[opensuse] KDE update on 10.3
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

I have been trying, on 10.3 via YaST, to update KDE from the build service. When doing so, it will not install kdegraphics3 because of problems with qpoppler. It is trying to install kdegraphics3-3.5.8-2.4.i586. It claims that poppler-qt-0.5.4-100.i586 provides libpoppler-qt.so.1, but it is scheduled to be uninstalled. I have tried locking it, but that does not help. Anyone else having this interaction? I did a google search and a bugzilla search at novell. No mention. I has been like this for a week, so others should have seen this by now. The install has been kept up-to-date with the build service. I know there can be issues. But I do not think I am doing anything odd where I should be the only one to see this. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

[opensuse] Kmail problem
by vendion＠charter.net 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

I am having kmail connect to my pop3 mail account, I know the server is up because I am able to ping it, but it could be having trouble (sadly it happens a lot with my ISP). The thing that is throwing me off is the error message that I am getting, usually I get an error saying that the server is sending an improper greeting, or something like that, but this time I am getting this error "Unable to complete LIST operation." after that comes up Kmail just sits there saying that it is Preparing Transmission from my ISP and thats it. It doesn't lock up or anything because all the menus and buttons responded, its just not communicating with the server. I don't know if this is of any help but right now I am running Kmail via Konsole, because I am running it remotely from my desktop. Here is what shows up on konsole from the time Kmail opens to where that error message comes up. kbuildsycoca running... vendion@SE-02:~> WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 1) suspended.

RE: [opensuse] finding info on MAC address

"ip link" on the command line I believe will show your mac address. --Jason Thank you, however I don't want to find out my MAC address, but instead the IP address of a MAC address that I can see is connected to a wireless router. Thanks in advance. James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] K3B authority problem
by russbucket 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

SUSE 10.2, K3b 1.0.3 KDE 3.5.5 release 45.6 Is there a document that tells how to set up permissions so a user can copy /boot and fstab to a CD? I looked on the web and it had items to use k3Bsetup. Which does not appear to exist. Also found one that said look under settings. Nothing there. I change the authority on the icon to run as root but it gives errors and says to set up user . Any help would be appreciated. -- Russ Linux register user 441463 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] DHCP Problem
by Kai Ponte 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

My openSUSE 10.2 laptop has been on the corporate network since being upgraded from Vista in May (a week after I got it). Suddenly yesterday, I cannot connect to anything. I checked and found that my network - eth0 - is on but that I'm connected to a 'default' network of 169.254.x.x, which I'm told is a Microsoft network. My network admins (who work for me) are not able to help since none know Linux. We recently switched from an NT 4.0 Domain to a new AD setup. That switch was three weeks ago, so I can't imagine this issue is related. In googling, I found that there apparently is no GUI tool for configuring or renewing DHCP leases. I dropped down to the command line and have tried both 'service network restart' and 'dhclient -r eth0' In both cases, the network releases and then comes back. Ideas? This is too weird. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Unclean shutdowns in 10.3
by Myrosia Dzikovska 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

I recently upgraded to 10.3 from 10.0 on a Sony Vaio PCG V505DP laptop. My 10.0 setup was very stable, but I am experiencing a serious problem in 10.3 with unclean shutdowns. Every so often (once in 5 times, maybe) my KDE refuses to shut down - some windows, like KNotes, stay on screen, but nothing happens. My keyboard works, so I can switch to text console, manually kill all processes and then re-boot with ctrl-alt-del or reboot. However, the system refuses to shut down cleanly. It goes through all the normal stages without any error messages, gets to the point of unmounting the file systems and then goes oops - cannot umount /: device or resource busy And then it halts immediately. When I run it again, there is always a ton of transactions to be replayed (I am using ReiserFS). I looked through /var/log/messages and /var/log/XFree86.0.log, but neither seems to have any error messages. I checked my hardware status with smartctl, and it reports being fine. How could I begin to trace this? Myrosia -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] DOT gconf & gconfd
by Carl Spitzer 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

I am trying to restore the ability to bring up the browser of my choice when clicking a link in Evolution mail. I backed up all the directories I thought could matter: .gconf .gconfd .gnome .gnome2 .gnome2_private then removed them logged out and back in. Evolution could not find the existing DOT evolution directory and my mail. I tried to restore .gconf/apps/evolution but that was not enough. as evolution still could not find the mail. so I restored all of that and logged out and back in. Now it works but the clicking of links goes no where. which file do I hack to make it work. ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
