[opensuse] openSUSE 11.2 YaST - Add Software Repository

by ykyuen

Dear all, i have followed the instruction at http://en.opensuse.org/Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources and created a repomd/rpm md/YUM Sources using the createrepo command. the repo url is http://192.168.137.128/suse_repo/ but when i try to add this repo in the YaST - Software Repositories, there is always a connection time out. (But i can access the repo thru browser so i think that should not be a network problem). and i found that it try to get the ~/media.1/products from my repo. but according to http://en.opensuse.org/Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources , my repo is NOT a "real" YaST repository. and seems the YaST does not know that is a repomd/rpm md/YUM Sources. How could i solve the problem. Thanks.

[opensuse] What I had to do to get wireless communication

by Stan Goodman

I have a new router (D-Link DIR-615) and a new wireless card (Intel 5300agn) in my notebook machine, and was unable to establish communication between them. After several days of puzzlement, I began to entertain the notion that one or both were defective. In an effort to establish which, I connected an external HD in place of that of the notebook machine, installed WinXP on it, and installed the wireless card's driver on it; the card worked properly, so it was no longer suspect. I thought I would them have to devise a troubleshooting scheme for the router, but when I tried to use the wireless card to go online with my own router, it worked perfectly. I had made no changes whatever in any configuration. If someone can explain what made the difference, I will stop believing in poltergeists. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] selecting the atlantis screen saver on 11.2 box locks it up

by Michael Folsom

Folks: Just installed 11.2 x86-64 on an AMD box with a gigabyte motherboard and built in ATI video card - specifics: System is fully patched and up to date, Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2HP AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard with a ATI Radeon HD 3200 built in video card Anyway, after I went into Control Center -> Screen Saver and then selected Atlantis I lost my keyboard and only had some mouse control - buttons no longer worked so I couldn't select another screen saver. Also, cntrl-alt-backspace didn't kill the X server and cntrl-alt-delte didn't kill the box. I tried to ssh into the box but after taking my password that shell locked. I ended up having to power cycle the system. My question - is there a file I can edit to delete that stupid setting since I can't use the normal tool, the gui, to change it?

[opensuse] Emptying the Trash in Evolution

by Mike McMullin

I've noticed my trash container in Evolution 2.24.1.1 on oS11.1 isn't emptying even though Edit->Preferences->Mail Preferences-> Delete Mail -> Empty trash folders on exit is both checked and set to Everytime. I now have 28134 Messages in it, obviously going back quite a ways. I tried to manually delete each message, I've tried File-> Empty Trash, as well as creating a fake folder to "move them to" and then delete the folder, but it will only copy the messages to the folder, still leaving a copy in Trash. Has anyone seen this behaviour before and do you have a solution? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Note though that there is a bug in 11.2 (bnc#552270) where no mail at all will be delivered until you do cd /etc/postfix; postmap relay Though I think that one only hits updates, not fresh installs Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Newer ATI based laptops, does the fglrx driver work? (or which laptop gpus work now?)

by David C. Rankin

Guys, I'm starting to look for another laptop. My current laptop is just fine, but it will not run 11.2 due to the lack of an ati (fglrx) driver. The current radeon or radeonhd driver are unworkable due to the heat/fan noise produced by the lack of sufficient gpu downclocking in the drivers to keep the temps down. Not to mention the 500% loss of graphics performance and continual Desktop Effects compositing shutdowns that occur. So for the time being, I've wiped 11.2 from my laptop and have gone back to 11.0. (sweet by the way) With the fglrx driver, my laptop is silent and blazing fast. With the radeon or radeonhd drivers, my laptop is loud as hell (fans on all the time) and the graphics suck. What I need to know is whether the newer fglrx driver for 2400+ series ATI laptop gpus works, from both a performance and cooling (fan noise) standpoint and whether you are satisfied with the chipsets. Also, from folks running nvidia based laptops, if you have a gpu chipset that works good with the nvidia driver, let me know. There are no sites that really compare opensuse laptop installs, gpu kernel modules, and the performance/cooling qualities. My current laptops with 9600 pro and x1200 chipsets work fabulous with the fglrx driver in 11.0, but are worthless for running 11.1 or 11.2 due to driver issues. I like good graphics performance and I want to gather information on what the current good laptop chipsets are. I have never really had that much luck with intel cards. They work fine, they're just slow even with EXA and UXA options. The ati cards worked fine until ATI stuck it to its linux customers. So what says the braintrust? Which laptop gpus work? -- David C.

[opensuse] hundreds of kio_http or kio_file processes in kde43?

Listmates, 11.0 kde43 question. What is creating all the kio_http processes? I suspect it may be the daisy launcher plasmoid, but I'm not sure. An example of the processes created are: 4429 ?
