[opensuse] thunderbird can't exit full screen
by lynn 31 Dec '12

31 Dec '12

Hi 12.2 with XFCE When I hit 'Write' in tb, it fills the whole screen. There is no window border and the write window fills the whole screen. I have to do File > Close to get rid of it. How can I get the borders back so I can manipulate and resize the write window? I've tried pressing Esc, but nothing. Thanks, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 12.2 lockup starting DM after exiting startx
by Felix Miata 31 Dec '12

31 Dec '12

I've a bunch of systems with OS 12.2, but only one or two with TDE. On the one currently wired up, which uses sysvinit-init instead of systemd init, I normally boot to runlevel 3, same as on most of my systems. If as normal user I do startx -- :1, exit TDE, and then switch to runlevel 5, the system quickly locks up completely, and puts the display in sleep mode. IIRC, this doesn't happen on KDE3 or KDE4 systems. :-( Where in the world does one begin to try to figure out the cause?

How could I make the warning go away? Ie, make fetchmail accept the certificate silently (at least not at warning syslog level)? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

Hi All, New to opensuse, I try to build the newly installed machine with its current kernel version.

[opensuse] how to turn off Tracker in a config file?
by Carlos F. Lange 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

Some package I installed made my KDE start using Gnome Tracker in addition to Nepomuk. tracker-miner-fs is using a tonne of memory and there are many tracker related processes. I know I can try disable it through the Applications/System/Search and Indexing tool, but I would like to turn it off automatically for all my 12.2 machines. Is there a config file setting that turns off Tracker? -- Carlos F Lange -- Recursive: Adj.

[opensuse] How to pass arguments to X from GDM?
by Roger Luedecke 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

I need to do the following, but don't want to switch to KDM: Set this DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_LOCALARGS="-core" in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and also you have to switch to kdm. (Or investigate how to pass arguments to X via gdm or whatever you use.) When you have everything all right, ps should show Xorg -br :0 vt7 ... -core. Now it generates core files on crashes. You can set locations of those by: sysctl kernel.core_pattern=/core Is there any /core* after the freeze occurs? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] automount 12.2: anything changed concerning wildcard keys?
by Joachim Schrod 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

Hi, I'm updating a 11.4 system to 12.2, so the change of behavior mentioned below might have happened in between. But I don't have appropriate systems with intermediate distributions to check, so I ask here... I use autofs (a.k.a. automount), with an entry in auto.master /net /etc/auto.net -soft,intr /etc/auto.net reads: * &:/ I.e., any host's root file system shall be available as an NFS share via /net/$HOST. In 11.4, this works. In 12.2, it doesn't. Starting automount with debug/foreground/verbose options (or calling autofs with -m) explains that the respective key (the host name) for /net is not known. Well, it shall be looked up and mounted by automount, but isn't... :-( There are no further error messages in automount output; not anything that would supply a lead for the root cause. I'm not yet ready to debug automount to get further information. ;-) I googled and didn't find any documented change of semantics for autofs/automount. Is this an expected change of behavior, or is this a bug? Here's hoping for more information, Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod, Roedermark, Germany Email: jschrod(a)acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Fwd: Regarding 32-bit AMD Radeon HD Drivers for openSUSE 12.2
by Gaurav Sood 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

Hi all. I have just installed the 32-bit version openSUSE 12.2. I am facing issues with installing the driver for Radeon HD card. I have a 6470m card. I tried two solutions, and both of them failed: 1) 1-click installer for fglrx 2) atiupdate Both of them resulted in loss of GUI. I am looking for a generic solution which would enable me to install the driver on all architectures. Awaiting reply, Regards, Gaurav -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
