openSUSE 12.2 and 12.3 is using Grub2 by default and Grub2 has a whole new command set to learn. In order to help us all better use Grub2, I have put together a small script that shows all 24 commands I have found. When a command is selected, its default help, if present, will be displayed for you. You can then enter any command options for that command and press the enter key for them to be executed, as root, or just press the enter key to look at another command. In addition, I have found and allow you to view ...

SCREENSHOTS:



SysdCmd is a bash script intended to be used in openSUSE and tested with openSUSE version 12.3. I have included all of the features I feel openSUSE users will likely want in a bash script intended to help you learn how to use and work with systemd. SysdCmd will install the following standard openSUSE packages: systemd-ui, systemd-analyze and graphviz all of which will require root user access. The online document at http://paste.opensuse.org/view/download/97195318 will be downloaded as the file $HOME/Documents/systemd_service_file_document.txt. An online check will be made before these actions are taken. In addition if the online check is successful, three online documents can be read. You can disable the online check as well as the download of the three openSUSE packages, the online text file download and online reading of the ...

Introduction:


Thisdocument will explain how to set-up a basic digital audio workstation, DAW, using OpenSuSE. There will be manyadjustments and improvements one further may do to optimise thesystem in regards real-time audio which this guide not will cover,however, links will be provided in-text when relevant and at the endfor more in-depth reading, if one wish to enter deeper into thematerial.


Thatsaid, the settings and configuration explained here should be sufficient to get a decent foundation and starting point to buildupon, both concerning system set-up and knowledge. Note also thatthis guide will not make use of PulseAudio; if one wish touse PulseAudio most of the configuration explained in thisdocument will still be relevant, and there will be references onemay consult on how to proceed further to tune the system when usingPulseAudio alongside JACK.


Thisdocument will mainly use OpenSuSE 12.2 as reference, but in regard configuration and system settings it should be quite version independent.

Preconditions:


Thisdocument will assume that the reader is familiar with the basics of GNU-Linux and in particular OpenSuSE, i.e.directory structure, how to operate as super-user/root,using YaST, installing packages, creating and editingconfiguration files etc.


Thedocument will also assume that one has an up and running OpenSuSEsystem with one or several audio-devices functioning.

Otherwise,open a terminal and type in this command to find out which sound-devices which are installed on the computer:

• #cat /proc/asound/cards

andconsult this link to see if the sound-device is supported:

• ALSA Souncard Matrix

andthese links for setting up the SuSEbox for multimedia usage: ...

Introduction

Synergy is an application that lets you control a number of computers with the one mouse and keyboard. You can mix windows, Linux and/or Apple computers. You can have more than two computers controlled simultaneously. I describe here only how to get a Linux and a windows computer running together.

Here's the Synergy User Guide.

I use Synergy to run only two computers side by side, one running openSUSE 12.3 and one running windows 7. Sadly I need windows operating simultaneously with Linux for my work (after all, it's a real world out there). It would be simpler to import the windows desktop into the openSUSE screen with RDP and Rdesktop. But I need the openSUSE screen to remain ...
