[opensuse] Who is using Gnome?
by Robert Paulsen 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

For me, KDE4 looks to be not worth the learning curve. Since KDE4 forces me to learn *something* new and less usable than KDE3 it seems worth considering Gnome. I'd be interested in hearing from those who use it and what their experiences are.

[opensuse] Very Annoying Un-commanded Scrolling of Window Contents in KDE3 from Last 2 Updates
by David C. Rankin 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Listmates, I have been experiencing a very annoying new bug in the kde3 desktop and I have finally filed a bug on it. My description of the problem was: <quote> Current install: 3.5.10 "release 33.3" Two releases ago, 33.1 I think, a bug was introduced into the desktop that causes the content of open windows to scroll up 3-4 lines when you move the mouse over the windows or change window focus. This NEVER happened prior to the past two releases. I thought it was just my install until I started seeing other instances of this horribly annoying behavior on the opensuse list. This doesn't happen every time, but it does happen quite frequently. It also isn't limited to strictly kde apps, but is also experienced in firefox, etc. Beyond that, I don't know how to describe it. </quote> The bug is: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473175 If you are seeing the same thing, or also seeing it in kde4, I encourage you to add your comments there so hopefully this annoying bug will get fixed.

[opensuse] Sluggish Text Drawing Via ATI Video Card On 11.1 (Unlike 10.0)
by Randall R Schulz 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Hi, One lingering issue with my new 11.1 installation is the sluggishness with which text is drawn in Konsole windows. The same hardware running 10.0 and the SuSE-supplied video driver exhibited virtually instantaneous drawing of text pages in Konsole and very rapid scrolling. I am now running the ATI / AMD proprietary driver, but a big reason I installed it was this very symptom under the openSUSE-supplied driver, which I incorrectly believed would be rectified by the proprietary driver. Can anyone shed any light on this? Ideally, suggest a fix? Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Can't list home directory

When I do a "ls -a /home/jan" as a user the console hangs. As a root it works, but I get this error on top: "ls: cannot access /home/jan/.gvfs: Permission denied" "ls -ls /home/jan" as root gets the whole directory listing, which includes this entry: "? d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs" "rm -rf" won't remove it, I get "Permission denied" as a root!

[opensuse] Any way to use GPS provided by a wireless data card?
by JW 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

If anyone knows of a better place to ask this question - please speak up. I use umtsmon on SuSE with a Sierra Wireless 881U "datacard" (provided by AT&T) for an Internet connection. It works good for that. According to the card's packaging that came from AT&T, and according to the Sierra Wireless website, the 881U device supports GPS capabilities. No, I'm am not talking about GPRS - it supports GPRS for data, too - but it also claims to provide GPS functions, or at least some version of it - Sierra calls it "Tru-locate". Here's Sierra's blurb about Tru-locate: "High performance GPS antenna for a quick and accurate fix on your location. User Scenarios * Mobile professionals often find themselves in new areas or cities with no way to find their way around * Bulky printed or out-of-date maps are a hassle * GPS hardware/software can be expensive TRU-Locate™ Solution * Determine where you are, and how to get where you need to be. o Easily integrate with Google Maps, Microsoft Live, Mapquest etc… o Supports 3rd party applications for Route Optimization, Dispatch and Resource Monitoring o Standalone, Static-GPS Assisted, A-GPS capabilities supported * Customers will experience enhanced location services with Sierra Wireless products." I'm trying to get some information on using those capabilites from Linux. Ideally I'd like to be able to use it with Google Maps, but anything else would be a start. If I could at least query the device manually, and get coordinates from it. But I'm having a bad time finding any information about using the GPS functions.. I've read a few things on the web that suggest the AT&T branded cards need to have a flash firmware update to "unlock" the GPS functionality. I'm not sure if that's true, since the AT&T packaging mentioned GPS also. But either way I'm willing to update the firmware if I need to. However, I haven't found any information about using GPS on Linux with the correct firmware updates, either. I thought perhaps somebody here would know something about accessing the GPS interface on the card. Or any other wireless data card: while I do use the 881U, I'd be willing to consider switching to a card that provides better GPS support (better meaning, more Linux-friendly). Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

My system won't mount the NFS shares during boot, and when I run "mount -a" I get this error: "can't lock lock file /etc/mtab~: timed out" In "/etc" I find "mtab" along with a lot of "mtab~XXXX" files, all of them are 0 bytes in size.

[opensuse] opensuse 11.1 dup is always showing the same packages
by Low Kian Seong 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Dear all, I am running opensuse 11.1 from a clean install and whenever I do a 'zypper -n dup' it always lists the same packages although when I use rpm -q to check the version of the package, it seems that the package has already been updated. Is this a problem with a corrupted zypper db or is this a known bug?

Hello all, I have installed opensuse 11.1 running KDE4.1 on Dell Latitude D630 and have got the media players like mplayer, realplayer, drivers BUT I can't get the sound card to produce any sound. I have searched off the internet and there some leads about the kernel version that needs to be edited for both Wi-Fi and Sound Drivers to work BUT not sure. Any leads on how I can get it working?

[opensuse] Swap file question for dual-boot openSUSE install
by Jay Mistry 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Currently, I have openSUSE 11.1 on a separate HDD (HD # 2). I would like to install openSUSE 11.0 on HD # 3. How can I go about doing this such that the present bootloader (grub, installed on MBR of HD # 1) will also boot openSUSE 11.0 on HD # 3 ? Also, is it possible to have a single swap partition for the 2 installs of openSUSE (without confusing grub between the 2 installs of openSUSE)? The present swap partition is on HD # 2, for the openSUSE 11.1 operating system. PS: HD # 1 has Windows XP, with grub on MBR. GRUB is used to boot into Windows XP as well.

[opensuse] WARNING! re latest update to OpenOffice from Novell
by Basil Chupin 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Just to be sure, do not allow YaST/zypper (or even smart) to update your (32-bit) 11.1 installation of OpenOffice to the latest version - leave it at 3.0.0.9-1.11. I allowed zypper to update it this morning and now I have one big f***-up, and lost the ability to run OpenOffice. I've spent the past 9 hours trying to figure out how to get my working OO back and the only conclusion I have now come to is for me to use 'rpm -e OpenOffice*' and reinstall from the DVD (with the BuildService STABLE for OO *disabled* in the repos). Now your mileage re this may vary and you may even have had no problems with YaST updating your OO on your system - which is fine. But if you are yet to update OO then watch out for the list of the dependency errors, and then simply do not attempt to update OO.

[opensuse] Dolphin no feedback
by Manne Merak 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Hi, upgraded to KDE4.2 in 10.3. So far running ok. I have some issue with Dolphin (seeing that I cant install Krusader because of KDE4) When opening a remote folder (SMB or any other slow connection) and it takes some time to download the dir listing I cant see any feedback from Dolphin. It just sits there and behaves as if it crashed. It does come back after some time. Is it just me, or should I log an enhancement?

[opensuse] Enlightenment how-to? (menu font & keybindings) [OpenSuSE 11.0]
by Joe(theWordy)Philbrook 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

I'm using kde 3.5.9 under OpenSuSE 11.0 That is I boot to a non-gui login screen on a virtual console. Then usually make startx my first user command which gets me kde 3.5.9... I've always used kde. Never could stand gnome (too much emphasis on knowing where to right-click...) I've been hearing enough ranting about kde4 that I decided now would be a good time to see if there was a good alternative WM that I could stand... I found a description of enlightenment that said it was possible to set-up the keybindings in such a way as to run enlightenment with the keyboard... (since there are no words in the languages of men, elves, orcs nor most likely even klingons to adequately describe my distaste for "point n click" as the PRIMARY control method) I immediately did an: $ su -c mc ^O # zypper se enlightenment # zypper if enlightenment # zypper in enlightenment Then after a bit I figured out that I now had e16. I blindly flailed about trying to get useful info with man and info on e16 and or starte16... Then with a little experimentation I figured out that as long as I included the absolute pathname I could start e16 from a console with: $ startx /usr/bin/starte16 And/or (no apparent difference???) $ startx /usr/bin/e16 Great... Two problems. 1) I don't know how to set-up keybindings I can stand. I'm used to setting global keyboard shortcuts via kcontrol in kde 3.x where I always change a few defaults, & eliminate several default shortcuts that I don't want to fat finger... Would some kind hearted soul point me at a good how-to on configuring the e16 keybindings? ( I do hope there's one for an equivalent to the kde 3.x window operations menu so I can eliminate all shortcuts that kill, close or quit a window without confirmation... ) 2) The font used in the assorted menus that pop up if I click on the desktop area are so small I need to use the <ctrl>+<alt>+<+> shortcut to zoom in at least twice before I can read them. ( my 17 inch monitor is a a full arms length away from my face. And if I try to look at the monitor with reading glasses on the glare makes my eyes water... <sniffle> ) I poked around those menus looking for anything with font settings. I found a place to set qt4 fonts which font setting application responded immediately when I did a file|save after changing the point size from 9 to 18... But the menu fonts didn't change. I found a menu choice to change my gtk font settings. But it already showed the 20 pt font I'd previously set from kde. I couldn't find a menu choice to change my kde "TT"font settings so I logged out of e16 fired up kde and enlarged the few font settings there that were less than 14pt then logged out of kde and restarted e16... The menus are still using a microscopic fontsize... <sigh!> Please tell me there is a way to configure the font size e16 uses for the menus... Would someone be kind enough to explain it to me? -- | ~^~ ~^~ | <?> <?> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | \___/ <<jtwdyp(a)ttlc.net>> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Updated web template v5
by David C. Rankin 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Listmates, For those that have been following my clumsy efforts to put together a nice 3-column web site template, I have what is the 5th version (and what will probably be the last for a while) available for download. Direct Download: (total size 44k - including all icons and images) http://www.3111skyline.com/download/webdev/3ColTemplate.tar.bz2 The Template Example Page: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/webdev/3ColTemplate/ The latest additions are the small javascript "dtree" menu tool (the dhtml menu in Gallery2) and date/time functions, the php, mysql visitors log capturing time, date, IP, referrer, and page request, along with a clean up of the css and pages. There are some pretty cool approaches to different problems solved in the template from the research I did on how to correctly handle the css, javascript and php. To veterans it's basic, but if you wanted to try your hand at building a site, this would be a pretty good template to download and tear apart to see how it all works. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

What is this? I receive the email shown below concerning the openSuSE election. I login with my ID and then receive the following in RED: "The system has decided you lack permissions."

It seem fundamental that whoever did the query to generate the address list would first ascertain whether the people in the address list were capable of voting. Did something go wrong?

[opensuse] Beyond Compare on SuSE?
by Jerry Houston 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

I noticed that Beyond Compare offers BC3 for Linux, and has RPMs available that include SuSE 11. They're available in only the 32-bit flavor, however, and say that BC3 is untested on any 64-bit Linux kernel. I'm tempted to download the test version and give it a try. Does anyone here know if that'll work, or will I just be wasting my time? I'd like to hear from anyone who's already tried it.

I'm not sure if there is a purpose for the widgets not remembering their position, but it doesn't make much sense. I can reproduce here on openSUSE 11.1, so I think you should file a bug about it. I don't use the folder view activity type, so I'd never switched activity types and didn't experience this bug. Are you switching activity types often? If so, why? Normally, you would only change this when the activity is created or on your first login to KDE 4. Still, I think you should file a bug about it, there's no reason the widgets shouldn't stay were they were. If you'd like to see your Desktop icons all the time, you can use either the folder view activity (under appearance settings) or a simple folder view widget (under add widgets). You can use the widget in either the desktop or the folder view activity type. Part of me thinks this might have been because of previously running KDE 4.1 or 4.0. The desktop activity type doesn't normally show anything except the wallpaper and any widgets you've added, and was the only activity type available in early versions; openSUSE added some desktop icon widgets to it for me to partially emulate the Desktop folder[1], and I thought for a moment those were the contents of my Desktop folder. Now, there is the folder view activity type, which shows the contents of the Desktop folder by default (you can show another folder if you like) in addition to a wallpaper and whatever widgets you want to place on it. > (just a comment: I make you to: of this mail because I don't think the > list wil accept attachements) That's fine. > the first attachement shows the folder viewe and the second the result > as soon as I clic on desktop view and "accept". > > Desktop Effects component, All Effects tab, what effects do you > > have enabled? > > none Well, I asked this as part of diagnosing the taskbar "blurriness" it really doesn't matter about the widgets moving.

Yes, it is possible to have a KDE that uses Qt3 and a separate KDE that uses Qt4.

[opensuse] DataTraveler, by Kingston--flash
by D. McGarrett 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

This is a 64 Gig flash drive, which is supposed to work on Linux 2.6+, as well as most modern versions of Windows. Two questions: I have a RAID 2 system on the Windows XP machine, with quite a bit of partition to spare, and a pretty fast CPU and a couple of MB of memory. If I could double boot Suse 11 without losing XP, how would I do that, in slow, plain English. (I didn't set up the RAID, but I know the fellow who did, (my son) and he would help. Second Q: I have an older FRY's machine with SuSE 9.3, which, frankly, I would keep, if it wasn't unfriendly to my HP 22D0d printer, which also has a fairly large unused partition. If I want to keep the old partition and double-boot to SuSE 11, how? Same need for very simple instructions. Finally, one more Q: If I format the flash with the XP file system, will Linux 9.3 be able to read and write it? I have a bunch of SuSE email on the Linux machine that I would like to save, if possible. The CD on that machine doesn't seem to work, at the moment, so I would save the files on the flash, and copy them to the XP. The Linux machine is formated in Reiser, which I have had no trouble with, but I would go to what I think is CDE3, if everybody thinks I should. No, I know nothing whatever about networking; wish I did. It would save me a lot of trouble. doug, wa2say -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Two CDRW/DVDRW Drives and /dev links
by Rodney Wishart 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

I have two sata CDRW/DVDRW drives connected to my box, both of which work fine. I have a problem with the OS (SuSE 11.1) automatically changing links cdrom. cdrw, dvdrom, dvdrw in /dev. When I first boot up the above links are linked to /dev/sr1. If I place a cd or dvd in the "sr1 drive all works as it should. cds and dvds play burn etc. If I insert a cd or dvd in sr0, the OS changes the links to point to /dev/sr0 not /dev/sr1. If I remove the cd/dvd from the sr0 drive and place it in the sr1 drive the OS does not redo/change back the cdrom dvdrom etc. links to sr1. This creates problems with some of the SuSE apps such as the KDE Kioslave-audiocd and Audex to name a few. These apps will then work with the sr0 drive not the sr1 drive. Other apps seem to work just fine even though the OS has changed the links. My question is: Is there a way to stop the OS from changing the links? If I can get the OS to set the cdrom/dvdrom links to /dev/sr0 can I create my own links cdrom1/dvdrom1 to /dev/sr1 without the OS overwriting them?

[opensuse] do you want to install more packages question is missing
by Istvan Gabor 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hello: In openSUSE 11.1 yast software manager always quits after package installation. In previous versions it asked if I wanted to install more packages and I did not have to start the manager again and again. Is this a feature (lack), a bug or am I missing something?

[opensuse] Amarok and MySQL

I'm trying to get Amarok 1.4 to use the MySQL database, and I think I've messed things up. I'm using KDE 3.5.10 running on opensuse 11.1. Under MySQL Configuration, I've got Hostname: localhost Port: 3306 Database: amarok Questions: 1. What is the correct Username? 2. What is the correct password? Do I need to make any magic incantations to the MySQL god (or daemon)? I've setup mysqld to start at bootup. I keep getting 'Access Denied' error messages, whatever I enter for 1 and 2 above.

[opensuse] [Fwd: problems with opensuse software search]
by Dave Howorth 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

IMHO, there's something wrong with searching for software for Opensuse. I wanted to know what version of wine was available on the various versions on opensuse. So I went to http://www.opensuse.org/en/ and in the boxes at the top I chose 'search for software' and typed 'wine' and clicked 'run search'. I was taken to <http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=wine> which showed me a table headed "Download openSUSE" listing how to download opensuse 11.1 for various architectures! Not what I wanted and not what the URL indicates. The page says "This page is also available as an interactive download interface. To access it, please enable JavaScript and reload this page." I normally browse with NoScript, so I temporarily enabled Javascript to see what happened ... The page changes to something completely different! Same URL, completely different content! That's not very RESTful is it? But the content was still not what I wanted. It's headed "Get Software from the openSUSE Build Service". Well no, that's specifically what I DON'T want. I simply want to know what version of wine comes with each version of opensuse! How do I get that information?

[opensuse] Volume mount going mad..
by Anders Norrbring 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

I have this 11.0 server running as a VMware guest. The SUSE system runs only a MySQL database, and of course the most basic processes needed. Every now and then the MySQL server stops answering, and when I check the server, the mounted file system has turned read-only. The file system is a reiserfs 3, and one volume keeps all of the system in one partition. After reboot, reiserfsck cannot fix the file system without going to a complete 'rebuild-tree'. I havenn't been able to find any traces in any log to why it does this, so I'm puzzled and any ideas on this would be great.

[opensuse] Rsnapshot problems
by Bob Williams 03 Feb '09

Hi, For the past few months, I've been using Rsnapshot to to do backups of /home and /etc to an external hard drive. It's worked well. However, this week, it's started thrashing the hard drive, and appears to be making a 50GB backup (that's the size of the source, so an incremental backup will be much less) go on and on. When the 500GB target drive is half full, I intervene and kill the rsync process. Below is part of the logfile from this evening, but it's not very informative.

[opensuse] mismatched drivers for nvidia card
by Constantinos Maltezos 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

I tried the nvidia forums first and received no reply. I recently bought an EVGA e-GeForce 6200 video card (best I could do with AGP). My old one was a 5500 and I used the G01 drivers from the nvidia repository. I figured that this 6200 would use the G02, but it doesn't. It works with the 1.73 legacy drivers, but not the newer 1.80 drivers. I've heard there's a big difference in performance and I'd like to see that. Anyone know why my card isn't conforming? To be honest, if I could find a better AGP card, that's what I'd do - this one has a problem with 80x25 text modes, too. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] New ATI Driver 9.1 (8.573-1) Available - Still Slow...
by David C. Rankin 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Listmates, The new ATI driver is available from the ati site. The 9.1 release is version 8.573-1. The driver installs fine and seems to work fine on 11.0, but it is still slow compared to the 8-9 release. (it's a little slow compared to the 8-12 release). The annoying sluggishness of the driver is most noticeable when browsing through my bookmarks or scrolling pages. It probably effects games as well, but I don't run any to tell. The glxgears comparison is as follows: 9-1 Driver: 01:02 alchemy:~> glxgears #no compix 3030 frames in 5.0 seconds = 605.572 FPS 2587 frames in 5.0 seconds = 517.319 FPS 2578 frames in 5.0 seconds = 515.254 FPS 01:02 alchemy:~> glxgears # with compiz 2753 frames in 5.0 seconds = 550.591 FPS 2598 frames in 5.0 seconds = 519.210 FPS 2604 frames in 5.0 seconds = 520.450 FPS 2600 frames in 5.0 seconds = 519.994 FPS 8-12 Driver: 23:59 alchemy:~> glxgears 3021 frames in 5.0 seconds = 604.191 FPS 2613 frames in 5.0 seconds = 522.544 FPS 2614 frames in 5.0 seconds = 522.795 FPS 8-9 Driver: 23:43 alchemy:~> glxgears 4889 frames in 5.0 seconds = 977.692 FPS 4870 frames in 5.0 seconds = 973.831 FPS I don't know why the ATI Linux driver performance continues to suck. I have issues trouble tickets to ATI for every release since 8-9 and, it still sucks. (That just shows the pull I have with ATI) I can't speak to whether it fixes 3D in 11.1, for that, you will just have to install it and find out. The link to the driver download is: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-drive… The download is the same for i586 and x86_64. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] how to put different wallpapers on each desktop.
by Scott Pancoast 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

In the preious version of SuSE I was using (10.3), I could set different wallpapers on each desktop. I can't find that option in SuSE 11.1 - Where did they move it to? ( I am running KDE 4.1, I think? ) Thanks Scott Pancoast CFCE, CPA ret.

[opensuse] openSuSE mirror network - Close to UNUSABLE - What's up?
by David C. Rankin 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Listmates, Prior to six months ago, if a package update or install threw an error because of a mirror time-out or other malady with the mirror system, it was a rare once-a-year occurrence. Lately, I can't even do a simple update without the mirror system blowing up 20 times. Something has got to get fixed. What was a bullet-proof SuSE system of package installs and updates has become so undependable you literally have to baby-sit each and every update. That's ridiculous. That's unacceptable. I used to kick-off remote updates with ssh host.domain.com 'sudo zypper up -t package' without hesitation, now it looks like the system has gone back to beta status. What is up with the mirror system? If I set up automatic updates in yast to run ... 'automatically'..., I end up with logs full of errors. That never used to happen. Is there something that can be done to fix this? Moreover, is this something that can be reported to bugzilla? Or, is this just something else that would receive the seemingly obligatory 'CLOSED INVA' response from Novell? No matter how you look at it something has gone dramatically downhill in the past 6 months to a year that we need to elevate to the proper people so it can get fixed. Christian, Stefan other opensuse guys, what is the proper direction to approach this one? Who is responsible for making sure the mirror system works in a reliable way? The most recent time-out calamity follows the signature. It is an update I started 7 hours ago that I am still trying to finish. For single repos, I can see just choosing a mirror and adding that as a source if, for example, the update mirrors are having problems, but I shouldn't have to do that for every repository just to be able to perform update. Let me know who to contact or where to file this so it will get the attention it needs. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] OpenSUSE 11.1, Dell Latitude E4300 & Sound :-(
by Fabian Scheler 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hello everybody, a couple of weeks ago I already told my woes regarding the same topic. The only difference: I used OpenSUSE 11.0 instead of 11.1. I hoped that my sound problems (I didn't have sound) just "go away" by upgrading to the newest OpenSUSE version - unfortunately this was not the case. I have the following problem: I do not have sound at all :-( there is nothing but silence ... My Laptop: Dell Latitude E4300 Chipset: Intel G45S Sound: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) I already tried the following things - I played with the sliders - I played with alsaconfig as root - I configured the sound device several times I also tried to uninstall pulseaudio completely, many KDE 4.2 packages, however, apparently depend on libpulse0, so a I can't uninstall that lib as I am using KDE 4.2 and I don't want to change this, as I like KDE 4.2. nothing ... The thing I am really curious about: (as with OpenSUSE 11.0) I compiled and installed a vanilla kernel (2.6.27.{10,11,12,13}) that I configured via 'make oldconfig' - with the kernel I compiled myself sound just works ... When I install a 2.6.28.{0,1,2} vanilla kernel I do not have sound, too. Is there something that breaks sound in the 2.6.28 kernel that has been backported to the OpenSUSE-kernel? I don't know what impact that libpulse0-package has, but I don't think it is the source of my problem, as sound shouldn't work with the vanilla kernel in that case. Has anybody observed similar problems in the meantime? I would really prefer to use the kernel that is shipped with OpenSUSE because of security fixes etc ... Where can I dig further? Any comment is appreciated! Ciao, Fabian Further information that might be helpful /etc/modprobe.d/sound: options snd-hda-intel model=laptop position_fix=1 options snd slots=snd-hda-intel # u1Nb.Q1mP6YkvExA:82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel dmesg | grep -i alsa yields no results -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

However, my KDM login screen have gone, and I cannot switch session to KDE 4.2. Oddly enough, after KDM fails, I can still start KDE 3.5 with "startx". Anyone have a clue what might go wrong?

[opensuse] undeletable emails
by Constantinos Maltezos 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

I think I just made up the word "undeletable", but you get the point. Okay, KDE4 has been freezing on me. I know, that's another thread, but I'm leaving it alone right now. But, I was checking my mail with KMail recently and my system froze again. (These are true lockups - I can't get the hard drive light to light up even by pressing the power button or tyring ctrl+alt+delete.) So I do a hard reboot. The problem is that it was in the middle of downloading my mail and, though it redownloaded the ones that had already downloaded, the ones from before now show nothing in the message pane and will not delete or move. How can I get rid of these things? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Dear all, Sometimes on my internet connection, zypper tries a few mirrors and gets in this really slow loop which normally ends up in the "Timeout exceeded" error. My question is, is there something akin to yum's fastestmirror plugin for zypper where it looks up the list of mirrors and uses the fastest one?

I found an RPM here: ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/dvosburg/openSUSE_11.1/x86_64/dansguardian-2.10.0.2-7.2.x86_64.rpm and here: ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-jmorris/suse111… but I was wondering if there were a more "official" repo where one could get dansguardian.

[opensuse] krunner

ref opensuse 11.1 kde 4.2 Problem: ALt-F2 randomly stops working. I did a fresh install of opensuse 11.1 in all the machines this weekend. Everything seems to be working great, compiz, mythtv, kde4 etc. The only problem I have noticed is that I am working then I need top open another terminal and alt-f2 does nothing when minutes before it was working fine. No other problems. Then I reboot and everything is back to normal. Have any of you observed similar behavior? Is there a way to reactivate the krunner besides reboot. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] New ATI driver, KDE 4 desktop effects
by Jason Bailey, Sun Advocate Webmaster 01 Feb '09

01 Feb '09

Okay, so I downloaded and installed AMD's new ATI driver, 9.1 for Linux (x86_64). My ATI Radeon X600 still doesn't provide me with desktop effects on KDE 4.1. I'm curious if any of you have tried this new driver and if it has worked for you. When I try to enable the settings, KDE immediately tells me it cannot apply them. Any of you have better luck with the 9.1 driver? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Call for Contribution: RPMLint Site
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 01 Feb '09

Hi Folks, I’m an new Packager in OpenSUSE BuildService, and i like this work. But if i would like to package for Factory, RPMLINT gives me any Errors or warnings. But these things to fix, are very difficult. Our Wiki Side for RPMLINT doesn’t contain many Error or Warningcodes. From my side, i can say, that it's not good to make rpmlint as standard in OBS, and we have not enough dokumentation :-( But yesterday i’ve found an Side, with other Errorcodes from RPMLINT. Today i imported these Codes to our Wikiside http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/RpmLint. I think it is not possible to list all codes on the Side. But i wish, that the side includes more Codes in the future. No i would like to make an Call for contribution. If every Packager insert the codes, that he knows, we have an good library soon. And on this Moment i would like to make an request about helping- Thank you all for the hard Work. And please have an eye on Documentations :-) -- Sincereley yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Marketing Team (Weekly News) openSUSE Build Service Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] questions related to KDE4 in opensuse 11.1
by Istvan Gabor 01 Feb '09

01 Feb '09

Hello suse users: I started experiencing with KDE4 in opensuse 11.1. I am not very amazed, to say the least. Right now I would like to know how to do some basic things (at least basic in KDE3) in kde4: 1. How can I hide the panel? How can I add hide buttons to the panel? 2. How can I place/mount removable devices, as USB flashdisk, floppy etc onto the desktop as before? 3. I do not like the 'kickoff' start menu so I always switch to the older mode. How can I add the recently used option there? Why can not I add application icons to the desktop and panel from this menu? 4. How can I set the font size of the digital clock in the panel? The fonts of the date are just too small. In KDE3 it was easy to set the size both of the time and of the date, independently. 5. How can I set the panel style (background, transparency, applets handlers visible etc.)? In KDE3 almost everything can be adjusted. 6. I dont like the blue start menu icon with le left arrow, how can I change it to the conventional suse start menu icon? For now it seem to me that KDE4 is more like gnome than classical (very nice, polished and useable) KDE3.

[opensuse] Enable/Disable XGL from the command-line?
by Jim Henderson 01 Feb '09

01 Feb '09

I've got a program that I'd like to run outside of xgl. Prior to openSUSE 11.0, you could run gnome-xgl-switch to disable xgl effects, but in 11.0 that command was removed. The readme says to use "xgl-switch", but that is used to change the default X server startup, and that's not what I want to do. What I want is the same effect as unchecking the "enable desktop effects box" in simple-ccsm. I want to write a startup script for the program that disables xgl and uses xrandr to change the screen resolution) before launching the program and resets both when the program terminates. I am currently running openSUSE 11.0 - giving 11.1 a few months before I upgrade.

I'm using openSUSE 11.1 with KDE4.1.3 and i'd like to update to KDE4.2. So i clicked on the link http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openS… expecting yast to do the rest for me. Instead i get a bunch of package conflicts like: - kde4-knewsticker-4.1.3-4.11.x86_64 requires kdepimlibs4 < 4.1.60, but this requirement cannot be provided - compiz-kde4-0.7.8-9.1.x86_64 requires libplasma.so.2()(64bit), but this requirement cannot be provided - kdelibs4-4.1.3-4.9.x86_64 requires libkde4 = 4.1.3, but this requirement cannot be provided Do i have to had another repo or something for this to go smoothly ?

[opensuse] Disabling Firefox 3.0 embedded mp3 player

I have opensuse 11.0 clean install, with Firefox 3.0.5. I want to use amarok for all mp3 files. For the most part, it works. I configured the mp3 files to be played through amarok through edit->preferences->applications But certain pages have code that brings up something else. The way it looks in html is a href="http://echo.msk.ru/snd/2009-01-30-personalno-1908.mp3" onclick="return false;" When I click on such links, instead of using Amarok, it shows a small player with tiny controls embedded into the page. I cannot figure why it does it, and how to change this behavior. I have no extensions installed except for a gmail notifier and nosquint (which does text zoom). My only plugins are java, flash and adobe reader. Is there some other configuration setting that I am missing?
