[opensuse] how to make cpu clock rate step down dynamically on low load?
by Zhang Weiwu 05 Jul '09

05 Jul '09

Now I can only manually slow down my iBook G4 CPU from 1.2GHz to 600MHz by setting scaling governor to 'powersave' but I want it automatic. What I tried: I. Try to set /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor to ondemand, doesn't work, because ondemand is not one of scaling_available_governors II. Try to set /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor to conservative, result is CPU clockrate is always at highest, never slows down III. Try add gnome frequency monitor to the gnome panel and select frequency manually. Result: I can click the applet but no menu pops up. On other friends' intel CPU based notebooks there is a menu following click on the applet. IV. I tried to google around and found on this post: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.os.linux.hardware/2006-01/msg002… suggesting me running a daemon called 'cpufreqd' which could not be found on packman or opensuse official repository. V. My friend who runs debian suggest me install cpufrequtils and start /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils which I did, but I found in opensuse the package does not include an init script. VI. cry to opensuse mailing list for help. which is what I am trying now. Using OpenSUSE 11 on iBook G4.

[opensuse] KDE4 10.3 or 11.1
by michael norman 04 Jul '09

04 Jul '09

Hi I have tried installing KDE4 on both 10.3 and 11.1 (both 64 bit)) On 11.1 any version I try to install from here http://en.opensuse.org/KDE4#KDE_4.2_Project using one click leads to a whole list of dependencies that I cannot work out how to solve. On10.3 from the same link I have successfully installed KDE 4.3 via one click with no problems. I do not understand why this should be. I'm quite happy with 10.3 on my main box as it works particularly with RealPlayer which does not play nicely with 11.1, and is an essential app for me basically for BBC Radio. However much I've tried I.ve never got RealPlayer to work on 11.1 to the extent that I can (as I do with 10.3) stream the programmes and record the with Audacity. I have posted about this before but never received a response. I have another box currently on 11.1 where RealPlayer is not an issue. what I would like to do is update KDE4 on that box to the latest version. I have tried the same method from one click and end up with the same dependency problems. I have tried to follow the threads about KDE4 on this list but they seem to end up down a number of blind alleys. So could somebody suggest to me how to upgrade KDE4 on my other box. It has a fresh install of 11.1 with KDE4 12 and KDE 3.5.10. TIA Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] How to create a dual-boot

We tried exactly what you described. It is true that the repairing feature cleaned up most of our mistakes. Unluvkily, not all of them, though! In fact, the best result w could get is to have both OS choice appearing on rebooting te system. SuSE is the default one and starts out fine. But if Windiws is selected then Windows never starts. Actually, if Windows is selected then it loops endlessly on the OS choice. We are stuck here. Can please anyone help us out ?

[opensuse] KDE4.3 RC1, opensuse 11.1 -YaST
by ianseeks 04 Jul '09

04 Jul '09

Hi Folks Does anyone know if you can get Yast to easily re-detect your monitor? I am looking for a button that says "auto-detect", does it exist? Or is there a way to delete the current config so it decides to auto detect on its own? I'm using GEforce 5500 board with a Nvidia drivers and its X Server Setting program picks up the correct monitor details (ASUS VW198) but thats not in Yast's database. thanks Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is there allready a PostgreSQL 8.4 binary for OpenSUSE 11.1 ?
by Andreas 04 Jul '09

04 Jul '09

Hi, I'm looking for a PostgreSQL 8.4 binary that's suppoted in the OpenSUSE 11.1 update service. I'd rather not build it myself because the server doesn't contain all the compiler gadgets. Packet search shows still 8.3.7 but maybe there is another location to look? regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ftp download problem
by lynn 04 Jul '09

04 Jul '09

Hi everyone. I've a CMS which has a zero length index.html file in each folder. When downloading the CMS for backup purposes, Konqueror will not download the index.html files and I have to choose 'auto skip' to proceed. I've also tried gftp but it segfaults. My question is, does anyone know a way of being able to download the entire CMS without having to auto skip the index.html files and without the command line?
