Here is my version of a “cheat-sheet” for installing iFolder3.6 on Opensuse10.3. This cheat-sheet kinda’ leaves you out on your own once you get to the part about running the configuration script (see below), but I don’t want to over-do it here and try to help you with every option you could possibly choose. Other [...]
I got a question from reader David B., who writes: I’m running 64-bit OpenSuSE 10.3 on an Opteron 185 system. On Saturday, Thunderbird was working just fine in my normal user login. I ran the OpenSuSE Updater which updated Thunderbird to v2.0.0.12, but didn’t try launching it before shutting the system down. Booting up on [...]
For those of you running compiz and all those flashy graphics on Opensuse 10.3, there were some X11 updates that were pushed out last night that may have affected your whiz-bang graphics…. I had fire, water and cubes last night. After some automatic updates, this morning I got nothing from my regular Ctrl+Alt+Right. Drat. Fortunately, [...]
Since I mentioned zmd (and database corruption) in the last post, I thought I’d go on to mention that I — like you and everyone else out there — am not really fond of zmd/rug as the default update mechanism on Opensuse 10.2 and previous. The good news is that Suse themselves apparently were not [...]
…submitted by Brian, here’s his original question: “Have you tried, or had any luck installing the Novell Client on this distro yet?” Brian goes on to explain that he is running 64-bit, and having dependency-related install errors with the client. So just to come clean here, let me state that for this post/discussion/experiment I’m using [...]
Did you notice the theme here as of late? Can you tell I’m gradually going through all kinds of software installs on my new Opensuse10.3 laptop? Are you noticing that nothing I try to re-install from Opensuse10.2 seems to work on 10.3? Here’s another example: The Cisco VPN client. I’ve been using version 4.8.00.0490-k9 on [...]
I know, I know. Use iManager. Whatever. Look — No matter whether you like it or not, Console1 is still an important tool to us Novell administrators. And that is why I installed it on my Opensuse10.3 machine, and ran into this problem… The problem is the new Java jre that’s in the Opensuse10.3 distro [...]
I admit it. I thought I was out of luck. Let me explain… You see, I run various versions of iFolder3 servers (home is 3.4, corporate is 3.2, customers, etc) that I depend on. But, I could not resist jumping to Opensuse10.3 as soon as it came out. Right after getting the OS installed, migrating [...]
