how to set up 'no need for ability to handle multiple users on machine'
If I know that "root", which is me and ONLY ONE single user called "toby", which is also me, are using my computer, then a home/toby directory seems superflous, since there will never be any other user than toby using this PC. I would like to simplify in this situation, so that the home directory or the root dire... 15 Jan 2008 05:11

rpm --install fails behind a http proxy
Hello I just recently switch from Kubuntu to Suse Enterprise Linux 10. I've run into a small problem registering repositories. I can't seem to use the rpm command to do so. I've setup proxy communications using Yast and tested it successfully. When I use the rpm command, it fails: douglas(a)jasper:~$ rpm -... 12 Jan 2008 19:19

SLED 10: rpm --install beind a proxy
I just gave up on Ubuntu and I'm trying to setup SLED 10. [mostly due to the hostile attitude of the development community] I'm having a minor issue with importing a repository. I have an HTTP proxy on my network and have setup and tested this using Yast. The test succeeded and it indicated that command line u... 13 Jan 2008 01:29

SSH with PuTTY - Home/End keys don't work
When I login using SSH to an openSUSE 10.3 machine from another Unix machine with the 'ssh' client, all is fine; the Home and End keys work. However, when I login from a Windows machine using the PuTTY client, those keys won't work. I tried every possible configuration in PuTTY to no avail. On other machi... 15 Jan 2008 08:15

KDE 4 Startmenu
Hello, With openSUSE 10.3 a new style start menu for KDE 3 where introduced - and after a few performance enhancing fixes I started to like it. Now KDE 4 has a similar style menu which would have been good news - only - unlike the KDE 3 version - you can't re-size it. I got a 24" flat screen, plenty of space f... 22 Jan 2008 06:38

KDE Taskbar
Hi, today I tried out KDE4 with my openSUSE 10.3 for the first time and I hated it right away. Problem: I don't like the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen and so the first thing I do is move the Taksbar to the top. But I could not. It was fixed to to bottom, I could not drag it. I looked for an (windows like... 16 Jan 2008 03:08

Upgrade 10.0 to 10.3 hangs?
Hi I've downloaded the OpenSUSE-10.3-GM-KDE.i386.iso file from OpenSUSE.org, burnt it to CD and started the upgrade. The process runs upto the point where the Package Installation screen is shown. The system sits at this point for 15-20mins with no progress indication and then pops up a display saying that there... 14 Jan 2008 15:38

Configuring mouseclick
Hi, How can I change the behaviour of my mouseclick? At the moment it is set to 'one click=execute'. I would like to change that to 'one click=select'. I looked in Konqueror, and in Yast, but could not find a place to change this behaviour. Where should I look next? TIA, Abel ... 12 Jan 2008 01:37

konqueror to remember my view
Ho can I get konqueror to remember that I prefer to see the files in 'detailed' view, once I leave konqueror and start it again? It seems that my window size is remembered (probably by kde). thanks Toby ... 12 Jan 2008 23:48

KDE4
It seems that some conflicts exist between svn versions and 4.0 final versions. Maybe a few more days until everything changes to final (4.0-x) version. So far the one thing I found irritating was the 'heartbeat' sound everytime something (focus) changes. It's enough to give ya a heart attack ! Anyway, as no ... 13 Jan 2008 08:56
