Reducing the MTU is merely masking that problem. It's like driving a car that vibrates at 60 and you "fix" the problem by only driving at 30. IP is supposed to be able to handle different MTUs and fragmentation is one way it does that. MTU discovery may also be used. If you can do a full 1500 bytes on ethernet, but not on WiFi, then I'd start looking at the WiFi gear. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Frozen Applets
by Anton Aylward 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

I'd report this as a bug, except for two reasons: 1) Its not consistent 2) I can't pin it down and set the conditions to reproduce or not it at will Sometimes when I boot & log into KDE4 all the applets are frozen. Sometimes they are not but freeze later on. Sometimes they don't freeze all day The analog clock doesn't "tick" - the second hand doesn't move. None of the applets on the panel respond Well, not when I click on them. They do some time later and surprise me, but then "don't respond". And then a few minutes later the do and surprise me. Meanwhile, all the applications are running OK. I'm running openSUSE 11.1 kernel 2.6.27.7-9-default, though it happens with -pae as well, ATI X300 with fglrx driver (how do I tell which version?), kde4-kwin-4.2.0-197.2, kdelibs4-4.2.0-97.1, kdebase4-4.2.0-70.9, kde4-plasma-addons-4.2.0-55.5, plasma-theme-aya-4.2.0-27.8 All from the current factory. I update daily but this has persisted for over a week. I can tab between applications and they all run well. I can start applications from an xterm and they start fast and run well. All while the applets are waiting to respond. I'm at a loss as to how to track this problem down and feel like a fool trying to do a bug report with no indication of cause. -- There are still places where people think that the function of the media is to supply information -- Donn Rottenburg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello, So I try to test xen. openSUSE 11.1, install with YaST. reboot. in YaST, virtualization, start new virtual machine, config screen.

[opensuse] mp3 on konqueror file browser
by otavio 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

After I loaded an audio CD, I founded that konquero showed the music list, a directory with the songs decoded to ogg vorgis, a folder with the songs as cda and anothe with all the songs as wav files. But I'd like to rip the cd to mp3. Has anyone done it before? I know konqueror can rip the cd to mp3, but, maybe, the suse policy angainst proprietary software has remove this capability from konqueror. I can play all the formats normally, listen to mp3 and avi files. Is there any plugin to konqueror to do so? thanks Otavio -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] converting ape and cue sheets
by Jesse Shaver 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

I am running suse 11.0 and have a bunch of ape CD images with cue files that I would like to convert into something more linux friendly (likely MP3). I have found that using K3b I can convert them, but unless I convert each CD one at a time, the meta data gets messed up. With nearly 100 CDs worth, 1 CD at a time is more work by hand than I really want to do. Google seems to have rather limited solutions and I am wondering if anyone around here has run across a clean way to do this.

[opensuse] installing xen
by jdd 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

On the other thread "linux vitualization", I asked for a usable virtualization system for lowend HW hosted online. One of the proposed solution is xen. However the doc: http://en.opensuse.org/Installing_Xen3 is very unclear. When one reboot with the xen kernel, does he boot the openSUSE complete system (manageable as usual) or a minimal system? "First after the reboot you have to create a filesystem which will be the root filesystem for your domU" what does this mean??? I don't need lot of details, only know if the xen machine is built on a file like virtualbox or vmware, or on a partition. I don't have lvm neither (always had problem with it). If yes , I will try it on my own desktop thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412160445 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
