ps2 optical mouse

It is sooo strange but this Logitech optical doesnt work on OpenSuse 10.0 and you have to act a trick. I hate this cause people get far from linux when they get problems like this =( and I HATE this... wanna see linux on every machine I sell and I hope this for the future.
Anyway this is the trick:

open Yast -> System -> bootloader configuration
modify the boot option and add psmouse.proto=imps to Other Kernel Parameters
reboot

and that's it!

enjoy your suse

ipv6 problems AGAIN

AGAIN since 9.1 version, ipv6 still break your internet connection, delaying DNS answere and giving the TIMEOUT ERROR!

To disable this annoying thing, just edit /etc/modules.conf, go to the line containing "net-pf-10 ipv6" and change to "net-pf-10 off".
Restart your machine and the world will smile again!

happy suse!

use common YaST sources on every PC

If you want to transfer all YaST source installation settings to another machine without adding every source manually copy this folder from the configured machine to the other one :)

/var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager

enjoy your suse!
