[opensuse] Gnome screen saver turned off
by Carl Spitzer 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Suse 10.0 under gnome. Suddenly the screen savers do not run even if I click to a specific one for testing. Under Gnome after a minute, setting is 4 minutes, I get a black screen not a screensaver. What config file do I hack to turn them back on? ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bash Scripting
by Chris Arnold 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

So now i have a need to insert ' at the beginning of text and at the end in over 2000 files. The text is always the same and is always found on the first line of the files (there are over 2000 files). The text is ../../wp-blog-header.php and the finished text should look like '../../wp-blog-header.php'. How would i make a bash script to accomplish this or is it possible? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to get Grub working again?
by Hans Lombard 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

I removed a hard drive from my Opensuse 10.3 PC - without realising that Grub was installed on the drive. The PC has only one SATA drive left containing the various Linux partitions but it will obviously not boot up. What do I need to do to get it to boot up again? I have looked at GNU Grub Manual 0.97 - it is rather intimidating for a newbie like me. Any advice would be appreciated.

[opensuse] /tmp is taken the whole partition!
by Teruel de Campo MD 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Problem: /tmp is growing unlimited. Most of the files taken the space are img.out.XX (XX= numbers). There is also audio.pcm of 1.6 GB but it is only one. /temp is now 22 GB. The system is almost unusable. Ref: opensuse 10.3 64b / compiz-fusion /amd fx-55 /nvidia 8800. I run all the updates as they become available. Q1: what are those img.out files? Q2: do I have a virus? Q3: Any direction where should I go? Thxs, -=terry(Denver)=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSuSe 10.3 + compiz-fusion: systray icons opens as small windows
by Pablo Bueti 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

I've a fresh install of openSuSe 10.3 with all the updates to date applied, kde and compiz-fusion over Xorg and nVidia XFX 8400 GS 512. When system starts some systray icons aren't show in the taskbar, they open as small windows with a 'x' to close it. Happens mainly with KMixer and openSuSe updater, but other applets are affected too sometimes. Note that is a "random" behaviour, sometimes all icons are ok, and sometimes not as described. Someone knows how to fix it? Thanks, Pablo. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Otto Rodusek (AP-SGP) 14 Nov '07

Hi, I'm running OpenSuse 10.3 64bit on my AMD 64x2 notebook. I was examining my /var/log/messages log file and noticed a LOT (like one ever few seconds!!!) of messages of the following: Nov 12 20:23:54 orm7700a acpid: received event "processor CPU0 00000080 00000000" Nov 12 20:23:54 orm7700a acpid: notifying client 3002[101:102] Nov 12 20:23:54 orm7700a acpid: notifying client 3046[0:0] Nov 12 20:23:54 orm7700a acpid: notifying client 4015[0:0] Nov 12 20:23:54 orm7700a acpid: completed event "processor CPU0 00000080 00000000" Can anyone shed some light on what this event is and how to stop it from logging?? Thanks for any feedback. Best regards.

[opensuse] opensuse 10.3 & thunderbird
by Otto Rodusek (AP-SGP) 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Hi, I have a small issue when I upgraded from opensuse 10.2 to opensuse 10.3. The mail arrival sound (a .wav file - wcgotmail.wav) is no longer working but it was perfectly fine in 10.2. There was no update to thunderbird. If I open my file manager and locate the wav file, then click it - it opens automatically with realplayer and plays fine. I also tried to play it with kaboodle and its ok. Do I somewhere need to tell thunderbird whick player to use? If so where? Thanks for any help. Best regards.
