Some openSUSE 10.3 Hints

beineri's picture

Let me share some hints for openSUSE 10.3 which just came to my mind:

  • If you use GNOME and eg don't like the yast2-gtk package selector or miss the powerful Qt package selector, install the yast2-qt package and set in /etc/sysconfig/yast2 the WANTED_GUI variable to "qt".
  • If you want the Crystal-style YaST icons back, replace the yast2-theme-openSUSE with the yast2-theme-openSUSE-Crystal package.
  • If you miss the photo wallpapers, they have been moved to the desktop-data-SuSE-extra sub-package.
  • For really old wallpapers, think SuSE Linux 9.1, install the gos-wallpapers package.
  • And this seems to be the biggest complaint of some people: you can make the Geeko of the KDE start menu roll its eyes again:
    kwriteconfig --file kickerrc --group General --key KickoffDrawGeekoEye true"

dcop kicker Panel restart
but it doens't work for me.In 10.2 i was able to change them.

That's known as bug #327501.

Yeah, we reverted the patch which made this possible for a reason I don't remember atm.

yast2-theme-openSUSE-Crystal

Seems like the meta package yast2_basis depends on yast2-theme-openSUSE, I can't replace yast2-theme-openSUSE with yast2-theme-openSUSE-Crystal Sad

Re: yast2-theme-openSUSE-Crystal

Choose "Anforderung wird hier ignoriert"/"Ignore this requirement just here" and it will not deinstall any other package.
