[opensuse] 2.6.22.12-0.1-default Laptop Fan Race on 1st Boot
by David C. Rankin 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Listmates, Booting 2.6.22.12-0.1-default for the first time caused my laptop fans to stick on high and stay that way as if acpi got stuck. A reboot seems to have fixed things. FYI. -- David C.

[opensuse] Trying to sync updates for openSUSE 10.3
by aledr 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Good day! I'm tryng to sync updates for openSUSE 10.3 yet... I thought that It was working but I saw that if I point the update repo to http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/ It shows some updates that aren't in my mirror. Basically I have a script with this content: # Sync updates excluding src and ppc: rsync -av rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/update/10.3 rsync -av rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/update/10.3/repodata/ rsync -av rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/update/10.3/scripts/ rsync -av rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/update/10.3/rpm/i586/ rsync -av rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/update/10.3/rpm/i686/ rsync -av rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/update/10.3/rpm/noarch/ rsync -av rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/update/10.3/rpm/x86_64/ # Sync OSS excluding ppc: rsync -av --exclude=ppc/ rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/10. 3/repo/oss/ /var/SuSE10.3/oss/ Any thoughts? -- [ ]'s Aledr - Alexandre "OpenSource Solutions for SmallBusiness Problems" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Process Hangs / D-wait / Novell Bug 336669
by Randall R Schulz 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Hi, <https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=336669> This is a very uncool situation. I encounter these processes hanging in D waits quite a lot and it is very disruptive. Whatever the problem is, and it seems to be one of those bugs exacerbated by multi-core systems that we've known was going to be haunting us as multi-core CPUs proliferate, this one, apparently in the Reiser filesystem code, is particularly pernicious. Had I know about this, I'd never have gone with Reiser for my file systems when I installed 10.2 (now 10.3). How close is Novell to releasing a fix? Alternately, is there any good way to convert file systems? I've never had to do it before, and the only way I can think of is to dump, mkfs and restore, and I don't know what sort of pitfalls that presents. Peeved and alarmed, Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to edit a menu entry in xfce?
by M9. 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hio, I am using the KDE4 testdesktop, and also xfce 4. KDE4 has a new version of amarok, which is still very buggy. If i call amarok from xfce multimedia entry, it can not choose, so nothing happens. With alt+F2 only the buggy amarok shows. What i want, is just use the normal amarok in xfce, without uninstalling the the buggy kde4 version. How do i edit the entry in the xfce menu? tia. - -- Have a nice day, M9.

[opensuse] Compiz_Fusion No# of desktops
by Matthew Stringer 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Despite having all settings I can see set to 4 desktops it always shows 16 of them on the task bar which is a bit pointless and takes up almost the bar. If I stop CF it drops back to 4, any ideas what I could be missing, otherwise it's working fine on my 10.3 i386 machine.

[opensuse] no / appended to directory name completion
by Carlos F Lange 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

On 10.3 I don't get a "/" at the end of an automatic directory name completion (using Tab) when I am using the command "cd". All other commands, such "cp" or "rm -rf", append the "/" when a directory is uniquely matched, only "cd" doesn't. This forces me to type the slash before I can get a list of possible directories to continue the automatic completion (I know, it's laziness, but...). Anyone knows how to revert to the old behaviour and get the slash? -- 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] compiz fusion productivity benefit anyone?
by Eberhard Roloff 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Hi, After some struggle with my old ATI, I am now on a newer Nvidia. The installation of Nvidia Drivers and Compiz Fusion worked great via One Click install from opensuse.org. Frankly, it took not much more than an hour on SUSE 10.3/32bit/KDE, to be on and fabulously going again. Time to say thank you. Thanks much to anyone that made such an installation so effortless and perfectly working!! It even makes Windows Vista Aero looking pale and oldfashioned. Now I am enjoying a cube, have windows wobbling around and rain sometimes falling on my applications and much, much more. However, after playing around for a few fascinating hours, I am still unsure, whether this can be used "profitably" on a daily basis. Is there anyone using some of the Compiz features daily in and out and did you experience some increase in your productivity? Thanks much for help Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
