[opensuse] Problem with codec installer in opensuse
by Yin T 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

I performed a fresh install of opensuse 10.3 and proceeded to go to http://software.opensuse.org/search for the codecs I selected and executed Codec-Audio-Video.ymp. During the installation process I received a dialogbox with the following major message and assoc options. No valid solution found with just resolvables of best architecture and speex cannot be installed due to missing dependencies. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-with-codec-installer-in-opensuse-tp14946930p1… Sent from the openSUSE community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SUSE SWAMP
by Ciro Iriarte 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Anybody tried it?, is it actually being used on the Opensuse project?. Looks interesting.... Maybe it can replace workflow apps on Domino/Notes... Webpage: http://swamp.sourceforge.net/ SWAMP - The Workflow Platform SWAMP is a workflow processing platform. Workflows are processes with many people involved in many working steps. In a real world scenario these workflows are highly dynamic, but still many systems try to hardcode the business logic. That leads to raising efforts to adapt the system. Here is where SWAMP steps in: The workflow is designed in a XML based meta language in one file which is read by SWAMP. Workflows can be built from different workflow 'patterns' like simple actions, decisions, selections, loops, but also custom code and external events if required. SWAMP builds a HTML GUI from the workflow definition file that guides different users through the whole process, sends notifications if required, assembles overview pages over all running processes and much more. A SOAP interface can be used to integrate external systems into the workflow. These are SWAMPs main Features: * Support of many different workflow patterns * Flexibility in workflow design: A workflow can be specified in a single XML file * Workflow evolution: Workflows can be developed while in operation (versioning) * Ease of use: clear and straightforward XML based workflow definition language, no coding skills needed * Workflows can attach data and files * Automatic web-GUI generation for handling individual tasks and administrating workflows * Running on Linux + Windows with OS-independant tools: Java, Tomcat, MySQL * MySQL + LDAP authentication possible * User and Role management, workflows/tasks can be restricted * Mail notification system included * Unlimited amount of different workflow-types on one server * Scheduler to control time-critical workflow paths * SOAP interface allows interaction with external systems * Openness: Custom code allows unlimited functionality, event- and data gateways * Customizeable overview lists with filters -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is an update to KDE 3.5.10 OK?
by David C. Rankin 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

Listmates, Before I regret it, has anybody had any bad experience with an update to KDE 3.5.10. I seem to recall a week or so ago, there was a complaint about 3.5.10, but there was very little follow up. That leads me to believe all is safe. But getting older, I have learned to look before I leap. So anybody have any information on the update? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[opensuse] how does bugzilla work?
by primm 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Bug 445320 concerns the intel 845 (and I think many other) Intel graphics. It only allows framebuffer graphics for these chipsets. It was found in 11.1 rc1. I've sent in some extra info and voted for the bug. I'm not sure how bugzilla works but an upgrade to 11.1 would render my 20 node lan useless due to screen flicker. My main concern is when are rc bugs fixed? Is it likely to be fixed before release this week? If not what is the usual timescale? Would it be sensible up upgrade just one box to 11.1, get Yast to setup the install server and wait until the bug gets fixed? cheers, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Any way to Save .bash_history command to file when HISTSIZE= is reached?
by David C. Rankin 10 Feb '09

10 Feb '09

Listmates, Is there any way to Save .bash_history command to file when HISTSIZE= limit is reached? I would love to be able to hack whatever command removes entries from the .bash_history file and have it append that cli to something like history.sav so I could save old command lines. The problem is that I don't know where this code lives or whether it is even accessible to me. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks. -- David C.

by Teruel de Campo MD 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

ref: opensuse 11.1 kde 4.1.3 Openoffice does not have the connector to be able to use the evolution address database. It has for kmail iirc similar situation happens with 11 and then when I received the box version it was there. I ordered the box version last week so hope evolution connector is there. Does any of you have it? Just openoffice/File/wizards/Address data source and it should be there.

[opensuse] importing/moving openoffice user settings
by Istvan Gabor 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hello: I would like to use my openoffice 2.x user settings in openoffice 3. I installed openoffice latest stable version OpenOffice_org-3.0.0.3.6-1.1 on openSUSE 10.3. This created a .ooo3 for user settings. Previous openoffice stored the preferences in .ooo-2.0. I am not sure that I can simply copy/rename .ooo-2.0 to ooo3. What is the correct way to import previous user defined settings (templates, toolbars etc)into openoffice 3?

[opensuse] Problem with popping in audio and stuttering graphics...
by Clayton 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

I'm trying to trace down a problem I'm having with openSUSE 11.1. The symptoms are basically popping audio (periodic) and graphics slowdows. The audio popping is most noticeable in games where there is a fairly high demand on system resources. The audio is... crackly at times.. it cycles from perfect to poor. The audio problem also happens, for example, what I browse to a webpage that has embedded audio, or a flash video (eg YouTube). Then the audio pops (or rips) once very loudly a bit like "dragging the needle" sounded like on old records. It's very fast, very loud, and then audio plays normally. The graphics "slowdowns" are basically a huge drop in fps (pick any native Linux OpenGL game or any game playing in Cedega/Wine or whatever, it happens consistently in all OpenGL games) from, for example 70fps, down to 3 or 4 fps, and then after a few seconds, back up to 70 again. The OS is an openSUSE 11.1, default install plus the multimedia extras from the community repos ======== Kernel is 2.6.27.7-9-pae 32 bit ======== Hardware - AMD Athlon X2 6400+ - 4 GB RAM - nvidia 260GTX video card with nVidia binary drivers 180.18 Beta - Soundblaster 5.1 ======== One possibility suggested to me was that it might be a kernel thing... at least for the graphics, and suggested I try a 2.6.24 kernel... I haven't taken this step yet. I hate messing with kernels... unless it's a last resort. Overall, I would almost suspect that there is something running in the background that is periodically doing something... some task that is killing system performance. The usual suspects are removed... Beagle and Strigi are not installed, and Nepomuk is not running. I've checked all running services and shut down all but the essentials but it has had no effect. Anyone here have any ideas or suggestions... what can I do to trace this down?

[opensuse] No backup configuration in YaST 11.1
by JosipBroz 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hi there. IIRC there was a default configuration in YaST 11.0 > System > System backup. You just had to customize it and you had a (somewhat) working backup strategy in place (with cron, anacron, and everything else pre-configured). Now, when you go to YaST > System > System backup, there's just this blank window staring at you. Am I supposed to be able to create a backup config from scratch? I'm not able to do that. Even if I try, it never runs (or it tries to backup 300 GB of data to a 2 GB partition). Any suggestions? Or, better: any pre-configured backup schemes to dig out or download from anywhere? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
