ARGH#@$--my MTU setting got lost over night! i'm on one of those old networks that require MTU to be set below 1500, at 1492 exactly for best restults, as i figured out long ago. for some reason this setting has disappeared recently. (i'm sure i didn't remove it knowingly; have to look into /etc/zypp/history, if any part of network conf. got updated...) thanks to your reply i went and checked my LAN cable, in case the rats had gnawed through it again (happened once already), but that looked ok. then i googled around for those 'reassembled pdu's, and found MTU mentioned, as you did in your reply. i'm sorry for for clogging up the list with my unrelated posts; everything works as it's supposed to now (which is poor enough). -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] different way to calculate network speed since a few days?
by phanisvara das 19 Dec '10

19 Dec '10

i'm noticing something strange and don't know what to think of it: so far, network speed (down) as shown by ksysguard or the network plasmoid roughly matched what yast or zypper were showing as download speed. since yesterday night i notice that my incoming speed hangs around the maximum i can get (64 KiB), while zypper or yast report approx. half of that; no idea where the remaining 32 KiB end are ending up. this reminds me of some others who experienced problems connecting to the internet, but my issue seems different as connection takes place, but somehow 50% of the received bandwidth appears to get lost...puzzled. /var/log/firewall doesn't show anything interesting; i've just installed wireshark, hoping to be able to make sense of what's going on. was wondering if perhaps others noticed something similar, or if this is a mess of my own making?

[opensuse-factory] clicking on KDE icons remains without action
by Werner LEMBERG 19 Dec '10

19 Dec '10

Folks, I've just updated my whole system to factory + KDE factory (4.5.85), and I experience a worst-case scenario: Clicking on any desktop icon I have[1] yields no reaction. This extreme situation has never happened before... Is this a known problem? Any quick fix?
