[opensuse] LibreOffice Spacing Bug causes Pre-defined Templates to print incorrectly
by David C. Rankin 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

Guys, This is just a FYI follow up to an earlier post on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35803 . This spacing bug in Libre not only affects user-created documents, but also affects all pre-defined templates that ship with Libre. If your users need to be able to create labels from the pre-defined label templates that come with Libre -- they will no longer align correctly. For example, if you try and create a simple sheet of labels for the Avery-5160 address label, the labels will not print correctly and the last row of labels will run off the bottom of the page. The labels print fine in OpenOffice, but due to the spacing bug, no longer work correctly in LibreOffice. -- David C.

[opensuse] dell vostro 1710 and live-cd 11.4
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

Tried the 11.4 live-cd on my Vostro 1710. The system booted up, things seemed to work, but the wireless card light never went on ant the slot used for camera memory chips is totally non functional. both items are fully functional in the main os of the laptop, suse 11.1 - x86-64, also in the windoze xp boot option. playing with Yast brought the message that the bcm43 firmware had to be intalled, clicked ok on it, still the wireless remained silent. Is there a way to get the wireless going in a live-cd boot? There is no space available for a test partition nor for a vm, so all testing must be done with the live-cd. also, any help in recognizing the sd (?) cards from cameras would be appreciated. thanks in advance, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] PTH Package creation for zypper
by Ruben Safir 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

hello I need to create a package for PTH threads that can drop in and replace the current standard one for opensuse 11.2 is there a resource to help me do that, or walk me through the steps I need to make sure that the pth threads has the –enable-syscall-hard flag set for the OKWS web server. Uninstalling pth with zypper would seem to be a disaster for a whole slew of core suse utilities.

[opensuse] HEADS UP: Your devices' UDMA may not be set correctly!
by Basil Chupin 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

A bug in the kernel has reappeared after being reported as fixed way back in 2009. It concerns the UDMA of your device/(s) not being set to the maximum limit because the kernel thinks that the device(s) is/are connected with a 40-wire cable when, in fact, an 80-wire cable is in place. This is my setup: IDE #1 connector- ata1.00 HDD with UDMA 133 ata1.01 CDROM with UDMA 33 IDE #2 connector- ata2.00 HDD with UDMA 100 ata2.01 DVDRW with UDMA 100 however the devices on line #2 are being configured for UDMA 33 because it is "limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable". Devices on line #1 are correctly configured (133 and 33 UDMA, respectively). There is a work around to this but I sincerely hope that someone who has access to the kernel maintainers can "hard code" this into the kernel rather than have this "workaround" inserted in the grub menu on boot time. The work around is this: add this to the boot parameters in the grub message: libata.force=X:=80c where X is the IDE line number (for example 1 or 2); in my case the problem is with devices on line #2 so I have added "libata.force=2:80c" and now these devices are both being correctly set to UDMA 100 - which makes a damn big difference to the transfer rates on these devices! ADDENDUM. The above fix is applicable when the libata is statically embedded in the kernel - and this is the case with the kernel in openSUSE 11.4 (2.6.37.1-1.2) - but when it isn't embedded then use "force=X:80c". (For those interested you can find discussion on this if you google or you can go to this bug report on another distrubution (Ubuntu) here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/195221 .
