[opensuse] Green standard 11.1 desktop is gone...
by Verner Kjærsgaard 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Hi listmates, - chock, chock... - I fire up my openSuse11.1 this morning and my standard no frills green desktop is gone! I get a brand new blue one with circles and stuff, but ALL my icons are gone, my menu is standard, my favorites are gone. I didn't do anything, I promise you... What can I do (anything to get it back...)

[opensuse] 10.3 source repository
by Dave Howorth 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

I'm not having much luck with my 10.3 machine. I ignored my tomcat update issue, since I don't use it and nobody replied to my mail. So far the sky hasn't fallen. Now I'm back in the land of the source repository! The application I'm trying to build wants header files for antlr. I have antlr installed from the standard repository and I then added the source repository using the community repositories page in yast. Then I remembered that yast software management is broken wrt to sources in this release. So, I found a page with advice and executed the following commands: # rpm -qi antlr-2.7.6-114 ... Source RPM: antlr-2.7.6-114.src.rpm ... # zypper source-install antlr-2.7.6-114.src.rpm * Reading repository 'Suse non-OSS' cache * Reading repository 'Main Repository (OSS)' cache * Reading repository 'Packman Repository' cache * Reading repository 'Main Repository (Sources)' cache * Reading repository 'openSUSE-10.3-Updates' cache Source package 'antlr-2.7.6-114.src.rpm' not found. Now looking at <http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/src-oss/suse/src/> I see that it contains antlr-2.7.6-114.src.rpm but looking at yast's list of repository details it says that the source repository is: <http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/src-oss/suse/> So is that wrong? Should there be a 'src' on the end of the repository name? If so, why did the yast community repository page not know?

[opensuse] Digikam printing
by Hans de Faber 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Using: openSuse 11.1, Linux version 2.6.27.23-0.1-default KDE 4.1.3 Digikam 0.10.0-beta6 The only reason now i don't use digikam is that it doesn't print at all. Many times i tried to find the reason, but i can't find. I reinstalled digikam_kde4 and started it in a fresh user-environment but the problem stays. The problem: After starting digikambrowser and clicking on a picture I get the view-area but no picture. After entering the edit-area i get the picture and i can do everything with it except printing. Doing a -file -printimage absolutely nothing happens. In the view-area there is also no printwizzard in the image menu. All my other applications are printing correct only Digikam doesn't. On a free partition i have installed OpenSuse 4.2 milestone 2 Digikam prints correct there. Does anybody have any idea what can be wrong ?

[opensuse] MinGW cross compiler on openSUSE
by Roger Oberholtzer 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

I have a questions about the MinGW cross compiler support in openSUSE. There are two repositories that have a cross compiler available: /repositories/CrossToolchain:/mingw/openSUSE_11.1/ and /repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_11.1/ They both contain a cross compiler (compiler executes on openSUSE to make Windows executables). However, the one in the former is older. I think it is the one that is packaged with openSUSE. OTOH, the later seems to be much more active, providing not only the cross compiler tools, but also many libraries that have been compiled for Windows (see the noarch directory). In fact, this is a real useful thing for those of us who want to develop as much a possible on SUSE, but must provide Windows versions of things, even if under protest. I guess this is an unsung use of the Build Service. The later repository is also more actively maintained. So, is there any reason the former repository is the one delivered with openSUSE instead of the later. Or is it just that the later is too new? (This question brings up a question of old for which I may have missed the answer: How does one find out who maintains/manages a repository so they can be contacted with questions such as these?) -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] PackageKit install issue
by Roger Oberholtzer 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

For the past few weeks, I have been getting this when adding security updates to my system (via YaST): libpackagekit-glib10-0.3.11-1.14.1.i586 requires PackageKit = 0.3.11, but this requirement cannot be provided uninstallable providers: PackageKit-0.3.11-1.13.1.i586[openSUSE:11.1:Update] PackageKit-0.3.11-1.12.i586[repo-oss] [ ] deinstallation of libpackagekit-glib10-0.3.11-1.14.1.i586 [ ] do not install PackageKit-0.4.5-2.31.i586 [ ] Ignore some dependencies of libpackagekit-glib10 I googled a bit and mainly found the SUSE announcement of a security update to PackageKit (http://www.net-security.org/advisory.php?id=9891), which is what I think is what should be installed here. I have been choosing 'do not install', expecting the issue to be related to repository syncing. But some time has now passed, so I think the issue is something else. Oddly, I saw a similar complaint for Fedora, but the various fixes suggested there involved removing packages that do not have installed. And using those suggestions is like taking a friends extra medication because you have similar complaints and do not want to go to the doctor. Anyone else seen this? Better yet: anyone know the cure? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] How to find out which process is accessing the disk?
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Hello, I have OpenSuSE 11.1 installed and very often, after the machine is idle for a few hours, some process starts using the disk very heavily. When I get back to the computer it is almost unusable, everything is freezing and lagging while the disk continues working heavily. After a few minutes it gets better, but something still continues using the disk. I don't have beagle installed. How do I find out which process is accessing the disk when this happens?
