In order to provide a better service to the existing openSUSE Community and to our new users, we’re pleased to announce that suseforums.net, suselinuxsupport.de and the openSUSE support forums at forums.novell.com (the three largest English speaking dedicated SUSE forums) are joining forces to merge into the new official openSUSE Forums at forums.opensuse.org.
Flyback, the project has been working on developing an rsync-based GUI solution for Linux with Time Machine as the model. FlyBack is a snapshot-based backup tool based on rsync It creates successive backup directories mirroring the files you wish to backup. FlyBack creates incremental backups of files which can be restored at a later date. It also supports limited restoration of files within applications that are specifically programmed to use Time Machine’s functionality.
In Linux, there are three main search commands: find, locate and whereis. Each is a little different in terms of how and what they search. So when it is appropriate to use one over the others?
A collection of major changes and additions characterizing the current openSUSE Linux 10.3 release:
openSUSE Packages have often been hard to locate and scattered over many domains. The Package Search enables users to easily locate all software packaged for openSUSE.
I was trying to do a simple thing with AVI file made by my digital camera, I wanted to rotate it by 90 degrees. Out of the box there no tool that could do this simple task on OpenSUSE 10.2. I start searching internet for answers. I found this article: The Status of Home Video Editing on Linux & Unix. There is a list of tools I might potentially use there.
BasKet is multi-purpose note-taking software with a flexible interface and great organization.
If you already use another note-taking app I have some good news, BasKet lets you bring your existing notes with you. Data can be imported from KNotes, KJots, Tuxcards, Sticky Notes, or Tomboy. If you decide that BasKet isn’t the program for you, it’s also easy to switch back because none of the original data is modified and new notes can be exported as HTML.
And speaking of exporting as HTML, this capability also makes BasKet a quick and easy WYSIWYG HTML editor. The formatting that you see in the note is preserved in the HTML. While this doesn’t mean that you should use BasKet as your web page editor for anything in depth, it could be used for quick and dirty pages that just need to get done.

Last night I decided to update my desktop machine to SuSE 10.1. Update process crashed once during uninstallation of packages but second run was successful. Almost, when I checked in the morning it could not get updates from internet. It looks like there are problems with NIC card. I rebooted and I did not have network device. Weird, cause it has been working for months without problems.
My machine is Shuttle SN95G5 with nForce3 chipset and Marvell 8001 Gigabit Ethernet adapter. After upgrade it tries to load sk98lin module (SysKonnect???) and it fails with following message: “Csk98lin: Could not read VPD data. sk98lin: probe of … failed with error -5″
