[opensuse] cups printer shared through broadcast problem
by Zhang Weiwu 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hello. I experience this problem for a year or so. e.g. server 192.168.1.2 shares a printer called Inkjet through broadcast, all clients, Mac OS, Ubuntu and OpenSUSE automatically add this printer when cups on these hosts started. After several weeks, Linux clients (not Mac OS) start to have two printers, one "Inkjet" as usual and another additional "Inkjet(a)192.168.1.2". The former doesn't work, the latter works. To solve this problem on the Ubuntu client I had to stop its cups service and as root remove /var/cache/cups/remote.cache and re-start cups. Then it should now have only one printer "Inkjet" which is working. For OpenSUSE 11 I don't know how to solve it because there isn't /var/cache/cups/remote.cache. Question: 1) how do I fix opensuse clients? 2) is there a way to solve this problem completely, e.g. after weeks there should be no additional "Inkjet(a)192.168.1.2" and the old setting should work. 3) what keyword to google for answer to 2? I couldn't figure it myself. Thanks in advance Best regards Zhang Weiwu -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] mpi
by Sampsa Riikonen 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Dear List, Any MPI administrators and/or gurus reading this list? I am trying to compile an mpi program library in opensuse 11.2. (http://trilinos.sandia.gov/packages/pytrilinos/) First of all, I have to configure that program package, by defining explicitly all mpi directories because, as it seems, in opensuse these are not in standard locations.. I have to do something like this: ./configure --prefix=/home/sampsa/trilinos/trilinos-9.0.3/linux_mpi --enable-mpi --with-mpi-compilers=/opt/mpich/ch-p4/bin --with-mpi-libdir=opt/mpich/ch-p4/lib --with-mpi-incdir=/opt/mpich/ch-p4/include --enable-pytrilinos Interestinly, if I type man mpi I get advices, such as.. "Add MPI to your path % set path = ( $path /usr/local/mpi/bin )" But the directory "/usr/local/mpi" does not exist in my distro (although both mpich and openmpi have been installed). But back to the point.. when I launch the configure script of pytrilinos, I get this kind of messages.. "checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no checking whether /opt/mpich/ch-p4/bin/mpicxx accepts -g... no" Then when I run manually sampsa@linux-912g:~/trilinos/trilinos-9.0.3/linux_mpi> /opt/mpich/ch-p4/bin/mpicxx /opt/mpich/ch-p4/bin/mpicxx: line 410: g++: command not found So it seems that the mpi installation in opensuse is quite hosed, to say the least. Any ideas how to configure mpi properly? Regards, Sampsa -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I tried it all as well, but the darn HPLIP installation from source all worked; then refused with: hp-setup error: HPMUDEXT could not be loaded. Please check HPLIP installation. But I just did configure, make clan, make and make install! I de-installed all HP stuff and the printers, and rebooted (Windows style he-he). Thereafter I used "system-config-printer 1.0.8" to install the printers. Now all is fine again without HPLIP and the standard PPD files for "HP LaserJet 5M Postscript (recommended)" JetDirect & "HP Deskjet F4100 series" USB. I never liked HP software, even in my windoze days, especially since the first all-in-one devices came out. The Linux all-in-one software seems to be much better lately. Just do not allow HP software on the system. It cost me a few hours, then I managed to wipe it all and use only what comes with openSUSE. :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenSuSE+bounces PROBLEM IN OpenSuSE list
by Carl Spitzer 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

According to the maintainers of MyRealBox the problem with the munging of senders addresses on this list into OpenSuSE+bounces is coming from the OpenSuSE list software. To whom do I write to correct this long standing problem. ? CWSIV -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Jeff Dalby I received your voicemail. I looked at this again but the address you are seeing is the address that is being given to us by the remote system. You'll see that multiple times in the header as well (our software doesn't touch the existing header info). Feel free to send me on some new headers but so far everything points to a problem on the remote side.

[opensuse] OOSuSE bug
by Lívio Cipriano 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi all, OO SuSE version has a interesting bug when exporting Writer documents with formulas to PDF: doesn't write with the same font (Times Roman) all or part of the digits of a number and the bug seams to be random, some times does it some times not. The original OO, downloaded from openoffice.org, doesn't have this bug. Any ideas, or really a bug? -- Regards, Lívio Cipriano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Lost sound in KDE 4.3.1 release 163
by Bob Williams 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi, Since rebooting my computer this afternoon, I have lost sound. Normally, I open Kmix, to find the the master volume has been muted, but Kmix won't start now, just the bouncing icon. Doing kmix on a command line does nothing. The soundcard produces test noises in the Yast sound module. Any suggestions?
