[opensuse-factory] should keyboards with active LEDs be suspended
by Oliver Neukum 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Hi, powersaving in the idle state requires the USB busses to be suspended. This means that all LEDs on keyboards (Num-lock, CapaLock, ...) will be deactivated. The keyboards behavior is not affected. Can we live with an inconsistency of this kind or should keyboards with active LEDs not go into powersave?

[opensuse-factory] suggested work around for zypper/libzypp
by Gabriel . 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Maybe you are already thinking on it, but I didn't read any comments about it. This will be a little enhancement for 11.0. On current versions, using zypper to update is a bit dangerous when a lot of packages are involved. For instance, zypper install the new packages removing the old one immediately after download, if for some reason the process can't finish ok (network problems, broken packages) is possible to finish with a non working system. IMHO, using the 'smart' approach would be better. First download all packages (keeping them on a special location), and after finishing the download, install them. If a problem occur during the download phase, just retry from the last successful downloaded package. Having the choice to keep the downloaded files would be useful too if someone want to update another system without the need to download all again. Best regards. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] GNUcash help index
by Donn Washburn 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

KDE Help Center is looking for /usr/share/gnucash/gnome/help/gnucash/C/gnucash-guide.xml. However, the location of the .xml file is /usr/share/gnome/help/gnucash/C/gnucash-guide.xml Therefore, "There is no documentation available for" before and after a index is built Where would I look to change this location short of move things. Just kidding!! /usr/share/gnucash/gnome/help/gnucash/C/gnucash-guide.xml is a good path So it looks like the KDR Help Center doesn't have permission to look there. /usr/share/gnucash/gnome is linked to ../gnome -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " n5xwb(a)hal-pc.org " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 Did you know?

[opensuse-factory] First install went well, but raid1 bootloader problem?
by Volker Kuhlmann 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

My first installation went without a hickup and everything looks good, after a quick glance anyway. Thanks!! I left the grub settings at the suggestion made by yast. root fs is /dev/md2 (it's a spare partition). Boot loader was installed to md2. System bootet fine - with the grub menu from the 10.2 installation on that system (which I had forced into mbr). Does this mean there would have been nothing much but a black screen on first boot had the previous boot loader not been there? How many people boot from a Linux software raid1? The booting works fine, but few releases of 8.x, 9.x and 10.[012] do install it functionally in my experience.

[opensuse-factory] ip_conntrack_max was NOT found
by William Holmes 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

First day running Suse 10.3. Fantastic. The only problem is that Arno's iptables firewall ver 1.8.8.8h writes the following warning to /var/log/boot.msg when starting at boot. I do not run SuSEfirewall2: ... WARNING: /proc/../ip_conntrack_max was NOT found. This may be a problem! Setting default conntrack timeouts /etc/init.d/arno-iptables-firewall: line 605: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_udp_timeout: No such file or directory /etc/init.d/arno-iptables-firewall: line 606: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream: No such file or directory ... In Suse 10.2 this message does not appear. Thanks for comments. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
