Does anybody know whats happened to liby2util, its disappeared off the factory repository? I did a search on the opensuse site and only found old versions and no explanations. Maybe it got lost in the crash. Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Rastislav Krupanský 16 Jan '08

Hello Whenever i download any files with file type .rar (for example file.rar), Firefox´ll save it to ntfs partition as file.rar.bin. It could by only in Firefox settings, or it sounds like a bug?

[opensuse] LANG wrong on Gnome
by Frank Hrebabetzky 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

Hi, After installation of Suse 10.3 everything worked well, but from one day on I have been getting frequently the following error message: Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale Then I got aware that echo $LANG executed on a virtual terminal on my Gnome desktop results in C So I tried: - yast-sysconfig-System-Environment-Language: RC_LANG=en_US.UTF-8 (leaving all other RC_... empty) - ~/.profile: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - /etc/profile.local: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 but nothing helped. When logging in at a text console (ctrl-alt-F1), then LANG has the expected value (en_US.UTF-8). How can I track down the problem? -- Frank Hrebabetzky +55 / 48 / 3235 1106 Florianopolis, Brazil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Slow spamd/spamc
by Carlos E. R. 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Since I updated to 10.3, I find spamd/spamc sluggish. My mail fetching setup is: fetchmail --> postfix --> procmail --> spamc/spamd A mail is scanned, then it stops for some seconds (almost no cpu usage) then it continues. It takes around 8 seconds per single email to check. I think it is querying some of the network databases that is slow. The other detail is that it only processes two mails at a time, I mean, postfix spawns two children only: root /usr/lib/postfix/master postfix \_ qmgr -l -t unix -u postfix \_ local -t unix cer | \_ /usr/bin/procmail cer | \_ /usr/bin/procmail cer | \_ /usr/bin/spamc -s 350000 postfix \_ local -t unix cer | \_ /usr/bin/procmail cer | \_ /usr/bin/procmail cer | \_ /usr/bin/spamc -s 350000 postfix \_ pickup -l -t unix -u postfix \_ showq -t unix -u I believe this is controlled in /etc/postfix/master.cf by this line: local unix - n n - 4 local or perhaps this one: procmail unix - n n - 5 pipe flags=R user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/procmail -t -m /etc/procmailrc ${sender} ${recipient} but according to that, I should get 4 (or 5) children... so I must be missing something. My idea is that if could get more emails to be processed simultaneously (while one waits another is scanned) then throughput would be faster. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHjQuntTMYHG2NR9URAl3JAKCHy0dg+J212A0Zjsy6bCum7eEyhACcC0jc 9A2qAi5Pz67sjSKVmvcm6VM= =2bqH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Haha - I hadn't considered that. But I was told by colleagues who are reliable that it was done all on the local machine. I have had the later versions of the radeon driver in the kernel run the wobbly windows stuff and Xen at the same time. However, the radeon driver performance wasn't really usable. You could tell that the windows wobbled and the cube rotated, but it wouldn't impress anyone :-) (This was using Xgl and not aiglx, as all attempts with aiglx failed in Xen for me) I would imagine an Intel adapter that works in a non-Xen kernel for 3d should work in a Xen kernel, but I'm not offering any guarantees either :-) Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] laptop headphones
by Marc Chamberlin 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

Hi - Well it seems that, on my fancy dancy HP Pavilion laptop, some braindead engineer decided it was a good idea to replace/"upgrade" the good old fashioned style (tried and true) of audio headphone jacks with something that requires software to use it. What ever happened to the KISS principal, in particular that headphone jacks used to ALWAYS simply disconnect internal speakers and mechanically reroute sound to the headphones when you plugged one into its jack? As you (poor reader) can probably surmise I just discovered this "wonderful" feature about my laptop because when I plug in my headphones under Windows they work, but under SuSE 10.2 it does not..... So guess I got to hold my nose, because this new headphone jack design STINKS!!!!, IMHO and ask this group for help to gain the advance wisdom and knowledge about how to use headphones from some kind guru... This SHOULD have been a duck soup simple task and apparently has now become yet another fine example of how computers are being redesigned to frustrate us poor users--- How do I get my headphones to work under SuSE 10.2 so I can listen to music played via Amorak at work (without getting shot by my co-workers because they may NOT happen to like my particular tastes)? I have look at the settings in Yast, KMix, KDE's Personal Settings, and fooled around with em, all to no avail.... Lost in the headphones wilderness...
