[opensuse] watermarks when printing with cups ?
by Per Jessen 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

I'm experimenting with adding a watermark/letterhead to a cups printing queue. I've seen a couple of suggestions on the net, the most promising ones by way of a cups filter and some postscript trickery. My problem is right now that the printjobs are sent as PJL, which ps2pdf, pdftk etc. cannot or will not deal with. My situation is essentially - I have a letterhead document (in odt, pdf or ps format) that I would like to add to every page printed in a dedicated cups queue. I don't want to fiddle with the *office setup on any individual PC, I want this to happen transparently.

[opensuse] GTK defaults apps in KDE
by Michael Harnden 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Seems like this should be simple, but this one has me stumped. I am using a GTK app (Vuescan) on 12.2 and kde 4.9.4. If I scan to pdf, Vuescan wants to open GIMP instead of Okular. I have Okluar set as my default app in File Association - System Settings. Where should I be looking to change this?

[opensuse] Can't boot VM - need to have a kernel first?
by Greg Freemyer 06 Jan '13

06 Jan '13

All, I've got a vmware VM I haven't used a few weeks. This is a Win7 laptop, but the VM is openSUSE 12.2. When I try to boot it tells me it can't load the initial ram disk because it has to have a kernel loaded first. I've attached a screenprint. I've got other openSUSE VM's on this laptop, but I don't have a openSUSE ISO / CD / DVD handy. What's a good way to fix this? If I download the network install CD, will it have a repair option? fyi: Nothing overly valuable on VM, I just have it configured to do packaging work, so it will save me some hassle not to have trash it.

[opensuse] Computer boots from hard disk only
by Oszkó Albert 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

Hi all, I already asked this on our local list, but no advance yet. I have a dual oS 12.1 (64 bit, KDE 4.9.5)/ Win7 (32 bit) system. I wanted to upgrade to oS 12.2. Since my DVD reader does not work, I created a live CD with KDE on a CD disk with K3b (of course to be used in another optical drive), and also prepared a live USB with the same content with image writer. I set the boot sequence in BIOS but to no avail. I got a black screen with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner and the process stopped here. When removable disk is before HDD in the boot sequence then the system boots as normal from HDD, that is USB skipped. But if CD drive is before HDD then booting locks up with that black screen. The HDD is SATA, the optical drive and another HDD is on an IDE cable. I changed the IDE ribbon cable, upgraded BIOS, reset BIOS to factory default, but did not succeed. Also tried all six USB ports, but nothing happenned. The USB ports and CD-RW work normally either in oS or in Win7. The motherboard is ASUS P5Q-EM, with 3 GB DDR2 RAM. Any help is welcome.

[opensuse] diagram editor
by Hans Witvliet 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi all, I'm looking for an alternative diagram editor (mainly for networks) At work some use visio, that has nice libraries, but is handling connection in a horrible way. I was starting to use "dia" but it's output gave me harsh comments from co-workers. So, any other alternatives? Someone pointed towards yED (fom http://www.yworks.com) But the fact that you have to download a bin blob (it is neither in the OBS:editors nor in anyones home:/ dir), which you have run is a bit suspicious. (perhaps i'm paranoid or so) Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] The 12.2 installer is smarter than I thought
by Anton Aylward 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

A while back I asked about upgrading Mandriva to openSuse and wondered how smart the installer was. was told that cross distribution upgrades normally didn't work, but that Mageia was written by people that had left mandrake when it became Mandriva and that Mageia could update Mandrake/Mandriva. See early post for my reasons. Well thank you guys, I did upgrade to Mageia 2 and am happy with that. But I also put Mageia on a scratch machine and pushed it around in was that I wouldn't dream of for a production machine .... you know the kind of abuse .... :-) And then I decided to put openSuse 12.2 on the scratch machine. In went the DVD, reboot and when it do the the screen where I said "probing ..." it then offered "Install or upgrade". WTF I picked upgrade and Lo And Behold the installer was smart enough to upgrade my Mageia to openSuse ! Well almost. When it got to the bootloader it tried to install LILO. Nonono, I'd been using grub. I went back and it did not offer me a choice of the bootloader. It then muffed Lilo and and I had a system that wouldn't boot. You can, I found, "upgrade" all over again, but it still doesn't want to use grub.

[opensuse] daemon Replacement in systemctl System on Koha - openSUSE Server
by Andi Sugandi 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi Listmates, I'm going to help[1] on making Koha[2] as easy as possible to run on newest openSUSE version; there are some features that need more attentions to look after to meet the goal. For now, The Koha Zebra Search Server uses conventional *daemon*[3] tool to serve user so items (books, recordings, etc.) are searchable on OPAC page. As openSUSE 12.2 starts to using systemctl as replacement of SysV init system, what should be modified on the "koha-zebra-ctl.sh" script[4] on existing systemctl system? What do you think?

When the camera first initializes it looks right for about one second, then goes dark. In Cheeze I can adjust the brightness, but this of course doesn't work in Skype or Google Hangouts. Also Cheeze hangs when trying to record video. I'd like to fix this of course.

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.
