[opensuse] kde4: 1.6G nepomuk/ (any way to limit this?)
by David C. Rankin 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Guys Wondering why my .kde4 directory had ballooned to 2.7G, I did a du -hs on share/apps and noticed that nepomuk was eating 1.6G of space. I never use this thing and to my understanding it is still an application looking for a use. Yes, it is supposedly some generic metadata handler/index thing. So far I've never found a use for it. However, I'm concerned that it is one of those things that is integrated into everything like windows explorer and I don't know if I can just turn it off without further destabilizing kde4. If I can turn it off, how do you do it? If I can't, then how can I tell it to only use 50M or so? 1.6G is just nuts. I suspect many of you have much larger indexes. Has anyone looked to tone this thing down and keep the index size smaller? All ideas are welcome. (even the -- it's just like beagle -- kill it) approach would be fine. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Amavisd hostname problem.
by Oddball 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Hi, I have googled around about this, and found many people who had the same problem. I have tried all those solutions, but none works here with me... > Starting amavisd... The value of variable $myhostname is > "whateverisfilledinfails", but should have been > a fully qualified domain name; perhaps uname(3) did not provide such. > You must explicitly assign a FQDN of this host to variable $myhostname > in amavisd.conf, or fix what uname(3) provides as a host's network name! Is the message i get. i use serverversion 11.2, and tried every example listed when people solved their issues. /etc/amavisd.conf Anybody with same problem that solved it please tell me, or don't tell me... ;-) regards, Rob. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.)

[opensuse] After changing from DHCP to Fixed IP-Address, no more login to repos oS.
by Oddball 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Hi, After i changed the Dynamic address to a fixed one, it was not longer possible to log in to the opensuse download repos. Is there something i can do about that? regards, Rob. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)

[opensuse] upgrading 11.4
by Bob S 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Hello SuSE people, Trying to upgrade 11.4 from the command line with a zypper up. It goes through the whole routine of what it is going to do and then brings up the license agreement and stops. I can scroll to the end but I can't agree to it because it never gets that far. Anybody can tell me what is happening here?

[opensuse] dolphin and fish://
by Per Jessen 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

It looks I'd better be getting used to working with dolphin, so I'm getting started: in Konqueror, I would just type in a fish:// uri etc. - how do I do the same in dolphin? I tried Network->Network Services->hostname, but nothing happened. By this time I had an input field beginning with zeroconf: so I just typed fish://etcetera over it, which worked, but how _should_ I be doing this? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-2.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I don't know how I can express myself better than repeating it: My comment was not about the possibility of implementation, or if it is a critial component, or the availability of features. It was about ease of integration and maintenance for the Windows IT admins. It was an attempt to give a probable answer to Anton's question why the Windows admins use the AD-integrated DHCP server instead of a Linux one. But I don't seem to get through with my comment, so I'll stop here. Joachim PS: I concur with your comments about Samba and AD that I have deleted. But they weren't the topic I wrote about. I was concerned with IT admins -- you know, human beings :-) -- and their work, not with technology. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod(a)acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.3 kernel
by Bob S 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Hello SuSE people, Guess I haven't been paying attention. Has there been a kernel update for 11.3 since it came out? Right now I am running 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop. I am not happy about the performance opf 11.3 right now. I've read in several threads that people have upgraded the kernel to 2.6.35 and have had better results but Iam reluctant to go into HEAD and just download a later version.

It will just be *much* more work without any gain for the Windows side. That's why I wrote their reason is *integration* with AD, not AD itself. > Back when I worked alongside a Windows group they had a lot of the back > end AD services implemented on *NIX machines for various reasons. I take then, it that you have yourself never designed, realized, implemented, tested or run an AD infrastructure yourself? I have -- and AD is a highly interesting piece of infrastructure software where I haven't yet found its equal in the open source Linux world. (Group policies, integration of various directory related services, and ease of delegation are killer features, alone.) Yes, it's _possible_ to do as you wrote, but with a very high probability it's not _sensible_.

[opensuse] rc.local in openSUSE
by Andrew Joakimsen 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Is there a simple way to run commands during the boot process, but after init scripts are run in openSUSE, sort of like rc.local file in other distributions? I was told that boot.local is the same in openSUSE, but these commands run before the init scripts. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
