doing well'. I've been working with volunteers for over 30 years. If a ding-dong (as in my second-last contact with a volunteer organisation) started the same argument as your statement above implies, my reply was, 'Nobody asked you to volunteer. Either do the job properly or p*** off.' Second, there may well be any number of problems in your computer, your setup, your particular combinations of hardware and setup that don't make make it an OpenOffice problem or an Opensuse problem. Third, you haven't given us much information to enable any one to help you. I appreciate that you're frustrated at not being able to print, but with so many different possible combinations of computer hardware, software, and printers, it's virtually certain that someone will come up with scenarios which don't work. It certainly is a possibility that my hardware configuration is 'upsetting' my ability to print, but I also understand that the whole OS (and OO) is being developed with the attempt to make it workable with all hardware. For example, the latest version of Damn Small Linx (DSL) certainly attempts this. Speaking of my own experience with the five computers I operate and maintain, I've never had any problem printing from OpenOffice in any version for the past five years, with Suse from 9.2 to 10.3. I have to say that this is very nice for you - no problems of any kind. Wonderful! Due more to good luck than anything, last night I found a simple reference, in a message in the Sun's OpenOffice 'help' forum, which provided me with the information to get OO to print. As you suggest in your response, for which I am grateful, it ALL has to do with outputting the document to a pdf file and then printing that. So at least you can deal with the immediate problem, to get those files printed right away. Yes, I was very pleased that I was able to print a document in OO! The whole process involves trickery worthy of Harry Potter. Bosh. This is a work-around, not trickery. A 'work-around' is 'trickery'. I used Microsoft Office for years, using the printer I mention in my original post (the Lexmark 4039 plus), and it NEVER even considered not printing at the first attempt. Good. Errr...how old is this Lexmark, and what drivers are you using? Are you installing printer drivers with YAST or via CUPS? My printer is recognised by OpenSuse 10.2 (and 10.3) and installs the correxct drivers openSuSE thinks are the correct ones. How old my printer is none of anyone's business. OpenSuSE recognises it and installs the appropriate driver for it. Doing a 'Test' print prints the correct print output. OO - in both 10.2 (and now the new install of 10.3) then stuffs-up when I try and print a page. Using Kwrite (eg) to print some text works fine. OO stuffs up. Why is OpenOffice such a bitch about printing? It's not. Why would you assume it is? Millions of people around the world use it without a problem. There obviously is a problem with something on your machine, though. Ho-hum :-( . Got to the OO user Forum and as late as today - 13 January 2008 - there are questions about not being able to print in OO. Or is it a problem with openSuse? Don't know. Since we don't let's not assign blame just yet. People here are really good about helping, but it doesn't help to jump to conclusions like the above. Not jumping to any 'occlusions'. Simply asking why a piece of software, advertised to the world as the 'Ants Pants' to replace you-know-what cannot print correctly. Nothing more.
