[opensuse] sudo zypper in kde4-krdc install resolves java-1_6_0-openjdk
by Ben Kevan 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

Group, I went to update krdc from the factory repo today (I like the bookmark feature, and wanted it on my machine). Obviously it needed some new QT libs since this is 4.1.2 However, why did it require java-1_6_0-openjdk? here's what I go: sudo zypper in kde4-krdc Building repository 'QT' cache [done] Reading installed packages... The following packages are going to be upgraded: oxygen-icon-theme libsoprano4 libstrigi0 soprano libkde4 kdelibs4-core kdelibs4 libkdecore4 ktorrent kdebase4-runtime kde4-krdc kde4-filesystem libqt4-x11 libqt4-sql libqt4-qt3support libqt4 The following NEW packages are going to be installed: libphonon4 ktorrent-lang soprano-backend-sesame phonon-backend-xine phonon libqt4-sql-postgresql java-1_6_0-openjdk The following package is going to change architecture: kde4-filesystem The following packages are going to change vendor: libsoprano4 soprano ktorrent libqt4-x11 libqt4-sql libqt4-qt3support libqt4 I know that krdc didn't need the openjava, but why would anything in the QT repo require openjdk? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] New Compiz 0.7.8-8 in X11:/XGL Works Perfect!
by David C. Rankin 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

Mates, I have updated to the latest compiz in X11:/XGL and it works flawlessly, even boo-hoo emerald works fine. Install was accomplished by selecting the X11:/XGL repository and _disabling_ X11:/Compiz. After install, I deleted ~/.config/compiz (leaving ~/.emerald untouched from 0.7.6) and logging out and logging back in and starting compiz with fusion-icon. The packages installed are: 00:19 alchemy~/.config> rpm -qa | grep compiz compiz-fusion-plugins-main-0.7.8-3.2 compiz-0.7.8-8.1 compiz-emerald-themes-0.6.0-16.1 libcompizconfig-0.7.8-3.3 compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-0.7.8-4.1 compiz-kde-0.7.8-8.1 compiz-emerald-0.7.8-2.3 compizconfig-settings-manager-0.7.8-2.3 python-compizconfig-0.7.8-2.3 All works great. A courtesy screenshot for disbelievers: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshots/compiz/compiz-rotate_0.7.8-… The bugs from Sunday are gone (ksnapshot works, and I can log in and log out). Note: I have also tried the same install with the 0.7.8-3 packages that are new in compiz and the problems from the weekend linger (ksnapshot hidded/delayed execution - can't log out with compiz running) Great Job!

Hello, I just got for free a graphic tablet summagraphic 1812. Sax2 sees to know of sumagraphics, but not this model. I also have to make a serial adapter.

How can I very if the tablet works under Linux? does it work like a mouse? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Web Based Java IRC Client
by William Chandler 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

Hey list, I was wondering if anybody's ever thought about doing a web based java irc client to allow people to join IRC without a client? I know Ubuntu has one in place and recieves a lot of hits. Anybody know if this has ever been talked about? Are there bigger problems than i'm seeing with this? I'd take the time to look/code if you guys think it's worthy.

[opensuse] Inkscape stopped working after update of KDE 4.1.2 on 10.3

Hi all. After an update of KDE 4.1.2 on openSuse 10.3 last week Inkscape stopped working. I've tried it under GNOME and KDE 3.5. 7 as well as 4.1.2 with the same result.

Is this (as I suspect) due a library incompatibility introduced by installing 4.1.2 or is it a genuine bug? If the former, I'll have to live with it (unless I can somehow reinstall the appropriate library without killing 4.1.2). Incidentally, on openSuse 11.0/KDE 4.1.2 Inkscape runs fine so I suspect it is something to do with installing 4.1.2 on 10.3. Any ideas?

[opensuse] cpuflag vmx exists when running default kernel but not when running XEN kernel
by Peter Klitgaard 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

Hi I am running openSUSE 11 and have the following kernels installed on my box: kernel-default-2.6.25.16-0.1 kernel-xen-2.6.25.16-0.1 When booting kernel-default-2.6.25.16-0.1 the command: cat /proc/cpuinfo | egrep "flags|model name" gives this output: model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc pebs bts rep_good pni monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr sse4_1 lahf_lm (repeated 2 times) The same command when running kernel-xen-2.6.25.16-0.1 gives this model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz flags : fpu de tsc msr pae cx8 apic sep mtrr cmov pat clflush acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht syscall nx lm constant_tsc rep_good pni ssse3 cx16 sse4_1 lahf_lm (repeated 2 times) As you can see a great deal of CPU flags are missing when running XEN. I do not know if this is OK for some flags, but I really miss the vmx flag when running XEN :-( Any ideas why the vmx flag are missing when running XEN?
