Re: [opensuse-factory] VBox 12.3 m/2 automatically invoked screenlocking

For some *unknown* reason my screen now locks when the screen-saver in initiated and will not unlock but to a black/blank unresponsive screen. Checking the screen-saver settings, systemsettings, revealed the "screen-saver" is now a "screen locker" and the "simple locker" was selected, *not* be me. Previous setting was "screen-saver". wtf! The only recovery I find is *rebooting*. Unexceptable! One would think I was running a version of windoz. And, the "Screen locker type: Simple locker" DOES NOT WORK for me. Testing new versions is becoming VERY difficult to the point of wasted effort.

And now with no "screen-LOCK" set, recovering from screen-blanking requires a password, contrary to systemsettings. wtf! -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] VBox 12.3 m/2 drops first char when typing login name on console
by Patrick Shanahan 22 Dec '12

22 Dec '12

>: cat /etc/os-release NAME=openSUSE VERSION="12.3 Milestone 2 (Dartmouth)" VERSION_ID="12.3milestone2" PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE 12.3 Milestone 2 (Dartmouth) (x86_64)" ID=opensuse ANSI_COLOR="0;32" CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:opensuse:12.3" I boot to rl3 normally. First attempt to type log in name drops first char for user or root. Second and subsequent attempts are as should be expected. Also, frequently the log in prompt is not shown. Typing the log in user name exposes it, or a <return> provides the prompt, XXXXXX login: Note: this also happens frequently on 12.2/Tumbleweed -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] New package: ooRexx
by Erico Mendonca 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Package name: ooRexx License: CPL-1.0 URL: http://www.oorexx.org/ OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=ooRexx&project=home%3Aemend… Devel-Package: devel:languages:misc Description: Open Object Rexx is an object-oriented scripting language. The language is designed for both beginners and experienced Rexx programmers. It is easy to learn and use, and provides an excellent vehicle to enter the world of object-oriented programming without much effort. It extends the procedural way of Rexx programming with object-oriented features that allow you to gradually change your programming style as you learn more about objects. Some personal observations: Rexx has been in use since 1979, and transitioned through many different platforms, from the original mainframe implementation (where it still lives), to Amiga, OS/2, AIX, Windows and Linux. I've been using it daily in Linux servers for at least a decade, and OS/2 before that. This package is based on the latest stable release, and has been tweaked to avoid some of the pitfalls of the official RPMs, like fixed directories for classes, a reworked optimized SPEC and a working init script (the original seems to hang sometimes). This package has been thoroughly tested in the last few months and could be a nice addition. Erico Mendonça Dedicated Support Engineer +55 (61) 9115-3256 +55 (61) 8594-9557 +55 (11) 3345-3900 Av.

[opensuse-factory] Snapper algorithm
by nafisa mandliwala 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hello, I was probing further in the Snapper code and wanted to know how the changed contents are actually stored and displayed. After the block by block memcmp of files, how are these changes between snapshots stored? Can someone give me a background and direct me to the functions concerned? Thanks! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Advisory - Problem with video after sleep
by Thomas Taylor 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

The video screen remains black after trying to return from sleep mode. This is only under OS 12.3-M2 build 0260 x86-64. Return from sleep worked properly in 12.2 and 12.3-M0. Video chipset: is Nvidia GTX550Ti M/B: ASUS M4N98TD EVO Kernel: 3.6.3-1-default This is with the default neauvou driver. When I have time I'll d/l the current propriety driver and give it a try and report further. Tom -- “What we do for ourselves dies with us.

[opensuse-factory] the new zypper
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 17 Dec '12

Like the new zypper which give a count down from the installed packages. Something I like very much. There seems to be a small bug because for a second time I found that the total to download and the total installed differ (+1). Must be something small. My today’s update gave following: Retrieving package k3b-codecs-2.0.2-15.68.i586 (193/193), 52.1 KiB (178.9 KiB unpacked) ( 192/194 ) Installing:amarok-2.6.0-7.36..........................[done] ( 193/194 ) Installing: k3b-codecs-2.0.2-15.68 .................[done] committingCommitResult (total 193, done 193, error 0, skipped 0, updateMessages 0) -- Linux User 183145 using KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 12.3 Milestone 2 (i586) Kernel: 3.6.3-1-default KDE Development Platform: 4.9.90) 17:28pm up 2:44, 3 users, load average: 4.06, 2.81, 2.01 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
