[opensuse] Novell Client for Linux 2.0 sp2 sle11 i586 on openSUSE 11.2
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

I have installed the RPMs in novell-client-2.0-sp2-sle11-i586.iso (downloaded from Novell), as well as CASA and libbfd on an openSUSYE 11.2 system. When I log in to KDE, I get a NCL icon in the system tray. When I try to do something with it, I get this in a popup window: Description : Cannot scan Connection References. Error:NWCCScanConnRefs: Code : FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFB Build : 1.0.0 File : ncpConnectionRefScanner.cpp Line : 79 Repository Version : $Revision: 2371 $ Then I can proceed to the NCL menu. However, login does not work. I fill in all the usual details and I get this message: "The system could not log you into the network. Make sure your name and connection information are correct, then type your password again." I use this exact same information in the same machine from Windows XP running on VMWare, and that works fine. So I know that the values are correct and that the machines are available. But obviously something has gone kaplooie. Anyone else using NCL on openSUSE 11.2? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] building rpm packages and automatic dependencies.
by mailing lists 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hello, I need build some packages but I'm unable to understand how to override automatic dependencies. For a package like haproxy which depends of libpcreposix0 I specify a requires tag containing libpcreposix0. However find-requires adds libpcreposix.so.0()(64bit) as a dependency and finally the installation halts to request the library instead of showing the required package. Anyone knows how to solve this? # rpm -qp --requires RPMS/x86_64/haproxy-1.4.4-1.x86_64.rpm /sbin/chkconfig /sbin/service libpcreposix0 <------------------------------------------ requires tag dependency /bin/sh /bin/sh /bin/sh /bin/sh rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 /bin/sh libcrypt.so.1()(64bit) libcrypt.so.1(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) libc.so.6()(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.2)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit) libpcreposix.so.0()(64bit) <-------------------------- find-requires adds this libpcre.so.0()(64bit) rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.6-1 # zypper install -r 1 haproxy Retrieving repository 'Opensuse11.2-local' metadata [done] Building repository 'Opensuse11.2-local' cache [done] Loading repository data...

[opensuse] Question about (s)tar
by Koenraad Lelong 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hi, Since a few weeks I'm running a script to backup my home-server. It's just a few tar-files I'm making on a removable hard-disk. Every week I run the same script with commands like star -cf tar-file.tar.gz directory I don't do any errorchecking though, like checking if all tar-commands end without errors. That's a next project. Last weekend I tried to recover that data to another external hard-disk, to see if the backup was restorable. It seemed to work fine except that I got a message, something like "ignoring trailing garbage". Am I to worry that my backup has problems ? Now I remember I actually used tar to restore. Maybe there is a difference ? Thanks for any information you can give. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Multiple GTK themes applied in kde - how is that possible?
by David C. Rankin 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Guys, Here is a strange one. Within my kde desktop, something is applying 2 different gtk themes to gtk apps. Really wild. A screenshot will help: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/kde3/kcm_gtk-multi-themes_02.jpg Here you see compiz-config with the 'BlackBird' gtk theme applied and some default 12 pt font, but at the same time, you see the fusion-icon menu open in kicker with the BlueNight-II gtk theme applied with the proper 8pt font. --> Huh? I know the setting are controlled though kcm_gtk, but I've never had 2 themes show up before. It looks like both kde3 'and' kde4 gtkrc files are being read and used by different parts of kde3 - not good: 16:03 alchemy:~> for i in .gtkrc-2.0*; do echo -e "\n File: $i\n"; cat $i; done File: .gtkrc-2.0-kde # This file was written by kcm_gtk # You can edit it in the KDE control center, under "GTK Styles and Fonts" include "/usr/share/themes/BlackBird/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" include "/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" style "user-font" { font_name="Sans Serif 8" } widget_class "*" style "user-font" gtk-theme-name="BlackBird" gtk-font-name="Sans Serif 8" File: .gtkrc-2.0-kde4 # This file was written by KDE # You can edit it in the KDE control center, under "GTK Styles and Fonts" include "/usr/share/themes/LaGaDesk-BlueNight-II-GTK/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" include "/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" style "user-font" { font_name="Sans Serif" } widget_class "*" style "user-font" gtk-theme-name="LaGaDesk-BlueNight-II-GTK" gtk-font-name="Sans Serif 8" Well, it is apparent where the mixing of themes are coming from, the question is "What is kde4 doing trying to assign the gtk theme to my kde3 desktop?" ... and ... more importantly, "How do I make it stop?" It gets worse when you invoke the gtk file save/save-as dialog: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/kde3/kcm_gtk-multi-themes_05.jpg The bizarre part here is that the dialog has parts of each gtk theme. The background color is obviously BlueNight, but the crappy 12pt font and white backgrounds are from? -- dunno? I'll dork around with it a bit more, but if anybody has any ideas, I would sure appreciate them. These things are a pain -- and the sad part is they never were before. KDE3 would read .gtkrc-2.0-kde and KDE4 read .gtkrc-2.0-kde4. Why the mix-up? and.. Where? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] GDM 11.2 went broken
by Marco Calistri 31 May '10

31 May '10

Dear list-memebers, Following my latest post titled: Re: [opensuse-gnome] 11.2 Gnome update VS STABLE:2.28, I regrettably have to ask some guidance about recovering my GDM, since it suddenly get broken. Latest changes I made immediately before the broke have been: 1) Reverting from G:S:2.28 to update repo and ran a zypper dup 2) Rebooting the system by maintaining "gdm" and "gnome" respectively into /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager, noticed very high CPU/MEM load up to 99%/50% from gconfd-2 running endlessly 3) No way to see the gdm-greeter after long await 4) As per recent logs, I believe there is something wrong with GConf or better with policy-kit: GConf: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.). 5) Actually the sole workaround to get the gdm greeter and Gnome desktop is to edit /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and changing the line "gdm" into "kdm", doing this I can login into Gnome perfectly. Wonder if somebody can suggest me some ways to cure to the problem. I've also thought as last resource to uninstall completely GNOME and install it back again.

[opensuse] how to solve dependencies for stellarium 10.4
by Julien Michielsen 31 May '10

31 May '10

I want to install stellarium 10.4, but I was not able to solve all dependen- cies for it(as described in stellarium.org/wiki/index.php/Build_Dependencies) The first problem was for Open GL, which needs libgl1-mesa-dev. Yast (and the entire SuSE site) did not mention this lib. Is this available for SuSE? The next line stated GLU, and libglu1-mesa-dev. Appearantly (and luckily) this is not needed anymore from version 0.10.3, so I can skip that difficult line. The next dependency is Zlib, requiring zlib1g-dev. I could not find this for SuSE. Anywhere available? The libfreetype-requirement could not be solved either. My opensuse11.1 dit not go higher than libfreetype2. I will stop here,even though I'm not at the end of unsolvable requirements yet. Have people succeeded to install the later stellariums on suse, or should I rather give up?

[opensuse] where do I turn tracker off at?
by j debert 30 May '10

30 May '10

First, Beagle came along and made a hog of itself. Then Nepomuk came along and just kept everything to itself, letting me have a microscopic scrap of resources every once in a great while. Now, tracker shows up and hijacks my system when I'm working. The tracker gang, led by tracker-miner-fs, turns up after login and takes over my system as they search and index files like Beagle and Nepomuk. And as with those other two, the tracker gang does it's thing while I am busy and slows my work to a crawl or stalls it completely. The man pages say tracker is started by the .desktop config file. There is no .desktop config file. I've looked in every config file I can think of and none start tracker. THe worst thing about tracker, as is the worst thing with beagle and nepomuk, and cron jobs like suse.de-updatedb, etc., is that they always, without fail, choose to do their more important work while I'm working and never at idle times, like late at night. I want tracker to stop. I don't need it. It is severely interfering with work. So, Does Anyone Know Where, in which file, is the tracker gang started up? And if I delete it, will it go kamikaze and break the system or other apps, like so (too!) many other rpm-installed apps do? And BTW, why is it that beagle, nepomuk, tracker, et cetera are always installed and set to run at the most inopportune times by default? There's a trend here that suggests that someone's been reading way too much BOFH and that there will be many more of those hijacking searcher/indexers to come. == jd While money can't buy happiness, it certainly lets you choose your own form of misery. -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Enable double-click in firefox file chooser?
by Myrosia Dzikovska 29 May '10

29 May '10

I am on OpenSuse 11.1, using KDE 3.5. Since Firefox changed to GTK file chooser, there is one feature that is driving me crazy: files open on single click. This really does not work well with my touchpad, and I am constantly going into wrong directories or attaching wrong files to my webmail. I tried editing gnome/peripherals/mouse settings in gconf-editor, and unchecked the "single click" option. This doesn't seem to have changed anything. Is there another place to change configuration settings, or will I have to go back to the old Mozilla file chooser?

Hello listmates, IS it possible to collect files via rsync from a machine that does not have it installed? Let's say I've got a machine that has an SSH/SFTP server runningbut no rsync. Can I use a SUSE box with rsync to fetch data from that machine? Thanks.

Hi, I made my local security setting more secure with the yast security module and now I get a host of problems with running configure and cmake. I've tried setting them back to easy but nothing changes, I can't even run ./configure and have to use sh configure. This problem affects root as well how can I fix it?

Hi guys I need your help with a box I have. Since a while ago I automount in GNOME of USB doesn't work anymore. When I attach the USB disk this message appear: --- Cannot mount USB Authentication is required --- /var/log/messages show this: May 25 07:58:26 buffy ntfs-3g[6821]: Unmounting /dev/sdg5 (swoop_usb) May 25 07:58:44 buffy kernel: [73057.404731] sdg: sdg1 < sdg5 > It's no problem to do manual mount if I go root but somehow automount in GNOME doesn't work anymore. I'm not sure but for me it sounds like a user permission issue but I don't know where to look. -- Venlig hilsen / Best regards Allan Dreyer Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Incredible Fractal Work for your Desktop
by David C. Rankin 28 May '10

28 May '10

Guys, Rarely do I pass on art, but this guy 'nmsmith' does some incredible work with fractals that will blow you away. You will find most of his work at ceades, but his submission tonight to deviantART is well worth passing a link along. Put is on your desktop, or if you like it dark, take white to alpha and put it over a glue/gray radial gradient. http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/?order=5&offset=192#/d2qi4l4 Yes, that's a fractal.

[opensuse] Wierd IPv6 address problem
by James Knott 28 May '10

28 May '10

I have a network with an IPv6 subnet. Today, I noticed that I cannot reach www.bieringer.de [2001:a60:9002:1::186:3] from my main linux box, but I can from other computers, including one running Windows. This would indicate that my router is working properly and the problem is only on this one computer. Another strange thing about this computer is that it has an extra IP address (2001:db8:1:0:215:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx) beyond the link local and subnet addresses. This sort of address or subnet does not appear on any other computer. I have no idea where to look for the cause of this issue. I'm running OpenSUSE 11.0 on all Linux systems. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
