Unfortunately, it's not just a question of them magically getting resolved, someone has to write code to fix them, and if the resources aren't available or are working on other bugs (or there are none with the necessary skills), then the bugs can't just magically resolve themselves. Sure, it would be great if they could be resolved, but the thing is it comes down to available resources. Reproducibility is one thing that helps, but another thing that helps raise the problem is the number of people impacted.

[opensuse] df says partition is 100% full, but du shows only 20% is used
by Ben Kevan 04 Jun '09

04 Jun '09

I have a machine here where df shows a mount point being 100% full. However, when you do a du -h it shows that only 1.1G of the 5G is being used. How can I make sure that df is reporting accuratly? -- I say never be complete. I say stop being perfect. I say let's evolve.

[opensuse] KDE4.3Beta1 QT45 Library Breaks Yast Software Management In 11.0 Bug Filed
by David C. Rankin 04 Jun '09

04 Jun '09

Listmates, After installing kde 433 beta1 with the 1-click-install, yast software management is broken by installation of qt45 libraries. A bug has been filed on the issue which you may reference at: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509626 On the flip side, KDE4 is looking good. Only saw the crash assistant one time while going through the configure desktop settings. Compiz is really strange in 4.3 desktop effects, but most of it works. No app crashes so far and I was able to configure kmail for this email, so things are looking up. I'll leave trying to upload from Quanta vi fish_kio for later ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Ghostscript (PS->PDF) Terrible Performance Under 11.1 Compared To 10.3
by Adam Tauno Williams 04 Jun '09

04 Jun '09

We use openSUSE for our Intranet web servers, which frequently convert documents to PDF using a2ps/ps2pdf. Under openSUSE 10.3 (GS 8.15.4-3.2) this process is very fast. Unfortunately after upgrading to openSUSE 11.1 (GS 8.62-31.43.1) we find the process to be excruciatingly slow. With just a 135KB PDF, containing no images, we see times like: openSUSE 10.3: real 0m1.5s user 0m0.4s sys 0m1.1s openSUSE 11.1: real 0m5.2s user 0m1.6s sys 0m3.6s so that is quite a bit slower proportionally. But run a 632 page postscript file (again, no images) and... openSUSE 10.3: real 0m4.680s user 0m3.912s sys 0m0.768s openSUSE 11.1: effectively never finishes This is the time for running the following command: /usr/bin/gs -dSAFER -dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=file.pdf -dSAFER -c .setpdfwrite -f file.ps openSUSE 10.3: ghostscript-fonts-std-8.15.4-3.2 ghostscript-library-8.15.4-3.2 openSUSE 11.1 ghostscript-library-8.62-31.43.1.i586 ghostscript-fonts-std-8.62-31.43.1.i586 ghostscript-x11-8.62-31.43.1.i586 ghostscript-fonts-other-8.62-31.43.1.i586 ghostscript-omni-8.62-31.43.1.i586 I've tried removing ghostscript-omni to no effect. I've watched with "strace -c" and it doesn't appear to be spending all it's time in system calls, so it is Ghostscript itself. During the run time the gs process pegs the CPU. Any suggestions would be very appreciated. ----- OpenGroupware developer: awilliam(a)whitemice.org <http://whitemiceconsulting.blogspot.com/> OpenGroupare & Cyrus IMAPd documenation @ <http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/whitemice/wmogag/file_view> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] I've messed something up - YaST modules won't load...
by Rodney Baker 04 Jun '09

04 Jun '09

Hi, all. Somehow I've messed something up along the way and I suspect I've got some incompatible libs installed somewhere. Every time YaST2 Control Centre tries to load a module I get xmessage popping up with an error message: YaST got signal 11 at YCP file Wizard.ycp:341 /sbin/yast2: line 421: 15125 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS This is occurring under KDE3, KDE4 and Gnome. The last time I saw this it was related to incompatible qt libs but I'm not sure if this is the case this time. (See - that's what I get for playing around with factory repositories etc...some people never learn ;-) ). Anyone got any ideas? -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker(a)iinet.net.au ===================================================

[opensuse] udev -- what is this doing?
by Mike McMullin 04 Jun '09

I'm trying to solve a persistent video device naming problem having to do with myth, it requires the /dev/video? to be consistent on each startup. I have what looks like a solution but do not understand exactly what it means, can anyone who understands udev shed some light on what this is doing and how it's doing it? solution : /etc/udev/rules.d/51-setup-video KERNEL=="video[0-9]*",ATTR{name}=="ivtv0 encoder MPG",DRIVERS=="ivtv",NAME="video0" KERNEL=="video[0-9]*",ATTR{name}=="gspca main drive",DRIVERS=="usb",NAME="video1" Those are two lines split by evolution, they are derived by the following generated info: Udevinfo starts with the device specified by the devpath and then walks up the chain of parent devices.

[opensuse] how to download Suse

I am stuck with SuSE 10.3 . I happen to have little time next week and would like to update my computer. I wonder how long it will take to download SuSE laest version using an ADSL line advertized as 7Mb which is in reality 1.3 Mb.

[opensuse] iPod/Amarok oddness
by Bruce Ferrell 04 Jun '09

04 Jun '09

Hi All I'm not finding the answer on the net so I'm forced to ask the list. I just got a new laptop and I loaded OpenSUSE 11.1 boxed. Amarok setup went OK, except the packman install no longer seems to have the mysql storage. No Bigee. When I plug my iPod (5G) in, I no longer am offered the option to open in a new windows (indicating, I think that it's not automatically mounted). Mount at the CLI agrees. I don't recall having to do anything on my old laptop to get it to automatically recognize USB media, but I ran it for over 6 years and I may have forgotten. Suggestions?
