[opensuse-factory] GRUB language and keyboard layout
by Xavier Callejas 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

Hi, I use the spanish language, but my keyboard layout is US, I would like that openSUSE GRUB's boot menu could have options for setting the language and the keyboard layout; currently if you select a language (with F2 key) it change the keyboard layout also (maybe an additional F-key fo this?) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Repeating characters with single key press (is it KDE4 or VNC?)
by David C. Rankin 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

List, I am having a repeating character problem with KDE 4 and vncserver. This didn't happen when icewm was the WM over VNC, but I don't know if this is pure KDE4 or whether VNC is part of the problem. Working in kmail and even in konsole on Beta5, I was having significant problems with characters repeating them selves 10-20 times on a single key press. This affected not only ALNUM characters but return and all others. I would have this occur, then pay particular care to a proper single key press with no possibility for a double tap and no possibility of holding the key down past the repeat time setting and still I would get 8-20 characters for one. Even pressing [prt screen] on the vncviewer would cause 2 instances of ksnapshot to appear. One on the client and one on the vncserver 11.1 box. A screen shot showing both the repeated character problem and the second ksnapshot instance opened is here: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/repeating-chars-host.jpg -- David C.

[opensuse-factory] kmail - gnupg key retrieval dialogs cover each other
by David C. Rankin 17 Nov '08

List, 11.1B5, kmail -> identities -> Your openPGP Keys -> search for: causes 2 dialogs to be opened, "kmail Fetching Keys" and "kmail Checking selected keys..". The problem is the dialogs are exactly the same size and the "kmail Checking selected keys.." is placed directly on top of the "kmail Fetching Keys" dialog.

[opensuse-factory] Kudos to the Developers for Leaving KDE3 core apps in KDE4
by David C. Rankin 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

List, Developers: In looking for issues with B5, most of my posts concern problems and not the good things I see with the KDE4 transition. The foresight to include kwrite3, kate3, and other fully functional KDE3 core apps was a great decision and should continue until the KDE4 apps get up to speed. Thank you! -- David C.

Re: [opensuse-factory] Installation of openSUSE 11.1 Beta 4 in VirtualBox 2.0.4 (Windows XP host) and Video Memory
by Ricardo Dias Marques 16 Nov '08

16 Nov '08

Hi Thorolf, On Thu, Nov 6, 2008, I wrote that, when trying to install openSUSE 11.1 Beta 4 (burned on a DVD) in a VirtualBox 2.0.4. virtual machine (host running Windows XP Professional SP3), with the"default" Video Memory (8 MB), the following happened: >> I selected the "Installation" option. A dialog box appeared saying >> "Starting... Loading Linux Kernel" and a progress bar ran from 0% to >> 100%. When it reached the 100%, the screen went completely BLACK! ... and on the same day, Thorolf Godawa replied: > you have tried to install in text mode? > > I only know that in the past there where problems with the splash > screen, but I think that this is an other problem. Thanks for the feedback. I did *not* try to install in text mode because I managed to work around the problem by increasing the video memory from the default (8 MB) to 16 MB (as I mentioned in my original message). Meanwhile, I have downloaded openSUSE 11.1. Beta 5 and the problem did NOT happen this time: when I clicked "Installation" the screen did become black for 5 seconds or so, but then the logo with the word "openSUSE" did appear (centered in a green background) and the installation went normally from beginning to end. At the end of the installation, I *did* "bump" into another problem, but that one has already been reported (and listed as one of the "Most Annoying Bugs" in openSUSE 11.1), namely: Bug 444747 - vboxmouse is not working (GNOME and KDE4 LiveCDs https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444747 Thanks for trying to help Thorolf! :) Best wishes, Ricardo Dias Marques lists AT ricmarques DOT net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] virtualising beta versions
by manchette 16 Nov '08

16 Nov '08

Hello, i tried in virtualbox the kde live cd iso of 11.1 beta 5, the mouse is not captured correctly , the keyboard works so i could close the welcome notice, but the mouse does not work under virtualbox : it keeps capturing it each time i click, it did me the same with fedora 9 live cd .This might only be linked with virtualbox and not to opensuse but it does not help potential testers, notice that i also tried sidux ourea kde lite and the mouse was perfectly usable, managed by the system and not even needed to be captured by virtualbox. Is this possible to implement this in opensuse ? Fabrice -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi all, i was testing OpenSUSE beta 5 and I noticed something, If you start Firefox for the first time and do a middle click you go the the website that is on the clipboard. Well if you do that you go to http://www.apple.com! WTF!?

[opensuse-factory] icewm & vncserver
by David C. Rankin 16 Nov '08

16 Nov '08

List, There are two issues with vncserver: (1) vncserver does not exit cleanly and remove the vncviewer window on the client requiring that either the client kill the vncviewer window (which leaves a dead vncserver on the server, or you must ssh into the host running vncserver and manually kill the stuck session with vncserver -kill :1. After issuing the vncserver -kill, the vncviewer window is properly removed from the client machine. NOTE - the above is independent of the WM chosen for vncserver. It happens regardless of whether you have chosen TWM, icewm or kde as your desktop in ~/.vnc/xstartup (2) resizing windows in icewm as the windows manager for vncserver while using the title bar of a window to shrink or grow the windows smaller or bigger crashes the vncviewer session. -- David C.

[opensuse-factory] Graphic subsystem problem...
by Fred A. Miller 16 Nov '08

16 Nov '08

After some more testing, it's obvious that the "slowness" and locking up of the 11.1b5 KDE 4.1 desktop is either the Intel video driver or problems in "x"....I suspect the later.

[opensuse-factory] Review of 11.1 Beta 5; KDE 4
by David C. Rankin 16 Nov '08

16 Nov '08

Developers: I have downloaded and installed openSUSE-11.1-Beta5-DVD-x86_64.iso and verified the md5sum as correct. The install is on: Setup: M/B: K9N2 SLI Platinum CPU: AMD Phenom Black Box Quad Core (125W) GPU: evga eGeForce 8800GT RAM: 4G OCZ Platinum Drives: Current Install of 11.0 x86_64 Two Seagate 500G (ST3500630AS), sda,sdb RAID1 on SATA 1,2 Current Install of 11.1 Beta5 x86_64 One Seagate 500G (ST3500630AS), sdc DVD: LG GH22LS30 PSU: HEC Zypher 750 UPS: APC BP650 (com1, /dev/ttyS0) O/S: openSuSE 11.0 x86_64 Case: Antec 182SE, 3 120mm fans The Good: 11.1 Beta 5 install from the full DVD on x86_64 was flawless on a MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum. All defaults as far as screen resolution and partition scheme were used. All components were identified and configured. It recognized my 11.0 RAID1 install and didn't try to alter the partitions on the array. The partitioner partitioned hdc with 20G / and the remainder for /home. Swap was from the RAID. With the fairly extensive full server type package selection, install completed in just under 50 minutes. The install user_packages.xml can be found here: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/user_packages.xml One thing you need to SERIOUSLY consider for 11.1 is to put the ability to install KDE 3 back on the desktop selection page of the install. It was curious that I saw nothing at all about KDE 3 until I was in the detailed package selection part. I'm all for KDE 4, but I don't think it is all for me yet -- see below. The Not Good: After install, I was prompted to update the system and prompted for the root password. After typing in the root password, the updater promptly crashed with "policy-kit Fatal Error..." See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/policykit-kde.kcrash http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/fatal_error-1.jpeg Thankfully, when I restarted yast, online update had the policykit update. However, I don't think it is totally fixed. I was trying to access administrator mode in kde control panel after I had installed the policykit update and kcmshell crashed on me as well. See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/kcmshell.jpeg All in all though, for first impressions of KDE4 on 11.1, I though the KDE 4 desktop looked really cool and I was really ready to get it set up and running and configured the way I would like it. However, the gee whiz soon wore off. One of the first things I do with any desktop is to configure the display with the information I want to see, and set the fonts to something reasonable. For starters, despite my best attempts with sax2, I cannot get my display to change resolution to something other than 800x600. Sax2 allowed me to choose the monitor I have the box connected to at the moment. A NEC Accusync95F, with details set to 19" 5/4 and with the correct size, Horiz. and Vert. freq. ranges. However, sax2 detected my 8800GT as a generic frame buffer card. Sax does allow me to choose the resolution I want 1280x1024, but when I hit test, the screen come up in 800x600 no matter what I do. I have had this problem with XP before, but never with openSuSE. I'm sure a large part of this is due to the fact my 8800 GT was configured as a frame buffer device. Next, the fonts are horrible. Some of the control center dialogs are nearly unreadable. No matter what I change the fonts to under "appearance" "fonts", the fonts continue to look like some old bitstream font, jagged and squashed together horizontally. In administrator mode (that did work this time) I was able to enable subpixel hinting -- nice touch, but it had no effect on the font appearance. Resigning to 800x600 and the ugly fonts, I went to configure the rest of the desktop to enlarge the fonts so I could read what I was looking at. I right-clicked the clock in the taskbar to add the date like I like to see. I enabled the date and applied the change. I looked -- ugh, I can barely see the "Fri. 14 Nov." It looks like it is set to 5pt. type, barely readable on a 19" monitor set at 800x600?? Then I decided I would change the font for the date to make it easier on the eyes. What the heck? Is there no way to change the font on the date?? Nope.. Next, I tried to change the wallpaper. KDE control center, desktop, wallpaper, I selected blue-curl - then apply, then nothing? Huh again.. Why can't I change the wallpaper from the wallpaper drop down in the configure desktop dialog? OK, screensaver. I found it as well. I was able to change the screensaver, but it will not blank the display with, as it had by default, the ACPI settings checked. Working further, I went to set up and configure the way I work with it to add the available pluggins and highlighter themes and such. To my great surprise, there were very few pluggins available that I'm used to using -- code snippets, knosole,,etc. and there was virtually no control for the highlighting choices. Are they in the works? I was relieved to see konqueror on the taskbar. Browsing seemed ok for 20 or 30 minutes, but then konqueror crashed. I was not responsive, so I loaded opera, and then went to the factory repository to get a few more repos added. The konqueror crash took out more than just konqueror, it somehow killed the screen backgrounds' abiity to refresh itself so blank holes in the screen stayed there after windos closing. Reopening konqueror -- konqueror would only display web pages as black (all black) Then I got one of the worst surprises yet. I went in konqueror to save a file similar to one I just saved, but in the save-as dialog you can't do this in KDE 4. In the file dialog, if you choose a prior file to then hopefully add additional text, say maybe filename002.jpg. However, as soon as you select the file, the whole dialog closes and the [overwrite] dialog replaces it without giving you a change to add even a single character to the filename (this is a must fix before 11.1 goes out the door). See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/konqueror-save-as.jpeg An annoyance more than anything drastic is when you open several dialogs in the kde control-center, the (Apply) (cansel) buttons are hidden under the panel and you have to hide the panel to be able to sapply your settings. Next konsole transparent backgroud does not simply keep a transparency over the background to add a little transparency behind the text. Now in KDE4, the entire window becomes transparent and if you have a white dialog behind it like kwrite, the white of the underlying application bleeds through. See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/konsole-bkgtrans-error.jp… Lastly for the first look, the alt+2 run command doesn't work the way it needs to. In KDE 3 you have the ability to "run as a different user" so that you can run kwrite as root for the purose of not having to login a root or edit the files in konsole with sudo. This is a big short coming and should be addressed before the release. Double lastly, I can't put my finger on it, but there is a speed issue with KDE4. When clicking different dialog, notably in KDE control center, you can count to 3 before the next tab on the dialog actually appears. If I'm seeing slowness on a phenom 9850, 4G and an NV8800GT, then it must be really slow on all the earlier pentiums, etc.. What is everyone else seeing? It is real apparent that a lot of great work has been done working to get KDE4 ready for release and it shows. But based on what I see in beta 5, it makes sense to considure slipping 11.1 a little further to make sure these type of issues are fixed before the release. While I was able to pick agound in KDE4 and find everything, and at least understand where the problem were, that would be a task way over the head of a large majority of all userss. Like I said when I started above, we need to seriously consider putting KDE 3 back on th edesktop selection page. More tomorrow, it's time for sleep.

[opensuse-factory] More on kate in 11.1 Beta5
by David C. Rankin 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

Developers, Here are a few more issues discovered with kate: Configure shortcuts is missing some of the normal options. In the shortcuts list there is no switch to command-line available to set. However, the command line shortcut is set to 'F7' by default. The problem with it missing from the list appears when I reassign show konsole as 'F7', I then have no way to go reassign the switch to command line shortcut as 'shift+F7' Further, when setting shortcuts in kate, the window for assigning the shortcut is cut-off at the bottom and then doesn't go away after your done. See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/kate-shortcut-dialog.jpg Running kate from an xterm command line yields the following errors: kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/knotify4 kate(18887): Couldn't start knotify from knotify4.desktop: "KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/knotify4'." kate(18887)/kdeui (KAction) KActionCollection::setComponentData: this does not work on a KActionCollection containing actions! kate(18887)/kdeui (KAction) KActionCollection::setComponentData: this does not work on a KActionCollection containing actions! kate(18887)/kdeui (KAction) KActionCollection::setComponentData: this does not work on a KActionCollection containing actions! kate(18887)/kdeui (KAction) KActionCollection::setComponentData: this does not work on a KActionCollection containing actions! These are just a few discovered from initially working with kate to configure kate. Currently kate is running and is usable, the missing shortcuts, the shortcut set window problem and lack of kate snippets are very noticeable however. -- David C.

Well, I have been trying with the 'thinkpad-acpi' module since months but nothing, it seems it has been broken (in thinkpad-acpi) since a lot of time (until now according to this lastest patch).

Your MD5 sum is correct, and the servers have a file which will (and did) tell you so.

I'm not sure that fixed the problem, probably more that you changed the version of ktorrent to one that doesn't have a patch available for it. :) On Fri, 2008-11-14 at 11:19 -0800, Robert Lewis wrote: > On Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 10:03 AM, Robert Lewis <bob.l.lewis(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > This morning I got the "New software for your system is available" > > notice (red triangle with explanation mark in the middle). > > Clicking on brought up "Available Updates" offering a fix for > > ktorrent: fix for several security issues. > > > > However, attempting to install it puts me into a recursive loop > > where the notice to install never goes away and keeps telling > > me about this patch. > > > > Something is wrong!

I've found this happens quite frequently, say 1 in 10 updates. However if you wait a day it usually resolves itself, I've always assumed someone has realised theres a problem and resolved it, or perhaps it's looking at a mirror that doesn't have a copy of the new update yet?

[opensuse-factory] ktorrent fix for several security issues
by Robert Lewis 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

This morning I got the "New software for your system is available" notice (red triangle with explanation mark in the middle). Clicking on brought up "Available Updates" offering a fix for ktorrent: fix for several security issues. However, attempting to install it puts me into a recursive loop where the notice to install never goes away and keeps telling me about this patch. Something is wrong! I could delete ktorrent and probably get rid of it. Anyone else seeing this?

[opensuse-factory] installing kernel takes too long
by Felix Miata 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

Anyone besides me notice it can take an absurd length of time to install a kernel? I upgrade everything else with smart with kernel locked, then install kernel-pae/kernel-pae-base using rpm -ivh. (I leave old kernels installed for sometimes months.) Lately on some machines of up to 2.0GHz I'm seeing way too much time to install, possibly since the kernel packaging split. I've not remembered to time it yet, but it seems it may be in the 10 to 20 minute range. -- "Love is not easily angered. Love does not demand its own way." 1 Corinthians 13:5 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
