[opensuse] Can Korganizer be sync'ed to google calendar?
by Greg Freemyer 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

I came across gcaldaemon via google, but it's not part of the 11.2 distro. Is there a opensuse recommended way to sync the calendars? It would be nice if it did not require a jvm be loaded all the time.

[opensuse] Mangler on openSUSE?
by C 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

Is anyone here using Mangler... or trying to use Mangler on openSUSE with Ventrilo servers? http://www.mangler.org There is an RPM that someone has built: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dennisconrad:/mangler/openS… but it's an older version without ALSA support... it only supports PulseAudio.. something I refuse to install. I've compiled the latest source of Mangler (the one with ALSA support) and installed it. The compile is fine, but... apparently the Ventrilo server I'm connecting with uses a 32khz Speex codec. Mangler is requesting a 32khz input steam from my audio devices, but cannot get it. I've been informed that I should tell ALSA to resample the input rate: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/.asoundrc#Converting_Sample_Rates_On_Input Terminal output: ----------------------------- ALSA lib pcm.c:7326:(snd_pcm_set_params) Rate doesn't match (requested 32000Hz, get 0Hz) snd_pcm_set_params() failed: Invalid argument ----------------------------- Has anyone ever done this? What's the impact on other apps if I do something like this? Is there a "right" way to do this on openSUSE?

Got the MessageContent value to set, but it complained about the message endpoint, so I took a chance and started with 0x01. It worked!

[opensuse] 11.2 yast sw management keeps segfaulting when you press "Accept"
by David C. Rankin 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

Dev, guys, Any body else seeing yast software management crash after you have selected packages, are all done, and then you press "Accept"? There is nothing more frustrating than spending 1/2 hour picking through individual packages to get the setup you need -- only to press the final button and receive the dialog: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid YaST got signal 6 at YCP file String.ycp:128 /sbin/yast2: line 454: 12764 Aborted $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS (process:12934): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. I don't have time to bug it right now, but if you want a look at the y2_logs they are here: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/112/y2logs.tgz Also, when I ssh into any box from 11.2, I get: "/usr/bin/manpath: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct" I don't know if this is related, but I don't know how to fix it? -- David C.

[opensuse] Not getting my own messages from opensuse Mailinglist
by Martin Jungowski 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

Weird thing I just noticed: I'm not getting the messages I'm sending to the openSUSE Mailinglist. They're in the archives and I am getting the answers directly quoting what I said, but that's about it. I'm a bit puzzled here. I tried to unsubscribe and subscribe again but that didn't hlep. Three days ago I received the following message from opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org: > Subject: Messages from opensuse(a)opensuse.org to you have been > bouncing > Hi, this is the mlmmj program managing the mailinglist > > opensuse(a)opensuse.org > > Some messages to you could not be delivered.

[opensuse] How do bugs get resolved at opensuse?
by David C. Rankin 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

Answer: They are ignored until the package goes out of support and are then closed with: "We no longer do non-critical <package XYZ> fixes, sorry." https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=415270 Note: the bug was filed: August 7, 2008 p.s. This isn't a slam on Lubos, he does great work, I'm sure this was an auto generated response and I don't want it misunderstood. I just think it is kind of funny and ironic. -- David C.

[opensuse] Where and how to complain about mozilla print faults?
by Istvan Gabor 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

Hello: Netscape/mozilla browsers never were good at printing but since mozilla 3.x it is a real pain. It is a shame that during the last almost two years apparently no progress occurred in this field. Not only that firefox, and recently seamonkey, can not remember settings, the print user interface is a pain, not to mention the ugly print results (jamming letters, empty spaces between letters within one word). Where could I complain about it except of bugzilla? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
