[opensuse] Adding additional repo's
by Frans de Boer 14 May '15

When I select "Community Repositories" I get the next error message: Internal error..... Details: Cannot find client installation/misc.rb Caller: /usr/lib64/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.1.0/yast/yast.rb:108:in 'find_include_file' Suggestions what I seem to miss or maybe have to reinstall again, or...?

[opensuse] Covert image of wave to audio
by Dylan 14 May '15

14 May '15

Hi All, I reckon this is a long shot, but here goes... I have a copy of a recent ECG which I would like to extract into a usable form. Basically, I'd be looking for a program which would take the image file of the trace and output a wav (or other suitable filetype) analogous to an OCR program 'reading' an image to text. Does anyone know of any such software, or even something which would allow me to do it manually? Thanks for any pointers Dylan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

As simple as typing "yast" in the terminal... it is a TUI (similar to a GUI, but in text mode).

I think you should ask that in a different question, here it get lost :-) I would, however, not run updates against the host while virtualization of any kind is running. Obviously you can update the guest any time, there is no other way. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] change opensuse email addrs to different provider
by Patrick Shanahan 13 May '15

13 May '15

I am changing internet providers and am failing to redirect my opensuse mail addresses. I went to novell/attachmate and changed my mail address from roadrunner to gmail and it appears to have set, but I am still receiving list mail to paka(a)opensuse.org via roadrunner (according to mail headers). https://en.opensuse.org/Special:Preferences indicates the desired change? What do I have to do to complete this change? tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Install OS Tumbleweed to thumbdrive NOT live
by Adolph & Sharon Weidanz 13 May '15

13 May '15

Hey all, Since I have a really stable 13.1, but I want try out tumbleweed and plasma 5 I am looking for some help. This is NOT a live dvd. I can put that on the flash drive and boot from it. What I can't do is install programs to it and have them persist. I want to install a full version so I can try and run all the programs that I need to have. I have tried making bootable drive using rufus and and even manually, but no go. When I try and use the install disk about 100 programs won't install and it won't write the boot loader. Just to throw a wrinkle in, I have a UEFI computer. so I want that to work as well The TW is Snapshot20150508 Thanks -- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes _.._ _ ."\__/"./`_\ _/__<__>__\/ jgs `"/_/""""\_\\ Adolph & Sharon Weidanz PADI MSDT/OWSI 283315 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Discontinued releases
by Roger Oberholtzer 13 May '15

13 May '15

Does anyone know who maintains http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/discontinued/ I ask because it seems to stop at 12.2. It is a nice idea and it would be great it it could continue for more releases... Also, this page is referenced on https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mirrors#EOL_Mirrors so it might be nice if it was maintained. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] LibreOffice and google-carlito-fonts
by Roger Oberholtzer 13 May '15

13 May '15

LibreOffice 4.4 requires google-carlito-fonts. That package is in the repos for LibreOffice 4.3 and LibreOffice Factory. But not the one for 4.4, I don't think I want to add the 4.3 or Factory repo to get the fonts package as that will surely cause other problems. I could add the M17N:fonts repo that also has the google-carlito-fonts package. But if that is the place to get the fonts, why are they also in some - but not all - LibreOffice repos? Could it be that LibreOffice has a Requires, but not a BuildRequires for these fonts, so the build proceeds even though installation may fail? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Disk i/o very unresponsive?
by Greg Freemyer 13 May '15

13 May '15

I do a lot of heavy USB-3 disk i/o, but today I'm throwing in a drive connected via eSata. This is with a laptop that I use all the time for disk i/o intensive tasks. I've got the equivalent of: dd if=/dev/eSata_drive of=/dev/USB3_drive bs=4kb going on. (I don't know what bs my app is actually using.) My throughput is around 38 MB/sec which is surprisingly slow, but not crazy slow. More surprising is the laptop otherwise acts almost frozen. I had done some work on another USB-3 drive. I issued a "umount" command to it about 15 minutes ago and it still hasn't unmounted. Or at least I don't think it has. I can't even use alt-F2 or contrl-alt-F2 to get back to the virtual console. I had also tried to log into virtual console 4. After 5 minutes it had not logged in. As it stands the only thing I can do is observe virtual console 3. I'm getting status updates and it claims my copy task will be done in 45 minutes or so. I hope so, I'd like to be able to use that PC again.
