Look the YaST in the same place where you was able to find selections. I still use 10.0/10.1, so this the guess. -- Regards, Rajko. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse-factory] Adding SBIG CCD camera support to SUSE?
Hello, Sorry if this is not the appropiate list to discuss this issue. Santa Barbara SBIG CCD camera is one of the most popular cameras used in astronomy. In order to operate, the CCD requires a firmware to be uploaded upon detection on the USB port. Otherwise, you can't establish any further communications at all. So we have a few hex files needed for firmware uploaded to be placed under /lib/firmware and we have have a rule file to be placed under /etc/udev/rules.d/ that uses fxload to upload the appropiate firmware. We feel it's absolutely neccessary to have this CCD supported. There are more technical details, but I'm not sure whom to address when it comes to this task.

Hi, Andreas Jaeger schrieb: > I don't like Experienced user - this should be split into several > patterns... What about a pattern for console users instead? A pattern that includes software which is rarely used or unnecessary on desktops, but handy for the console. Some ideas for this pattern include: mc findutils-locate antiword vorbis-tools (for ogg123) lynx xpdf-tools (for pdftotext, can be used as pdf reader) sox (for /usr/bin/play) cdrecord bsd-games This pattern should aim against feature-parity with the desktop on the console.

Not being able to play WMV is not a bug; the gstreamer packages in Factory don't contain the ffmpeg plugin for legal reasons, which would be needed to play WMV. The GNOME problems will probably disappear anyway when GNOME is fully updated to version 2.16.

[opensuse-factory] Latest Update on factory tree and 10.2 Alpha 3 experience
Hello list, I am closely following the factory tree with my installation (Dell Latitude C640). With the latest update from Aug 26th I hoped, some of the issues I had are solved and finally I can use firefox again which was one of the main issues. But a few other things I am struggling with: a) With rug I get dependendy problems updating cpp41, gcc41, gcc41-c++, gcc41-fortran, gcc41-info,gcc41-objc,libstdc++-41-develThe following things I see since updating to 10.2 alpha versions: b) metacity is not usable as window manager for gnome (I currently switched to icewm), starting it at the command line I get the following: sandmann:/ # metacity --replaceWindow manager warning: Bad key or directory name: "ENABLE_WINDOWS_KEYS": Must begin with a slash (/) Segmentation faultI was not able to find anything about the mentioned key/directory name and also google wasn't helping. Where can I start lookingc) At startup I get a message "Gnome Settings Deamon" couldn't be started. After trying all solutions which I found, I completely reinstalled openSUSE (from the factory tree again), created a new user, but unfortunately the problem remained. A process is running: sandmann:/ # ps -ef | grep gnome-settings-daemonmbrasse 4322 1 0 11:54 ? 00:00:02 /opt/gnome/lib/control-center-2.0/gnome-settings-daemon --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon --oaf-ior-fd=29 When I kill that process and restart the same command from the console I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/> /opt/gnome/lib/control-center-2.0/gnome-settings-daemon --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon --oaf-ior-fd=29 [1156675807,000,xklavier.c:XklStartListen/] The backend does not require manual layout management - but it is provided by the applicationIOR:01f7cabf1d0049444c3a474e4f4d452f53657474696e67734461656d6f6e3a312e300354424f5400010102720500554e49580a006c6f63616c686f73740001012c002f746d702f6f726269742d6d6272617373652f6c696e632d313431322d302d63663132373332366361666500caaedfba5800010102302c002f746d702f6f726269742d6d6272617373652f6c696e632d313431322d302d63663132373332366361666500424f1c00f4925cc0ea9c68a8c02b28282828282805004ea173d70100480001746d70020005001c00f4925cc0ea9c68a8c02b28282828282805004ea173d70100140001000100010509010100 (gnome-screensaver:5155): gnome-screensaver-WARNING **: screensaver already running in this sessiond) All yast menu entries (gnome main menu and also in the control center) don't force to run yast2 as root.
