I found and installed the projectM-pulseaudio package. I can now bring up the projectM visualization but it is clearly not responding to any sound output from Amarok yet.

So something is still missing... >> > That package is from my repository in which I experiment with new packages that IMO would make sense in Contrib. While the build is proper I never got projectM working correctly in terms of properly responding to pulseaudio, which is pretty much the reason why this package is still stuck in my personal repo and not pushed to Contrib itself.

(I will reply to both you and it) I cannot say for certain what has fixed projectM for me, I had set this aside for now and wandered off to solve other problems (like getting mythTV, lirc and other media components up and running) During the course of doing all this I did note that when I installed one of the lirc packages, it forced a new update of the kernel for me, so perhaps that had something to do with the fix.. Anywise, as an inspiration, I just now decided to launch projectM-pulseaudio from a command line instead of using the KDE/SuSE menu, just to see if there would be any clues in the output. And I will be darned if the thing simply started working! So like I said, I have tried a lot of paths to get this and other components working and cannot say for certain what fixed it. If you want to compare your system to mine, I will be glad to help. Just send me commands that you want me to execute and I will post the results... Really is nice to have my old friend back!!! Love the visualizations! Thanks whoever fixed it! Marc.. -- Marc Chamberlin www.marcchamberlin.com A man said unto the universe - "Sir I Exist!"

[opensuse] User cannot start Open Office
by Bob Williams 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

One of my users has suddenly lost the ability to start Open Office, the other two can use it as usual. No configuration files have been changed, and this has only happened in the last 10 days or so. Typing 'soffice' at a terminal just returns the command line prompt (immediately). Even typing '/usr/bin/soffice' fails. Clicking on Desktop folder icons or start menu items also fails. Other programs all work as expected. I cannot understand why or how this could happen. Any ideas/suggestions please?

[opensuse] OpenOffice 3.2 from Stable - How to get Normal file Open/Save Dialog back?
by David C. Rankin 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

Guys, I have OO 3.2 from the STABLE repository installed and it has that terrible file open/save dialog enabled that has no way to navigate folders accept by going up/down one folder at a time. I can't recall how to change the setup so I get the normal qt looking dialogs. This is on 11.0 with OpenOffice_org-3.2.0.7-1.1 installed. What I see now is: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/img/ss/ooo/oldDialogs.jpg What I want to see is: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/img/ss/ooo/gioDialogs.jpg What's the trick? -- David C.

[opensuse] gwenview - awkward scrolling in browse mode (KDE 4.4.2) "release 231"
by David C. Rankin 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

Guys, I don't know if anyone else has noticed this yet, but when scrolling in browse mode (icon view) in gwenview, the folder don't seem to move. The only thing that seems to happen is the folder names seem to jump up/down the screen when you scroll (with mousewheel up/down) within a folder containing a large number of subfolders. The look is very awkward. It's almost like the folders are stationary and the folder names exist on some type of 'widget layer' and the widget layer is used to simulate scrolling. Has anyone else noticed this? If something like this has been implemented, then the timings are way off, because it doesn't look like scrolling at all. It just looks like the folder names jump from folder-to-folder. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

by David C. Rankin 01 Apr '10

Listmates, Here is a shot of the BlueNight-II theme for gnome and emerald. It, unlike many others, contains its own icon theme (complete icon theme for gnome). If you like it, you can get all parts at: http://lagadesk.deviantart.com/gallery/#_browse--2 This guys stuff is great.

[opensuse] zypper: Unknown checksum type: 8: sha256
by Joachim Schrod 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

Hi, With openSUSE 11.1, I'm using the JPackage repositories. Since last night, that runs into errors, since JPackage seems to have switched to a different checksum type. The errors that I get are like Error building the cache: 'repo2solv.sh' '-o' '/shared/suse-11.1/zypp/cache/solv/java4-free/solv' '/shared/suse-11.1/zypp/cache/raw/java4-free' Unknown checksum type: 8: sha256 Skipping repository 'java4-free' because of the above error. Is this a known problem resp. incompatibility of different rpm-md repositories? Any solution or workarounds? Maybe update to a newer zypper from SBS? Thanks in advance for any answer, Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod(a)acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Does anyone know if there is amarok-xine for the latest version of amarok (2.3.0) ? Packman repo does not seem to provide amarok-xine for the latest version, but only for kde3-amarok. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
