[opensuse] Is beagle supposed to find emails?
by Carlos E. R. 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Beagle is running almost continuously (beagle-0.2.17-6.1 in suse 10.2), indexing and using most of my cpu. Currently, beagle-status says: Scheduler: Count: 70780 Status: Executing task Idle 0 (10/24/2007 11:06:54 PM) RemoveOldThunderbirdMails So, I try to find some thing. I bring up the search dialog, and tell it to find "suse". Surely, I have thousands and thousands of emails from this lists, so beagle it's sure to find some? Well, it finds exactly 5 emails, and is utterly unable to display any of them. Like this: Subject: Re: [opensuse] 10.3 and evolution From: Teruel de Campo MD Date Received: October 4 Folder: lists.sbd/os-en If I click on it, it opens thunderbird, which displays nothing... which is not surprising, as thunderbird is not my main mail client, and the indexes in lists.sbd are obsolete. So... how do I tell beagle to forget thunderbird and search for mails where they really are? More. I tell it to search for "linux". It appears to find: Two applications: remote controls and irkick. Four documents: procmail.log, inbox.msf, trash.msf, nstmp..msf Five email conversations (the same as for "suse", it seems. two websites, both local: suse help and susehelp. So, the real question should be: Is beagle any good? If it is unable to find any thing useful, I might as well remove it, and reclaim the 678978722 bytes of its indexes (for just one user!) - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFHH9FntTMYHG2NR9URAs94AJ93Bw1Tykz8z/0g/Jn4vrk3qPzIqwCcCdvM OUsjjzKSFtIM3T3l14GAQBA= =mZ0o -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] login with fingerprint reader in KDE?
by Carlos F Lange 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

The Wiki (http://en.opensuse.org/Using_Fingerprint_Authentication) indicates only GDM (Gnome) or a login shell currently allow login with fingerprint swipe in 10.3. Is there any way to activate the login in KDM for KDE also? -- Carlos FL Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Can I verify using k3b?
by John E. Perry 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

I finally worked up the courage to upgrade to 10.3. Using K3b, I wrote a dvd, but some time in the past, the verify and "do not eject" buttons got unchecked and I didn't notice it. K3b completed without error, but, since it ejected the dvd, it errored out, and now I have a (probably) good dvd to use for installation, but can't convince K3b to verify it. Should I just burn a new dvd, or is there some way to verify its contents before destroying my 10.2 system?

[opensuse] CPU MHz & BogoMIPS in /etc/cpuinfo vs. BIOS Hardware Parameters
by Randall R Schulz 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hi, I've been tweaking the overclocking on my Core 2 Duo system (running openSUSE 10.3 with all current updates and patches installed) and have, for now at least, settled on these values: - Base clock: 333 MHz - CPU Multiplier 9 (2.997 GHz) - DRAM Multiplier 5:2 (833 MHz) The BIOS reports are consistent with these settings, but everything displayed under Linux seems to reflect the default CPU multiplier value of 10. Thus, KSensors and /proc/cpuinfo (KPowersave, as well) show the CPU clock as 3.33 GHz. What's even more inexplicable (to me) is the fact that the bogoMIPS value is consistent with this (w.r.t. the values it had when the CPU multiplier _was_ set to the default 10): 6662 and 6658. (When the base clock was 300 and the CPU multiplier was 10, bogoMIPS was about 6000.) The reason I find this inexplicable is that I thought bogoMIPS was computed empirically, by running some simple timing loops. If that's correct, then this value should reflect the actual CPU speed of 3 GHz, right? Can anyone explain this?

[opensuse] OpenSUSE 10.3 remote administration with vnc on minimal-graphics installation
by Lollero 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hi, I'm unable to get login screen when connecting to my freshly installed OpenSUSE 10.3 box with vnc. My installation is made with "Minimal-graphics" selected from the install menu. On OpenSUSE 10.2 this works. Remote administration works if I install either gnome or kde desktop. Any ideas where to start looking? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Well, it seems the hardware only works with SLES or RH, or at least that's what a colleague told me, and it says so on FSC's Website (although it's hard to get there...), so a SLES it will be.
