[opensuse] How To Route Out Leftover Pre-Upgrade Packages?
by Randall R Schulz 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hi, I just encountered a problem with MySQL, the symptom of which was a failure to start the server because of a dynamic link failure: rcmysql start Updating MySQL privilege database... /usr/bin/mysql_upgrade: relocation error: /usr/bin/mysql_upgrade: symbol dynstr_append_os_quoted, version libmysqlclient_15 not defined in file libmysqlclient.so.15 with link time reference failed It turns out the problem was some old MySQL packages that I assume were left over from my 10.2 installation (they showed no repository name when viewed in YaST Software Management). Removing the old packages and installing the current ones resolved the problem. I'd like to systematically enumerate such pre-upgrade packages, but manually stepping through the entire list of installed packages in YaST looking for those not associated with a current repository is far too tedious and time-consuming to be practical. Is there a CLI way to list packages grouped by repository from which they were installed or those that are "orphaned?" I know that the Repositories view in YaST Software Management will list all the packages available in each configured repository, but the packages I'm most concerned with are those that are no longer associated with any repository and as far as I know don't show up there.

[opensuse] Klipper and firefox annoyance workaround
by Will Stephenson 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Anyone using firefox under KDE will have noticed that in 10.3, klipper started popping up its action menu when a URL was highlighted in the firefox location field. This is because firefox changed its window id, used by klipper to identify which apps not to respond to. Popping up an 'open in konqueror/firefox/etc' menu when editing the URL in firefox doesn't make much sense. To fix this, 1) right click the Klipper icon in the system tray. Select Configure Klipper... 2) go to the Actions tab 3) click Advanced... 4) In the dialog that appears, enter 'gecko' (in lower case) and click Add. 5) Click Ok twice to close the configure dialogs. I'll sneak this into the next online update (#336257) too, as it's been driving me mad.

by Otto Rodusek (AP-SGP) 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hi, Is there a way to change the size of the icons on the desktop (kde) so that I can line up more icons vertically? I tried with yast and also tried desktop properties but I can't seem to find any place to make this change. Thanks for any advice. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Playlists
by Kaare Rasmussen 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hi As I now nothing about music playing I'll ask this list how to play and serve music. I've ripped a large part of my music collection to hard disk. I'd like to make playlists for each CD, and for all the operas also play the whole thing, often meaning two to three CDs. So here's my ignorance. Are playlists interchangable between media players? Any program that will recurse my music directory and make playlists for each subdir? Any good music server that I can use, even remotely? What do people do here? -- Med venlig hilsen Kaare Rasmussen, Jasonic Jasonic Telefon: +45 3816 2582 Nordre Fasanvej 12 2000 Frederiksberg Email: kaare(a)jasonic.dk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] strange display for Super Tux Games and others...
by Hans Linux 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

When i first installed opensuse 10.3 (also happens with 10.2) before installing NVIDIA driver, i can play Super Tux Games with full screen. After I install NVIDIA driver, the display can not go full screen like before, only half size centered on screen. That's also happen to other games, which make me so hard to play games. Is there any trick to make it full screen with NVIDIA driver installed? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
