[opensuse] Gnome Terminal Redraw problem
by Jake Conk 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Hello, I notice every time in 10.3 when I open a gnome terminal and maximize it I get a blank screen. I always have to move the scroll bars manually up or down in order to get it to redraw itself when maximized but no problems un-maximizing, only every time going to maximize.

[opensuse] Kmail locking pc
by Clive Rogers 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Has anyone found a way of stopping Kmail from locking the PC up ? I am running SuSE 10.2 (32 bit) on an Asus M2V-MX with 1 gig DDR2 533 ram with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+. Using a GeForce 7300 LE with 256 meg of ram on board. 2 IDE hard drives and a SATA DVD RW. Since updating my motherboard and CPU from an AMD 2400XP with 1 gig of ram on a SIS chipset motherboard KMail locks up the PC. I can not see any pattern to the lockups. I have left the PC when KMail locks up to see if the PC will come back to me but even after leaving it for 8 hours over night the PC is still locked up. The only way to gain control again is by shutting down and rebooting (reset button) This is a fresh install not an update. -- Kindest regards, Clive. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/c.rogers/ Fighting for darker skies.

Sounds to me like the folder or file storing the prefs is bad. Try renaming the prefs.js file in your profile folder: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Or create a new profile and see what happens. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Linux Brain Dump - Linux Notes, HOWTOs and Tutorials: http://www.linuxbraindump.org Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kernel update for 10.3
by Kenneth Schneider 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Noticed kernel update for 10.3 386 system and I am concerned that I will end up with a NON-booting system. Currently have bug number 331662 open but there has not been any activity on it. I am currently forced to boot to the repair part of the DVD (which fails) and then select boot installed system in order for the system to come up. Since the boot kernel I am currently using actually loads from the DVD how can I proceed with this update? -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Startpar chews up 99% of CPU
by James D. Parra 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Hello, Can't find what launched 'startpar', but it consumed 99% percent of the cpu and launched hald-addon-stor which was also was at the top of the cpu list. I killed the process, but I am wondering what launched it in the first place. Any ideas on where to look? I didn't find anything in the cron jobs.

[opensuse] 10.3 showstopper, zypper can't deal with proxy
by Sloan 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

How can I get zypper/you to use the proxy settings I have configured in yast? Firefox can see the web via the proxy with no problem, but the package management system seems unable to handle the idea of a proxy, and chokes on any attempt to add or access a remote repo: einstein:~ # zypper sa http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/ suse-10.3-oss * Adding repository 'suse-10.3-oss' Problem transferring repository data from specified URL: Curl error for 'http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/repodata/repomd.xml': Error code: HTTP response: 407 Error message: The requested URL returned error: 407 Please, check whether the specified URL is accessible.

[opensuse] nis, ypbind and kdm in 10.3
by primm 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Hi I run a school network with an nfs server with authentification via nis. kdm is used on the clients for the user to login. In 10.3 the list of usernames doesn't appear on the first boot of the client. This is because ypbind seems to run _after_ the login screen appears. One can login but one has to type the username oneself. Not good for little kids used to clicking on their username. After the first logout the list appears. Question, is there a way to make the login screen appear _after_ ypbind runs? Or is there another explanation? Cheers, Steve. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
