[opensuse] Something weird with Firefox in Opensuse 10.2
by Phil Savoie 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

Hi All, Am having weirdness with Firefox Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20061023 SUSE/2.0.0.4-1.1 Firefox/2.0.0.4. Seems that I am getting what appears to be raw html script where the headlines should be in a local on-line newspaper. I have included a screenshot to demonstrate what I am experiencing. This is something that just appeared as I don't recall having done anything to precipitate this. Any help in how to fix this would be great. Thank you, Phil

[opensuse] krdc remote control over internet - which IP?
by Daniel Bauer 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

Hello, Somehow I don't understand how to establish a krdc session over the internet. My partner "invites" me per e-mail. I get an invitation that contains the link vnc://invitation:xxxxx@192.168.2.2:0 which is of course his local IP and not usable to reach his computer over the internet... The partner is connected per ADSL using a router with DHCP. So his "internet-IP" and his "machine-IP" are variable. Now, what do I have to type to get access to his machine thru the internet? Thanks for help.

[opensuse] parted with RAID (hardware)
by Jan Kalcic 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

Hi All, I need to shrink the root partition using parted shipped with knoppix, rescue system or whatever. It is a quite normal procedure but I've never done this before on a mirrored harddisk. Would there be any problem? Has anyone experienced this? Regards, Jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Software Installer
by Donald D Henson 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

There are two icons in my toolbar, Install Software and Update Software. These icons are apparently related to Novell Zenworks and something called Rug, neither of which I understand. I can find very little "how to" info on either. What technical info I can find tends to be arguments about whether Zenworks/Rug is a step forward or a step backward. Under the circumstances, I think my confusion is reasonable. Would anyone out there care to give me a quick synopsis of Zenworks/Rug and some simple rules on how to use them? A Zenworks/Rug for Dummies online article would also be helpful. Thanks. -- Donald D.

[opensuse] beagled-helper
by Bob Kline 12 Jul '07

How do I get rid of beagled-helper? It's chewing up the CPU and making the laptop hot enough to fry eggs. I have uninstalled beagle (in fact, the only package with "beagle" in the name is libbeagle, and it looks as if the whole world depends on that package. Help!

[opensuse] can't have my USB detected by VMware
by Hans Linux 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

why i can't get my USB interface detected by guest OS on my VMware? If i plug my flash disk to my system, only my host (SUSE) can detect it, but not my guest OS. I try to enable it from menu VM -> Removable Devices -> USB devices, but it shows nothing. I do have USB device on the setting (USB device present) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] gtk 64-bit problem
by Dave Howorth 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

I'm having a problem running some gtk code. I encountered a problem installing the Perl bindings to gtk but it seems to be related to the underlying Suse gtk package. I built and ran the following C program: /* gcc `pkg-config --libs --cflags gtk+-2.0` dialog.c -o dialog */ #include <gtk/gtk.h> int main (int argc, char **argv) { GtkWidget *dialog; gtk_init (&argc, &argv); dialog = gtk_file_chooser_dialog_new ("Test", NULL, GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN, GTK_STOCK_CANCEL, GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL, GTK_STOCK_OPEN, GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT, NULL); gtk_widget_destroy (dialog); return 0; } It runs to completion when run by a normal user, but hangs when run as root. Furthermore, gdb complains about internal errors. I'm not familiar with gdb but there's a log below. It hung when run, I typed CTRL-C then when I did 'bt' it said there was an internal error in gdb. I tried again (see second log) and single-stepped main but it hung immediately. The third log is the result of single-stepping as a normal user. I'm on an AMD 64 system with Suse 10.2. Has anybody seen anything like this? Can anybody reproduce it?

Running rpm -V kdebase3 did not come up with anything, so I'm guessing that leaves kio slave (I am running KDE 3.5.7 on my 10.2 box). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
