[opensuse] Why does man gpg talk about gpg2, not gpg?
by Greg Freemyer 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

opensuse 11.3 I do man gpg2 and it advises I use gpg for embedded applications which is what I want. So I do man gpg and I get the same man page. :( (actually I want to have gpg in a command-line pipe, not embedded but either way it would be nice to read the gpg man page) Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Automatic updates
by Stan Goodman 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

For the first few days after I installed v11.3, there were momentary popup notifications that new updates were ready. Unlike the drill under kde3, I was not asked to confirm. I have no way to know whether the updates were executed or not, but I doubt it. I am sure (or rather, I hope) that the system s not intentionally keeping me n the dark, so presumably something is wrong. Does this sound like I omitted something I was supposed to do? Is it a recognizablefault somewhere? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Ctl+Alt+F2
by Fr David Ousley 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

From time to time while I am in KDE (with various things running) I accidentally hit Ctl+Alt+F2 (stems from confusion from the difference between Gnome and KDE for switching desktops). which brings up a character login. What's the easiest way to get back to KDE? I'm hoping there's something better than logging in at the character prompt, and shutting down the system and starting over. Running Opensuse 11.2, KDE 4.5.1 Thanks. -- Fr David Ousley davidousley(a)verizon.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kde won't accept my password
by Bob Rea 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

I was trying to get my cd and dvd drive to work, tried a new cable as set up showed not using 80 connector cable. Changed cable,moved drive, new cable not good, drives did not appear, put back old cable that at least gave an error accept my password then it had trouble starting but finally got to kde login, now won't accept my password. What can I do about that? Can't upgrade til I have working dvd or cd drive, which was the point of the exercise. -- Bob Rea gapetard(a)stsams.org www.petard.us -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] HP DL380G6 and OpenSuSE 11.3 64Bit
by Claudio Prono 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

Hello all, After the installation of OpenSuSE 11.3 64Bit i noticed a strange problem with an HP DL380G6. The system, after Grub, when says "activating udev", freezes completely, with a black screen. To make it work i have got to boot into Safe Mode, and add the parameter "nomodeset". Now my kernel line in grub is this: title Desktop -- openSUSE 11.3 - 2.6.34.7-0.3 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop root=/dev/disk/by-id/cciss-3600508b1001037383941424344450300-part1 nomodeset vga=0x317 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop And the system boots normally. But, what is that parameter? I have searched for it but found poor information. And, that parameter can have some negative effects for the stability of the system?

[opensuse] multimedia repository chaos
by Dave Howorth 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

I spent a miserable few hours over the weekend trying to get an 11.2 box play multimedia. After I realized why I couldn't play anything I discovered <http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_formats/11.2> and clicked on the "codecs-gnome.ymp" link. After that some things started working but others didn't, so I looked at the troubleshooting section. I removed totem with no problem but when I asked it to remove gstreamer it removed lots of things including openoffice and evolution for example before I aborted it. I reenabled the other repositories and appear to have successfully reinstalled the things it deleted but of course my multimedia still doesn't work. When I have just packman and libdvdcss enabled, I can see that there are upgrades available for gstreamer but when I try to apply them, many won't because of broken dependencies on packages that I guess are in the standard repositories. But if I reenable the standard repositories, it no longer offers me the upgrades. Is there some way to tell YaST to do the upgrades? Thanks, Dave PS I wanted to add a note to the troubleshooting section of <http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_formats/11.2> warning about the possibility of damaging your system by following those instructions. But apparently I can't do that without creating yet another online persona - my novell persona soesn't seem to be good enough for example. Is there some way around that? I'm no longer willing to create new identities for every website I visit. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KRDC to RealVNC4 Working?

I have a RealVNC machine that I can connect to via vncviewer (TightVNC Viewer version 1.3.9) but I can't connect to the same machine with KRDC. Version 4.5.1 (KDE 4.5.1) I have KRDC set with the vnc plugin turned on. Lauched from the command line KRDC says: krdc(13324)/kdeui (kdelibs): Attempt to use QAction "remote_desktop_dockwidget" with KXMLGUIFactory! krdc(13324): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Error loading 'krdc '%u''.

[opensuse] running program on remote computer
by Fr David Ousley 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

I want to run KMyMoney on a remote computer. The files reside on a laptop, and I want to be able to edit them from my desktop. Both are running Opensuse 11.2, and both are on the same local network; both have KMyMoney installed. What is the easiest way of doing this? And do I need to worry about overwriting changes if KMyMoney is open on both machines at the same time? I hope this is an easy answer question.

[opensuse] Problems downloading 11.3
by Paul Ollion 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Hello SuSE people I have been trying to download theopenSuse 11.3 iso for three days and every time it stops prematurely. I successively tried the SuSE repository, then a french one (much slower) and I am stuck at my secont attempt from http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/opensuse/distribution/11.3/iso/openSUSE-1… -DVD-i586.iso (de, prio 130) Which appears to be the fastest : 14 hours 27' only ! ! in my case. The iso should be 4 Go and I have only 3.7 Go ( 3,961,190,992 Bytes exactly). It is y best success until now, but I suppose it is not complete and cannot be used as is. I am using Firefox 3.6.10 with OpenSuse 11.2. Is there a way of completing the unfinished download ? It would be the best solution considering the time it takes. Or should I download it with another browser such as Konqueror ? Or is there a better repository available from France ?
