[opensuse] kde4 konqueror will not connect via proxy
by lynn 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

The proxy works for firefox but not for konq in 11.0 kde 4. I've tested the proxy via yast and it works fine. Also, other browsers recognise it. Bug? I'm using squid on a 10.3 server with 11.0 and KDE4 Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kde3 is gone... for 11.2
by jdd 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

I just notice that there will be nomore kde3 for the upcomming openSUSE 11.2. I don't want to grin. Not necessary. I just wanted to ask here what do you have in kde3.5 and don't find in kde4 and you would like to have. Not to say you will have it but to give info to devs... I stopped using kde4 on 11.1 for problems in the config panel and lack of understanding of the new windows layout. I expect this to be solved before next release; what do you think? be constructive :-) jdd NB: I miss the kweather applet, but it don't work neither in kde 3.5 :-( -- 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

[opensuse] curl error-connection time out
by Teruel de Campo MD 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Today I finally installing opensuse 11.1 kde 4.2 in all machines. Q. Using yast software manager to update the system very often I get a curl error and a connection time out. I retry and everything is OK. Everything is working OK but I had to be behind the screen to interact all the time with this connection time outs. I do not remember anything like that previously. It may be the server are very busy. Any comments. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Annoying Desktop behaviour of Programmes
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi all, what is beginning to be quite annoying is working with different Desktops. I have different working groups organised on a desktop each. I often have OpenOffice Writer, Calc and Firefox open on various desktops. When I open up a link on Desktop 1 in Thunderbird, a window opens on the latest FireFox I used prevously; the one on the other desktop I used last. I have to hunt down in which desktop it opened by going to each desktop and activate it. This also happens when I open an OpenOffice document or calc file with konqueror. Closing all apps on the desktops before going to another desktop defeats the purpose of having different desktops - or have I missed the rational behind different desktops. Is it a bug or a feature? :-( All -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] It's Bug? Thunderbird doesn't open "file name.eml" (from konqueror, konsole ...)
by Alexander R 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

If I click on "any file.eml" (file name with spaces) and Open with.. > Thunderbird, then a TB not open this file. If filename has no space, then TB has no problem Affected OpeSUSE 10.3, 11.0, 11.1 Solution: Edit file "/usr/lib{64}/thunderbird/thunderbird.sh" with your favorite editor and change it like below: before $AOSS $MOZ_PROGRAM $@ after $AOSS $MOZ_PROGRAM "$@" p.s. it may has only $MOZ_PROGRAM $@ , without $AOSS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to configure konqueror to show KB and MB instead of KiB and MiB??
by David C. Rankin 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Listmates, KDE4 konqueror is displaying size in KiB and MiB instead of the traditional KB and MB. Where can I change this so I can view the size in KB & MB? The 'i' means nothing to my use of konqueror, but it is distracting to the eye to now have a whole new useless column of 'i's streaming down the page. The view is a whole lot cleaner without them. I'm sure somebody cares whether the file is 41.6 KiB instead of 41.6 KB, but I would be startled if the percentage of people that do exceeds 1%. Where is the setting controlled? I have looked through Control Center Country/Region & Language and cannot find where to change this. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Using desktop cube
by Bogdan Cristea 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

I am new to compiz and I am trying to learn to use 3D effects in KDE. I have enabled the desktop cube effect in openSuSE 11.1, KDE 4.1.3, but when pressing ctrl+alt and moving the mouse with button 1 pressed nothing happens. Could someone give me some directions ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Keyboard stops working
by Mike 04 Jul '09

04 Jul '09

This has been happening for a while. Originally it was noticed when running citrix, but that is no longer the case. When typing the keyboard just stops working. It's a PS/2 keyboard. Without using the keyboard how can I reset it? I could pull out the laptop and ssh back in but what command would I need to run. linux-zlo2 2.6.22.19-0.3-default #1 SMP 2009-05-27 10:35:34 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux open suse 10.3 Kde 3.5 -- Collector of vintage computers http://www.ncf.ca/~ba600 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] athlon unable to run qemu-kvm, poosibly caused by cpu-parameter
by Julien Michielsen 02 Jul '09

02 Jul '09

I tried to get WinXP installed under kvm, and noticed I could not get it installed, because the MS-Win setup-procedure got confused. I had run two commands: qemu-img create -f qcow2 ./winxp.img 10G this command worked fine, to prepare a WinXP- immage on disk (in direc- tory /mnt/a14). Secondly I wanted to install the XP on disk such that qemu-kvm can work on it, and therefor I used the command qemu-kvm -M pc -m 1G -cpu athlon -cdrom /dev/sr0 -boot d /mnt/a14/winxp.img Having given this command the Windows setup started to run, but ended in failure with the message "Cannot load file SETUPREG.HIV into memory. Errorcode is 3072. Push any key to stop the installation program" Even though setup complained of not being able to find the SETUPREG.HIV-file, this file was present in the subdirectory I386 of the Win-XP-CD. I assume the setup-procedure got confused by the cpu-parameter of the qemu-kvm - command: qemu-kvm -cpu athlon. If the parameter had had i386 as its value, I suppose the setup-procedure of MS-Win would have searched the I386 directory, and everything had worked fine. Is this a known problem of the installation of WinXP under qemu-kvm, and does a work-around exist? If I could use my present allready installed XP-version on a separate partition as an input to the qemu-kvm command (instead of the MS Win CD) the problem might be side-stepped. Is this possible at all? Thanks for your interest. -W- Julien Michielsen julien(a)michkloo.xs4all.nl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

When I checked my 11.0 version, all I have is compat-libstdc++-5.0.7-121.1 (which I understand is libstdc++33 in 11.1), but: [01:44 alchemy:/srv/www/htdocs/wordpress] # rpm -qa | grep libstdc++ compat-libstdc++-5.0.7-121.1 ------------- I do have other unrelated devel packages installed: libstdc++44-4.4.0_20090316-2.1 libstdc++43-devel-4.3.3_20090126-2.3 libstdc++43-doc-4.3.3_20090316-2.1 libstdc++44-32bit-4.4.0_20090316-2.1 libstdc++-devel-4.3-39.1 but nothing on the system related to libstdc++.so.5 [02:16 alchemy:/srv/www/htdocs/wordpress] # rpm -q --whatprovides libstdc++.so.5 compat-libstdc++-5.0.7-121.1 I have never had a compile problem with the ATI driver related to a missing library. ATI botched a couple of driver releases that not even Stefan could compile for 11.1. The key here I think is 11.1. ATI hasn't released a driver to date that will work with my hardware and 11.1. Anders and others are doing OK with the 9-3 release (although I suspect if they compare the 11.1 fglrx driver performance to that of the Sept. 08 driver running on 11.0 or 10.3 they would be wildly disappointed by the comparison.) The problem is there is no "measuring stick" or a good performing driver that will compile against 11.1. I know in my experience with the 8-10, 8-11, 8-12, and 9-1 fglrx drivers, my graphics performance on my laptop with an X1200/x1300 chipset all the foregoing drivers suffer greater than a 40% performance loss compared against the 8-9 driver. I would like to see the test results of others who think the 9-3 driver is doing OK, comparing (1) the glxgears frame rates w/default window size, and (2) the overall feel and responsiveness of the graphics subsystem against their same hardware running 11.0 or 10.3 with the 8-9 driver. I would be willing to wager their would be a bunch of bruised chins from all the "jaw dropping" that would occur when the performance penalty of the recent ATI drivers is actually measured in black-and-white. It's almost impossible to tell how much of a performance hit you have taken just by looking at the screen and saying "yes, it looks OK" without doing an actual comparison. As for Peter, the only thing I can think of is just to plug libstdc++.so.5 into webpin on 11.1 and see what packages come back and then install those packages to get around his compile problem. The search on 11.1 says the package is provided by the following. Since I don't run 11.1 (primarily due to the ATI issue (to be fair other things as well)), I haven't had to beat my head into the wall over this yet, but if it were me, I would just go down the list of the 1-click installs below, find my architecture and install every damn one of them that matched until I had a usable libstdc++.so.5 on my system to compile against: Results from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/ libstdc++33 (3.3.3) The standard C++ shared library contains /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 1-click: http://api.opensuse-community.org/searchservice//YMPs/openSUSE_111/3ca198ef… libstdc++33-32bit (3.3.3) The standard C++ shared library contains /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 Results from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/gcc/openSUSE_11.1 1-click: http://api.opensuse-community.org/searchservice//YMPs/openSUSE_111/19e75469… libstdc++33 (3.3.3) The standard C++ shared library contains /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 1-click: http://api.opensuse-community.org/searchservice//YMPs/openSUSE_111/f12e9978… libstdc++33-32bit (3.3.3) The standard C++ shared library contains /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 1-click: http://api.opensuse-community.org/searchservice//YMPs/openSUSE_111/c7de6099… libstdc++33-64bit (3.3.3) The standard C++ shared library contains /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.5 1-click: http://api.opensuse-community.org/searchservice//YMPs/openSUSE_111/8d311289… And if that didn't work, I'd just grab a copy from 11.0 and see if that would work.
