[opensuse] Weird behavior opensuse 11.1 - DoSed ?
by Josef Karliak 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

Hi, last few moths my opensuse 11.1 on AMD 4050e CPU needs hard reboot. I'm running it as a internet gateway, it just don't stops respond. After reboot I see following signs in my messages and firewall log: ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@ Next is record of starting syslog. Have you anybody mets this problem ? Machine is not loaded to high, it is quite boring :). Memory tests are ok, I think that it could be possible DoS attack. How to be sure ?

[opensuse] Tomboy Notes without all of the Gnome Dependancies
by Anthony Simonelli 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

It's really a shame because the one application I miss from GNOME, and what I run on Windows XP is Tomboy Notes. I know not everyone is a fan, but it is a very convenient tool and once you get the hang of it and it works well. No saving, convenient wiki style linking, and a nice sync function. When I look to install it on my KDE installation (that has GIMP, OOo, and Firefox), it wants to pull in a great deal of GNOME dependencies, almost the whole desktop! Nautilus, gnome-menu, gnome-icons, even the YaST Gnome Control Center. Is there any way to use Tomboy without installing all of these additional GNOME packages? I mean really, 45MB of downloads for just Tomboy?

[opensuse] kde4 - I messed up my panel - what file do I copy from backup?
by David C. Rankin 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

kde4 Devs, I did something to my panel that caused everything that is supposed to be on the right side (clock, battery, logout/shutdown, systray) to now be in the middle of my panel. See: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/kde4/plsm-panel-messed-up.jpg I have checked and there is nothing on the right side of these items. One the left side, I have: menu|quicklaunch|pager|taskbar|spacer|systray... My question is which config file controls this?? I have other accounts that I can look at to try and fix my panel, but I'm not sure what config file controls it? I am fairly certain that an errant mouse click & drag pulled something out of my panel that keeps everything aligned, but what to do to get it back to normal?? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] 11.1 to 11.2 in-place upgrade...possible bug?
by Stephen Michael Kellat 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

When I launched the in-place upgrade following the wiki's instruction's on my mother's 11.1 box, a unique thing happened. Her screensaver was FlyingToasters and upon hitting the enter key on her keyboard to get out of it almost all of her X session disappeared and zypper terminated by virtue of its terminal session disappearing. Is this a documented issue? I was having complications logging into bugzilla earlier. Right now I can still SSH in and am finishing the upgrade that way.

[opensuse] Speaking of KDE3...
by Phil Savoie 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

How do I go back to KDE 3? Right now I am using 11.2 and KDE 4. I would really like to get rid of 4 so I can be fully functional in an environment I can understand.

[opensuse] Supported KDE3 by SLED?
by Tero Pesonen 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

Hi! I know this is an openSUSE list, but since there has been a lot of discussion on the future of KDE3, I though this might be interesting to openSUSE users. I was thinking if SUSE Enterprise Desktop 11 offers support for KDE3? According to the package list there are parts of KDE3 included, but it is not clear to me if these are only for being able to run KDE3 apps on KDE4, or if KDE 3.5.10 can be installed such that it is supported by SUSE. I personally am not too keen to move from KDE3, and am tired of upgrading distros yearly (and hence reconfiguring everything from the ground up for my accessibility needs) just because the support cycles are so short. So, does SLED 11 offer an alternative to openSUSE on this score? Thanks for any comments on this!

[opensuse] Nepomuk is not running
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

After my last zypper dup I am now on KDE 4.3.95 and like it. One problem which I stumbled on was the information that nepomuk was not running. No idea how to get it running and why I should need it. Have looked int the website of Akonadi which did not help me much. Could somebody explain in plain english how to get nepomuk running and what akonadi does on my system? -- Linux User 183145 using a Pentium III , powered by openSUSE 11.2 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.3.95 (KDE 4.3.95 (KDE 4.4 RC2)) "release 214" 16:28pm up 1:56, 4 users, load average: 1.73, 1.46, 1.32 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What detects the file system on an iPod
by Bruce Ferrell 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

My 30G iPod has stopped mounting. when I check dmesg I get the following message: VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sdb1 when I manually mount using mount -t vfat /dev/sdb2 /mnt It mounts perfectly telling me the filesystem on the device is fine. Something in hot plug maybe? TIA Bruce -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
