[opensuse] Enabling macro's in OpenOffice.Org
by Koenraad Lelong 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Hi, I want to enable macro's in OpenOffice.org 3.0.0.9, stock version of OS 11.1. If I click Extra on the menu-bar, and then Options on the list, OOo just hangs. I have to kill it before I can try to restart it. I re-installed 3.0.0.9 with the same effect : hanging OOo when trying to set the options. I moved directory .ooo3 to have a new one created, which does not help. B.T.W. I tried to install a newer version of OOo, but Yast doesn't seem to have one although there are plenty of packages from OOo 3.2.0.7, just not the "main" packages. I do have the OOo repository in my configuration, with a "lower" priority (i.e. 98) than the OS 11.1 repositories. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to activate dmraid at bootup in oS 11.2?
by Istvan Gabor 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Hello: I have a working openSUSE 11.2 system with kernel 2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop installed on a PATA hard drive. I also have 2 SATA hard-disks which I would like to use in a RAID1 mirror array using the motheboard's BIOS/Fake RAID. (nvidia raid). I have set up the RAID1 array in BIOS and MB's raid setup utility. When I boot oS 11.2 it does not activate the RAID array. I can manually run dmraid -a y which activates RAID devices and creates them in /dev/mapper/. My questions are: 1. How could I activate dmraid so that it would recognize and activate the RAID array/disks at boot? 2. Is it possible, and how, to move my oS 11.2 installation from the PATA disk to the RAID array so that the system could boot from the array? (I could do a clean install of oS 11.2 on the array, and it could boot and worked perfect, but I'd prefer to move my existing install to the array.) Thanks in advance, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kde3 vs kde4 file associations
by Roger Oberholtzer 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

For kde3, /opt/kde3/share/ contains directories like applnk, icons, mimelnk. When we installed system-wide packages, we added file associations and all to these directories. I am looking for the KDE4 counterparts. There is a /usr/share/applnk and /usr/share/icons. But no /usr/share/mimelnk. Perhaps that is now /usr/share/mime. Is there a good description of how this is structured in kde4? Especially from the pov of system-wide software installation? That is, not setting these things interactively in some KDE app (e.g., dolphin)? The closest discussion I found on KDE was http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=49010 which did not really shed any light on the topic. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] Firefox: Updater wants to update to 3.5.8 from 3.6
by Konstantinos Georgokitsos 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

In openSuse 11.1, I have Firefox 3.6 installed from the mozilla Build Service repo (I need to sync with Weave). Now the updater applet wants to upgrade me to the Update repo's 3.5.8 version (with all the dependent xulrunners and stuff). In Yast2 though, the "install software" program does not think there is anything to be upgraded for either Firefox or it's dependencies. (well, except for the theme-oxygen, where it thinks that 1.4.92-5.1 should replace 1.4.92-10.1). both repos have priority 99. I would not like to give up on the update applet, as it usually is quite handy. Any idea? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] V11,1 and Bluetooth
by Stan Goodman 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

I bought a Bluetooth dongle today, hoping to be able to use it on my notebook machine. When it didn't work as expected, I googled for pertinent information, and quickly found a page at <http://en.opensuse.org/Bluetooth#openSUSE_11.1>, which seemed to be just what the doctor ordered. It's suggestions for fixing what it indicates is a known bug failed, producing no improvement in the Bluetooth problem, and also causing the Bluetooth applet to disappear from the Panel and the Network Manager to fail. I lost hope when I encountered the following sentence: "If you are having issues with kde's Bluetooth front ends on 11.1 try installing gnome-Bluetooth and bluez-gnome, and running Bluetooth-applet. This does not work, but it gives you something to occupy your time. Or, go back to 10.3." I refrain for commenting on the attitude betrayed by the page, but I, for one, have plenty to do without spending my time on proposed "solutions" that are guaranteed up front not to work. I think the time has come has come to ask if anybody has got Bluetooth to work on v11.1, and if so, what did they do to accomplish this? -- 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

Almost. 1) The arguments must be the other way round; first the real files, then the place where the symlinks shall be created. 2) There's a typo in the first command, there ".co" must be ".ko". The exact commands are, as root: cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/weak-updates/updates ln -sf /lib/modules/2.6.27.42-0.1-trace/updates/vbox*.ko . depmod -a Then, run modprobe vboxvfs and see if error messages are output to console or to /var/log/messages. If not, the kernel module problem has probably been resolved.

[opensuse] systemload / cpu's
by Hans Witvliet 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Perhaps a silly question... I noticed on one of my machines, one of the cores was permanently 100% busy, while others were stile idle. (two dual-cores) This i noticed both for openvpn and rsync. For both my cpu is apperently the bottleneck, not my network. Aren't the processes supposed to be spread even on the different core's? hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
