[opensuse] Video queston????
by James Hatridge 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

Hi all, I have some mpg video files that I'm trying to figure out. My DVD player says that MPG is the wrong format, so I'm using Avidemux to change the format from MPG to avi. BUT it still will not work. I set Avidemux to "Mpeg-4 ASP(Xvid4)". This setting works when I change a FLV to avi. MPG File: file 1x00.mpg 1x00.mpg: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 352 x 240, 23.98 fps, video: DivX 4, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 22050 Hz) SAME File as AVI: file Show-00.avi Show-00.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 352 x 240, 23.98 fps, video: XviD, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 22050 Hz) THIS FILE works on my DVD Player: file TEST.avi TEST.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 320 x 240, ~30 fps, video: XviD, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 1 or 2 (mono, 32000 Hz) The two AVI files look about the same but the first dones not work. Any ideas?

[opensuse] KDE4 (.1 and .2) and opengl desktop effects
by Konstantinos Georgokitsos 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

Hi all, When trying to enable desktop effects, I can only choose xrender and not opengl. It does tell me to check my X Configuration. This is true for both 4.1. and 4.2. (which I just installed this morning). I checked in yast and I have 3D drivers installed and enabled. I do have a GeForce4 card which as I have read seems to lack shaders and can not support some compositing effects. Still, shouldn't I be able at least to use other opengl effects?

[opensuse] firewire 800 disks not working on openSUSE 11.1
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

I have a firewire card: Texas Instruments TSB82AA2 IEEE-1394b Link Layer Controller (rev 01) and an external firewire disk: LACIE "Big Disk Extreme" In openSUSE 10.3 I was able to mount and format the disk. In 11.1, I see this in /var/log/messages) when I power the disk on: kernel: ieee1394: Node changed: 0-01:1023 -> 0-00:1023 kernel: ieee1394: The root node is not cycle master capable; selecting a new root node and resetting... kernel: ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-00:1023 kernel: ieee1394: Node changed: 0-00:1023 -> 0-01:1023 I do not think the drive has broken. Unfortunately, this is the only system around here that I can test it with. My 10.3 system is gone... Anyone else having 1394 disk issues with 11.1? I do not see much activity on bugzilla. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

by Randall R Schulz 30 Jan '09

Hi, Is it possible to enable JavaScript when viewing full Web pages in Akregator for KDE 4.1? If not, why not? (Please tell me it's not some misguided notion of "security.")

[opensuse] It's Clean Already!
by Randall R Schulz 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

Hi, I've just been treated to what, according to my Web searching, is a very old problem: Launch feedback and a taskbar entry for "HTTP Cache Cleaner". It's been bouncing along, now, for several minutes. CPU utilization and I/O volume are very low. What might be the solution to this? All the "*cache_cleaner*.desktop" files I can find have the startup-notify option set to "false." What's the proper solution to this? By the way, in many years of using SuSE / openSUSE Linux, I've never seen this. Randall Schulz P.S. Just as I was about to send this message on its way, the bouncing cursor and the taskbar entry disappeared. I estimate it was running for about 7 minutes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Anti-virus in Linux (openSUSE 11.1), is it required ?
by Jay Mistry 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

I use openSUSE 11.1 Linux (dual-boot with Win XP Prof.) for general home use (browse Internet, documents, occasional music/video view, etc). For this type of use, are either/both of these required: I have an always-on cable Internet connection (broadband). 1) A Firewall (default App Armour is enabled) 2) Anti-virus (opSUSE 11.1 has clam antivirus) Should one leave them on & update as necessary or is it safe to browse without them enabled ?
