[opensuse] Disabling SKIM's hotkey
by benang＠cs.its.ac.id 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

Hi, I'm using 10.1 with some multilingual support. I got annoyed by SKIM because it always read ctrl / alt / etc as its hotkeys and always showed a popup and changed the keyboard. I couldn't even get the autocomplete feature in KDevelop because of this annoying feature. How can I turn off SKIM's hotkeys? I still needed SKIM but I don't want the hotkeys. Thanks in advance.

[opensuse] Help! RO File System Lock down OpenSUSE 10.2
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

Hi all, I must be quick, before the system locks down again. It seems that since I installed OpenSUSE 10.2 and used ext3 FS, I get system Lockdowns with the File System going Read Only suddenly. At bootup the ext3 rollback of journals seem to be doing something, even if the shut down was done normally. There seems to be a correlation to high disk access, which occurs when either Evolution, KMail (Kontact) or Gimp loads and saves files on a default ext3 OpenSUES 10.2 root system, with a reiserfs partition mounted on /home/<user>/Data/Data1 and/or a xfs on /home/<user>/Data/Data2, where the data is. Can using different FS's in one system cause such problems? How can I find out what causes it? :-(( Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Locked out of my software database!
by John E. Perry 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

Hi, My opensuse updater suddenly started showing the yellow triangle with the exclamation point a few days ago. When I try to clear it, it exits with the message "Another process is accessing the package database. Package management cannot be used now." ps -e | grep ast shows only something called "master" running, so it doesn't appear to be yast. I can't get either the updater or yast to run without rebooting the machine. What else could be locking the database?

[opensuse] Intel Core Duo "buggy as hell"?
by Stevens 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

From PC Mag http://news.yahoo.com/s/zd/20070628/tc_zd/210662;_ylt=AmYyw1F0Qpb5eUjr.fYoN… Excerpt from article that might explain some of the weirdness of Core Duo based systems: "With the recent release of a microcode reliability update on Microsoft's site that addresses a handful of Intel Core 2 processors, concern over the pervasiveness of bugs in some of the company's latest processors is growing, especially now that OpenBSD founder Theo de Raadt released his own rundown of outstanding, fixed, and what he deems as "non-fixable bugs." Details are still lacking about what, precisely, the June 22 patch fixes—not to mention how severe the actual bugs were—but in de Raadt's own words, some of the Intel's latest processors "are buggy as hell."
