[opensuse] Well, there goes any hope for ReiserFS 4....
by John Andersen 01 May '08

01 May '08

OAKLAND, California -- Jurors found Linux programmer Hans Reiser guilty of first degree murder on Monday, concluding he killed his estranged wife in 2006. The verdict followed a nearly six-month trial and nearly three days of deliberation The 44-year-old developer of the ReiserFS filesystem, sat quietly as a clerk for Alameda County Superior Court Judge Larry Goodman read the verdict. Reiser faces a mandatory sentence of 25 years to life in prison. Wearing the same dark coat he's worn for months, the defendant was immediately removed from the courtroom by one of four bailiffs watching over the courtroom. He asked out loud if he could speak with his attorney. http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/04/reiser-guilty-o.html -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Can not update/remove Firefox
by Valentin Sawadski 01 May '08

01 May '08

Hello everybody, I wonder if someone would be so kind to help me with my problem. Somewhile ago I tried to update Firefox which did not work because of some MIME-Error that Brasero Caused[1]. However I could fix that and was also able to update Firefox. But then at somepoint I had two versions of firefox installed (at least YaST said so) which seemed strange to me but I as it kept working I didn't care much about it. However, I tried now to update Firefox to 2.0.0.14 and everything got completely out of hand. The first update resulted in some kind of broken installation (e.g. I could not bookmark new sites, etc.) so I tried to completely remove both installations of firefox and make a clean install. One of the two installations could be removed, the other is displaying an error message[2] when trying to remove it. It seems that firefox is working right now, however I would still like to fix this issue. Has anybody any clue on how to fix this? Thanks in advance, Valentin Sawadski Footnotes: [1] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=522786 [2] Usage: usr/bin/update-mime-database [-hvV] MIME-DIR No directories in update-desktop-database search path could be processed and updated. error: %postun(MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.12-5.1.i586) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 2008-04-30 18:32:24 MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.14-0.1.i586.rpm install failed rpm output: Usage: usr/bin/update-mime-database [-hvV] MIME-DIR No directories in update-desktop-database search path could be processed and updated. error: %postun(MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.12-5.1.i586) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

[opensuse] cups printing pain on 10.3
by Michael Fischer 01 May '08

01 May '08

After years of effortless printer setups on 10.1 and earlier, I've stumbled. The CUPS web-based admin works wonderfully, but when I try to print from any app, I seem to get stuck in a way I've never seen before. Google shows others appearently having similar issues, but no solutions could I find. Printer is a Brother HL-2060 When trying to print from vim, after a few seconds of 'sending to printer', the message changes to 'E365: Failed to print PostScript file'. Firefox just thinks there is a "Default/PostScript" printer, not finding the real one, and of course, laboriously prints nothing... OpenOffice seems similarly clueless about where to find the printer. Never had these problems in 10.1 or earlier, and I haven't any idea what to do about them. Trying to check the printer in kprinter: after un-confusing kprinter that the CUPS server is on localhost, and not the IP of the printer, kprinter does a perfectly good job of printing a test page. Some potentially useful information: $ lpr test_printer.txt lpr: Error - scheduler not responding! $ lpstat -p -d lpstat: server-error-operation-not-supported no system default destination lpoptions -p Brother_HL-2070N_series -l lpoptions: Unable to get PPD file for Brother_HL-2070N_series: client-error-not-found (the above is odd, considering both cups and kprinter can print a test page just fine...) $ cat /etc/printcap # This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the # /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file # will be lost.

[opensuse] audio cd read permissions in KDE
by Sampsa Riikonen 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

Hello, I have a problem with the read/write permissions of an audio CD. Tried to open one with konqueror and got this error message: ------------ Unknown error. If you have a cd in the drive try running cdparanoia -vsQ as yourself (not root). Do you see a track list? If not, make sure you have permission to access the CD device. If you are using SCSI emulation (possible if you have an IDE CD writer) then make sure you check that you have read and write permissions on the generic SCSI device, which is probably /dev/sg0, /dev/sg1, etc.. If it still does not work, try typing audiocd:/?device=/dev/sg0 (or similar) to tell kio_audiocd which device your CD-ROM is. --------- I checked with cdparanoia that the device is /dev/sg1. cdparanoia gives me the table of contents OK. I also set "chmod a+r+w /dev/sg1" as root. However, konqueror and amarok cant access the CD.. I can play it only when I am root. How can I set up KDE to allow normal users to access the audio CDs ?

[opensuse] KDE3 not starting
by Sylvester Lykkehus 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

Hello list, From today, kde3 will not start properly on my 10.3 machine (x86). KDM works, and after entering password, the splash screen appears, but gets stuck with no progress. Eventually the splash screen goes away, but nothing happens. Looking at the task list, kdeinit and startkde continues to run, but nothing appears to be happening. I'm using the official 10.3 repo's, along with KDE:/KDE3 repo for 10.3 Xorg is behaving, and gnome/fluxbox etc. works fine. Even starting individual kde/qt apps (e.g. klipper) in one of those environment works. Removing ~/.kde did not affect the problem in any way. Where do I look for logs files, or other relevant information ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] downloading differences
by Istvan Gabor 30 Apr '08

Hello: I have a mirror of an ftp site I downloaded some time ago. Now I would like to check the site again and download only the files that were changed or added to the site since that. I would like to save these files into a different folder than wherein the old files are located. Is this possible somehow? Can it be done by wget?
