Re: Desktop Broken Solved .....partly

Thanks for your suggestions. Tried renaming .kde4 and logging out/in - but no luck. I stumbled across another solution however. Selecting Toobox - top RH corner of the screen, then Add Panel > Rocketbar. This triggered my (absent) Panel back into life, along with the Welcome, Applications and TimeFr...

Re: Console TAB auto-complete not working

This seems to have resolved itself.

Not sure if it had any impact but I installed rxvt and xterm. Some time later the auto-complete started working correctly.



NB I spoke too soon - problem still exists.

Console TAB auto-complete not working

Rosa 2012 This may have been covered before - if so my apologies. When using konsole - TAB completion stalls for some situations. For example if using urpmi "some rpm file" and typing the first few letters of the rpm name - the auto-complete will not work. There is a time lapse before anything happe...

Where 32bit Mesa ?

Can anyone point me to a 32bit Mesa package that will work for Rosa 2012 ? I need this for a software package that I want to run on Rosa. The software is looking for libGLU. From memory it will not work with 64bits libGLU.

Re: Wireless Broadband on Rosa 2012

I think this is resolved. In my last boot of Rosa 2012, I selected Broadband Wireless at the bottom of the NetworkManager dialogue box. This enabled me to set up Wireless Networking in NetworkManager > Manage Connections. More testing is needed but so far - so good.
