[opensuse] Repository for Non-OSS

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I am running opensuse 10.3. The only repository I know for non-oss is:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/non-oss/suse

Is there another repository which would have updated non-oss packages
such as for java and flash-player?

Thanks!

Anyone have any ideas?? If not, I'll probably have to restore a system
backup from before the problem occurred. Then, I'll do updates one by
one until I see what the cause is.

It would be great if someone already has an idea. :)

[opensuse] Firefox 64 bit plugins

2007-07-19 Thread Rick Friedman
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

On my 64 bit machine, I've been running the 32 bit version of Firefox
from the following repository:

http://software.opensuse.org/download/mozilla/openSUSE_10.2

Yesterday, I installed the 64 bit version of Firefox and found that my
java plugin and flash plugin wouldn't work. The 64 bit Firefox didn't
even recognize them.

Does anyone know where there are repositories for 64 bit versions of
these plugins? The packages I currently have installed are for the i586
architecture from the following repositories:

Java:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-Factory-non-oss/inst-source-extra/suse/

Flash:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/mozilla/openSUSE_10.2

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rick

 Evidently something somewhere, for some of us at least, is removing
 that space.
 There is a bug in the enigmail extension that changes a leading
 dash to a dashspace. In the openPGP/enigmail menu, select
 preferences, then PGP/Mime, allow to use PGP/Mime. Then in the
 advanced tab, make sure treat --space as signature separator is
 checked.

 Works on Seamonkey, should work in TBird as well.
 
 What's KMail's excuse? That's what I use.
I changed how Thunderbird and the enigmail extension treat --space.
Does it seem to work properly now?

Re: [opensuse] Working Democracy Player RPMs for 10.2

Hash: SHA1

I've installed the Democracy rpms from the repository and it, mostly,
works fine. However, on about half the videos, when the video reaches
the end the Democracy Player hangs. It will not respond at all. I then
have to kill the process.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

 Does anyone know where to look to do this?

Open up YaST. Choose Network Services and then Mail Transfer Agent.

The first window you'll see will be General Settings. Simply click the
Next button. The next window will be Outgoing Mail. Again, click Next.
The next window will be Incoming Mail. This is the window you want.
Down near the bottom, you will see a text box labeled, Forward root's
mail to. Simply delete the user name in that box and click the Finish
button. That should do it.

 Hi list.
 
 
 Just when I wanted to debug a web problem, I saw tcpdump 
 showing Firefox making silent requests to Google. (wtf at this point!)
 To reproduce: Open a random webpage (preferably one that does not 
 reference external content, e.g. http://jengelh.hopto.org/ ; local 
 files don't trigger it)

 Can I _please_ get information why there's spyware like this in Firefox? 
 Added by SUSE?

Assuming you are running Firefox 2, you almost certainly have the
anti-phishing filter turned on. Go to Edit-Preferences-Security and
see if the checkbox labeled Tell me if the site I'm visiting is a
suspected forgery is checked. If so, you have the anti-phishing filter
turned on. 

There are two ways to have Firefox check for phishing sites. You'll
notice two radio buttons. One is labeled Check using a downloaded list
of suspected sites and the other says Check by asking Google about
each site I visit.

If you select the first option, Firefox will regularly (I think once a
week though I could be wrong) and automatically a file of suspected
sites from Google. For every site you visit it will check that site
against the local file that it downloaded.

If you select the second option, Firefox will check every site you visit
by sending the site URL to Google for comparison with the online file
they have. 

The first option is faster but the information on phishing sites might
not be as up-to-date as the second option.

[opensuse] Changelogs in RPMs

I just installed the latest MozillaFirefox package (2.0-41.1). It
occurred to me that I haven't really seen changelogs for these packages
that I'm downloading. So, I checked the contents of the MozillaFirefox

How can I go about finding the changes made from one package version to
another? (not just for the Firefox package but for all of them)

the changelog of a package BEFORE the package is installed? For example,
if I have version 1.2 of package foo installed, is there some way I can
see the changelog of of version 1.25 before installing it?
