[opensuse-factory] Banshee and Totem crash at watching video
by Kevin Dupuy 17 May '08

17 May '08

IN Beta 3, both Totem and Banshee crash as soon as I open a video. These, BTW, are videos that are playable in Totem and Banshee (an Ogg and an .AVI) In the console I'm getting the same error, so I wanted to share them with the list and hope you can advise me on how to proceed. -- Kevin "Yo" Dupuy | Public Mail <kevin.dupuy(a)opensuse.org> | Yo.media: 225-590-5961 Swift Change for a Green Future: Kat Swift for President www.VoteSwift.org kevin@linux:~/Desktop> totem --debug ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0 ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0 ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0 ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0 ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0 ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0 ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0 ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0 The program 'totem' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 50 error_code 11 request_code 140 minor_code 19) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

[opensuse-factory] Beta3 on vmware: no hard disks found
by Marc Ensenbach 16 May '08

16 May '08

Hello, when trying to install Beta3 (x86_64) on a vmware machine, I get the error message "No hard disks were found for the installation" and the installation fails. This seems strange to me since on the same machine Beta2 was installable without problems. Can anyone reproduce this?

[opensuse-factory] Feature request: open-vm-tools as part of the release
by Sunny 16 May '08

16 May '08

Hi, I always try new test releases in a VMware virtual machines. The current opensuse 11.0 alpha 2 fails to compile the supplied vmware-tools modules, as the VMware package does not support 2.6.24 kernels. VMWare have open-sourced the tools here: http://open-vm-tools.sourceforge.net/ I have tried to build from these sources, and the modules build OK and integrated in 10.0 alpha2. So, I suggest that an rpm is build out of these sources, and included as standard with any opensuse release, so it can flawlessly be used in virtual machines. Is there a better place than this mailing list to post such a feature request? Like bugzilla, or something else? Cheers -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] kde related-bugs - notify on bugs.kde.org?
by Roberto Mannai 16 May '08

Hi all just a tip: should I notify the bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=384171 to the KDE bug tracking system (http://bugs.kde.org/)? Or is this superfluous?

[opensuse-factory] error message on all rpm tasks
by Putrycz, Erik 16 May '08

16 May '08

For some reasons I ignore, every time I run an installation or uninstallation with rpm I get error: failed to stat /var/lib/gdm/.gvfs: Permission denied The rpm command seems to work properly though... any clues?

[opensuse-factory] strange error dialog with eclipse under gnome
by Putrycz, Erik 15 May '08

15 May '08

After launching eclipse and within few minutes, I get this strange error dialog: "Could not initialize the application's security component...". I cannot even figure out the source of this, and nothing in .xsession-errors It must be something new in gnome. Any clues? Erik.

[opensuse-factory] YaST2 Package Manager
by Michael Riess 15 May '08

15 May '08

hi to the Yast-Developers I really like the new Package-Management in factory/11.0 and the new YaST-Module! There are 2 things on my wishlist: 1. could you please do a title into the windows of the YaST-modules so one could identify the Tasks in the Task-Bar? 2. there is "File List" as Tab in the Package-Manager but no "Script List" my suggestion is to have 2 Tabs called "Files" and "Scripts" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] firefox port 16001 problem
by Volker Kuhlmann 15 May '08

15 May '08

How is one supposed to deal with this problem in the context of the not-so-technically minded? LAN setup where one host acts as X server for another, using xdmcp and permitting inbound tcp on port 6000 and a remote-login. I.e. the KDE desktop runs on the remote host, but is displayed locally. All works fine - until firefox comes along. A click on the firefox icon does nothing - the thing takes hours to start up and runs like molasses. Turns out the firefox binary on remote is opening a tcp connection to the local X server host port 16001 - something esd related. The port is blackholed of course, like everything not explicitly needed, and the timeouts make ff unusable. Does this mean one has to not bother with running a firewall to ensure things run (same as opening all other random ports), or that ill-behaved applications are trouble, or... ?
