[opensuse] par2
by Carlos E. R. 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, It appears that par2 has not seen development since 2004. Does somebody know of an equivalent, modern, utility with that functionality? (forward recovery of backup archive files) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parchive Parchive (a contraction of parity archive volume set) is an open source software project that emerged in 2001 to develop a parity file format, as conceived by Tobias Rieper and Stefan Wehlus. These parity files use a forward error correction-style system that can be used to perform data verification, and allow recovery when data is lost or corrupted. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Amarok keeps crashing in a fresh opensuse 11.2 install. when ran at a command line I get: InnoDB: The log sequence number in ibdata files does not match InnoDB: the log sequence number in the ib_logfiles! 100102 13:59:15 InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally! InnoDB: Starting crash recovery. InnoDB: Reading tablespace information from the .ibd files... InnoDB: Restoring possible half-written data pages from the doublewrite InnoDB: buffer... Object::connect: No such signal KLineEdit::downPressed() <unknown program name>(5139)/: Communication problem with "amarok" , it probably crashed.

[opensuse] Installing and using an NFS client
by Stan Goodman 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

I want to provide filesharing between two oS machines. I have followed the directions of the page <http://en.opensuse.org/NFS> to install the server on a desktop machine (which is oS v11.1 for the time being, and wish to made a client on a laptop (oS v11.2). The directions on the page are simple enough; when I get a client up I will find out if they worked (the page, which is headed "NFS", never touches the subject of clients). Neither do other such pages that I have found. In v 11.1, YaST admits to having a package called yast2-nfs-client, but I don't see this in v11.2 YaST. If I did, I wouldn't know how to load it. It also has a package nfs-client-debuginfo, described as "Debug information for package nfs-clent. But there is no package nfs-info in the list.

[opensuse] Netbook config - how to kill it
by ianseeks 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

hi I've got myself into a config mess on my desktop PC. I deleted the ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma* files as I couldn't get rid of the "newspaper" column format on the Desktop. When i logged in again it went straight to a netbook config and i can't get back to a desktop format even after i repeated the deletion of the plasms*rc files. I even copied the plasma*rc files from my other user and it still launched the Netbook format. where does KDE decide whether to use Netbook or Desktop? regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kde 4.4 will not shutdown
by Andrew Colvin 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

Hi all and a happy new year I have a weird problem on my laptop which is running opensuse 11.1 and the kde 4.4 betas (up to date with the latest in all the repos). Since I replaced 4.3.4 with 4.4 my kde will not log me out or shutdown. It shows the logout or shutdown dialogue and then plays the sound when you log out but then does nothing. I cannot invoke logout again and have to resort to killing processes or use init 0 to shutdown. I have even tried the root user but still nothing. Additionally I started KDE without KDM (directly) and it exhibits the same issue on logout and no errors where shown in the terminal I started it from Does anyone else have this issue is there a way to resolve it. It has been like for about a month and each update I hope it will fix it but it hasn't. Hoping for a solution Andrew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] selecting the atlantis screen saver on 11.2 box locks it up
by Michael Folsom 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

Folks: Just installed 11.2 x86-64 on an AMD box with a gigabyte motherboard and built in ATI video card - specifics: System is fully patched and up to date, Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2HP AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard with a ATI Radeon HD 3200 built in video card Anyway, after I went into Control Center -> Screen Saver and then selected Atlantis I lost my keyboard and only had some mouse control - buttons no longer worked so I couldn't select another screen saver. Also, cntrl-alt-backspace didn't kill the X server and cntrl-alt-delte didn't kill the box. I tried to ssh into the box but after taking my password that shell locked. I ended up having to power cycle the system. My question - is there a file I can edit to delete that stupid setting since I can't use the normal tool, the gui, to change it? Thanks - Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
