[opensuse] backup
by John Heinen 12 Jul '09

12 Jul '09

A large retailer is offering a Seagate 250 mb backup hard drive at a fair price, including various programs for backups etc, for windows only. I know very litle about backups except copying files to a cd/dvd. How would I backup Ubuntu and other Linux's to such a drive?

[opensuse] loss of sound after nx session
by Mike McMullin 12 Jul '09

12 Jul '09

Installs on both system:11.1, sound on client: pulseaudio, and the nx RPM's from NoMachine on host and client. I have noticed that when I end an NX session into my other system that I have no sound on the system originating system. Logging out and back in clears the issue, but I'd like to not have to do that. Has anyone else experienced this? I've done some searching of bugzilla and nothing matching sound + nx

Here is what I do (using Firefox): I point my browser to http://bugzilla.novell.com/ this causes a redirect to https://bugzilla.novell.com/index.cgi I click "Login" which gives me a page asking for "Username" and "Password". I enter my username (not my email address) and my password and I hit enter. So far this has never failed to work unless during a novell maintenance outage which are pretty rare. At which point does your login fail? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.3°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] unable to login normal user under KDE4
by Julien Michielsen 12 Jul '09

12 Jul '09

I succeeded tp install opensuse 11.1 without problems, but this was under KDE3.5 . However, when trying to install it with the new KDE4 I am not able to login as a normal user. Logging in as root succeeds all right, but as a normal user I can only login in a console. Trying to login under X fails: the screen vanishes for a second or so, and comes back with the same login- screen. Anyone a suggestion how to login under X. and/or a suggestion how to solve this?

[opensuse] ping and telnet solves hostname to different IP addresses?
by Zhang Weiwu 12 Jul '09

12 Jul '09

Using Linux for 7 years this is the first time I see such thing happening, the same host name resolve to different IP address almost at the same time, one by ping the other by telnet. How could this happen? Ariel@Jamaica:~> ping svn.realss.com PING svn.realss.com (221.219.118.212) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 221.219.118.212: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=3.15 ms ^C --- svn.realss.com ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 3.156/3.156/3.156/0.000 ms Ariel@Jamaica:~> telnet svn.realss.com svn Trying 202.106.199.36... ^C Ariel@Jamaica:~> ping svn.realss.com PING svn.realss.com (221.219.118.212) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 221.219.118.212: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=3.29 ms 64 bytes from 221.219.118.212: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=2.47 ms ^C --- svn.realss.com ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1002ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.476/2.886/3.297/0.414 ms Ariel@Jamaica:~> telnet svn.realss.com svn Trying 202.106.199.36... ^C I did not put this host to /etc/hosts so I guess I can limit the problem to DNS. By the way, 221.219.118.212 is the correct IP address of the host. 202.106.199.36 is the server of our ICP used to display advertisement. In our network 1/10 dns solving points to 202.106.199.36 so we Internet browsers see one advertisement per 10 pages. I know about opendns, I just curious how this behavior (telnet / ping behave differently) could happen. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Audio CD Import in Tellico 1.3.5/1.9
by Fabian Scheler 12 Jul '09

12 Jul '09

Hello everybody, I really like tellico and I use it to manage my CD collection. I especially like tellico for the feature to import new CDs just by querying some cddb-server. In recent tellico versions that are available from openSUSE repositories (e.g. 1.9SVN from the KDE Desktop Factory repository) this does not work any more. In the 1.9 version the menu item is greyed out, in the 1.3.5 version the feature just does not work any more. There also is no appropriate data source available in the tellico settings :-( Has this feature been cut by openSUSE packagers, is it an upstream issue or am I just missing something? Thanks in advance! Ciao, Fabian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
