Re: [opensuse] Second Try: Redesign of YaST Control Center

Greyed out icons would be more confusing and as cluttered as it is now. An icon should only appear to show something that is there. A knowledgable user would know whether or not he/she had, for example, NIS installed and if they didn't have it installed they would know that they would have to install it. Thats why i suggested the "Add Service/Harware" option, once this is selected it could then list the items that could be installed. regards ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yep, merge a couple of sections and only show icons for items installed. e.g. Miscellaneous section - rename to System Logs: Move "Release Notes" into the Software section Move "Vendor Driver CD" to Hardware/Drivers section Software Section: Group the "Online Update" "Automatic Online Update" and Online Update Config" programs together Hardware Section - rename to Hardware/Drivers: Move Network Devices into Hardware section Don't show icons for hardware that is not in the system, create an "Add hardware" icon that lauches a module that lists all the possibities System section - rename to System Services: Move "Network Services" into this section Don't show icons for services which are not in the system, create an "Add Service" icon that lauches a moule that lists all the possibities Group related icons together Security and Users Section - Split into 2 sections a) Security and Remote mangement b) User management: Move "Novell AppArmor" into the Security section Move "VNC" into the Security section Move "Kerberos" into the Security section User Section: User Management Group Management Sudo (?) > > (2) The groups don't always match users' expectations. > (E.g., is firewall more related to security or to network?) > > (3) It's hard for newbies to figure out what does what. > > (3a) Sometimes it's hard to figure out the difference between modules. > > (4) It's often enough hard for expert to find things. > > (5) It's not exactly pretty. > > > Back when we designed that control center, we figured it would do its job > fairly well.

You could try downloading Opera 9.2 (the very latest). I usually download
from Opera.com and not from suse and I have no problems on openSuse 10.1 with
KDE3.5.6.
But i do have the occasional crash on openSuse 10.2 especially on Slashdot
even with the latest from Opera.

Mine has done the same. It now shows openSuse 10.1 on the first line and the the Kernel version on the second - the kernal patch has really messed up Grub as I have to select the second line for it to work. And why has the screen reverted to 10.1 when it was a clean install of 10.2 on my machine. Someone somewhere is not testing their patches very well.

[opensuse] Kernel Update + Source + NVidia +Suse 10.1
Hi All I attempted this because the "Updater" icon kept showing that a new kernel was available evn though YaST2 did not show this. I've been attempting to upgrade the NVidia drivers (9746) after updating the kernel. I've followed the http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html#3 instructions. Needless to say, i couldn;t get the latest drivers to install, it kept crashing out with "unable to find. kernel.h" even though it was there.

When in YaST looking for the blue ticks, its easier to go to Yast's left hand pane, scroll down to "zzz All " then from the one of the menus, select "Update all if a newer version available" (or something along those lines). That way you won't miss any blue ticks because it will convert all the blue ticks items to the Update icon. You can check what is going to be updated by clicking the title bar of the right hand Yast pane above the icon column and it will sort the list into order of "locked" and then "updates", just scroll down until you see the Updates.

The playback of some formats is restricted due to possible concerns over "legality", we all think that Suse et al are being over-cautious as the RIAA etc have given up trying to stop the DVD decoding being distributed as its in too many places on the web now.
