SUSE has been around almost since the dawn of consumer-level desktop Linux, and openSUSE 11 upholds the SUSE reputation for having not just a wide range of available applications, but also excellent documentation and a fine user-to-user support community. For this video we chose the KDE 4.x desktop option. KDE 3.5x and GNOME are also available as defaults in openSUSE.
Hi,
I installed OpenSuse 12.1 on my Dell 690 (X2 dual core Xeon 2.66GHZ, 8G RAM 667 FBDIMM quad channel, 500G at striping RAID (2X 250G SATA), nVidia Quadro FX 3400).
All installation was smooth, took less than 15 minutes. But when I'm trying to login, instead of showing me the desktop... (1 Reply)
please i would like to uninstall the KDE desktop in my fedora 11,previously i was using the default gnome desktop,i want to revert to gnome desktop (2 Replies)

Additional module options. At the moment these are:
--listrepos
list all available repositories
--repos=REPO, -r REPO
select a repository to search (use a name from the --listrepos output)
DESCRIPTION
Scout is a tool to look for uninstalled packages. For example, which binary does a package provide, which Java classes are available and
which autoconf macros does a package contain.
To search for your requested term, you need index data files which are a preconfigured SQLite 3 database. You have to install these in
order to get your search request done. Use the Scout OBS data repository[1] to get additional index files. See the Wiki page about Scout[2]
for more information.
EXAMPLE 1: SEARCH FOR EXECUTABLES
For example, to search for a sdl-config executable, you need the bin module:
$ scout bin sdl-config
You get the following output:
repository | binary | path | package
------------+------------+-----------------------------+-----------------
suse110 | sdl-config | /usr/bin | SDL-devel
suse110 | sdl-config | /usr/lib/baselibs-32bit/bin | SDL-devel-32bit
EXAMPLE 2: SEARCH FOR JAVA PACKAGES
If you want to search for a Java package, use the following code:
$ scout java org.apache.xml.serialize.Serializer
You get:
repository | package | jar | class
------------+------------------+---------------------+------------------------------------------------
jpackage17 | jboss4-testsuite | xerces.jar | org.apache.xml.serialize.Serializer
jpackage17 | jboss4-testsuite | xerces.jar | org.apache.xml.serialize.SerializerFactory
jpackage17 | jboss4-testsuite | xerces.jar | org.apache.xml.serialize.SerializerFactoryImpl
jpackage17 | xerces-j2 | xerces-j2-2.9.0.jar | org.apache.xml.serialize.Serializer
jpackage17 | xerces-j2 | xerces-j2-2.9.0.jar | org.apache.xml.serialize.SerializerFactory
jpackage17 | xerces-j2 | xerces-j2-2.9.0.jar | org.apache.xml.serialize.SerializerFactoryImpl
EXAMPLE 3: SEARCH THROUGH WEBPIN
If you want to use the openSUSE Search Webservice[3]--also known as "Webpin"--use the following line:
$ scout webpin docbook_5.xml
You get:
package | version | arch | repository URL | matched files
-----------+---------+--------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+------------------------
docbook_5 | 5.0 | noarch | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse | /etc/xml/docbook_5.xml
docbook_5 | 5.0CR7 | noarch | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/thomas-schraitle/openSUSE_Factory | /etc/xml/docbook_5.xml
docbook_5 | 5.0 | noarch | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/XML/xml-factory | /etc/xml/docbook_5.xml
BASH COMPLETION
If you like to complete your options automatically through Bash, insert the following lines into your ~/.bashrc or /etc/bash.bashrc:
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion.d/scout.sh ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion.d/scout.sh
fi
