Hello, yesterday evening I installed opensuse 11.1 RC1. It was automatically updated to http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.1 after installation. It contains kernel update but without kernel-source package... thanks, m.

Re: [opensuse] openSuSE 11.0 Beta 5

It was absolutely different for me. Downloaded x86_64 Beta5 DVD and played using Amarok all day and It never failed (nVidia audio too, XFX motherboard). Just changed the behavior of Desktop and then could drop the icons there (yes, you need to do that if you want to drop icons like kde 3.5), It was compiz capable (X11:Compiz repo) and KDE4.1 seems a lot better than 4.0. I got some "SIG 11" from plasma but It's not essential so I disabled It. For now I updated to RC1 without problems.

[opensuse] MP3 Audio Decoder for K3b For KDE4
by Rick Friedman 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

I just installed the kde4-k3b package. When I try to run it, it cmes up with a message saying: Mp3 audio decode plugin not found. Until now, I have been running k3b for kde3 (under kde4). As such, I have the package k3b-codecs installed from the packman repository. Apparently that package does not work with the kde4-k3b package. Does anyone know where I can get the codecs to use with the kde4 version of k3b? Thanks, Rick -- Rick's Law: What cannot be imagined will be accomplished by a fool.

[opensuse] Thunderbird and System Tray [SOLVED]
by Kai ponte 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Okay, I went ahead and found the FireTray (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4868) add on for Thunderbird. The other system trays are for Wintendo only. This does work for me in that it shows the number of unread messages waiting for me along with minimizing Thunderbird to the system tray. <grin> http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/2008/20081128_thunderbird_notifications.j…

I used 1-click to install Nvidia drivers with no problems. And I have memories of using 1-click for other software installs with no problems. I used to cruise the 10.3 software search (the link you suggested earlier) and use those 1-click installs with no (dependency) problems.

[opensuse] apache won't start
by Peter Bradley 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

As of, I think, today - but definitely since the weekend, Apache has failed to start at boot time, and won't start subsequently. The message in the system log says: <paste> Starting httpd2 (prefork) httpd2-prefork: Syntax error on line 116 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 28 of /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib64/apache2/mod_authz_svn.so into server: /usr/lib64/apache2/mod_authz_svn.so: undefined symbol: dav_svn_split_uri </paste> Line 28 of the file says, as you would expect: <paste> LoadModule authz_svn_module /usr/lib64/apache2/mod_authz_svn.so </paste> There is nothing in the Apache error log. Can anyone help with this? Thanks, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.0 DVD fresh install: boot to command line
by Neil 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Hi I got myself a new computer (details below), and I encountered a problem. When installing a backup Debian I encountered a few minor problems (nothing big. I got it working), but when installing the main OS (Suse 11.0) I had a major problem. I installed KDE 4, but first boot displayed a typical black and white pixel screen (you know: gray from a meter or 2, the X screen itself when it has nothing to paint windows) but no beautiful green screen, and no progress (I waited for a while and went back to watching a movie for an hour or so but no change after that). I rebooted, and saw the first boot screen. "Yaay solved" I thought, but when it rebooted (after the settings were finished) it booted to command line. If I enter kdm (after root and pw) nothing happens. No error but no KDE either. Okay, not what I expected so I tried using yast to reinstall KDE. A lack of knowledge apeared: I did not know what package to reinstall exactly. My solution (I wanted to try and solve this myself before bugging you guys): Reinstall, but try and use KDE 3.5. To no avail: Only X instead of first boot, leave it overnight, reboot, usable first boot, command line. Below is some extra data I expect people will need. Ask if you need more Does anyone have any idea what the solution might be?

[opensuse] compiz won't autostart after an update
by Sergey Mkrtchyan 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Hey list, I went to yast >> all packages >> update if newer version available. Everything went fine and I went to sleep happily, but that lasted only till the morning. So now compiz doesn't want to autostart. If I go to simple ccsm and put a tick for "enable desktop effects" after each time I restart everything seems to come back to normal, though. I went to compiz troubleshooting (http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz_Troubleshooting#Updated_Compiz_today.2C_now_i…) page, and as it was written there checked if my versions are messed up, and they pretty much seem to be, are they really supposed to be all the same version? Here's what rpm -qa | grep compiz gives: compiz-0.7.8-9.1 compiz-emerald-0.7.8-2.4 compizconfig-settings-manager-0.7.8-2.4 compiz-emerald-themes-0.6.0-16.1 compiz-manager-0.0.1_git080201-99.1 compiz-kde-0.7.8-9.1 compiz-fusion-plugins-main-0.7.8-3.3 python-compizconfig-0.7.8-2.4 libcompizconfig-0.7.8-3.4 compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-0.7.8-4.2 any ideas, please?
