[opensuse] Just wanted to know.....

On my computer I just like to update my 11.4 with the latest so I do a regular zypper dup. No big problems up to now but as I see the daily harvest of changes I just wonder if somebody could give me the story behind such changes. Today e.g. there was a change for libfm 0.1.14_rc2-82.1 -> 0.1.14_rc2-83.1 No idea what is using this lib but I just wonder who thinks and decides to start changing e.g this lib and looking at the numbering it must have been a small change. sometimes the change is also to an earlier version. Has somebody put more changes into such a work and than found out that it was more than it should be? Is there place where I could look into the kitchen? Do not want to cook myself ;) but just would like to see the cook at work. -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.0.0-rc3-3-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.6.4 (4.6.4) 18:58pm up 1 day 2:14, 3 users, load average: 4.02, 2.98, 2.51 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Andi Sugandi 26 Jun '11

Hi List mates, The repo is: $ zypper lr -d | grep mozilla:beta 9 | mozilla:beta| mozilla:beta | Yes | Yes|98| rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla:/beta/openSUSE_11.4 | and, this is when I try to install it: # zypper install MozillaFirefox-4.99-7.1.x86_64 Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... Problem: nothing provides mozilla-nss >= 3.12.10 needed by MozillaFirefox-4.99-7.1.x86_64 Solution 1: do not install MozillaFirefox-4.99-7.1.x86_64 Solution 2: break MozillaFirefox by ignoring some of its dependencies Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c): c I can see that Firefox 5 (Beta) can be installed on openSUSE Factory[0], so there should be no problem if we do it on 11.4.

[opensuse] vmtools problem...
by Anders Norrbring 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

Has anybody else seen this when trying to run vmtoolsd in a VMware Server or ESXi virtual machine? Guest is 11.4.. [ warning] [vmtoolsd] The vmsvc service needs to run inside a virtual machine. Seems a bit odd. Anders. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi all! Is there a way to tell Kmail's filter if there are over X-number of "To " addresses to put it in spam?

[opensuse] Re: LibreOffice does not run
by Chuck Davis 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

Anyone else having a problem getting LO to run? I have all updates applied to 11.4 (including KDE4.6.4). The splash screen shows when I try to start office (wrapper), calc or writer and then disappears into oblivion with nothing running. This happened after a recent update -- it used to run fine. I've uninstalled and reinstalled as well. What am I missing?

[opensuse] Router? Splitter?...
by Insomniac 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

Hi all, I'm looking into getting satellite internet, since all the dial-up ISP's are making it harder and harder for me to stay online the amount of time that I do (I'm disabled and being on the computer is all I have to keep myself occupied and from going insane with nothing to do). My mom will also be sharing the satellite hookup too, so we only have to pay for one modem etc. My question is: What would be best to use so that all I have to do is run a cable from her computer and one from my computer to the modem. I mean, how should I set it up so that both of us can use the same, single satellite modem? What would be best, and most importantly, easiest? Also, will our opensuse 11.3 pick up this new connection readily? Or will I have to do a bunch of cli stuff and wondering what and how to get connected? Any advice and help with this is greatly appreciated.

[opensuse] "Disabling IRQ #16" and Video Slow-Down
by Randall R Schulz 25 Jun '11

25 Jun '11

Hi, In my new openSUSE 11.4 I'm noticing a couple of odd phenomena, which seem to be correlated: 1) Every once in a while, there's a system message (displayed in shell windows and in the notifier widget) that says "... Disabling IRQ #16" (I believe I've seen it say #19, too). 2) After a few of these "... Disabling ..." messages, I notice that drawing becomes slow and sluggish and is most noticeable with some of the desktop effects like fading in and out and the rotating cube desktop switching animation. By some measures the graphics slow-down is extreme. The glxgears FPS number drops by a factor of well over 1000! Then, while running glxgears (as it showed me FPS numbers in the teens), KWin suspended desktop effects. At that point, glxgears returned to FPS numbers in the 25,000 range. If I then re-enable desktop effects, glxgears' FPS numbers again drop into the teens (and KWin suspends desktop effects). The first time this happened, I logged out and back in (knowing this causes the Xorg server to restart and the nVidia drivers to presumably be closed and reopened) and normal performance was restored for about 3 1/2 hours before the slow-down reoccurred. This system has new hardware, all of it very fast. The video card is an nVidia GTX 550 Ti with 1 GB of RAM. I installed the proprietary nVidia driver from the repository linked from opensuse.org's Additional Repositories page. Any hints or suggestions for diagnosing this problem?

[opensuse] Influencing zypper update output?
by Joachim Schrod 25 Jun '11

25 Jun '11

Hi, When I call zypper update, it first lists all packages that are available from several repositories in newer versions and that will not be updated since it would be a repository resp. vendor change. (It's a rather long list since I don't take everything from Packman or from various specialized repositories. :-)) Well, I know that I don't want to update these packages; I would have called zypper dup if I really wanted to. Is there any way to make zypper not output this first section?

[opensuse] X11 forwarding on 11.4
by Patrick Shanahan 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

I have two main boxes running, 11.2 which I replaced and relegated to server status for email and http, and 11.4 as main box. I ssh into the 11.2 box to read mail and administer ... I can access 11.2 from 11.4 and my wife's win7 (cygwin w/X and/or putty) box via ssh -X w/o any problem. Can run X apps w/o a problem. But with identical /etc/ssh/ssh{d}_config files I cannot forward X from 11.4 to the win7 box. I get: ssh -X user(a)192.168.1.10 xterm Password: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: xterm: DISPLAY is not set adding -vv to the ssh request provides: debug2: input_userauth_info_req debug2: input_userauth_info_req: num_prompts 0 debug1: Authentication succeeded (keyboard-interactive).
