Suse

Was I hacked?
Being impatient for the new openSuse release, I decided to check an old hard drive to see if anything valuable was on it and install openSuse RC1 for the interim 15 days. On the root level of the disk (where I had run openSuse 11.1) I see a 0k file named, ?mypassword?, not actually the words: mypassword, but m... 29 Jun 2010 22:53

Scrolling is very jumpy in Firefox and Kate
11.2 32 bit, kde 4.x (default) Using the same mouse I've used for a couple of years with no problems, and a new one that work fine on other systems, moving the scroll wheel will jump, often in the reverse direction, and never with smooth flow. As long as the file has more than a screen window of lines, it won't... 29 Jun 2010 15:09

Root growing
My root partition keeps getting larger every day and while I'm not installing new software to account for this growth, I wonder what's causing it to balloon like this. The default sizing for the openSuse installation was a 20-gig partition. I expanded it to 32 gigs to keep the system from freezing and provide ... 1 Jul 2010 12:11

About licenses and copyrights
Hi, I would need some guidance. I am thinking about developing an integrated development environment for Byvac BV513 and other it's products. My idea was to base it on Qt-creator (from Nokia). I think what I need to do is a fork. I will need to change the name. But what about the copyrights of the Nokia? I... 4 Jul 2010 12:15
