[opensuse-factory] gnome-keyring-daemon gone madddd
by Patrick Shanahan 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Being quite adventurous and nosey, I installed and tried gnome and evolution. I have removed evolution returned to kde4, but gnome-keyring-daemon has gone wild. I have had as high as 2000 instances revealed by 'ps aux' and matching directories in /tmp. This seems amiss and searches reveal others with concerns and some bug reports which seem to be "fixed". Not here. I have removed the keyring directory from ~/.config/autostart/gnome-keyring-daemon.desktop as was suggested on one of the searches, to no avail. Is someone familiar with this condition and is their a solution short of removing all of the gnome*.rpm's? tks, -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Adobe reader in factory
by Atri 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hi! Adobe has launched adobe reader 9 some time back. It has better launch speeds and other improvements. http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/reasons_to_upgrade/ However factory non-oss still has adobe 8.1.x. Are there plans to include adobe reader 9 for 11.2 or is it too late already? -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Add VBoxGuestAdditions.iso to non-free
by Stephan Kleine 19 Aug '09

Sorry for top posting but I just subscribed. Stephan Kulow wrote: > What I wonder: what is the advantage of having an .iso in the distribution > that can be downloaded 1:1 from other sources? For the same reason we have Acrobat Reader, Opera, Flash player, SUN JRE / JDK and the other stuff in there. It is easier to install, is installed globally instead of a per user base and one gets automatic updates. Last but not least it does no harm. Or in other words: What is the problem with including it in the non-oss repo. I see only advantages.

No, the iso is currently provided only with the binary VirtualBox version (iirc, I might be wrong) or available as separate download which had to be done per user. Also I fail to see how the availability of that .iso would make the installation procedure "annoying" since neither would anyone force you to use it nor would it do more than placing said .iso into /usr/share/virtualbox. Further those KMP packages you want to have are already available since quite a few versions. The problem with them is that they sometimes don't work so one has to compile the additions manually and obviously they work only for openSUSE and therefore not for any other Linux, BSD, Windows, ... so one needs the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso there to build them. In short: besides the obvious advantages of having something installable via package management are there any disadvantages? I honestly fail to see some.

[opensuse-factory] Pulseaudio with dmix
by Takashi Iwai 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hi, while I also have been annoyed sometimes by the blocking behavior of Pulseaudio, I tried to hack it yesterday a bit, to cope with ALSA dmix. Basically, PA itself can run well with dmix PCM when explicitly specified at loading module-alsa-{sink,source} modules. But, this requires the change of the system-wide config file, and also it doesn't work with HAL detection. What I've done is to add a new option, pcm_default, to module-hal-detect and module-alsa-card modules. When this option is set to 1, "default" PCM (normally dmix) is taken instead of "hw" and other exclusive accesses that PA usually prefers. This is an easy part. Now, the question is how gracefully integrating this into the system. You may have both GNOME and KDE (or whatever else) on a single system. Thus it's not wise to change the system default only for dmix or not. Also, it's not sexy to copy the whole /etc/default.pa at each time (think of updating packages). And, PA has no config files to specify module options. As a workaround, I extended the PA config parser to allow the nested if/else/endif, and accept the path like ~/foo. With these extensions, /etc/default.pa can have a block like the following: .ifexists ~/.pulse-detect .include ~/.pulse-detect .else .... normal detection ... .endif Now, just put the following line into your ~/.pulse-detect, PA works with dmix without breaking any others: load module-hal-detect pcm_default=1 If ~/.pulse-detect doesn't exist, the system-wide detection will be used (i.e. for GNOME). Test packages can be found in OBS home:tiwai:branches:multimedia:libs/pulseaudio repo. (FACTORY packages don't seem to be built yet, though.) The new patches are found as pulse-*.diff. This is a pure hack done in a couple of hours, and there is no guarantee that the upstream will be satisfied with it. So, I'm not sure whether we should take this to FACTORY now or not. But, at least, it'd be better for them to keep PA than dropping completely... Any comments / suggestions / test reports appreciated. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Firefox 3.5.2 become very instable
by Dominique Leuenberger 19 Aug '09

Hi, I seem to have major issues with my Firefox lately. Even going to http://www.facebook.com just let's it crash. Many other sites do work. I was not yet able to pinpoint on anything special that would cause it (maybe javascript usage?) Any ideas are welcome.

[opensuse-factory] Gnome display
by Jon Cosby 18 Aug '09

I can't resize the display of a Gnome guest in VirtualBox. I'm stuck with a small 800x600 (or 640x480) window. Other than changing the host settings, does someone know of a way to adjust this?
