Mission: Get Bluetooth Stereo Headset Working in Linux. Current Status: EPIC FAIL
I’ve owned a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 for nearly 2 years now, and I use it pretty often with my previous phone ( the Sony Ericsson P1i ), and my current iPhone 3G. I also use it occasionally on my laptop. It has worked fine in Windows XP, Vista & Windows 7. Getting it to [...]
Changing the GNOME Menu panel in openSUSE GNOME back to Gnome defaults
Seems like lot of openSUSE Gnome users don’t like the new Gnome panel, which is radically different interface from the traditional Menu bar with Applications/Places/System entries. Personally I prefer the new style, perhaps because I’m used to the openSUSE Kickoff panel, and I really dig the search feature
Updating to openSUSE 11.2
As mentioned openSUSE 11.2 is now available. If you’re on previous versions of openSUSE you can do an inplace upgrade to 11.2 by using zypper.
openSUSE 11.0/openSUSE 11.1
Just change the repos to mention 11.2 instead of 11.0/11.1, as shown in the pic:
openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 8 And Release Candidates(RC) add boot from USB flash disk option, here’s how to use it

You can download openSUSE via HTTP, FTP or via BitTorrent, [...]
[How-To] Changing The New Kickoff Menu to Traditional Menu
The release KDE4 brought in the new kickoff menu, the slab-style menu which was first introduced in openSUSE 10.2. The premise is simple – instead of unfolding menu after menu, the submenu opens within the menu itself. What makes the Kickoff a killer is the inclusion of search.
While I love Kickoff menu and can’t live [...]
Presenting openSUSE 11.0
After a long, long wait for SUSE maniacs like me, its finally here: Presenting the latest version of openSUSE, openSUSE 11.0
