[opensuse] Is anybody successfully using mpd with openSUSE?
by Bob Williams 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Hi, I'm trying to get mpd (Music Player Daemon) running locally. I've installed it from the packman repo, and edited the config file, but it refuses to write the music database, even though it does write to its logfile. My ~/.mpdconf contains the following lines (I've edited out all the commented out lines): music_directory "/home/bob/music" playlist_directory "/home/bob/.mpd/playlists" db_file "/home/bob/.mpd/database/mpd.db" log_file "/home/bob/.mpd/mpd.log" pid_file "/home/bob/.mpd/pid" state_file "/home/bob/.mpd/state" user "bob" port "6600" log_level "default" gapless_mp3_playback "yes" metadata_to_use "artist,album,title,track,name,genre,date,composer,performer,disc" default_permissions "read,add,control,admin" # The log file grows every time I issue ~> mpd --create-db, and contains lines such as Nov 18 23:04 : update: added Lou Rhodes/2007 Bloom/03 Icarus.flac Nov 18 23:04 : update: added Lou Rhodes/2007 Bloom/05 All We Are.flac Nov 18 23:04 : update: added Lou Rhodes/2007 Bloom/02 Greatness In a Speck Of dust.flac Nov 18 23:04 : update: added Lou Rhodes/2007 Bloom/10 Bloom.flac Nov 18 23:04 : update: added Thelonius Monk/Thelonius Monk & Sonny Rollins/05 Friday The 13Th.FLAC Nov 18 23:04 : update: added Thelonius Monk/Thelonius Monk & Sonny Rollins/01 The Way You Look Tonight.FLAC Nov 18 23:04 : update: added Thelonius Monk/Thelonius Monk & Sonny Rollins/04 Nutty.FLAC so it would appear to be able to access my music collection, although it can't write its database file. Setting the log_level variable to "verbose" doesn't give any more information :( All the directories are owned by bob.

[opensuse] setting locale in openSUSE / KDE
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

When I want to switch to a new locale, I need to make multiple changes: 1. Select the locale in KDE (Configure Desktop -> Locale). This results on all KDE using that locale. But that is not enough to make everything use the new locale. 2. Add LANG=whatever to my .bashrc file. As an example, if I do step 1, the openOffice ICON is in the language of the KDE locale. However, openOffice itself fill not be in that locale unless I do step 2. This applies to all non-KDE applications. The 'locale' command in a Konsole, for example, does not reflect the KDE setting done in step 1. It will be correct only if I do step 2. The editing of .bashrc seems the odd step. Am I missing something? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

Re: [opensuse] Poor routing performance OpenSUSE 11.3

However, as I mentioned in a later note, I resolved the problem by setting the MTU to 1500. I don't know why that should make a difference as, according to ifconfig, it already was by default. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] cupsd settings
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Hi, I'm trying to print to a remote cups server. The setup should be correct already with one issue left. The printer is always broadcasted with the hostname instead of the ip address of the print server. This hostname cannot get resolved in this network (I know it's bad but no way to change that). All documentation I've found says that I need to set "ServerName" in cupsd.conf to the ip address. But this doesn't work. It's still broadcasting the hostname as part of the printer uri. This is openSUSE 11.3 with cups 1.4.4. Any pointers? Thanks, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Open Office Writer spell checker
by Fr David Ousley 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

After the most recent "zypper up" I've lost the spell checker in Open Office Writer. It is is now version 3.2.1.6-1.1-x68_64, build 9502. The splash the comes up is the Sun one, not the Suse one. The manual checker never finds anything, and the automatic one never underlines anything. It is turned on. The underlining works with (e.g.) the email composer in Opera. Anyone else have the problem, and perhaps a solution? 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] 11.3 on EEE PC 901 with LiveUSB
by Myrosia Dzikovska 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

I wanted to try OpenSuse 11.3 on my Asus EEE pc 901 by booting from a live usb stick. But ASUS refuses to recognize the stick on boot. Once it boots up, it can see the stick, but it does not show up as an option in the boot menu. The stick itself is fine. I used it on another laptop, and it boots quite happily. It's 4G, divided into two partition. The first partition is marked as bootable. I created the stick from the LiveCD iso image using the imagewriter, as suggested on the Wiki. Various threads on EEE PC user forum suggest that 701 and 901 may not recognize bootable USB sticks unless they are formatted as FAT16 or FAT32. FDisk says that the first (bootable) partition on the stick is iso9660. Assuming that the problem is indeed the file system type, is there a way to convert that liveUSB filesystem to fat32? Or has anyone else succeeded in booting the LiveUSB? I don't have an external CD drive, so unless I find a way to boot from it, I cannot install opensuse.
