[opensuse] Boot Splash not available when 10.3 installed without CD
by prakash c.s. 26 Oct '07

26 Oct '07

Hi, I installed openSUSE 10.3 GNOME CD version by following the document. (http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD). Installation was successful without any error. when i boot into the installed system there is no boot spalsh screen, it prints the booting process (just scrolling text) and then displays Login screen (gdm). the boot splash package is installed and the kernel line in the grub(menu.lst) also has the argument for splash, files related to the boot splash is also available in the etc directory. is there any way to get the boot splash screen. regards, c.s.prakash. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No Autostart of Compiz; compiz-manager installed
by David C. Rankin J.D. P.E. 26 Oct '07

26 Oct '07

Listmates, For some reason compiz does not fully start when logging in. http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz-Fusion says: "Note: Compiz is enabled by default if you installed compiz-manager package. Do not set up any other autostart scripts." When logging in, nothing works until "fusion-icon" is run. Nothing works means (no keyboard, no window decor, and only one big fat desktop icon in the middle of the taskbar). running fusion-icon seems to start compiz and the compiz-splash soon appears and thereafter the desktop is fine. Looking at compiz-manager, is there anything that should be in: # For Xgl LD_PRELOAD LIBGL_NVIDIA="" LIBGL_FGLRX="" Additionally, this looks to be a huge problem: # blacklist based on the pci ids # See http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/Blacklist for details T=" 1002:5954 1002:5854 1002:5955" # ati rs480 T="$T 1002:4153" # ATI Rv350 compiz-manager "blacklists" the ATI Rv350, which is the exact same incorrect driver sax2 selected for my ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series card. See related post: "[opensuse] Yast/Sax2 Bug - ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series". Why is this blacklisted here? I have added fglrx to the WHITELIST and set INDIRECT="yes". Even though compiz-manager calls fusion-icon, it does not look like it ever actually gets called. That is what is strange about having to run fusion-icon manually. Does anyone have any other thoughts on how to make compiz start at login and start correctly? Other than these small problem, the desktop looks absolutely fantastic. Great job suse-compiz. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Has anyone else that is using 10.3 and evolution noticed their contacts list auto adding addresses even though that setting is turned off?

Where can I find an exact list of all installed YaST modules on my machine? I want the actual names list, not just look at the YaST menu and see what's there. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Compiz - How to put SuSE Updater back in the systray?
by David C. Rankin J.D. P.E. 26 Oct '07

26 Oct '07

On 10.3, Compiz is working, but I can't get opensuse updater back into the systray? If I manually start it, when I close it, it goes completely away and doesn't remain active in the systray. I've tried add applet and add application, but that just sticks the button in there. I recall a prior post, but can't find it now. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[opensuse] High utilization when resuming from suspend to disk after upgrade to 10.3
by Ian 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

I've recently upgraded my system from 10.2 to 10.3 and when I resume from suspend to disk, I get the following sort of entries in top: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 10137 root 13 -5 0 0 0 S 9999 0.0 33735:11 events/1 10133 root 11 -5 0 0 0 R 9999 0.0 31987:34 kondemand/1 10130 root 39 19 0 0 0 R 9999 0.0 2884:40 ksoftirqd/1 Occasionally, other processes also reach a %CPU of 9999, but these 3 remain there almost continually. This didn't happen in 10.2 and the %CPU values are rather interesting! Mostly the system still runs normally, but at times it becomes VERY slow. As far as I can tell, this only occurs after a suspend/resume. Does anyone else see the same sort of behaviour? Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc

[opensuse] Yast/Sax2 Bug - ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series
by David C. Rankin J.D. P.E. 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Sax2 does not properly recognize the ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series card on Toshiba P35 laptops and incorrectly selects "ATI Rv350 NP" as the card and provides a pop-up saying that 3d isn't available: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/sax2ati3d_error.png glxinf and fglrxinfo both correctly see the card: 15:55 rankin-p35a~/Pictures/screenshots> fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series OpenGL version string: 2.0.6958 Release This did not occur with the 8.41 driver. It did/does occur with the 8.40 and 8.42 ati driver. The card "does" support 3D, so this is very confusing when your are trying to get the drivers installed and troubleshoot the installation. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
