[opensuse-factory] Problems with Tumbleweed Kernel
by Sascha Manns 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Hello Mates, since two times (?) i have trouble after updating the Tumbleweed Kernel. After finishing the Update i make a reboot. Then after the reboot the first and second part of GRUB starts. But after choosing the new Kernel i''m getting the black screen of GRUB. Just after a manual adding of the root device in /boot/grub/menu.lst he comes up. But if the next updates i must each time manual hack the menu.lst i think it's too much work. Does anyone can reproduce this error? -- Sincerely Yours Sascha Manns open-slx Community & Support Agent openSUSE Membership Comitee openSUSE Marketing Team Web: http://saigkill.homelinux.net German Community Portal: http://community.open-slx.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Flash again - Fixed.
by Donn Washburn 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Hey Folks; To let everyone know it turned out to be a bad shutdown that caused my flash problem. I was in /home/me/.mozilla/firefox in a file which I am going to track down. However, my openSuSE permission guess was incorrect. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Skype:n5xwbg BMWMOA #:4146 Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Header-only or "safe" ffmpeg package
by todd rme 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

A number of multimedia-related libraries and programs have a soft dependency on ffmpeg, which they can make use of for various tasks. These libraries and programs need to be built against ffmpeg to have this capability. I was told that there might be either a version of ffmpeg that only includes headers or one that is stripped down and "safe" to use from a legal perspective available somewhere in openSUSE. I was hoping to see if these could be used for building these packages. Does anyone know if there is either a header-only or safe version of ffmpeg available and, if so, where? -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] corrupted pointer? 0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
by Stefan Seyfried 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hi developers, xfce4-power-manager is crashing on me sometimes during/after suspend. It rightfully dies when dereferencing battery->priv->type where battery->priv is: (gdb) print battery->priv $2 = (XfpmBatteryPrivate *) 0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (gdb) print battery->priv->type Cannot access memory at address 0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaae2 The gory details are in bug 707127. My question is: does this 0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ring a bell for somebody? Is this some magic value or does libnotify use this for something? Thanks for any hint, Stefan -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] mkinitrd: bogus disk data
by Felix Miata 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

I recently cloned a 40G Seagate HD to a 80G WD, then replaced the smaller with the larger. Now I get error messages about not finding any Seagate partitions when mkinitrd runs. Where could the bogus Perl-Bootloader by-id WARNING data be coming from? Does the newest mkinitrd need a perl that hasn't been pushed yet? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-factory] Why does flash fail
by Donn Washburn 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Why is it that Firefox will not see a flash document. In 11.4 it worked correctly and in 12.1 it fails This is a 64bit machine and I have tried openSuSE flash in /usr/lib64/browser-plugin and it never has worked here. So I have downloaded a flash plugin that works like crazy as "root" but not as a "user". My guess is it is a permission issue. Has anyone fixed this issue. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Skype:n5xwbg BMWMOA #:4146 Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed - virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop
by Jonas Gastal 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hello all, I'm using tumbleweed and would like to install virtualbox, however it depends on virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop version 4.0.4_k2.6.37.1_1.2-1.6.1 which in turn depends on kernel-desktop-base version 2.6.37.6-0.5.1. However tumbleweed has kernel-desktop version 2.6.39.3-37.1 which means I'd need to downgrade my kernel to use virtualbox. Could tumbleweed provide a version of virtualbox for the newer kernels?
