[opensuse] Problem with shortcut trigger in KDE-3.5x vs KDE-4.x
by Roman B. 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Listmates When I was using KDE-3.5 , I created a shortcut trigger ALT+CTRL+K to open konsole. After transitioning to KDE-4.x, I noticed that I could no longer use this trigger sequence. It always switches to CTRL+ALT+K The problem is KDE-4.x has assigned CTRL+ALT+K as a shortcut trigger for switching keyboard languages. I'm wondering if this is a bug? Any thoughts? Cheers!

[opensuse] seek answer for boot sequence

Hi, all: I want to make one of my init.d script *START* in the END of bootup process, and meanwhile, *STOP* in the END of shutdown/reboot process. On redhat, I can just change the numbers to adjust the boot/shutdown order of my init.d scripts. Can I do the same on openSUSE? I am not quite familiar with the dependency things.

[opensuse] format 160Go fat 32 hard drive

[opensuse] Incorrect Time Display- KDE 4.3 RC3
by Anshul Jain 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

I updated my system this morning with the latest updates for KDE 4.3 RC3. I noticed that the date/time is completely messed up. The timezones selector in the KDE Control Panel does not show my local time (Kolkata/IST, +5.30 hrs). I was able to restore the right time through having my sysadmin hack his way down to /etc/localtime . However, the Analog & Digital time display applets do not display the correct time. They're almost 5 1/2 hours behind the right time. I've checked through Yast, hwclock, date commands and also KDE Control Center...all of them display the right time. Can someone help?

[opensuse] 11.0-x64/Firefox 3.5 100% cpu usage
by Larry Stotler 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

I've run into a problem recently with Firefox v3.5 on openSUSE 11.0/x64. For some reason, it will just start using over 100% cpu on my dual core system, and I will have to kill it and restart it for it to become usable again. Where would I look in the logs to see if it's reporting anything? Also, the openSUSE updater icon did not show that there was an update for Firefox. I was shown one once I did a zypper up. This is the current version after the update: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.0) Gecko/20090623 SUSE/3.5.0-2.1 Firefox/3.5 Which is still not the current version from Mozilla's website, which is at v3.5.1. So, I went into Software Management and checked, and there was an update to go to 3.5.1......... so I checked update and now I have: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090714 SUSE/3.5.1-1.1 Firefox/3.5.1 Does anyone know why the 3.5.1 update wasn't installed automatically?

[opensuse] Router ports
by Bob Williams 27 Jul '09

Hi, I appreciate that NAT routers will differ in their specification, but I think this is a generic question. For info, my router is a Draytek Vigor 2800v. Do NAT routers only block ports above 1024? Or, to put it another way, do I have to explicitly open/redirect ports below 1024? Thanks.

[opensuse] openSUSE Completelu Run on RAM?
by Masim "Vavai" Sugianto 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi there, Is this possible to completely running openSUSE from RAM (using RAMFS or TMPFS) which should be faster than a standard disk? I would like to test openSUSE with standard app (office with kde or gnome base or even with xfce or icewm). Our workstation has minimum 4-8 GB of RAM and all of data load and save onto server. I know it's possible to do that with small Linux distro like Puppy or DSL but it should be an interesting work to make openSUSE run on RAM instead of disk. If a small size is the key, I want to test it with limejeos package. -- Best Regards, Masim "Vavai" Sugianto /************************************************************/ Blog (ID) : http://www.vavai.com/blog Blog (EN) : http://www.vavai.net Community : http://www.opensuse.or.id /************************************************************/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Losing NFS mounts on 11.1
by James Pifer 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

I recently upgraded from 10.3 to 11.1 on my laptop. I'm pretty happy with it so far except for one problem. I have some nfs mounts, and when I switch from wireless to wired or vice versa, I immediately lose the mounts. On 10.3 I could switch back and forth and the mounts would stay connected, or reconnect in the background, not sure which. I've looked through the man page and don't see anything relevant. It looks liked my smbmounts stay connected, so it's only nfs mounts I lose. Any ideas?

[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] How do I re-create a DVD from the backup created by vobcopy?
by David C. Rankin 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Listmates, How do I re-create a DVD from the backup created by vobcopy? I have searched and I have read howto after howto and I still am stuck. Between ffmpeg this, dvdauthor that, qdvdauthor this to, I'm confused. I have written a script to properly prepare the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS directories and to parse the filenames and copy the vob files saved with vobcopy to VTS_XX_Y.VOB and place them along with the IFO files in the VIDEO_TS directory. I get that I'm missing the BUP files and that somehow dvdauthor is supposed to recreate them, but that is where I get stuck. When I try and use qdvdauthor, it tries to completely ffmpeg decode/encode the original vob files to another separate directory. Why? I already have the vob files under VIDEO_TS, they were just ripped, why decode and reencode them? Seems nuts. The files that I have from ripping are: 19:42 nirvana:/home/samba/video> find myvideo -type f myvideo/tmp/myvideo-001-preview-orig.jpg myvideo/tmp/myvideo-003-nav.log myvideo/tmp/myvideo-007-nav.log myvideo/tmp/myvideo-001-preview-zoom.jpg myvideo/tmp/myvideo-001-preview-clip2.jpg myvideo/tmp/backup.rip myvideo/tmp/ifo/vts_01_0.ifo myvideo/tmp/ifo/vts_02_0.ifo myvideo/tmp/myvideo-009-nav.log myvideo/tmp/myvideo-002-nav.log myvideo/tmp/myvideo-005-nav.log myvideo/tmp/myvideo-001-nav.log myvideo/tmp/myvideo-001-preview-orig.raw myvideo/tmp/myvideo-008-nav.log myvideo/tmp/myvideo-004-nav.log myvideo/tmp/myvideo-006-nav.log myvideo/tmp/logfile.txt myvideo/tmp/myvideo-001-preview-clip1.jpg myvideo/vob/009/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/002/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/008/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/003/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/006/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/004/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/005/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/007/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/001/myvideo-002.vob myvideo/vob/001/myvideo-008.vob myvideo/vob/001/myvideo-007.vob myvideo/vob/001/myvideo-005.vob myvideo/vob/001/myvideo-006.vob myvideo/vob/001/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/001/myvideo-004.vob myvideo/vob/001/myvideo-003.vob I have moved and renamed the files to: 20:44 nirvana:/home/samba/video> find authdir/ -type f authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_6.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_04_1.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_05_1.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_06_1.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_2.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_02_1.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_03_1.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_07_1.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_8.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_02_0.IFO authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_3.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.IFO authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_08_1.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_09_1.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_7.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_4.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_5.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB From reading, it seems that I now need to create the BUP files and then use mkisofs to create the iso and then burn with growisofs.

[opensuse] Metacity weirdness

openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 (GNOME desktop), just applied some updates today and Compiz is dead now (it seems that the X11:XGL repo got a couple updates that caused some problems) - not a big deal for me, because I frequently switch to Metacity. However it seems that the Metacity keybindings are whacked. Alt-Space, Alt-Tab, Alt-Shift-Tab, and several other keybindings don't work now. I can alt-esc through the windows, but I can't alt-tab. Alt-F2 does work, though. The keybindings all look right in gconf-editor; I even tried a gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/metacity to get things reset, but for some reason these keybindings just don't want to work.

[opensuse] Seems openSuSE has some catching up to do
by David C. Rankin 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

Listmates, This was a bit surprising. In this rating openSuSE is the leader in the number of obsolete packages and lag time in packaging. Granted the data underlying the study is not bulletproof, but it does seem to suggest a bit of corporate paralysis. I have no idea of the differences between the ways other distros handle upstream/downstream package movement, but some of the distros shown to do a better job have only a tiny fraction of the resources that openSuSE has.

[opensuse] gecko-mediaplayer
by Stan Goodman 26 Jul '09

I have been advised to use gecko-mediaplayer for viewing Windows Media video clips in preference to mplayer-plugin, because I have been unable to view clips from a specific website. To give it a try, I've installed gecko-mediaplayer, and it does appear in about:plugins. In Firefox's Preferences > Applications, I now need to specify the use of this new plugin for Windows Media files, but this option isn't offered to me. Presumably there has to be a way to do this.
