[opensuse] Downwards scrolling terminal?
by Stefan Gofferje 01 Jan '12

01 Jan '12

Hei, a long time ago I had a terminal for X that was scrolling downwards instead of upwards. I don't actually remember if I knitted this myself somehow or if I got it from somewhere. With Google I didn't find anything but I have the silent hope that somebody here know what I am talking about and actually knows where to find it. So? Anybody?

[opensuse] 12.1 - konversation - no communication with IRC server after initial connection
by Stefan Gofferje 01 Jan '12

01 Jan '12

Hi all, I lately upgraded from 11.4 to 12.1. The upgrad was a reinstall but I kept the homedirs (NFS share). Now I can't chat on freenode, opensuse and flightgear IRC servers anymore. The connection is established, I see the typical disclaimers, etc. etc. etc. and then, when I type e.g. /join #opensuse, nothing happens. After a while, konversation shows "no answer from server since ... seconds". There is no error message or any hint. Now, interesting enough, connection to Shadowfire work without problems. Anybody any ideas? -S -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje | SCLT, MCP, CCSA //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | VCP #2263 V_/_ Heckler & Koch - the original point and click interface 18:52pm up 3 days 5:13, 4 users, load average: 0.29, 0.65, 1.03 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Why no IPv6 link local address?
by James Knott 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

My firewall is an old computer running openSUSE 11.3 and I have IPv6 running on it. However, the NIC facing my cable modem does not show an IPv6 link local address, which every NIC is supposed to have, if IPv6 is enabled. The NIC facing my LAN has both link local and public unicast addresses. I had considered that something in my cable modem might be inhibiting it, but when I plug my notebook computer directly into the modem, it has a link local address. Any idea why that one NIC doesn't have a link local address? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

No, ctrj-alt-F8 does nothing. ctrl-alt-F7 brings me to a black blank screen Bob, what does 'cat /proc/cmdline' say on a 12.1 boot now that you've installed the proprietary NVidia driver? bob@Easystreet:~> cat /proc/cmdline root=LABEL=st080suse121 ipv6.disable=1 noresume splash=verbose gnome.fallback=1 vga=normal video=640x480@75 bob@Easystreet:~> Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Can't Delete Items By Hitting Delete Button
by Swapnil Bhartiya 31 Dec '11

Hi, I came across a strange issue on openSUSE 12.1. I can delete any items on the desktop or inside any folders just by selecting and hitting the delete button of the keyboard. What could be the problem? Swapnil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to tell what video driver I am usung
by Bob S 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

This is with both 11.3 and 12.1 with KDE3/ I think that I upgraded my nvidia drivers in both distros. In 11.3 from an older version and in 12.1 from nouveau. Nothing noticeable in 11.3 but a major change in 12.1. screen is cleaner and sharper and video DVDs play properly, but my menus and task bar apps have gottern smaller and bearly readable. As an aside question will different drivers affect the dpi? To start with, what is the command to identify the drivers that are installed and working?

Thanks. That tells me that I am using the installed G02 (390) drivrers for the kmp kernel and X11. Can't believve that is the only way tell.

[opensuse] OpenSuSE 12.1 shutdown
by Lívio Cipriano 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

Hi, I've installed the above version in my Lenovo z60 laptop and none of the commands to shutdown the PC don't work: from KDE, from console, etc. The sustem turns down all the services and unmounts the file system, emits the halt to the console, but doesn't turn off the PC. I also, was the first time, that I made an actualization, from OpenSuSE 11.4, and not a installation from scratch. Is this a bug or I've to tweak something? -- Regards, Lívio Ciprian -- Regards, Lívio Cipriano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Uninstalling a package doesn't remove all the traces?
by LinuxIsOne 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

HI, I am not able to understand the uninstallation process of openSUSE, if I uninstall a program, its traces are still remained in the system. Example: I installed Chromium Web Browser from Yast. The package name is: "chromium" (without quotes). After that I uninstalled the same from Yast. Further this option was also checked: "Yast -> Software Management -> Options -> Cleanup when deleting packages", so that it cleans even the traces while uninstallation of a package is done. After uninstalling "chromium" from the Yast, I run the following command "sudo zypper rm --clean-deps chromium" to further clean the traces, now I reboot. Amazingly when I run the command "ls -a", I find the traces of the same uninstalled package ("chromium") in the following hidden directories which are ".cache" and ".config" which are in the users home directory. So while the uninstallation of the package ("chromium") was fully done (with Yast firstly and then running the command "sudo zypper rm --clean-deps chromium"), still why such traces are existing? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] rc... and systemctl
by jdd 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

Hello :-) one of the best trick in openSUSE is the "rc..." links to the init files. Pressing rc [TAB] lists all the services available. right now, on 12.1 this works even if systemd is working. I wonder if this will be kept in the future? I would like it. It's pretty easy to find the systemd equivallent (systemctl <command>, for example "systemctl restart vboxdrv.service"), but when one is in a hurry such short circuits are very handy. it seems pretty easy to manage (include "systemctl $1 vboxdriver.service" should do the job on the previous example) - at least when systemV will be no more used thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
