[opensuse] 2nd problem with 10.3
by Fred A. Miller 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

'Another problem......the NDISwrapper installer breaks about half way through an install.....bummer!! It fails in either "expert" mode when you choose the ndiswrapper version (file downloaded) or via the auto on the Net. get the file process. The installer opens the ndiswrapper file, then pukes on the version screen.....doesn't matter what version you choose.

[opensuse] VMWare WS 5.5.1 & OpenSUSE 10.3 GM
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Hi all, I wanted to install a VMWare Workstation 5.5.1 on OpenSUSE 10.3. It worked well under OpenSUSE 10.2. The installation goes well, but when VMWare is started the following error comes up: vmware: xcb_xlib.c:52: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed. Any ideas? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Antialiasing settings don't affect Firefox
by Kníže Ignor 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Firefox don't reflect any changes I make in antialiasing settings. Everyone can make a little experiment. Close Firefox, go to Computer -> Control Center -> Appearance -> Fonts and set rendering type to "Monochrome" (GNOME). System immediately responds and change can be seen for example on the gnome panel. Now start Firefox and you will see, that it still use old settings (fonts are antialiased). In Ubuntu this behaves as expected, that means antiliasing is disabled in Firefox. This is just an example, I don't want to disable antialiasing in Firefox, I want to change the font rendering. But this experiment shows us, that Firefox ignores the system settings. I compared mozconfig in Ubuntu and OpenSUSE and there are few differences - in OpenSUSE Firefox is build static. Can be this the reason for this behaviour? I tried to rpmbuild static Firefox (removed lines 'ac_add_options --enable-static', 'ac_add_options --disable-shared' and added lines 'ac_add_options --enable-shared', 'ac_add_options --disable-static' in the spec file), but the compilation is failing: c++ -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -Wall -Wconversion -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Woverloaded-virtual -Wsynth -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -pedantic -O2 -g -fmessage-length=0 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Os -fno-strict-aliasing -fstack-protector -fshort-wchar -pthread -pipe -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -O2 -g -fmessage-length=0 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Os -fno-strict-aliasing -fstack-protector -fPIC -shared -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,-h,libgklayout.so -o libgklayout.so nsLayoutModule.o nsContentHTTPStartup.o nsContentDLF.o nsLayoutStatics.o -Wl,--whole-archive ../../dist/lib/libgkbase_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkgeneric_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkforms_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkstyle_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkprinting_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgktable_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkxulbase_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconbase_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconcvs_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconevents_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconhtmlcon_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconhtmldoc_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconxmlcon_s.a .. /../dist/lib/libgkconxmldoc_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconxbl_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconxulcon_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconxuldoc_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkview_s.a ../../dist/lib/libjsdombase_s.a ../../dist/lib/libjsdomevents_s.a ../../dist/lib/libjsurl_s.a ../../dist/lib/libjsdomstorage_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkxultree_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkxulgrid_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconxultmpl_s.a ../../dist/lib/libinspector_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkmathmlcon_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkmathmlbase_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkcontentxtf_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkxtfbase_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgksvgbase_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkconsvgdoc_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgkcontentsvg_s.a ../../dist/lib/libgksvgrenderercairo_s.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive -L../../dist/bin -L../../dist/lib -lgkgfx ../../dist/lib/libunicharutil_s.a -L../../dist/bin -lxpcom -lxpcom_core -L../../dist/bin -L/usr/lib64 -lplds4 -lplc4 -lnspr4 -lpthread -ldl -L../../dist/bin -lmozjs -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2 .0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lcairo -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 -lcairo -Wl,--version-script -Wl,../../build/unix/gnu-ld-scripts/components-version-script -Wl,-Bsymbolic -ldl -lm ../../dist/lib/libgkconcvs_s.a(nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.o): In function `nsCanvasRenderingContext2D::Destroy()': /home/ignor/rpm/BUILD/mozilla/content/canvas/src/nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp:568: undefined reference to `XFreePixmap' ../../dist/lib/libgkconcvs_s.a(nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.o): In function `nsCanvasRenderingContext2D::SetDimensions(int, int)': /home/ignor/rpm/BUILD/mozilla/content/canvas/src/nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp:814: undefined reference to `XRenderFindStandardFormat' /home/ignor/rpm/BUILD/mozilla/content/canvas/src/nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp:817: undefined reference to `XListPixmapFormats' /home/ignor/rpm/BUILD/mozilla/content/canvas/src/nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp:824: undefined reference to `XFree' /home/ignor/rpm/BUILD/mozilla/content/canvas/src/nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp:829: undefined reference to `XCreatePixmap' When I add "-lX11 -lXrender", then the command passes, but there are also another problems, so the compilation fails later. I'm not as experienced to fix it. So my question is what to do to force Firefox to respect the system settings of antialiasing? I'm trying to solve this, because there are pages, where fonts look really ugly to me - for example http://www.abclinuxu.cz/images/screenshots/2/9/98392-nepublikovat--48272.png compare this with screenshot taken in Ubuntu (http://www.abclinuxu.cz/images/screenshots/2/9/98392-nepublikovat--48270.png). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox & Adobe Reader 8 integration OpenSUSE 10.3
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Hi, I have installed OpenSUSE 10.3, then installed Adobe Reader 8 over Firefox's Add-Ons "Get Extensions" link. It was downloaded and installed. The plug-in works. Two problems: 1. When I open a PDF inside a web-page, Adobe opens it externally from Firefox as a seperate window. I'd like it to stay inside and open inside the frame where the link was. This worked well in the previous versions. 2. I can not seem to set Adobe Reader 8 to keep the setup for the page for A4 in stead of Letter and the resolution of the printout on 600x600 in stead of 300x300. With every printout I have to select A4 & 600 dpi. Where is it set up in Adobe Reader to take A4 and 600 dpi. as default? TIA :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Strange media player problem in 10.3
by Adam Jimerson 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

The Gstreamer engine for Amarok does not work for any of the users on my system so I downloaded all the xine parts off of packman so xine can have full media support, what is weird is my user account is the only user on my system that xine wants to work for. For all the other people that use this computer one of two things happen: 1. the Xine based media player does not load, 2. the media player freezes when told to do something. When trying to open a song, both mp3 and ogg, in Xine-ui and kaffine neather one of the media players open, and when I try to switch amarok to use the xine engine amarok freezes. Anyone know what might be causing this, or any work around for it that I can try? Right now anything will help, its kind of hard to show my mom that Linux is better than M$ Vista... and its kind of hard when she can't even get her music to play.

[opensuse] How do I keep openSUSE secure?
by Aniruddha 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Coming from Gentoo I wonder how do I keep openSUSE secure (e.g. for rootkits)? In Gentoo there is one repository with 11.000+ packages which are all checked for vulnerabilities and verified with shasum. In contrast openSUSE has many different repositories (Packman, Guru etc). I assume these are trusted resources. How can I tell if these rpm's are tampered with? How do I safely use the gnupg key system for repositories? Is accepting these keys when adding repositories with yast the preferred way? And if so how can I tell these are the correct keys? What about rootkits? How do I protect my system for rootkits when downloading rpm's from sites such as rpmbone? And my last question; where do I find security information for openSUSE? Is there a news site or mailinglist with announcement about security threats and vulnerabilities? I ask these questions because I am planning to sell openSUSE 10.3 on retail pc's through my company. I want the make sure I get all the pro's and cons of openSUSE security wise before doing so. Thanks in advance!
