I tried a kde live cd last week and quite liked the unbranded look on booting. I am using 11.4 m1 kde 4.5 and am trying to replicate the look. As I have automatic logon set to 'yes' there are three stages. Have changed the boot option menu graphic OK and workspace upstream but am struggling with the middle part. This still shows the suse green. which file I need to change?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running a Linux firewall (IPcop) to bridge two networks. Hosts on network A have to use a proxy server in order to get online. This server runs a transparent proxy (squid) configured to use the proxy needed to connect to the internet as an upstream proxy, therefore meaning all the hosts on network B can connect to the internet without the user having to configure a proxy address.
The problem is that HTTPS also has to go through the upstream proxy, which I'm told can't be proxied by my server transparently because of security issues. This means that hosts on network B can't currently access HTTPS sites.
I'm trying to build kernel 2.6.33-rc8 according to the documentation here: [URL] , but at a late stage in the compilation, I'm encountering the following error:

I am looking for an upstream kernel in hope that a few bugs are ironed out in my Lucid Kubuntu install. I tried about 2 weeks ago to get a precompiled kerel from the upstream kernel PPA [URL] but the problem is that it was built with gcc 4.2 and lucid comes with gcc 4.4 a little bit sub-moronic considering that Lucid won't accept modules built with a different compiler. I am also a little sub-moronic as I don't know how to tell if todays kernel is still being built with the 4.2 compiler, I downloaded the build.log file but I can't find any references to gcc 4.2 but as I said when I installed and tried build my Nvidia modules - no dice.
It says it needs either a kernel built with gcc 4.4 or something else. I would rebuild from scratch but I only have 1mb left for the next 10 days then my isp charges me 10c per meg, so I don't want to download the 400mb for the ncurses etc etc (thats the size it told me from aptitude to get just the additional packages and then i would need the kernel source...) They are still using gcc 4.2, and why? Where there is an official prebuilt kernel 64bit built with gcc 4.4???? or is this just another great bug that I must put up with.
I really dislike the ubuntu patches in lucid on the system tray, does anyone know if a ppa exists which has the upstream default or how I could unpatch the ubuntu package to upstream default?

I'm trying to use Debian Stable with some newer upstream packages. I've got the upstream Firefox tarball unbacked in /home/firefox/. The problem is that it can't find any plugins, flash or anything else. It's the 64 bit binary but still needed some 32 bit libraries to run. Does it need 32 bit plugins?
Iceweasel is uninstalled and and I deleted it's ./mozilla/ directory. I tried creating a /home/.mozilla/plugins/ directory and symlinking plugins into that and pretty much any other conceivable path where it could be looking for them.
I run upstream firefox from /home/ in the past and had no problems.
Here's the setup I have:
Linksys wrt400n (wrt54gs same issue)
Laptop with wireless n nic running ubuntu 10.04 (all updates)
PS3 connecting wirelessly to linksys (all updates)
If I run PS3 media server on my laptop wirelessly,I cannot stream up more than 2 Mpbs to the PS3. If I connect wired, I have no issues.
I've checked quite a bit about PS3 media server and confirmed that upnp is turned off (and turned on in past, no change). Nothing I've done seems to resolve the issue.I purchased a new router recently and both it and the old g have this issue so I'm pretty sure it isn't the wireless routers. how I can trace down this 2 Mbps cap when uploading wirelessly?
I have several servers that we have bonded some NICs for rundancy and they will of course switch from primary to secondary NIC if connection state is lost to the switches they are physically connected to, but is there any way to be able to sense upstream connectivity (off switch) for each NIC and failover even though the NIC itself has a connection state to the switch it is plugged into? We are using Dell managed switches on VLANs with trunking.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe last few bugs I have reported on launchpad have met the response "submit it upstream". What's the point of submitting bugs on launchpad if the bug has to be reported again upstream anyway? Why not just report upstream in the first place and forget launchpad?
It seems like unnecessary duplication of effort. So can anyone give me some genuine reasons to bother reporting in launchpad?
I installed Opensuse 11.3 on a separate partition to vista on my Acer 5115. It runs fine but the GRUB boot loader failed to show the Vista OS. I tried to add it by editing menu.As far as I can see (and I don't have much experience with these things) the Vista OS is there, on sda5, but doesn't boot correctly because the winload.exe is in the wrong directory. Why the sdax numbers are all rearranged is a mystery too, but I have reinstalled vista several times so that could be why.I don't have a vista recovery cd (wasn't given one), is there any way to fix this within opensuse (which works fine)?

This isn't really a problem or an issue but I'm kinda curious about it. I thought openSUSE generate a hostname like "linux-xxxx" when you install it and that was it. But for me it generates a new host name every time I turn on my computer. For example, right now it's "oseiler-linux" yesterday it was "mac-sophia". I'm wondering how it generates these kinds of hostnames.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm slowly getting used to Gnome 3 and trying to give it a chance. After a few oddities (like it swallowing my Gnome Shell and Tilda invocations because I use Super in them) then I think I'm slowly getting used to it. There are still some things I miss from Compiz, but it has potential and I like some bits (the notifications and dialogs).I don't know what got upgraded, but my themes seemed to be working before yet today I've got the default Sonar rather than my darker Sonar theme with a fixed Chromium style. I've managed to change the titlebar theme, but I can't change the GTK theme or the icon theme.
Running "gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme" reports "Tango-green", but I still have the default icon theme and using Appearances only partially works.Running "gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme" reports "SonarLighter" (the menu bar is lighter to match the Uniq theme) but I'm definitely seeing Sonar.I've tried gnome-tweak-tool from someone's OBS, but various dependencies seem to be missing (first it bails with the wrong GI version, then I updated some other bits and tried again, but even after switching a dozen or more packages then it never started).
On my newly upgraded opensuse 11.4 with GNOME,was trying to change my default mail client. I go into Preferred Applications and under email, all it lists is Evolution.

So I googled that problem and found that it's a bug in Gnome. I found a few ideas for workarounds but I could never get any to work
