[opensuse] Hostnames
by Bob Williams 25 Jul '09

25 Jul '09

In the Yast Host Configuration module, I have the following entries 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.2 barrowhillfarm barrowhillfarm ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback ... This would explain why my use of the 'localhost' alias failed to point to 127.0.0.1 :( When I try to edit the 127.0.0.1 entry I get a warning that it's a system host, and do I really want to change it? Is it OK to add the hostname 'localhost' to 127.0.0.1, and what is ::1? Thanks, Bob -- Registered Linux User #463880 FSFE Member #1300 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 11.1, Kernel 2.6.27.25-0.1-default, KDE 4.2.4 Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz, 4GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 9200GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi all, I have 3 different gtk-qt applications to change the GTK theme of FF 3.5 under KDE 4.3, kde4-gtk-qt, kcm_gtk, kcm_gtk-qt. Which is the right one? I'm having a tough time changing the GTK theme from Gilouche to Nodoka or Clearlooks. Would appreciate some help! :) -Anshul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

You will need to use "kdesu /usr/bin/systemsettings" to gain access to the settings. Give it a try. THANKS, David! I'm using KDE 4.3 beta on 11.1, so the procedure is a tad easier. All you have to do is in the "Personal Settings," is go to "Advanced," then Policykit Authorization, freedestop, hal, storage, mount, then add any users to the "removable" media listing. Pure stupidity that I didn't find that before, but we seem to be always finding something that we didn't know about before, eh? :) Best, Fred -- "Where's The Birth Certificate?" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] konqueror ftp bug?
by lynn 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Hi I have the latest factory update and konqueror version 4.2.86 release 125 using KDE 4.2.98 (info from konq help menu) When downloading by ftp from a remote site to my own hard disk konq creates the folders but when file transfer starts it crashes or gives me another login prompt. The konq from KDE 3 (/opt/kde3/bin) works fine however big the file transfer is. I've searched bugzilla but can't find anything similar. Can anyone confirm this and whether it is OK to report bugs in factory via bugzilla? Also, where would I look for error messages from konq? Thanks.

I suspect that kmail uses the default pdf setting and since kmail is basically a front end to konqueror or whatever browser you have set as the default in your application defaults, there is a good chance that you are actually calling the adobe plugin from kmail.

[opensuse] Update problem?
by John E. Perry 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Attempting to keep my kde 4.2.4 up to date, in hopes of getting a fix to two problems caused by upgrades from 10.3/kde3.5 (see preceding unanswered messages), I've been getting this error message for the past three days: PackageKit Error dep-resolution-failed: patch:compiz-1005.noarch conflicts with compiz-kde4.i586 The automatic updater says it can't do anything; I have to use yast to fix it. When I try to resolve the problem with yast I'm faced with the option of downgrading dozens or hundreds of packages to 4.1.3, or not installing compiz-1005.noarch. If I don't downgrade and install this, within a few minutes I get the yellow triangle again, asking to upgrade to compiz-1005.noarch. And, of course, while these things are going on, I get these mysterious black boxes with barely readable dark gray title boxes that say "kdeupdater", etc. Help?

[opensuse] Memory leak in Kmail- KDE 4.3 RC3?
by Anshul Jain 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Hi, I've observed a strange memory leak (?) issue with Kmail on my 11.0 KDE 4.3 RC3 install. I use POP3 and have around 5000 emails...1200 in the Inbox and rest in an Archive folder. The memory usage starts off at ~45MB and if I click on any email with a large attachment..say a PDF file of 4 MB, it jumps to 88MB and back again to 45 MB if I click on any other message. Also, with time...the memory usage starts to increase and has gone as high as 80MB. If I close Kmail and restart, it returns back to normal. I don't know if this is normal behavior with Kmail, since I never paid attention to it. I've created a bug report on bugs.kde.org on this:- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201083 Has anyone observed this as well?

[opensuse] Intel 845 problem with 11.1
by John Bennett 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Have just upgraded a PC with Intel 845 onboard graphics, from 11.0 to 11.1. Initially tried installing KDE4 and it was REALLY slow, so then changed to Gnome, which didn't seem much better. Have now gone back to KDE3 (whatever is default for 11.1 - and uninstalled KDE4 and Gnome) and initially it SEEMED better, but after a bit of use, have realised it is very noticeably slower than when 11.0 was installed. Apart from the playing with GUI, the rest of the system is very basic, with very little apart from the basic installed. I have read quite a few emails re problems with the Intel 845 graphics and the latest X system, and did notice when I had KDE4 installed, that I was missing (read: they were black) some icons in the system tray... but apart from that, nothing else noticeable. Has anyone got any ideas on fixing this up?? Thanks, John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

You are not a troll; you *are* superhuman, according to your statement above. I respectfully apologize about my statement for your royal highness, I should not have been so distrustfull that you have abilities that border on magic. I can not fathom how one can handle a club mag with 30[! so many!!!] or even 50[!!!] pages, that is a size that I haven't seen in my 29 years work in the publishing industry (and I'm one of the LaTeX core developers). Wow, you are really great and we must all bow before you and follow your gospel. And you are even on 3 committes that meet 2 or 3 times a **month** (gasp! so often!!!).

[opensuse] Recently after an update...
by Fred A. Miller 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Recently after an update...not sure which one of the last few days, I can't access any of my card memory of any type...mostly for my Canon digital equipment, but USB works. I tried several diff. card types and NON are readable. IF a windows does pop up, and I choose the file manager, the directory is /home/<my user>/documents/ where I see a folder NDGrad and no other folders, drives, etc. If I use Konq. or Dolphin with the address: sysinfo:/ , I can see all drives and the card....but can't access any images on it. Does anyone know what got messed up and how can I fix it? Thanks!

[opensuse] FireFox 3.5.1 blank pages
by Mitch Claborn 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

I installed FireFox 3.5.1 from the Mozilla repository. Frequently, it will show a blank page instead of rendering the page as it should. I can view the source of the page, and it is fully there, yet the page shows as blank. Refreshing, sometimes more than once, will fix it. Anyone else seen this?

[opensuse] moved svs repos to new server and now users cannot commit.
by James D. Parra 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

Hello, I created a dump file from svn running on Suse 9.3 with SVN version 1.4.3 to a Suse 11.1 server running SVN version 1.5.2. Folks are able to check out, but when they attempt to commit they get an error of; "Commit: svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Authorization failed." The ../conf/passwd file was ported over to the new server with all the user details. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

[opensuse] bulding a 32-bit lib package for x86_65
by Rich Coe 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

I'm trying to use rpmbuild to build both a x86-64 and 32-bit package. On the examples in the distribution, the same src rpm is used for both output packages. What is the arguments to rpmbuild to make package-lib-32bit-X.x ? I'm currently do this to get a 32-bit package: CC='gcc -m32' CXX='g++ -m32' linux32 rpmbuild -ba --target=i586 package-lib.spec For example, I'm trying to build xorg-x11-libXt-32bit from xorg-x11-libXt.
