[opensuse] curl error-connection time out
by Teruel de Campo MD 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Today I finally installing opensuse 11.1 kde 4.2 in all machines. Q. Using yast software manager to update the system very often I get a curl error and a connection time out. I retry and everything is OK. Everything is working OK but I had to be behind the screen to interact all the time with this connection time outs. I do not remember anything like that previously. It may be the server are very busy. Any comments. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Annoying Desktop behaviour of Programmes
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi all, what is beginning to be quite annoying is working with different Desktops. I have different working groups organised on a desktop each. I often have OpenOffice Writer, Calc and Firefox open on various desktops. When I open up a link on Desktop 1 in Thunderbird, a window opens on the latest FireFox I used prevously; the one on the other desktop I used last. I have to hunt down in which desktop it opened by going to each desktop and activate it. This also happens when I open an OpenOffice document or calc file with konqueror. Closing all apps on the desktops before going to another desktop defeats the purpose of having different desktops - or have I missed the rational behind different desktops. Is it a bug or a feature? :-( All -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

16 Apr '09

I performed a fresh install of opensuse 10.3 and proceeded to go to http://software.opensuse.org/search for the codecs I selected and executed Codec-Audio-Video.ymp. During the installation process I received a dialogbox with the following major message and assoc options. No valid solution found with just resolvables of best architecture and speex cannot be installed due to missing dependencies. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-with-codec-installer-in-opensuse-tp14946930p1… Sent from the openSUSE community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SUSE SWAMP
by Ciro Iriarte 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Anybody tried it?, is it actually being used on the Opensuse project?. Looks interesting.... Maybe it can replace workflow apps on Domino/Notes... Webpage: http://swamp.sourceforge.net/ SWAMP - The Workflow Platform SWAMP is a workflow processing platform. Workflows are processes with many people involved in many working steps. In a real world scenario these workflows are highly dynamic, but still many systems try to hardcode the business logic. That leads to raising efforts to adapt the system. Here is where SWAMP steps in: The workflow is designed in a XML based meta language in one file which is read by SWAMP. Workflows can be built from different workflow 'patterns' like simple actions, decisions, selections, loops, but also custom code and external events if required. SWAMP builds a HTML GUI from the workflow definition file that guides different users through the whole process, sends notifications if required, assembles overview pages over all running processes and much more. A SOAP interface can be used to integrate external systems into the workflow. These are SWAMPs main Features: * Support of many different workflow patterns * Flexibility in workflow design: A workflow can be specified in a single XML file * Workflow evolution: Workflows can be developed while in operation (versioning) * Ease of use: clear and straightforward XML based workflow definition language, no coding skills needed * Workflows can attach data and files * Automatic web-GUI generation for handling individual tasks and administrating workflows * Running on Linux + Windows with OS-independant tools: Java, Tomcat, MySQL * MySQL + LDAP authentication possible * User and Role management, workflows/tasks can be restricted * Mail notification system included * Unlimited amount of different workflow-types on one server * Scheduler to control time-critical workflow paths * SOAP interface allows interaction with external systems * Openness: Custom code allows unlimited functionality, event- and data gateways * Customizeable overview lists with filters -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is an update to KDE 3.5.10 OK?
by David C. Rankin 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

Listmates, Before I regret it, has anybody had any bad experience with an update to KDE 3.5.10. I seem to recall a week or so ago, there was a complaint about 3.5.10, but there was very little follow up. That leads me to believe all is safe. But getting older, I have learned to look before I leap. So anybody have any information on the update? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[opensuse] 10.2 still crashing; KDE freezes; command-line shutdown fails
by Charles Obler 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

I first posted this problem on 23 Dec 2008. Since then, it has recurred every other day or so, sometimes more than once a day. KDE freezes up. Windows fail to respond to close requests. Window termination messages appear. System slows to a crawl. KDE does not shutdown. Today, I managed to enter a command-line shutdown. The command was accepted and I got the "shutdown in 0 seconds" message. But no further shutdown processing occurred. As a diagnostic, I've created a bash script that saves ps output in a file every three seconds. CPU usage and swap usage figures do not seem excessive. Are there better diagnostics I can run? If this is a loop in Xorg, is there a way to identify the block of code it is in? - - - Here is my original message, dated 23 Dec 2008: I have a severe intermittant problem and need help. I hope I'm posting this report on the correct list. I installed 10.2 about a month ago on a new computer. Two or three times a week, I get locked out. It happened twice yesterday. KDE first slows to a crawl then quickly freezes with active screens incompletely rendered. Usually I lose only the keyboard, but last night I also lost the mouse. Either way, the system dies. I'm sometimes able to press Ctrl-Alt-F1 just before the freeze. Even "top", running in that console under root, stopped updating its display. "xorg", with 0.7 CPU percent, was at the top of the display when the lock-out occurred. Sometimes I am able to close several KDE applications before the complete freeze. Was not able to log out, however. Here are my system specs: X Window System Version 7.1.99.902 (7.2.0 RC 2) Release Date: 13 November 2006 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.99.902 Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX Current Operating System: Linux linux-8ez7 2.6.18.2-34-default #1 SMP Mon Nov 27 11:46:27 UTC 2006 i686 Build Date: 02 June 2008 SaX2 log : SaX2 version 8.1 - SVN Release: 1.49 2003/03/17 kde version: 3.5.5 "release 45.10" uname gives: Linux h136 2.6.18.2-34-default #1 SMP Mon Nov 27 11:46:27 UTC 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Monitor: IBM ThinkVision Model: L170 Microcode: L170 M-L170-110 Size: 1024x768 Aspect: 4x3 Refresh rate: 47.8kHZ 59Hz Startup log: boot.videobios start Patching video bios Intel 800/900 Series VBIOS Hack : version 0.5.2 Chipset: 845G BIOS: TYPE 3 Mode Table Offset: $C0000 + $4d2 Mode Table Entries: 25 Patch mode 3c to resolution 1024x768 complete done 'boot.videobios start' exits with status 0 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.1 evolution and ICS calender in HTML formatted messages
by Roger Oberholtzer 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Should evolution be able to show calender events that are in HTML formatted messages? I see that our company has changed the default to format messages as such. So meeting invitations I get from co-workers no longer work as they did. I realize that this is perhaps a local issue - but I doubt I will be able to sway policy. The answer will be "Use Outlook"... Perhaps I am missing a plugin? I see that the calender part of the message looks similar as before - it is part of a mime message. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] OpenSUSE 11.1, Dell Latitude E4300 & Hibernate/Resume :-(
by Fabian Scheler 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hello everybody, I have some troubles regarding Hibernate/Resume on my Dell Latitude E4300. While hibernating works fine I resuming again does not :-( I guess that problem is somehow related to X as hibernate/resume on the text console works fine but as soon as I switch back to X the system completely freezes (no ping, no ssh, no mouse, nothing ...). The system also freezes when hibernating from X and resuming into X again. I know there are some issues regarding the intel drivers (the E4300 has a Intel GS45 chipset and thus Intel GMA X4500 graphics) but I read some "experience reports" on the web that told about working hibernate/resume. I friend of mine mentioned the i915 kernel module as possible source for that problem. That module, however, is not even loaded on my system. Hibernate/resume results in a froozen X with the following kernels: 2.6.27.{10,11,12,13} and 2.6.28.{0,1,2}. Has anybody observed similar problems? Any hints are appreciated! Ciao, Fabian Further information that might be helpful: I installed the latest packages from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Drivers:/Video/openSUSE_11.1 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Utilities/openSUSE_11.1 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.1 Attached you find my xorg.conf. I run a dual head configuration with a non-rectangular desktop (1280x800 + 1280x1024) and disabled DRI.

[opensuse] how does bugzilla work?
by primm 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Bug 445320 concerns the intel 845 (and I think many other) Intel graphics. It only allows framebuffer graphics for these chipsets. It was found in 11.1 rc1. I've sent in some extra info and voted for the bug. I'm not sure how bugzilla works but an upgrade to 11.1 would render my 20 node lan useless due to screen flicker. My main concern is when are rc bugs fixed? Is it likely to be fixed before release this week? If not what is the usual timescale? Would it be sensible up upgrade just one box to 11.1, get Yast to setup the install server and wait until the bug gets fixed? cheers, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
