Hi,
When I try to set up MythTV, I get a blue screen and MythTV complains
that it can't connect to MySQL, even though it is up and running and has

Fixed the MySQL problem, seems like it wouldn't translate the "%" to
"localhost".  Added an entry for localhost and that part works fine.

The computer itself is 2 years old, so is that about the time when a

I've heard this argument too many times to count.
With all due respect to the author, the argument is based on the
assumption that we want to be mainstreram, that we want everybody and
their grandmother to be running Linux.  Personally, I don't.  Why?
Because inevitably software manufacturers will dumb down Linux to the
point where the protections cease to be relevant.  People will be
running their computers 100 percent of the time in root mode because
they can't be bothered with the hassle of using 'su' when and only when
they really need to upgrade something.
Part of the reason why I believe Linux has been insulated from so many
worms and virii and other things is the crucial part between the
keyboard and the chair; the user that understands not to open every
attachment they get, to be wary of phishing scams and whatnot.
Is that being elitist?  Maybe.  But maybe I want to keep what is unique
in the Linux world unique.
In as far as multimedia support, yeah, SuSE doesn't have that out of the
box.  You know how long it takes for me to set it up?  2 minutes.  And
for that little inconvenience Novell and others don't have to ratchet up
the price of every Linux shipment out there.
Those that want to make linux mainstream have their points, and I
respect them.   But there are some of us who may not think it is so bad
where we are right now.

Had to do that myself.  Basically, went to su, and issued this command
find / -name libflashplayer.so 2>/dev/null

Found the ones that looked like they were firefox's (for some reason,
opera worked), then reinstalled.  Worked like a charm.

[opensuse] Amarok and Various Artists

You remember the thread I started about Amarok listing some people under
various artists.  One of the people here mentioned clicking on "Do not
show under various artists".  Well, that option wasn't there...when my
collection was grouped under artist.  I group under album, and that
option shows up!  Weird, wot?

The funny thing though, is that as soon as I clicked do not group under
various artists and went back to grouping by artists, I didn't have any
"Various Artists".  And I checked each and every one of those files.
Tags seemed fine to me.

[opensuse] tar

2007-01-21 Thread John Meyer
I'm still working my way through tar manuals and I'm coming across this
problem:  creating tarballs is easy, however, when I try to create it to
where only files that are newer are added (such as in Pictures, where I
don't want multiple backups based by dates), tar complains about it.
Does anybody know the right way to do this, given that:

1.  The directory you want to backup is $HOME/Pictures
2.  The file you want to backup to is $HOME/backups/Pictures.tar.gz

[opensuse] Strang thing with Yast

Every time I open it up to do an update, it shows me a whole bunch of

They don't download, and I am presented with the same list again and again.

Re: [opensuse] So Long openSuSe

2006-11-02 Thread John Meyer
In as much as I have criticized the monster known as MS, I don't think a
lot of you really want to go slit your wrists open, tear out your hair,
and put on sackcloth just yet.  We don't even know the complete
financial details of this deal yet.
And I wonder if the same doom and gloomers are the ones who have
consistently bitched about interoperability for MS-Linux. Guess what
guys, you can't have it both ways.

In other words, you were willing to let the roads go to hell, the
children go nowhere educationally, and your water go down the drain
because of one old fart with a cynical, do-nothing attitude about our
political servants?   And we wonder why this country is going down stream.

That (rcapache2) yields running.  And Yast asked if I wanted to install it.
BTW, I did try to reply back on list, opensuse blocked me.
