[opensuse] Evolution logs
by Mike McMullin 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

I want to have a look at Evolutions logs to see what is causing a problem, that of "storing" folders, as well as the occassional error getting e-mail, Errors are as follows: !(in red triangle) Error while storing folder 'Inbox'. !(in red triangle)Error while Fectching Mail. I know that I am getting my e-mail for the main account (set as default), and the secondary account is polled only because this is how my ISP informs me of my bandwidth usage. [1] Mike [1] I changed ISP, but several users including myself use this account for mailing lists, so I maintain the account for the sake of not having to deal with their inability to close out and activate new accounts.

[opensuse] Reinstall of 11.1 troubles
by Marc Chamberlin 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Hello - I seem to have gotten myself in a mess with SuSE 11.1 and need a bit of guidance. After I got some updates, my system crashed and failed to start up after that, with lots of complaints about problems with the iptables. I was unable to capture any of the specific details and had no idea on how to fix it, so decided to try in reinstall SuSE11.1 from my installation CD. To be on the safe side, and not corrupt any of my data in my home directory, or on my mounted partitions, I decided to do an update instead of a full reinstall. That much as restored my system to a working state BUT with some issues that I don't know how to resolve. First issue, which is disconcerting and probably will require a LOT of effort for me to try and recover is that ALL of the repositories I had set up seem to have disappeared. When the SuSE installation software was setting things up, did it bother to make a backup of the repositories I had already set up? If so, how can I restore them? Second, and more serious issue. The display has come up in a low resolution mode and I am installing this using a 1080x1200 monitor. This means that all of the Windows are oversize and the fonts are very large. What this does is that it makes it impossible for me to use Yast or Sax to reconfigure my display. All of the necessary buttons to Accept settings are off screen and these tools do not supply a scroll bar in order for me to bring these buttons on screen. I cannot resize the windows either as they are limited by the desktop size, so even at maximum size the buttons are still off screen. It is sad that these tools apparently have not been well tested/designed! Good engineering and use case studies ought to have caught such a user trap. That said, how do I set up my display if I am unable to use the tools that were designed for that task? Do I have to go and figure out how to access low level settings and become a guru on how YaST and Sax actually work? Not a very user friendly solution but I guess if I must, I will if someone will provide me with some good pointers...

Guys, For some reason I can't get Pandora to work in Firefox or Opera. I know flash is working, because youtube and several other sites work just fine. So I was wondering if there a third party app that would me log into Pandora? -- ---------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

[opensuse] Keyboard layout editor (SaX2) doesn't save new xorg.conf file
by Theo van Werkhoven 06 Sep '09

06 Sep '09

Hi all, openSUSE version 11.1, nothing out of the ordinary wrt hardware or software. sax2-8.1-542.11.1 xkeyboard-config-1.3-32.31.7 Because I bought a new keyboard I wanted to make his known to xorg. So I fired up the keyboard layout editor via yast2 (yes, of course with root's permissions), and made the necessary changes Type: Logitec Access Layout: us variant: euro Together with some options for the Euro symbol. When I saved the file I indeed had the Euro under right-Alt-5, so I thought I was set, but when I restarted X this was no longer the case. Investigation of /etc/X11/xorg.conf showed that the file had been saved with a new mtime, but the old XkbModel was still 'microsoftpro' without any Euro options, as before the changes in keyboard layout editor. Repeating the attempts to change the file through sax2 just confirmed this behaviour. I seems that a 'setxkbmap' command with the correct -model and -options had been issued, but no altered xorg.cong file was generated. This is what the SaX2 log tells me: $cat /var/log/SaX.log /************* SaX2 log : SaX2 version 8.1 - SVN Release: 1.49 2003/03/17 ************** SVN RELEASE : 1870 : DESCRIPTION : X11 configuration log file to collect information : about detection, startup and configuration. : There are three parts of logging: : --- : 1) INIT ( detection, 3D ) : 2) STARTUP ( xorg.conf, X11 log, glxinfo ) : 3) CONFIG ( config actions ) : --- : VERSION : SaX2 compiled for: [OTHER] PARAMETER : -O Keyboard : LOG DATE : Mon Sep 7 00:31:14 CEST 2009 *************/ ============================ Framebuffer Info: ---------------------------- Framebuffer is active 07-Sep 00:31:16 <X> Startup... 07-Sep 00:31:16 <X> [ Startup on already running Server: :0.0 -> grant ] 07-Sep 00:31:16 Checksum of installed configuration is invalid ! 07-Sep 00:31:17 Imported: Card 07-Sep 00:31:17 Imported: Desktop 07-Sep 00:31:17 Imported: Pointers 07-Sep 00:31:18 Imported: Keyboard 07-Sep 00:31:18 Imported: Layout 07-Sep 00:31:18 Imported: Path 07-Sep 00:31:18 Imported: Extensions QPainter::begin: Widget painting can only begin as a result of a paintEvent 07-Sep 00:31:23 <W> SCCKeyboardOptions::Warning: unknown XKB key: CapsLock uses internal capitalization.

Specially the first line about the checksum looks suspicious of course, could that be a hint? */ Anyhow, making the changes to the xorg.conf file manually did what the keyboard layout editor was supposed to do for me, although I had to do some serious digging in /usr/share/X11/kbd/ to find the right name for 'XkbModel', not to mention the right syntax for 'XkbOptions'. Still, why the xorg.conf file isn't generated I can't understand, and the fact that nothing useful appears in the log file doesn't help much.. I can't really imagine this to be a bug, because surely this would've been noticed by other users long before, so it must be something to do with my set-up. Anyone know what could be going one? It's not a problem, now that I know, but a correctly working systems is prefered of course.
