[opensuse] Adding items to the main menu
by Chris Spencer 26 Jun '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all, I am developing a program and have begun testing it on other distributions, however I have run into a problem with openSUSE (with KDE4 desktop). When I run 'make install', by default it installs everything under /usr/local. It installs a .desktop file under /usr/local/share/applications, but this does not show up in the main system menu. Only by moving it to /usr/share/applications does it show up. Is this intentional, and I should always put it in /usr/share/applications, or is it a bug in openSUSE or KDE? Cheers. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkhjxAMACgkQ6iqRtkAADZimagCeIzDecmM4p4ydK9KcJUNKyl0k dY0AnirVs2dpJykTw3HfZk7DFzkyCNkn =vNc9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Gstreamer under 11.0 and 10.3
by Jonius 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Hello, I'm about to install openSuSE 11.0 and due to some bad experience with multimedia under 64bit I choose to ask for a wise option here. Last time when I tried to install 10.3 complete (kde 3 and gnome) after completing I got lots of dependencies error when installing, upgrading lots of files even amarok (though I'm not using gstreamer backend for playing music on amarok, I'm using xine) Question: 1.Is that dependencies error due to the presence of gstreamer happening to me only?? (Means is it a bug or am wrong somewhere??) 2. If its a bug is it solved in 11.0?? So that I can again install both DE kde and gnome and all the app of both DE?? 3. If its not a bug then anyone who knows hoow to silence the noise of Gstreamer when am installing other tools and apps help me please!! My present environment is 10.3 x86-64 and plan to upgrade to 11.0 x86-64. Thanks for any suggestions. -- Jonathan Seni.

But how does that help in my teaching of students who expect a desktop that just works as one would expect.

Just for the ncurses version. I'd prefer glitter in YaST2 :) That should have read bold or italic, sorry.

[opensuse] shutdown hangs after kernel update
by Daniel Bauer 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Hello, yesterday I updated the kernel using the opensuse-Updater. Since then shutdown hangs after the message "Shutting down D-Bus daemon". I attach the complete /var/log/messages of my last and actual session, inserted a comment where I pressed ctrl-alt-delete to force the reboot. This worked, but of course I got a lot of messages from reiserfs because the disks wern't unmounted properly before. The same happened yesterday. After reboot with ctrl-alt-delete I could shutdown normally (but havn't logged in again then). What can I do to make shutdown work correct again?
