[opensuse] kde4 3.5 - use of mc on remote host kills mouse-click input
by David C. Rankin 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

Guys, Will, Sven, KDE 3.5.2. I opened konsole and used ssh to connect to my backup office server (suse 10.3) and needed to run mc to move several directories around before a backup. The only apps running were an xterm, konsole and compiz. Once mc started, strangely, it was grabbing focus from the mouse where the mouse would highlight the files/directories and would automatically open the menus on mouseover. A mouse-click did nothing, but everywhere the mouse moved, mc lit up and focus jumped from file-to-file, etc. That in itself was very frustrating. Every time you moved the mouse to do anything (like try and get to another window) the mc interface would try and follow the mouse, sequentially focusing every file or popping open every menu along the mouse path. The problem however is when mc grabbed the mouse (mouse events, whatever you call it) mouse input in plasma was disabled or crashed. With mc on the remote server still active, I could still move the mouse around in kde4, but that was it. There was no way to change focus between windows with the mouse, you could not grab the window any move it, the plasma panel would not unhide and clicking the mouse did nothing. Shutting down mc while konsole was still open made no difference. I could move the mouse, but it didn't do anything except move across the screen. No way to raise the panel or focus or move any other window, etc... At this point, the only way to interact with kde4 was through the keyboard (tab, alt-tab, alt-f2, and alt-menu accel keys). Clicking on anything had no effect. Shutting down konsole (where mc was connected to the 10.3 box) restored the ability to raise the panel and use the mouse to focus windows and focus menus, buttons (on open applications), etc.., but you could not open the start menu, activate or do anything with the mouse clicks. It looked like plasma was just ignoring all clicks or whatever reads mouse clicks had crashed. The only way to open thunderbird and write this email was 'alt+f2 thunderbird' Obviously, I need to be able to use mc on remote hosts though konsole on kde4. However, with this behavior, no only is mc unusable, the entire desktop becomes unusable. Is there some setting somewhere in kde4 I can set that tells kde4 not to try and process mouse events in konsole when I launch mc? From working trough this issue, it looks like as soon as kde4 tried to provide mouse input to mc, mouse input to the rest of kde4 broke. What else can I provide to help here? I really need to get mc usable for remote hosts in kde4. I'm kind of shocked that it doesn't just work and I don't know enough about kde4 to know where any setting relevant to this issue might live. Thanks. P.S. during the 5-10 minutes it took to write the e-mail, mouse-clicks have began to work again. That's a positive sign, but I can't have the mouse drop out for 5-10 minutes every time I open mc on a remote host. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Major Bug 11.3 - gnibbles is broken...
by David C. Rankin 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

Guys, Can somebody confirm whether gnibbles is working on their 11.3 box. My 8 year old wanted "that snake game" and launched gnibbles and it just stayed at the intro screen. It looks like it is actually running behind the intro screen, but it isn't drawing the game. (you can see the worm scores changing). If it works for you, let me know. If not, I'll file the bug report. Lord knows we can't live without a working gnibbles :p -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] KDE factory
by Christoph Walzer 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

Hi, i'm not sure wether this is the right place to post. Seems the KDE factory repository for 11.1 (that is http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE%3aDistro%3aFactory/openSUSE_1…) is broken for two days or so. Namely libstrigi-0.7.3-41.2-x86_64 does not provide libstreamanalyzer.so.0()(64bit), which affects dozens of other packages (no update possible). Another broken thing is phonon-4.4.3-52.1-x86_64: "nothing provides phonon-backend >=4.4.3 needed by phonon-4-4-3-52.1.x86_64". Appropriate backend packages are missing. Did i miss something?

[opensuse] BASH - shorter way to isolate PID and process name from 'ps ax'?
by David C. Rankin 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

Bash gurus, I need a sanity check on my approach to just getting the PID and process name from 'ps ax'. I have a way that works well, but I think I've done it the long way. What is the simplest way to do this? I've thought about cut and the other small string chopping routines, but I've ended up just using substring extraction and substring removal to chop the pieces out of the lines I want. Here is what I've got. There are 2 snippets below. One where I just read the 'ps ax' output, and a second where I save that information in an array just in case that ends up working out better with later tests, etc...: ## basic function to trim whitespace from each end of string ## dunno who I got this from, but it is great... trimWS() { [[ -z $1 ]] && return 1 strln="${#1}" [[ strln -lt 2 ]] && return 1 trimSTR=$1 trimSTR="${trimSTR#"${trimSTR%%[![:space:]]*}"}" # remove leading whitespace characters trimSTR="${trimSTR%"${trimSTR##*[![:space:]]}"}" # remove trailing whitespace characters echo $trimSTR return 0 } ## set the internal field separator to only break on newlines OIFS=$IFS IFS=$'\n' ## initialize variables and array to hold process information psearch="$1" let count=0 declare -a parray parray=( $(ps ax | grep -v "grep\|${0##*/}" | grep ${psearch}) ) ## read matching process names from ps ax w/o the array for i in $(ps ax | grep -v "grep\|${0##*/}" | grep ${psearch}); do ppid=$(trimWS ${i:0:5}) pname=${i#*:} pname=${pname:3} echo "[$count] - ppid: $ppid pname: $pname" (( count += 1)) done ## test the array (just in case I want it for later use) for ((j=0;j<${#parray[@]};j++)); do tmp=${parray[$j]} ppid=$(trimWS ${tmp:0:5}) pname=${tmp#*:} pname=${pname:3} echo "j: $j - ppid: $ppid pname: $pname" done Both reading directly from 'ps ax' and storing the information in an array and processing it work fine. The main intent was to handle the 1-5 digit integer PID which is what drove this approach. (though in later thought, I guess it doesn't matter. If I'm just going to call kill with the PID, I could just pass the 5 character string to it and not worry about trimming the whitespace...) All of this seems like the long way to get the PID and process from 'ps ax' output, but it is what I know. So what say the experts? Is there an easier/shorter way to skin this cat? -- David C.

[opensuse] kmail stopper working after transferring mail
by constant＠indo.net.id 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

When I start kmail after the latest update I get following information:KMail encountered a fatal error and will terminate now. The error was: You do not have read/write permission to your inbox folder. This happened after I got a little screen which informed me that there was some mail/ gmail data transfer. Do not know how I could get back a functioning KMail. Looked at the kmail inbox but there i do have rw permission. Perhaps the reason could be found in the fact that I have kmail symlinked to an separate MAIL file name in my /home/.This would let me use the kmail with other suse versions. Did this transfer write something different down or does it not read symlinks? ___________________________________________________________ indomail - Your everyday mail - http://indomail.indo.net.id -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
