[opensuse] Flash video clips on news websites
by Stan Goodman 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

This system is OS v11.1. Recently it stopped showing the video clips on the CNN.COM site (which is where I get much of my foreign news); a few visits to other news sites showed me that the behavior is not limited to CNN. The behavior is that the graphics status line declares that data is being transferred, but when all that is done, the window remains black. I also still have an installation of OS v10.3 on the machine; the same clips that are not displayed on the v11.1, do show on the v10.3. Comparison of the JavaScript permissions for the two systems are Identical, so the problem is not one of JS. My next attempt at diagnosis was to disable all the browser extensions. This made no difference, so the problem is also not in an extension. The only remaining possibility that occurs to me is the Flash plugin. The ShockWave plugin is present (v10.0.r22), and is enabled for swf and spl formats. But I have also noticed lately that several sites I have visited refuse to admit me because they claim that I don't have Flash, and I should install Flash v8 or higher, and I assume/hope that this is a clue to the present problem, even if I don't know how to interpret it. I have also examined about:config and searched for lines containing "flash", but nothing jumps out at me as a possible connection. Any advice will be welcome. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What environment variable control konsole middle mouse history or scrollback??
by David C. Rankin 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

Listmates: When you use "su -" to start a new root session in konsole, the middle-mouse wheel no longer scrolls the screen, instead is goes back in the CLI history line up-arrow and down-arrow. What is the setting that controls this behavior? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] panel Auto-Hide delay in kde4? Where?
by David C. Rankin 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

Listmates, Where would one find the panel auto-hide delay option in kde4. You know, the old panel setting that allows you to set panel-hiding to "Immediate", "1 Second", 2 Seconds", etc..... Searched system settings, and this is another missing control feature. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Howto set next OS to boot from CLI like done with KDE logout/shutdown??
by David C. Rankin 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

Listmates (Anders -- you listening??) In KDE when I select shutdown, I can choose which OS to boot next on restart from the drop down list which apparently reads the grub entries and then sets a flag to boot one of the other OS's. What flag or variable is being set by the little restart menu options ... and ... how do I set it from the command line? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] logrotate + compress + copytruncate on application log
by Ben Kevan 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

Howdy Folks, I wanted to know if anyone has done a combination of copytruncate and compress on an application log without shutting down the app.. does the copied file get truncated? Here's what I have: /path/to/file.log { rotate 4 size=100M copytruncate compress ifempty } Would the log that gets copied (assuming as file.log.1) then get compressed? or would it try to compress the mail log file.log? How do they work in conjunction with eachother? Thanks. -- I say never be complete. I say stop being perfect. I say let's evolve.
