[opensuse] camelot upgrade
by eddieleprince 03 Jun '07

03 Jun '07

Is anyone using gmerlin-camelot? It was working fine until I did the last upgrade and now I cannot adjust the controls. As I have a tv card, the webcam is on /dev/video1. The program default is /dev/video0 but I cannot change it. Just wondered if anyone is using it and it is working fine for them. I'm using openSUSE 10.2 Thanks Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Running process list
by Cristea Bogdan 03 Jun '07

Is there a way to visualise all running processes? In my case, I launch an application with nohup command in a terminal window, but if the terminal is closed and then reopened again I cannot see the process previously launched with nohup. -- Cristea Bogdan Software Engineer ITC Networks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] LinuxTag in Berlin
by Clayton 03 Jun '07

03 Jun '07

I went to LinuxTag in Berlin yesterday (Saturday), and was quite impressed with the event. It was much more (larger) than I expected. If anyone has been giving it a miss, you may want to consider going next year :-) - Had a chance to talk to several SUSE guys. Was nice to be able to put a face to some of the names I see on the mailing lists. - Saw demos of KDE4 in action (very very slick... makes Gnome look even more dumpy and outdated) - Got to play with a prototype of the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC). Made me want one even more than before. It is quite a nice little computer. A few project highlights I picked out to share here: ---------- http://www.openstreetmap.org are collecting GPS mapping data from anyone who has a portable GPS unit, and mapping the planet. http://www.yacy.net/yacy is a peer-to-peer websearch engine. http://www.linux-gamers.net/ is a good resource for keeping up with what's happening in the Linux gaming world. http://www.linux4afrika.de/ is a really interesting project. They provide Linux based terminal server/thin client setups for schools in Africa. They are just getting ready to ship 100 terminas plus servers to... I think he said Tanzania. http://www.geexbox.org/en/index.html is competition for MythTV http://www.opengraphics.org are designing a completely open graphics card. They have a sort of working prototype, and more on the go. Quite interesting if you're into hardware design.

Wow, you are a rude little boy! Is that really the best you can come up with! Swearing only serves to debase your argument. Oh, wait, you don't have one! And you don't have the stones to air your opinion on the list. I really do think that the self-appointed List Police need to give it a rest. If you want to do something your way, then that's OK, but I still want to do things MY way! I have participated in a number of Linux-related lists, and the 'my-way-or-the-highway' attitude dished-out by a number of participants on this list is appalling! New users come here for help, but won't bother if they get assaulted for every post. Once upon a time there was a guy who believed that he knew how people wanted to use computers. He believed that everybody should use a computer the way HE wanted to use HIS computer. His name was Bill, and the result was Windows. Unfortunately for Bill, and fortunately for us, we have a choice. I use Linux. I use the computer just the way I want to.

[opensuse] DVD Video with K3B error
by John 03 Jun '07

03 Jun '07

Am trying to burn video DVDs from a standard VIDEO_TS directory on my hard drive (it is coming from a FAT32 partition), and every time I put in a blank to burn (+R or -R) I get the error: :-( unable to WRITE@LBA=0h: Input/output error and it spits the DVD out. If I then close the DVD drawer and press the burn button again, it works..... Any ideas?

[opensuse] Help - suse 10.2 webcam woes - no /dev/video device
by joe 03 Jun '07

03 Jun '07

I recently bought a logitech quickcam on sale, to plug it into my suse 10.2 workstation and try to get it going. When I plug the camera in, it seems to be recognized by the kernel, as seen in the log messages below. usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 usb 2-2: new device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=092e usb 2-2: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 2-2: Product: Camera usb 2-2: Manufacturer: usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Linux video capture interface: v2.00 drivers/media/video/usbvideo/quickcam_messenger.c: Logitech Quickcam Messenger USB v0.01 usbcore: registered new driver QCM Looks good, right? Well, the problem is that there is no /dev/video*, so there is no way to access the camera. How do we fix this egregious situation? In the old days, we'd simply issue a makedev command and be good to go. So, how to coax udev into creating the needed device?

Not sure which setting does it for KWeather, but it reads the system settings. Unfortunately, I can't set the font for Kweather at all. I "can" set the font for the buttons, but I - unfortunately - end up with white menus. Not so good. :P http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/2007/20070603_suse_desk.jpg This seems to be more or less okay. I just had to get rid of KWeather until I can compile it and tell it to run with white menus. -- k bis zum bitteren ende -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE 4 (Paralllel to KDE 3 on OpenSUSE 10.2) installation issues
by Mohammad Bhuyan 03 Jun '07

03 Jun '07

Hi All, Trying to install factory build of the KDE 4 on my exisitng openSUSE 10.2 (KDE 3.5.7 upgraded) . Following the instructions from (http://en.opensuse.org/KDE4). 1. Using YaST, added the factory repository to installation source. 2. Not knowing what are the packages I need to install to get a KDE 4 desktop with basic apps, I tried installing (i) kde4-meta-base (ii) kde4-meta-default & (iii) kdebase4-session.But Faced with yast conflict list (attached with the email). 3. In the openSUSE wiki it is said that "The kde4-meta-base package depends on the packages for a basic KDE4 desktop while ..." which doesn't made any sense to me. If it is dependent then what is that dependency list? finally all I am looking for is to install a basic kde4 desktop installation. Please advise? Thanks, Soyuz
