(If you don't remove the autostart file, nepomuk just launches another process) Then to change whether strigi is configured to run or not, I just use kde system settings and make changes to the nepomuk semantic desktop and strigi desktop file indexer settings under: system settings -> Advanced User Settings -> Desktop Search (Basic Settings Tab) Then to restart nepomuk and test the new settings, I just restore the autostart file: # cp /root/tmp/nepomukserver.desktop /usr/share/autostart/ and log out and back in. The Basic Settings Tab has a status line for strigi that shows when the desktop file indexer is active/idle. None of the problems I have had are from a run-away strigi (as shown when nepomuk grabs all the cpu and strigi isn't even enabled). Nepomuk itself is mucked up. The problem seems worse in the official release of 4.3. Currently I only have the official release on archlinux, but prior to the official release, I had never experienced a run-away nepomuk on arch before -- only on opensuse. Now it looks like a problem affecting all distros. Hopefully, 4.3 will be packaged for opensuse today or tomorrow so we can confirm this. When nepomuk does go wild, there is no mistake. Desktop performance goes south and the palm rest on my laptop feels like a frying pan. As for beagle - the dreaded dog is nowhere to be found on my box. (aside from the mozilla lib) -- David C.

[opensuse] nvidia GeForce 9400 GT does not work in opensuse 11.1
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

People, I had an nvidia GeForce 8400 that worked perfectly in this opensuse 11.1 box. However, the video card failed and was replaced by an GeForce 9400 GT, which seems not to work with opensuse 11.1's X server (?!). sax2 detects the new card as VESA Framebuffer and gives me 1280x1024 resolution only (should be 1680x1050) and veeeeery slow graphics. If I force it to generate a xorg.conf file which loads the appropriate driver ("sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia" or "sax2 -r -m 0=nv"), X aborts while loading. The "nvidia" driver was installed from nvidia's opensuse repository (http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.1). I have installed Fedora 11 in this machine to test the card and it works perfectly well with Fedora, but I'd rather stay with opensuse. Is there a way to make this card work with opensuse? I have the following packages installed: kernel-pae-2.6.27.25-0.1.1 kernel-pae-base-2.6.27.25-0.1.1 kernel-pae-extra-2.6.27.25-0.1.1 xorg-x11-7.4-8.19.1 xorg-x11-server-7.4-17.6.1 xorg-x11-driver-video-7.4-19.8.2 nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-pae-185.18.14_2.6.27.23_0.1-2.2 Thanks, Marcelo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Conexant audio playback does not work
by George Olson 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Greetings to all, When my computer boots up, I get the following error in a box on the top of my computer before it disappears: phonon the audio playback device HDA Intel (CONEXANT Analog) does not work. falling back to HDA Intel (STAC92xx analog). Then whenever I get email, I get a system beep, and because it is not through the regular speakers, it cannot be muted. I don't know if that is a related problem or not, but I would like to get the system beep to stop beeping. I did try running Amarok audio player and my mp3 files seem to play ok. Can someone tell me how to get the proper audio system working? Thanks George Olson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] HOW TO ENABLE A USER TO DOWNLOAD A HUGE FILE FROM MY LAPTOP
by Maura Monville 05 Aug '09

I did not mean to shout. I just had the caps lock key on ... by chance. Well, the user tryed to download the big file through ftp. That's what he said. But the connection was immediately closed by the host that I think is my laptop (where the big file resides). I do not know how to enable him to use ftp or ssh or any other protocol you may advice. He has all acces rights to the project directory. Thanks for your help, Maura --- Lun 3/8/09, Carlos E. R. <robin.listas(a)telefonica.net> ha scritto: > Da: Carlos E.

[opensuse] nepomukfromhell - 99% of CPU
by David C. Rankin 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

List, I had removed /usr/share/autostart/nempmuk..desktop for the specific reason of preventing that Beagle like application from starting. After a couple of hours, my machine is brought to its knees. I knew what the problem was before I even ran killall $(ps ax | grep nepomuk), and sure enough the beast was back. I rechecked /usr/share/autostart/ and there was no nepomuk. How in the heck did it start on its own after I had removed the autostart entry and after I had rebooted without it present?? To see how nepomuk cripples a systems, see: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/nepomuk-… http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/nepomuk-… -- David C.

[opensuse] SLES11 chroot Java application
by Simon Loewenthal - Tele2 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Dear all, I am looking for the right way to configure chroot goals on SLES 11 for an application. I have seen a few guides for various O/Ses for chrooting SSH/FTP/BIND/Apache and so on, but the application I have is a java app. The server (which runs an http port on a few unpriveledged ports) is based on Java and is already self-contained through the Java sandbox. All processes run as an unprivileged user. 'I think that the application contains all necessary jars and its own Java runtime environment', said the manufactured. About twice in the past have I set-up chroot and really have little knowledge. I imagine that I would have to copy over any dynamically linked libraries that any of the application uses, but its Java so I am unsure what happens here. How would I go about this?

[opensuse] kde 4.3-0.1 is out - Little difference from rc3
by David C. Rankin 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Listmates, kde 4.3-0.1 is out in, from what I can tell, the same shape as 4.3 rc3. Runs fine. Doesn't look like many bugs were fixed for the actual release. konqueror --filemanagement still can't restore the places window correctly, F8 doesn't toggle hidden files unless focus is manually placed in the file selection pane of the open/save dialogs, you still have to hit the little icon in detailed view to set focus without launching the app, and all the other annoyances etc., etc. were not fixed. That being said, there are only a handful of kde3 apps I still use (basket, konqueror, quanta, kpdf, etc.) but otherwise kde 4.3 is fine. Remember, the bugs won't get fixed if they are not reported. So, when you find 'em, write 'em... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Your answer is still incomplete. Ok, lets assume you created a Linux account, which means that your intention is to use ssh and scp. For this to work you need to enable the ssh server: install "openssh" in Yast, enable the ssh port in the firewall, run "chkconfig sshd on" and "rcsshd start". Maybe there is an entry to do this in Yast in one click, I don't remember - a year ago ssh was installed and enabled by default. Check that you can log in to your own computer, locally, and then remotely. Once this works, create a new account for your friend/colleague, and tell him to use an scp client (if he uses windows, there is one in the putty suite (winscp419.exe or winscp419setup.exe) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winscp http://winscp.net/eng/docs/faq http://sourceforge.net/projects/winscp/ Don't forget to put the files in his home directory or one he can read. If he uses Linux, then he can use scp, mc, konqueror (fish://...), etc. Instructions in the respective man pages. If you want to use FTP, start by installing the Yast module for ftp server administration, then run it. Samba? Same thing. Questions or problems? Ask somebody else, not me. >:-) NFS?

[opensuse] HOW TO ENABLE A USER TO DOWNLOAD A HUGE FILE FROM MY LAPTOP
by Maura Monville 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

I created a login for a member of the project group on my laptop running SuSE 11.1 I gave him full access to my /home directory that contains the project directory. I gave him the IP address of m laptop. He tried to download a huge file for backup through ftp but the connection was closed by the host ... that I think is my laptop ... How can I enable him to download files from the directory pertinent to our shared project ? Using Yast I noticed ftp client is not installed. But in this case I need ftp server that I cannot find ... maybe I am mistaken ?
