[opensuse] Gnome menu for 10.3
by Joseph Loo 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

I need to know where the Gnome menu, more application for openSuse 10.3 is kept. I ran into a problem when I installed turboprint 1.96-2. It seemed during the process it added turbprint in the menu but in the process wipe out all the text associated within the "more Application" menu. -- Joseph Loo jloo(a)acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SCM Microsystem SCR301: driver problem
by Andrej Lazo 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Hi, I've found at home smart card reader SCM SCR301 and decided to try it under SuSe 10.3 i586. First I played with opensc/openct backend but I found that this device is supported by pcsc-lite. There were also drivers for it (http://www.linuxnet.com/sourcedrivers.html - http://www.linuxnet.com/drivers/readers/files/scm310Driver-0.9.0.tar.gz) So I've downloaded them and tried to install. Long story short - they compiled with some warrnings but only one binary was created and also the makefile has some problems. Have someone installed this driver? I would appreciate any advice how to make it working. I think that the best solution would be to compile all drivers from this page and add them to repo. There are some drivers in Main repo but not that one I need. Andrej -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Compiz on ATI: Worked until I installed fusion-icon?
by Magnar Strand Olsen 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

After I installed ATI 8.42, Compiz fusion worked as it should - however, I got the common problem of the systray icons being scattered around, and the kicker panel not working properly. I thought it might be a good idea to install fusion-icon - in order to quickly switch compiz on and off. But the next time I logged on, the once-working Compiz was reduced to a sad state - unmovable windows without borders/window decorations, no working visual effects, etc. Of course, I tried to remove fusion-icon again, but it didn't help. I tried to manually start compiz: compiz-manager & didn't do it, compiz --replace ccp & gave me the broken desktop with the borderless windows. Any ideas?

Hello list users: How kde decides (konqueror, krusader) the type of a file? Sometimes the file's icon in krusader does not correspond to the extension.

[opensuse] Burned DVDs all Coasters!
by Robert Smits 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

I'm running OpenSuse 10.2 on one of my desktops, which also has a dvd writer. Lately, whenever I burn a data DVD with K3B, the program goes through all the motions as if it's correctly burning and verifying the DVD. Yet when I examine the disk that's been burned, Konqueror tells me the disk I just burned is blank. My Sony DVD DRive is working just fine, and if I boot to Windows, I can successfully burn a disk with Sonic Record. I have also tried burning a disk (all DVD-R) with GnomeBaker and I get the same result as with K3b. Does this mean the problem is with growisofs? When I look at the K3B site there seem to be many bugs all related to not being able to burn a dvd. Does anyone have a handle on this?

I experienced the same problem after have performed the installation from the LiveCD. I assume (from another installation on a 64 bit laptop performed with the complete dvd) that the correct external_sources_link tag is: http://download.opensuse.org/YaST/Repos/openSUSE_103_Servers.xml Is this correct?

[opensuse] HOWTO: ivman, fixed mount-points and growisofs
by Frank Steiner 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Hi, I post a solution we found (partially with the help of the SuSE support) for other people here that may have similar problems, and to be found via archives/Google :-) Our goals are: -------------- 1) automounter for users without KDE and Gnome 2) fixed mount-points for CDs/DVDs because we don't want to check /media/ for the mountpoint, but always find our DVDs at /media/dvd or /media/cdrecorder. 3) files on mounted DVDs should belong to the user 4) burn DVDs with growisofs as user. 5) Additionally, have an instance of ivman running for root. Not as simple as it seems ;-) Our solution: ------------- To use fixed mount points, we define /etc/ivman/IvmConfigActions.xml (all following examples only for the DVD-RW to keep it shorter): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ivm:ActionsConfig version="0.2" xmlns:ivm="http://www.eikke.com/ivm">  <ivm:Option name="checkOnInit" value="true" />  <ivm:Match name="ivm.mountable" value="true"> <ivm:Option name="mount" value="true" /> </ivm:Match> <ivm:Match name="hal.block.device" value="/dev/sr1"> <ivm:Option name="exec" value="halmount $hal.block.device$ cdrecorder" /> </ivm:Match> </ivm:ActionsConfig> A user should start ivman with "ivman -c /etc/ivman" because there are version of ivman (e.g. in 10.1) that do not copy the global config files correctly to the users homedir. With this config, ivman will call "halmount /dev/sr1 cdrecorder", thus the files on the DVD mounted will belong to the user. Note that when having a fstab-entry with "users" and calling "mount" here (that was the first solution...) the files on the mounted DVD will be owned by root. Thus, "600" files are not readable for the user who mounted the DVD :-( That's why we need halmount. Note that with this config alone, we would have two mounts for every DVD, /media/cdrecorder *and* /media/<label of the dvd>, because ivman calls it's normal mount procedure, too. Defining <ivm:Option name="mount" value="false" /> which can be found in some proposals, is not a good idea if you want a second ivman instance for root, see below. But we don't need it anyway as we see in a moment. Now, when we call growisofs with the DVD-RW mounted because it already contained a FS, growisofs will complain it cannot unmount the DVD and exit. We could do it ourself with "halmount -u /dev/sr1", but that's not nice... So we add a line in fstab: /dev/sr1 /media/cdrecorder auto noauto,users,user We use noauto to avoid mounting accidentally by "mount -a". growisofs can unmount /dev/sr1 now because of the "users" entry. However, when halmount finds an fstab entry for a device it tries to mount, it mounts only if it finds the "user" option, so we need "users" and "user" here. Additionally, halmount refuses to mount the device anywhere else but on the mountpoint defined in /etc/fstab. Thus, calling "halmount /dev/sr1 blabla" will fail! This makes the second mount go away: ivman first tries to call "halmount /dev/sr1" which would end up in /media/<label of dvd>, but in the debug mode we can see manager.c:786 (ivm_run_command) Running: halmount '/dev/sr1' /dev/sr1: /etc/fstab configuration does not allow this mountpoint so we finally have only one mount at /media/cdrecorder. For most people we are finished here, but we still have goal 5). I sometimes use PCs where no one is logged in for burning DVDs if we have a lot to burn and let ivman start automatically when I log in as root, because I often burn root-only-readable files. Such an root-ivman instance could still be running when a user logs in. Now when a user-ivman and a root-ivman are running in parallel, the root-ivman could win on mounting DVDs, making files on it be owned by root and unreadable by users. To avoid this, ivman has a sleep option that makes ivman instances started by root or with -s sleep for 5 seconds. Due to this delay, a user-ivman will win. But, when setting the "mount" option to "false" as found in some proposals for fixed mount-points, this sleep is deactivated, too, and a left-over ivman instance by root could disturb the user instance. However, as seen above, we don't need to set "mount" to false to avoid double mounts, so with the configs above we can just have user- and root-instances of ivman running in parallel. Maybe this helps some people with similar needs :-) cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.

[opensuse] Resolved: How to get the ATI Catalyst Control Center working (Suse 10.3, driver 8.42).
by Magnar Strand Olsen 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

I remember noticing that others had the same problem - that even after successfully installing the 8.42 drivers, the ATI control center won't launch. I found this quick howto after googling for some while, and thought I'd save you some time by sharing it: (snatched from http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6028) ------------------------- little HowTo for openSUSE 10.3 32-bit (based on Snake's HOWTO) 1. Download xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-75.src.rpm <ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/linux/opensuse/distribution/10.3/repo/src-oss/suse/src/xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-75.src.rpm> 2. Open a console window as user not as root Code: rpm -Uvh xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-75.src.rpm 3. Now you can find file "xorg-x11-libX11.spec" at /usr/src/packages/SPECS edit these 2 lines: Code: %define xcb 0 # rm -rf "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT" 4. build the rpm packages Code: rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/xorg-x11-libX11.spec 5. After that, there are a new directory "/var/tmp/xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-build/". From there you can copy the needed file. For example: Code: cp /usr/var/tmp/xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-build/usr/lib/libX11.so* ~/ 6. Try amdcccle Code: LD_PRELOAD=~/libX11.so.6 amdcccle 7. If all runs fine , you can remove the temp directory. Code: rm -r /var/tmp/xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-build ---------------------------- After I followed the above instructions, I opened the ATI CCC menu item in KDE's menu editor and set the launch command to "LD_PRELOAD=~/libX11.so.6 amdcccle".
