[opensuse] kst2 in kde4
by Roger Oberholtzer 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

kst is a great tool. My first question is why it is in the educational category. It is a proper scientific/engineering tool. educational, to me, conjures up learning French or geography. labPlot is similarly improperly categorized. Now to the real issue. I am trying to run the current version 2 beta on a 4.3.1 kde4 system. However, the app fails with: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Segmentation fault This is true. I do not have glx on the machine in question (ATI FireGL V3300 is not supported by the ATI driver...) Is this a compile flag that openSUSE set so that kst requires this? Or is it a thing kst will always need? I can file a bug if it is a bug. But I am exploring first. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

Hi, JB2. Please tell me, what do you mean about "top-post"? I don't understand. Please give me another vocab or even explanation. Lookslike you want to protest me but I can't understand. Better I make sure to know where my mistake so I don't make a same mistake twice. Thanks. === On Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:35:37 -0500 JB2 <yonaton(a)localnet.com> wrote: > On 22 September 09, you destroyed a keyboard just to get this out to > the world: > > > You've solved my problem christian.... > > > > Thank you so much thousands time.... > > Please don't top-post to the openSUSE mailing list.

[opensuse] the fundamental SuSE package management tools?
by Robert P. J. Day 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

again, as a relative suse newbie, i'm wondering what people consider the *fundamental* package management tools in opensuse/SLES/SLED. from a long history with red hat/fedora, i can do anything i want with "rpm" and "yum". i'm not a big fan of graphical front ends, when those two commands will do pretty much everything i need. when i recently got into debian, my first reaction was ... what the heck? dpkg. apt-get. aptitude. dselect. etc, etc. so i learned the minimum of what i needed, and that was fine. with suse, so far, i'm working with "rpm" and "zypper". david rankin highly recommended installing "webpin" so, in a nutshell, what do people consider the must-have package management utilities for suse systems? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

[opensuse] kde widget bar size
by Rich Coe 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Anyone know which .kde4 config file controls the size of the kde bar at the bottom of the screen ? My computer locked up coming out of suspend mode, and ever since the kde bar (plasma?) is only 3/4's of the screen width. There's also two half-moon widgets in the upper right corner. I've seen as many as four widgets there ...

[opensuse] Network setup problem
by Mark Misulich 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Hi, I just finished building a new desktop computer, in order to teach myself more about how they work. I have installed a linux driver for the integrated ethernet card on the motherboard from realtek, and it works well. Unfortunately it only works after I configure the card in yast each time after I boot. How do I configure things so that the card will be activated at boot? Here is a copy of my /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcg-eth0 file, as I presume the changes to allow this card to be started at bootup must be made here: DEVICE='eth0' BOOTPROTO='dhcp4' ONBOOT='yes' BROADCAST='' ETHTOOL_OPTIONS='' IPADDR='' MTU='' NAME='RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller' NETMASK='' NETWORK='' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='auto' USERCONTROL='yes' IFPLUGD_PRIORITY='20' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] New installation, erratic mouse cursor
by Stan Goodman 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

I've installed v11.1 on a new notebook machine, and am finding it difficult to control the mouse. The motion of its cursor is erratic when I am trying to move it, sometimes jumping clear across the screen; it's enough to try ones patience. The external mouse and the machines touch panel behave identically, so the problem must not be in the mouse itself, but then I don't know what to suspect. Details: Dell Vostro 1501 Desktop KDE4 (I suppose this is 4.1, on the 11.1 DVD) I have other problems with kde4, but I will ask about these tomorrow, as it is now 0200 here and I am beat. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Backup Question
by Chuck Payne 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Guys. I have about twenty boxes I need to back up. I been told that cpio is go to do that, I currently use tar but by directory by directory casee, but I am having problems finding a good example of a back up script. I am looking to make a cpio image of the whole box. Lucky we have a SAN with storage that will be able to hold the back up. So far I have come up with this, but I don't think it best. What I like to ask the group is does anyone have a nice back up script that can share with me, or can you expand on my script. One more question can you do exclude with cpio like tar? I am hoping this simple script can get what I want. ------------------Being Script---------------------------- #!/bin/sh # functions to call on remotedir () { mount /backup } uremotedit () { umount /backup } # Vars for the host=`hostname -f` # this is because the cron runs nightly at midnight we want the day before dat=`date +%m%d%G -d "1 day ago"` dat2=`date +%m-%d-%G` # The meat of the back up remotedir if [ -d == `/backup/ ] then find -d . -print | cpio -ova > /backup/$host.$dat.cpio else logger "System back up failed on $dat2, backup drive didn't mount" fi uremotedir ------------------End Script------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- Discover it!
