[opensuse] Organising bookmarks in Firefox
by Bob Williams 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

Hi, Has anyone been able to organise their bookmarks in Firefox? I ask it sort them by name, A > Z, but it stubbornly keeps them in the order they were added. They do get sorted *within* the Organiser, but not on the main Bookmarks menu.

[opensuse] Linuxrc crashed...
by Istvan Gabor 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

Hello: I have openSUSE 11.1 for testing. I updated it and now it can not boot. I tried to use openSUSE 11.1 installation DVD but it does not work either. No matter if I choose 'repair installed system' or 'rescue system', after booting the kernel it gives the following error message: >>> openSUSE installation program v3.3.22 (c) 1996-2008 SUSE Linux Products GmbH <<< Starting udev... ok Linuxrc crashed. :-(( Press ENTER to continue Pressing enter gives: udevd[686]: bind failed: Address already in use udevd[686]: error binding control socket, seem udevd is already running What can be the problem? I can boot 10.3 on the same system without error. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE 4.3.4 login manager forgets settings after update?
by Mark Goldstein 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

Hello List, I'm usually setting login screen to display some nice image and clock and it worked OK in KDE3. Now I have 11.2 (x86) + KDE4.3.4. I disable theme greater, select "Show clock" in Dialog tab and enable background image and select some photo. I noticed that after KDE updates (KDE:/43 repository), login screen returns to default image and logo and when I go to login manager configuration again, I see "Show logo" and default background image selected. Not sure yet whether it happens after every update, probably not. But at least I've seen it 2-3 times. I searched novell bugzilla and KDE one, but have not seen such reports. Is there anybody on the list using this non-default login screen? Does it work for you?

[opensuse] CTRL-ALT-F1 to F6 don't work after reboot
by Martin Jungowski 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

Weird thing - when I reboot my computer (which rarely ever happens) I cannot switch to tty1-6 because CTRL-ALT-F1 to F6 don't do anything. I use Gnome2 and GDM, and it already doesn't work in the GDM login screen. The only solution: ssh from another computer, init 3, wait, init 5, and then it works. Until the next reboot. What could that be?

[opensuse] Suspend/hibernate on T41 w/ 11.2
by Jeffrey Taylor 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

Any advice for suspend and hibernate in an IBM Thinkpad T41 in OpenSuSE 11.2? I'm using pm-suspend and pm-hibernate, but they aren't reliable. Sometimes it hangs on resume with the shift LED blink and the screen dark.

[opensuse] NFS server exports fail ("does not support NFS export" ??) immediately after reboot; OK after running 'exportfs -r' twice. Help?
by Ben DJ 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

I've installed nfs-kernel-server nfs-kernel-server-1.1.3-21.1.x86_64 on 11.2. It's enabled chkconfig --list | grep nfs nfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off nfsserver 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off and configured as, cat /etc/sysconfig/nfs NFS_START_SERVICES="yes" USE_KERNEL_NFSD_NUMBER="3" NFS4_SUPPORT="no" MOUNTD_PORT="" REEXPORT_NFS="no" NFS_SECURITY_GSS="no" SM_NOTIFY_OPTIONS="" cat /etc/exports /usr/local/exports 192.168.1.7(ro,no_root_squash,sync,subtree_check) Everything works fine when I've set it up manually, but after each reboot, the dir is NOT exported. To get it to work, I have to exec twice, > exportfs -r exportfs: Warning: /usr/local/exports does not support NFS export. > exportfs -r > then, at this point, the dir can be subscribed/mounted at the client, 192.168.1.7. The boot log shows grep -i nfs /var/log/boot.msg <notice -- Dec 16 03:33:02.613052000> service nfs start <notice -- Dec 16 03:33:03.362462000> service nfs done <notice -- Dec 16 03:33:06.862887000> service nfsserver start <notice -- Dec 16 03:33:08.504914000> Starting kernel based NFS server: mountd statd nfsd sm-notifydone <notice -- Dec 16 03:33:09.378610000> service nfsserver done Which isn't telling me anything that I understand :-/ Any ideas what I need to do to get the exports right immediately after boot?

[opensuse] e16 ~/.e16/bindings.cfg - a few good keybindings
by David C. Rankin 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

Guys, For those working with enlightenment e16, a few keybindings can really help. I've posted a few for iconfying windows, etc. before, but I've come up with a few more that are useful to me so I thought I would pass them along. First, basics, your keybindings are generally controlled by the system-wide file /usr/share/e16/config/bindings.cfg. To set up custom keybindings, simply copy the system-wide file to your ~/.e16 directory for modification. You can edit it by hand if you want to google while you work to figure out what it available, or simply install e16keyedit which will make like much easier. Just run it and it will pick up your ~/.e16/bindings.cfg by default. It's straight forward, the only thing I do is just remember to hit 'save' in between each key addition or key assignment. The keybinding I have set just give me a run dialog, the kwrite & kate editors, and firefox and thunderbird. You can configure anything you like. The basic form of the keybinding entry for running a program in e16 is: KeyDown <SCA> <key> exec program # where: <SCA> are the modifier keys Shift, Control or Alt; <key> is just the key you want to assign the program to; and program is just the executable name for the program you want to run ** You don't have to background the process (no &), it's done for you Here are the examples of the binding I set: KeyDown A semicolon exec bbrun -w -a KeyDown A backslash exec restart KeyDown A slash wop * shade KeyDown - Print exec ksnapshot KeyDown A Print exec ksnapshot --current KeyDown A Escape exec bbrun -w -a KeyDown A k exec kwrite KeyDown SA k exec kate KeyDown SA f exec firefox KeyDown SA t exec thunderbird ( I prefer 'bbrun' over 'fbrun' for the run dialog. I thought krunner would be overkill.) Note: if you do use bbrun, you MUST use the -w, --withdraw option. This causes bbrun to go straight to the command entry dialog. Otherwise you will have what looks like the systray wrapper window left on the screen after you execute a command and a good chance on locking up your desktop. (ctrl+f1; 'killall bbrun' will fix it if you happen to miss this first). Also, when selecting keys, make sure you choose keys that will not conflict with existing menu shortcuts, etc... p.s. - I know I have two bbrun commands defined above. I use the one with the ';', but included the Alt+Escape because that is the way it is set in E17. Have fun ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] KMail, automatic view of jpg attachments
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

At least since 11.1 email with jpg attachments were automatically shown under the mail. This was highly appreciated especially by my wife when she receives attached photo's from the family at times that I am not at home. She could have a look at the pictures without opening them in a picture viewer. In 11.2 I am still looking into the Settings/Configure KMail to get the pictures shown. Must have missed the settings because for the moment I only get a small pic with a balloon and the jpg file-name which I can of course click, in order to look at the pictures. Could somebody help me out?
