OpenSUSE :: Multiple File Selection For KDE?
Oct 31, 2010
what the logic Dolphin uses for selecting multiple files.
If I am viewing a large number of files, I want to select a subset without having
to click each file one-by-one. The way things USED to work in KDE 3.5:
Select the first file. Move the mouse to the last file, press SHIFT while clicking the file, and all the files starting with the first one selected up to the last one are selected.
In KDE4, performing the above technique produces a random selection. Sometimes,
the desired results occur. Frequently, the first few files are deselected. More frequently, files BELOW the last one are highlighted, and only a few above stay selected.
what logic is used for multiple file selection? Is there a better way to select a range of files?

I downloaded some AVI files (legally of course...) and there are multiple sound tracks on each file, meaning supposedly I should be able to select the language it plays. How do I set the movie player to select a language or how do I burn those AVI's onto a DVD allowing language selection (or to burn them all, already selected with English as the language it will play)?

How can I change the behavior of the selection buffer or a program that uses it ( I have xclip) to not send me text until the mouse button is released while clicking and dragging? This causes havok in the software I'm developing that tries to make use of the selection buffer. I need the full selection, not bits more bits more bits and then the full selection.EDIT: I cannot listen for mouse events such as button release outside of the GUI of my program.

Is it possible to remove multiple packages listed in a text file? Similar to "cat orphan.txt | zypper rm" or "zypper rm <orphan.txt." Neither worked.

How can I burn the openSUSE 11.3 ISO DVD file to multiple CDROMs to upgrade a legacy notebook (Sony Vaio PCG-FXA32) running 11.1 that has only a CDROM drive? I have the 11.3 ISO on a DVD disk.

I just installed opensuse, and I really like it! I think I may be finally ready to switch from windows to linux 100%, despite years (literally) of wanting to.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any good software. I've enabled the packman repositories, or at least I think I have (I used the graphical tool, not the command line). But when I do a search for some programs, nothing comes up. Google chrome didn't even come up until I installed a repository special just for it.
No picasa, no nestopia, and formerly no chrome nor chromium. Is the software selection through packman just not as varied as ubuntu (which I barely played with before getting kernel panics out the whazoo)?
Also, I finally have a distribution where it isn't difficult to install proprietary ati drivers! I loved arch, but it was a nightmare; even if you did manage to install the drivers, you had to do a whole bunch of stuff every single time the kernel was upgraded... and it was rolling release! (Which I love, but somewhere I read that I shouldn't use the opensuse rolling distro version because of ati drivers, but I never really understood why.) However, ati catalyst didn't get installed. Is it a separate package?
Finally, and this is simply a tack-on for completeness, my wireless card doesn't work, and I followed the forums advice and it still failed, but I'm not worried because I'm ditching the broadcom and buying one better suited for linux. In the meantime, forwarding my wireless from my netbook to my desktop over an ethernet cable works miracles! I wish I had thought of this sooner; it would have saved me so much time lugging that desktop and monitor to the room with the router!
Hi all, and I have a feeling I'll be around here for awhile!

On motherboard and GPU selection. I'm planning on an i5 on a Gigabyte P55 AUD4 board (think that's the numbers). I was thinking about an NVidia graphics card but the ATI 5775 has also been suggested. I'd thought NVidia was better for Linux but someone said this wasn't the case unless you were talking 3D. (I'll be dual booting windows, so windows 3D performance is relevant for midrange gaming) Can you advise on a good choice of graphics card that will be compatible with SUSE, +quiet, low-mid price bracket. ($150-200 Australian, about $100-$130 USD I guess.)

Seems I have messed up something.I can boot into openSUSE and into Vista, so it is not screwed.I have 1 hard diskI have an OEM Vista (so a 9 GB EISA rescue partition), the Vista partition (~100GB) and the 3 partitions for openSUSE (2/20/467).Before just wiping the linux partitions I tried to switch back to M$ booting but failed. ATM I boot to splash screen showing 3 entries: 2 openSUSE and 1 windows.When I choose Windows I get to the next screen showing Windows and - ubuntu (I had ubuntu via wubi before but wasn't convinced, so (w)ubuntu does not exist anymore).I thought installing openSUSE will fix the issue that ubuntu shows up on M$ booting screen but ofc I was wrong.I didn't want to wipe the still unused openSUSE partitions before being successfull so instead I tried:
- booting into M$ rescue CL: bootrec /fixmbr does not give an error but bootrec /fixboot or /rebuildbcd - automatic system repair does not show any partition, fixboot /scanos finds C:
- using bcdedit and EasyBCD (fail)

I am trying to integrate two new machines into an old network running NFS and NIS. One machine has 11.4 and the other 11.3. On the 11.4 machine login, I select "other" and before entering my password I can select my desired window manager from the "sessions" list in the task bar. On the 11.3 machine I select "other", but nothing appears in the task bar. The "sessions" list briefly flashes up after I have already entered by password and hit enter. This machine always starts up in KDE even though I have specified GNOME as the default display manager.Also, on either machine after validating my login, I never appear as a user in the login list. I always have to select "other". Other network users in the same group or users local to the machine do not have either problem. I tried wiping my home directory, but it makes no difference. I'm guessing this has something to do with the NIS but there is no admin here anymore

I have an old (2005) PowerMac that just got out of the shop for a new power supply. I'm installing a new hard drive and have no operating system for it. Is OpenSUSE a good selection for a 64 bit PowerMac? Are there any incompatibility issues?Anything I should do before installation?I have read most of the pre-install instructions and I'm wondering if:
1.Will Open Firmware allow Target Disk Mode (like OS X) to boot from firewire drives using Linux?
2.What applications / operating systems are best with 64 bit PowerPC machines?
3.Is network administration / simple file hosting / and network security straightforward with Linux (OpenSUSE)?
4.Is network backup software native / available to Linux distros?
5.Does OpenSUSE or any other Linux OS work well with Dual Processors? Native Support?
I will have tons of questions. I use OpenSUSE on a laptop and I seem to like it fairly well.It is not UBUNTU, and that's a good thing.I like how OpenSUSE feels.I've never used Linux on a PowerPC, but I use several Macintosh G4 and G5 machines.

I'm seeking to make permanent a selection in openSUSE-11.4 LXDE between english and Thai keyboards. And I need help here, as I have only succeed partially. After installing Thai via YaST regional settings, I followed the advice in an LXDE forum here LXDE.org Forum - View topic - How to add layouts to keyboard preferences in LXDE? and on the LXDE Panel I righted click on LXPanel->Add/Remove Panel Items->Panel Applets->Add->Keyboard Layout Switcher. Upon a restart of X that gave me a US flag symbol (for US keyboard) in lower right hand corner. No other language selection. I then as a regular user sent the command
Code:
setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,th
and I then had a choice between Thai and US keyboard which worked well. That unfortunately is only temporary until the next reboot. HOW to make it permanent ? I tried, and I was unable to make that permanent. I tried adding .Xkbmap to /home/user (restarted/tested) and when that failed I tried adding .Xmodmap to /home/user (restarted/tested) and when that failed I tried adding /etc/X11/Xkbmap (restarted/tested) and when that failed I added same line to /etc/X11/Xmodmap (restarted/tested) and that also failed. The line in all cases was
Code:
-option grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us, th
I also tired editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90_keytable.conf file, changing it to
Code:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "LocalKeyboard"

Option "XkbLayout" "us, th"

I could create a script with my 1st successful effort (and have that run when LXDE starts up) but surely there is a more elegant way? I am also NOT keen to have this system wide (even thou I tried that system wide (unsuccessfully) at the end) but I would rather only have this for one LXDE user.

I used KDE3 with 11.0 with some KDE4 apps till I needed some applications from the KDE4 factory tree and mistakenly left the repository active. Next time the online update also updated most of the applications I would rather keep, and as a result the KDE3 disappeared from the KDM login choices. So I have two questions:1. how to enable users to select KDE3 at login (currently I have to select failsafe mode and run startkde manually)2. how to replay back an update I didn't want to have?
Perhaps a combination of the above: can I upgrade to OS11.2 and keep KDE3? (please don't tell me to switch to KDE4, I acknowledge and appreciate the effort and the improvements that KDE4 got, but it's still not a replacement for KDE3 - there are so many simple things which are impossible in the new version)

I have files a, b, c and d. They're all relatively large and are served up by a static web server optimized for this purpose. I can get requests that look like this:
/abcd
/ad
/bacdac
...
Each request is basically a request for a concatenation of the files in the order of the letters. The list of possible requests is finite, but large enough that disk space will run out very quickly and be very expensive if I create all possible files via concatenation.Is there a way to create a pointer file like abcd that is essentially a multi-file symlink that first points to a then to be then to c then to d? So if the contents of the files were as follows:
a: hello
b: there
c: whats

I have a new installation of F12 on a laptop and there over 500 updates related to bugs, security issues or enhanments available. I installed the security updates first with no issues.Next I installed the updates in the attached file. Afterwards, I restarted and logged in again. Now the File browser continuously opened on the bottom panel of the Gnome desktop and it never stops so there were multiple File Browsers opening. Since I installed them using "yum install $(cat updates1.txt) command, it was easy for me to remove them using "yum remove $(cat updates1.txt) command.
At some point, the file browsers started to close until no more were open. After the yum cammand finished I restarted and now the laptop "hangs" on the splash screen.It appears that I have to rebuild the laptop because it does not boot to the login screen. Moreover, since I have no idea of which update caused this, I wonder if I should installl any of the non security updates.

Are there any reliable ways to print libreoffice or openoffice drawings to multiple pages. I have two drawings I designed for 11" x 22" sheets, and I'd like to print one of them to 4x or at most 6x 8 1/2" x 11" sheets, without reduction.
So far, when I've tried this using "print to multiple sheets," the results have been erratic, and have basically wasted paper and ink with no usable results.
I can't even preview this.
I am using the old trick of creating a duplicate file, and creating for duplicate slides within it, making each slide one group, and using the alignment settings to make each slide match one corner of the original image. It works, but it is kinda clunky.

I am using nessus to scan systems, and it generates the report file without any specific delimiter. Shown below is how a typical line in the file reads (It might show up as a very long line.
Code:
xx.xx.xx.xx|cpq-wbem (2301/tcp)|49272|REPORT|Synopsis :;;The remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.;;Description :;;According to its self-reported version number, the HP System;Management Homepage install on the remote host is earlier than 6.2. ;Such versions are reportedly affected by the following ;vulnerabilities :;; - Session renegotiations are not handled properly, which; could be exploited to insert
[code]....
The field of interest (for me) are IP ADDRESS, Synopsys, Description, Solution and Risk Factor. I tried the following command to parse this:
Code:
sed s/:;;/|/g report.nsr | grep Risk Factor |High | awk 'BEGIN {FS = "[:][;][;]"} {printf("%s|%s|%s|%s",$1, $6, $7, $10)}'
But this would not give desired results as ':;;' is not a standard delimiter and hence gives incorrect results. how to grab everything that occurs between the strings 'Synopsys', 'Description', 'Solution' & 'Risk factor' in the above example? In other words i may be asking to use multiple delimiters.. in the order of occurance.. is there a tool that supports multiple delimiters?
