========================================================================================================================

ftp://ftp.skynet.be/pub/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse/distribution/10.2/reppo/non-oss
(ftp.skynet.be -> 195.238.1.7)
- partition: reiserfs
- disabled IPv6
- Keyboard - belgium
- Monitor DELLP790 self-detected, 1280-1024x85Hz, 91kHz - centering ok but not same as windows...
- package: tried to keep it small, ie. KDE, no Gnome! (created conflicts in 10.0), kdevelop, ...
--> Overall impression, system looks to run faster (apps load much faster)
Difference SuSE 10.0
--------------------
- Where is the KDE Control center???
- Can't find it when click right on desktop
- --> in KDE menu, favorites, "Configure Desktop - Personal settings"
- --> also available at url "settings:/"

- Wine: Download all winetools associated download (for further retrieval as http server if needed)
- Wine: install synchronizeit, office, ?...
- Kontact: Enable outlook-compabible attachment naming (Kontact -> Composer -> Attachment) ?
- Gnupg: see if gpg must be setuid to enable secure memory http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/documentation/faqs.html (look for 'setuid')
- KMail / Gnupg: see if I can use OpenPGP (previously known as MIME/PGP) when sending to outlook (incl. attachment !!!)
Pending issue
-------------
- Personal settings - Style - where is gone Thin Keramik ?
- Personal settings - Window decoration - Keramik -> close button has some slack space <-> upper right corner even when maximized. SUSE2 doesn't have this problem.
- RGB Hinting ?
- Samba sharing doesn't work
- MathML fonts: We aren't supposed to use the Windows symbol.ttf.
- MathML fonts: double-struk fonts mismatch (C,N,P,... different than other fonts) (see LaTeXMathML example page by Mike)
- Opera: KDE reserved some shortcut (like Ctrl-F8), hence these will not work unless changing KDE shortcuts.
- Adding /tmp/packages as installation source broken synchronization with ZENworks (-> can't parse XML metadata)
- Added OpenPGP key to 2x identities in Kontact, but scarlet.be identity not in list of email of key -> might create warning at receiver side.
- MIME settings for OpenPGP in Kontact doesn't seems correct - test it; 20070209: tried inline MIME encoding
- Wine: cdrom at /mnt/cdrom???
- Wine: modify SFMIRROR if winetools not working
- Wine: Windows version is set to win98 -> try to switch to W2K ?
- Wine: ~/winetools mapped to F: in Wine. Map /windows/F instead unless wine/winetools need it (some fonts installed there...)
- Wine - CompareIt: Konqueror action doesn't work if URL contains : (winepath can't interpret them correctly)
- Bug - kmix - had to add MasterMixerDevice=0 in kmixrc (http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-bugs-dist&m=116535192822980&w=2) - alt sol: deselect/reselect maxter channel
Issue solved/Done
-----------------
- solved as of 20070205 (since switch to SUSE 10.2): MathML fonts: zoom x 2 on an integral --> bad sizing of the integral, exp, indices badly positioned.
- Done: installed fuse + ntfs-3g for ntfs RW access (ntfs-3g seems better than captive-ntfs; see ntfs-3g performance http://www.ntfs-3g.org/performance.html)
- Done: Knoppix 5.1: burned CD; very good support of ntfs (ntfs-3g) - partimage 0.6.4 available - very good support of wine (--> DVDShrink 3.2 works flawless)
Bugs
----
- Theme manager: theme name must not contain space or dots; background image must not contain space
- Konqueror file assoc: opening .html file in firefox doesn't work if path has space
Additional Installation Sources:
-------------------------------
See SUSE 10.0 log (also hacking stuff, etc).
Font system:
-----------
- base X11 fonts -> /usr/share/fonts (was /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts in SUSE 10.0)
- local system fonts -> /usr/local/share/fonts
- user fonts -> ~/.fonts
- Better use YaST to add fonts (-> automatically update fonts.dir, ... files)
- MathML font: See www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts
Kernel compilation
------------------
See SUSE 10.0 log for more information (usings kernel symbols, etc)
Notes:
-----
- Installing Lucida Sans Unicode (file L_10646.ttf) seems a bad idea because it interfers with other math fonts. (now all variable looks like Lucida!!!)
- Download big file with 'wget -c URL'. Do it again if download was interrupt and to resume download.
- Reiserfs seems really more performant than ext2/ext3 (see http://www.ntfs-3g.org/performance.html)
Improvements since SUSE10.0
---------------------------
- System much faster. Login almost instantaneous, app loads faster. Seems to be related of disk access (due to reiserfs) but also may be pre-loading of some library?
- YaST software management. Now a nice progress bar for the difference installation source that is refreshed !
- YaST software management. Now system config is automatically updated after packages are installed (no intermediate click)
Konqueror
---------
- Use KDCOP/ DCOP for accessing API available for use (see http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/dot/servicemenus.html)
FireFox
-------
- Install AddOn Live Http Headers ?
KDevelop
--------
- enable CTAGS -> set /usr/bin/ctags as path in project options, enable ctags, go to ctags bottom panel, click generate (alt: force alt. ctags file in project options)
- Ctrl-Shift-F -> enable full screen (very handy)
- flag for Optimized build not correct: should be -O3 -g0 (instead of -O2 -g0) !!!
- to also get all warning when compiling, add CFFFLAGS: -Wall -Wextra
FTP Server
----------
- vsftpd configured to run in listen mode. Just call /usr/sbin/vsftpd in the command-line to start the ftp server (sftp is working as well)
Kontact
-------
- KGpg: To permanently decrypt emails, move it to draft folder, decrypt text, then move back email to original folder
Autopackage
-----------
- Seems excellent (used to install glGo).
