[opensuse] OT - but a technical accomplishment nonetheless
by David C. Rankin 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

The Dads on the list will relate, xbox360 overtemping ~30 minutes into game play. OK, has to be dust bunnies -- right?. The kids leave the thing running 24 hours a day, no doubt it has sucked in its share of dust. So the approach was to simple. Take it apart, shop vac the cpu and gpu coolers and put it back to together -- simple problem solved. Well, not quite that simple. After looking at the exterior for the box for about 10 minutes, I threw in the towel and googled 'take apart xbox360'. The first two links were You-Tubes of the dis-assembly. 10 minutes later game play resumed. The case is only cheap plastic, but MS certainly put effort into making sure it wasn't obvious how it came apart. If the shop vac didn't solve the problem, the next step will be to re-seat the heat-sinks with Artic 5. So far so good... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I don't know how to get to the list manager, but I would like to complain to him/her about messages sent from =?UTF...and with no subject. These are likely to have some kind of virus or worm, and I certainly would not open one. They should be filtered out at the source. doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] alsa-driver-kmp-default seems to broke on 11.2 x86_64
by Marco Calistri 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

Hello, Attempting to install latest alsa-driver-kmp-default (version 1.0.21.20091212_2.6.31.5_0.1-1.1 Arch: x86_64) picked from obs://build.opensuse.org/multimedia:audio results into freezing the desktop (Gnome DE), whenever starting multimedia apps: banshee, totem, mplayer... To solve the issue I have to remove alsa-driver-kmp-default. When removed such pkg, then DE, audio and video apps. are ok, but I noticed these warning from dmesg: [ 1737.440355] ALSA /usr/src/packages/BUILD/kernel-default-2.6.31.5/linux-2..6.31/sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:646: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x1970503 [ 1737.440383] ALSA /usr/src/packages/BUILD/kernel-default-2.6.31.5/linux-2..6.31/sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:646: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x1970503 Would like how to proceed.

[opensuse] dual boot 11.2 with windows 7
by lynn 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

I want to install 11.2 alongside windows 7 on a laptop with windows 7 already installed. Does Yast still have the option to shrink windows 7 to make space for the install? I've done it before with an XP machine but don't know if there are any issues with the windows 7 dual boot.

[opensuse] protocol not supported bluetooth
by Martin Mielke 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Hi all, Version 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0) "release 155" running fine. When I execute kbluetooth I get the following error message after clicking on the systray icon: "protocol not supported bluetooth" ...when I click on "OK", Konqueror launches but nothing happens. However, I can discover devices with "hcitool scan" or even using "kbluemon"... and that's it. I've been reading some threads and it seemed to be a bug on previous KDE versions... which is odd because it was working like a charm under SuSE 10.3 Am I missing something here? -- # /etc/init.d/bluetooth status Checking service bluetooth (enabled) : hcid (activated) running hid2hci (activated) opd unused rfcomm (activated) pand unused dund unused # rpm -qa | grep blue bluez-utils-3.32-8.7 bluez-firmware-1.2-99.1 bluez-audio-3.32-8.7 kdebluetooth-1.0_beta8-109.1 bluez-libs-3.32-3.2 -- TIA, Martin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Package Naming Causing Dependency Problems
by David C. Rankin 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Listmates, There are a couple of packages in factory that are causing dependency hell for 11.0. For some reason someone named many of the kde packages with very, very high minor numbers that take priority over newer packages. An example is: /var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/python-kde4-4.3.80-11.1.i586.rpm /var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/kdelibs4-4.3.80-197.1.i586.rpm /var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/kdelibs4-core-4.3.80-197.1.i586.rpm /var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/libkde4-devel-4.3.80-197.1.i586.rpm /var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/libkdecore4-4.3.80-197.1.i586.rpm /var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/libkde4-4.3.80-197.1.i586.rpm /var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/kdelibs4-doc-4.3.80-197.1.i586.rpm /var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/libkdecore4-devel-4.3.80-197.1.i586.rpm /var/cache/zypp/packages/kde4/i586/kdebase4-runtime-4.3.80-166.2.i586.rpm There are a number of .80, .93, etc.. packages that cause python and a bulk of kde4 to be uninstalled based on dependency conflicts. Especially if you have kde43 as a repository. Right now the newest kde4 is 4.3.4-xxx. There should NOT be any packages in the repository numbered 4.3.80? Where did the other 76 minor releases go?? Granted this will not hit you unless you have factory enabled. But judging from prior posts, that ain't a small number.. What say the powers that be? Dependencies are bad enough to deal with without having whacky numbers thrown in the mix. Is there are chance those (and the other high numbered packages) can be renumbered correctly to 4.3.3-80 (or whatever the proper minor is) instead sitting in the repo as 4.3.80? -- David C.

[opensuse] opera 10.1 in openSUSE 11.2 questions
by Istvan Gabor 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Hello: I've been using opera web browser for a long time. I installed the latest version (10.10, opensuse repo package) in openSUSE 11.2. I don't really like what I got. In earlier opera versions "Save as" gave me a window where I could delete and copy/paste target folder. Now it is not possible, I can only navigate between folders, which is very inconvenient when I want to change 'save as' folders (what I do it frequently). How could I revert it to the old behavior? And opera does not add html extension to the end of the file name now, it adds htm instead. And even if I choose save as html or mht filetype the other files with same extension are not shown in the save as window. Are these problems occur only to me or others have the same? Is this because of opera change or openSUSE tweak? I am using the program in KDE 3.5.10.

[opensuse] 11.2 and firefox
by Dave 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

I recently did a fresh install of opensuse 11.2 keeping my old /home directory from the opensuse 11.1 install. After the install I noticed the taskbar Firefox icon had been moved and was now to the left of the desktops icon. In 11.1 I was able to download photos by right clicking and then save image as and was also able to use the download-helper to download videos, etc. In 11.2 whenever I went to download anything using the above mentioned methods, nothing would happen. I would get no download progress dialog and the requested image/video/file would not download. I noticed in the icon settings for the Firefox link that ownership was set to root/root. I changed this to dave/users. After doing this downloads work as they should. My question is this: Was there a security reason why the Firefox link was set to run as root and will changing it to my user account will open up a security hole?
