[opensuse-factory] Yast2 and USB Printers
by Donn Washburn 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

Hey Group; I have a USB Brother MFC 7840W and their custom driver for Linux. It was a RPM and downloaded from Brother's site for this printer, fax and scanner. I call up Yast2 (console or X) and the printer is found under Hardware. It seems to setup /etc/cups/ and printcap. Cups "d" is running according to "ps ax | grep cups" "lp file.text" seems returns a job number and lpq shows it. As for USB - lsusb and hwinfo --usb show it. Plus hwinfo --usb shows a kernel module that is seen with "lsmod" A website showed a way to test it using lptest and that worked for a test page. Where are what is causing it not to print? Sometimes it will wake up the display and says "Rec. Data" and then "Sleep". My guess is it is Brothers problem. Things like strace -fo stop at the end of cups from "lp file.txt" -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] banshee

Why is it that banshee causes www.pbs.org Frontline videos not to work? It must be broken like xine. Firefox calls banshee and nothing happens. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] USB failure
by Donn Washburn 26 Dec '09

26 Dec '09

Hey Group; What is the reason that just about every new USB item seems to not work? I have a Palm Pilot that used to work flawless. I had a udev/rules.d file that setup a /dev/pilot which still works. The baud rate is the same and visor is shown by lsmod. Yet it doesn't work. I have a openSuSE rpm version of jpilot which will not sync. However just like my USB printer (said to work by linuxprinting.org) as well as the palm device - neither work. Anyone have a suggestion for tracking down the problem. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Noticed the 1.6.2 rpm's for both 11.0, 11.1, 11.2 and SLE_10 and SLE_11 Gesture is very much appreciated.

[opensuse-factory] Replacing -j%jobs with %_smp_mflags
by Jan Engelhardt 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

Hi, Most of SUSE specfiles include %{?jobs:-j%jobs} for parallel execution. It is also a well-known fact that quite some time is spent with setting up roots, etc., and compiling projects that can only do -j1. To keep the machine busy, I would increase the number of parallel build instances running. Furthermore, to not let parallel building go out of hand, I would switch from make -jX to make -lX. This would be straightforward to change in .rpmmacros (and/or build's equivalents, respectively): %_smp_mflags -l24 SUSE's specfiles however use a hardcoded %{?jobs:-j%jobs} (historic reasons?) which makes it impossible to easily change to other make flags. I could try touching the $MAKEFLAGS environment variable, but that may as well be reset, ignored, or whatever. In other words, I would prefer -l24 on the command-line. To that end, I am suggesting to change all %{?jobs:-j%jobs} found in specfiles by %_smp_mflags. It should be possible to do this in an automated fashion — projects which are not using -j%jobs in the first place (e.g. because they just are not capable) will not be affected anyway. N.B.: watch out for scons %{?jobs:--jobs=%jobs} which uses --jobs instead of -j. Thoughts?

[opensuse-factory] What happened to "xsnow"?
by Stefan Seyfried 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

Hi, where did the xsnow package go? It's still found on software.opensuse.org/search for FACTORY, but binaries can't be downloaded. It's also not in openSUSE:Dropped nor in home:hennevogel:todo Seriously, this is a bad time to leave users without xsnow! I'll bring my kids over to you to complain! ;-) I'd be willing to maintain this essential package. -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"

[opensuse-factory] cronie daemon is openSUSE
by Michal Seben 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Hi SUSE folks ! Maybe you already know that vixie-cron is used as default cron in openSUSE. Currently there is no chance to push our ~20 patches to upstream (it's already dead), so my suggestion is : switch to cronie[1]. I prepared simple wiki[2] page about this step and also cronie package is waiting for testing in Base:System[3] repo. So if you want test cronie, just add Base:System repo (for opensuse 11.2) : zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Base:/System/openSUSE_11.2/Base:S… and install cronie (vixie-cron will be deleted): zypper in cronie Please let me know your opinions or suggestions :) [1] : https://fedorahosted.org/cronie/ [2] : http://en.opensuse.org/Cron_replace [3] : https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=cronie&project=Base%3ASyste… Thanks ! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
