[opensuse] Several openSUSE 11 issues
by skx skxinski 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Since the upgrade to openSUSE 11 I have encountered several problems which I cannot resolve. Please, help a newbie :) I have openSUSE 11 installed on Inspiron 600m with Compiz enabled and run at log-in. Very bright screen at start. When I boot the computer and openSUSE starts it sets brightness to the maximum. I have adjusted the settings in KPowersave, so after KPowersave starts brightness comes back to normal level, but it's still rather annoying, especially at night. How can I change this initial brightness? Smb4k scan returns nothing. Smb4k function to scan the network for local computers seems to be blocked by the firewall (since it only works when firewall is turned off). I have done everything that was required in openSUSE 10.3 to let the scan work with firewall running. What has changed and what wholes need to be punched? Skype video is buggy. When I receive video, the call-window gets corrupted -- I can't see the preview of my stream or the controls for this call. Also, sometimes the camera just zooms in by itself. I use Labtec Notebook Webcam Pro for video. Above-mentioned apps (Smb4k and Skype; the brightness wasn't controlled by the operating system at all) worked fine in openSUSE 10.3, also with compiz. I'm not sure though if the next two problems are related to the upgrade. Windows' decorations and cube caps corrupted after resuming from suspend to disk. After resuming from suspend to disk, windows' decorations and cube caps (from "Cube Reflection and Deformation" plug-in for Compiz) are just colorful shred. Is there another solution except for running emerald --replace when resuming? This fixes the first problem. Unexpected and unprompted logouts. From time to time, usually after long time of running the computer, the system freezes (although music, if any player is running, still plays for a minute or so), then the screen goes black and suse logs me out -- login screen is the first thing I can see after the freeze. What can it be? X window system going down? Which log files may be helpful? Can this be caused by excessive heat? -- skx, http://skxpl.eu.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] New location of the OpenLDAP packages in the buildservice
by Ralf Haferkamp 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Hi, in order to fit better into the current buildservice structure the OpenLDAP project has been moved into the newly created "network:ldap" namespace. Additionally I took the chance to reorganize the packaging a bit. There are different subprojects for the different release branches of OpenLDAP.org. For Packages from the 2.4 release branch that makes: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/ldap:/OpenLDAP:/RE24/ and packages from the 2.3 release branch can be found here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/ldap:/OpenLDAP:/RE23/ If you were using the repositories from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenLDAP/ please update you configuration to one of the above as I plan to remove the old project in a few weeks. (Rebuilds have already been disabled for the old project). Additionally I have plans to add other LDAP related packages (nss_ldap, pam_ldap) to the "network:ldap" namespace as time permits. Contributions and other feedback are of course very welcome. Have a lot of fun...

I'm running openSUSE 10.3. After some updates I rebooted, logged in and noticed that my emerald theme was no longer loading.

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.0 and vmware modules
by Raúl Moratalla Guillén 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Hi, I installed openSUSE 11.0 with all the development tools. Also, I installed Vmware Workstation 6.0.4 that worked fine on openSUSE 10.3 but when I run vmware-config.pl and compile vmware modules for my kernel I get the following message: Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.3.1", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3". This configuration is not recommended and VMware Workstation may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3" anyway? [no] I looked at the repositories and there is no version 4.3.1 of gcc, so I can't compile the modules and run vmware (I get an error later). I am using kernel-default, but same happens with kernel-pae. Anynone has the same problem? How can I solve it?

Don't know about the codecs, but k3b for kde4 is still in alpha, so expect things to be broken. If you're happy being an alpha-tester, then have a look in bugs.kde.org to see if it's a known bug or something unique, but don't be too surprised if Seb isn't interested in bug reports until he goes beta.

[opensuse] Streaming audio & video
by J Beris 02 Aug '08

02 Aug '08

Hello listmates, I am looking for a solution to stream audio (mp3) and video (mostly mpg) from my Apache webserver. I have seen several solutions out there on the web, but before I implement something, I would like to ask the openSUSE crowd what they like to use and why. I am looking for several things: 1) Easy to place new things on the server to stream So not "run foo.sh to squelch the gizmo, than change permissions on the whatchamacallit to flurb the noodles", then manually edit bar.conf to list all the new files on the server, but don't forget the semicolon on line 98792345, otherwise people will get an error 900 'noodles misaligned'. Non-Linux people will have to be able to place things on the server. 2) Flexible It shouldn't care about bitrates, hertz, pixels, fps, the hole in the ozone layer and whatnot. 3) Secure Speaks for itself 4) Careful with bandwidth Speaks for itself 5) Scalable Be able to stream 10, 100 or 1000 files (not simultaneously) and still be easy to maintain. I'm very curious to hear your thoughts on this matter.

[opensuse] wacom tablet [solved?]
by primm 02 Aug '08

02 Aug '08

Hi everyone I finally got my graphire 4 5x4 tablet working by trial and error. Yast set the device to /dev/input/event0 I tried: wacdump /dev/input/event* until I got sensible output from: wacdump /dev/input/event6 I then changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf as folows: Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "Mouse[3]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6" Option "InputFashion" "Tablet" Option "Mode" "Absolute" Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 (USB)" Option "SendCoreEvents" "on" Option "Type" "cursor" Option "USB" "on" Option "Vendor" "WACOM" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "Mouse[5]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6" Option "InputFashion" "Pen" Option "Mode" "Absolute" Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 Stylus (USB)" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "SendCoreEvents" "on" Option "Type" "stylus" Option "USB" "on" Option "Vendor" "WACOM" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "Mouse[7]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6" Option "InputFashion" "Eraser" Option "Mode" "Absolute" Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 Eraser (USB)" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "SendCoreEvents" "on" Option "Type" "eraser" Option "USB" "on" Option "Vendor" "WACOM" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "Mouse[9]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6" Option "InputFashion" "Pad" Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 Pad (USB)" Option "Type" "pad" Option "USB" "on" Option "Vendor" "WACOM" EndSection Restarted X and all was well. My question is: will it always be /dev/input/event6 ? HTH others with wacom although I think that Yast ought to be able to configure it properly to begin with.
