The second is some kind of logic and calling things *.exe points to a Microsoft enviroment, no matter how wrong that is. Stupid people, like me, will think that it is something wrong, delete it and have problems. An easy way to prevent this stupidity is to remove the *.exe part. This stupidity can be easily prevented by changing the name. However this asks for a change of mindset of people who think that a user should not mess with his own system and are pretty stuborn in that point of view. No matter how technically it is all correct, it is still wrong. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.

[opensuse-factory] DVD drive fails to mount disc
DVD drive fails to mount disc with automount/kde. KDE detects when I insert a dvd disc, but in console I have running udevmonitor --env, and it do'nt detect nothing. If I accept the message from kde to open in new window, I got "An unknown error ocurred". I have installed the update from the last saturday, (I mean beta 8). Thanks

[opensuse-factory] Vera Sans TTF Font Aliasing on Fontconfig
I just installed from factory FTP for the first time. I see Deja Vu fonts installed, but not Bitstream Vera. I think if that's to be the default installation configuration then /etc/fonts/fonts.conf should be setting an alias for the various Bitstream Vera Fonts to their DejaVu counterparts so that the much smaller default (Nimbus Sans L) sans-serif doesn't get substituted on web pages using Vera Sans as a Verdana fallback. -- "Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord."Psalm 119:11 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

I chose to install xmms with yast sw (beta8) - apparently xmms depends on xmms-lib which is also installed. This is all very nice - except in earlier versions of SL you would be informed of dependencies before they're installed - enabling you to change your mind - or at least know what's going on before it's too late. Is this behaviour a bug or is it intended? - that dependencies are installed automatically without "consulting" the user beforehand. I prefer the old way. Though I'm aware that some users panic when yast asks them any questions whatsoever. Of course in the xmms case it's not important - but if I (or some other user) were to by accident install some GNOME-package and thus installaing 100s of megs of dependencies without warning it would be a problem. cb400f - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And again, if the producer decides to have a closed source driver. please go ahead, but play by the rules and respect others rights as you wish them to respect yours. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.

[opensuse-factory] Beware of NetworkManager
There are a couple of non-documented shortcomings in this package I would like you all inform about: 1. NetworkManager at its present state cannot deal with WLAN card using the prism54 chip. The corresponding bug 148210 has been marked FIXED without submitting or communicating a fix. Workaround: Either do not use NetworkManager (the traditional method supports prism54 with no problems) or install ndiswrapper from the factory tree (not included in the beta isos!) and use the corresponding MS driver with ndiswrapper. Then NetworkManager can deal with it. Sort of a Trojan horse to get MS drivers into Linux. 2. NetworkManager relies on DCHP in a very rigid manner: DHCP must provide not only the IP address but also the name server address. As many DHCP servers sit in DSL routers and similar devices they are often limited in functionality. E.g. they cannot provided a fixed MAC-IP address relation. Naturally these routers work as the name servers. So in case you want to put your DHCP server on to another node this server needs to address the issue of having a different name server (the one in the router). All this because there is currently no way to specify a fixed name server address NetworkManager will use (bug 159524).

Actually if I need the hardware, I prefer having a closed source driver very much over having no driver at all. For example: My Polaroid SprintScan 120 (discontinued product) is not supported by Linux, the vendor did not give away any programming information (not made by Polaroid), and there is a danger that "wild programming" will damage the hardware. So I have to use MS-Windows to use the scanner. The price you are paying for the hardware is hardly worth a few weeks work of some engineer. The real problem is the Chinese marketing: The build hardware for half of the costs and distribute the software they haven't developed for free. So the original vendor of hard- and software will not earn money. Regards, Ulrich - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If the hardwareseller decides to not use OSS, then he should also play buy the rules and either open the source or place them in such a way that it does not infringe the rights of others. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.

I disagree: developing a driver for Linux is a significant amount of work, and you get something (the driver). You don't get the sources, but you didn't pay for.

It is, however, indeed a big problem for companies trying to profit from linux and giving nothing back in return. Using closed source linux drivers or windows drivers with ndiswrapper is similar. In both cases, the kernel becomes tainted and the result is not debuggable. However, companies creating closed source linux drivers claim to support linux. I fail to understand how they can make that claim. I'm happy that Windows Vista will force most drivers into userspace, thereby invalidating all claims that it can't be done. SOLUTION for fax servers with passive ISDN cards: = Regarding the original topic, there are a few possible solutions at hand for passive ISDN cards. An opensource driver without DSP algorithms should be simple to implement (no patented/secret code needed) and for faxing there are possible solutions mentioned in http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-german/2006/01/msg00080.html That leaves high-speed fax (supported by 2-3% of faxes on the market) and modem emulation to be solved. For fax servers this should be enough. Regards, Carl-Daniel - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Those that dont care about linux wont have a problem with this decision. So I find it a hard decision, but I guess it had to be made. Best all of us can do is try to support those companies.
