[opensuse] Trying to setup kde3 in oS 11.2
by Carlos E. R. 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I got kde3 installed and running, more or less. I haven't installed everything, and it is not clear what I should install. Worse, some packages failed to download and install and I'm not sure how to list them (kdebase did not install, but got it on a second round). One of the things that fails is kcontrol: it is empty. What package should contain the gadgets inside? I need at least to define the language (my intention on installing kde3 is for using kbabel, that runs, but defaults to en_US). I might also install rekall, I have a book database made with that. There is no rekall for kde4? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse] Gnome 11.0 - mime types messed up (all plain text) -- update-mime-database errors
by David C. Rankin 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Guys, Something has screwed up the mime database in gnome so that now gnome things all documents are "plain text document" mime types. I have tried 'update-mime-database /usr/share/mime' and it returned the following errors: [15:17 alchemy:/usr/share/mime] # update-mime-database /usr/share/mime Unknown media type in type 'all/all' Unknown media type in type 'all/allfiles' Unknown media type in type 'uri/mms' Unknown media type in type 'uri/mmst' Unknown media type in type 'uri/mmsu' Unknown media type in type 'uri/pnm' Unknown media type in type 'uri/rtspt' Unknown media type in type 'uri/rtspu' Unknown media type in type 'fonts/package' Unknown media type in type 'interface/x-winamp-skin' I suspect that the above type don't exist and that is causing the whole mime database update to fail leaving everything set to 'plain text document'. What do I do to fix this? Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Repos down?
by Verner Kjærsgaard 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hi gurus, - since yesterday (thursday CET) I've had problems updating/receiving sw from the various openSuSE repos. - Am I alone with these problems or are there indeed problems in Germany? Also....if I log into www.opensuse.org and click the gray 'Create it' option, I then select 'find the latest open source packages' and am directed to the 'search' page. I then select 11.1 or 11.2. I can search and find for example 'ltsp' but NOT - say - gimp or freenx. Any hints....?

[opensuse] Unmounting usb/samba disks
by John Bennett 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

*/*/Suse 11.2 x64/KDE 4.4.2 (but has been happening since installing - fresh - 11.2) Same thing happening on a totally different (11.2/x86) PC as well. Both these used to work fine when on 11.1. Have asked this question before, and thought it had been fixed with an update, but have since been putting up with it.... If I plug a usb disk (of any sort) in, I get the usual notification, and can load it by selecting options (from Device Notifier in the KDE taskbar). So far, so good. Then, when I want to unload it, I go to device notifier, click the 'unmount/eject' option (after making DAMN SURE there is nothing holding files open on the disk - can close EVERY open app/utility) and I get a message saying "Could not unmount the device. One or more files on this device are open within an application". Now, I KNOW someone is going to come back and say there is something using it... NO, there isn't. I can then open a terminal, and just as a standard user, umount the drive with no error messages. Anybody else having this problem/know of a solution?? /*/* -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to list size, date and file name with ls?
by Istvan Gabor 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hello: How can I list files with ls showing file size, date and file name? I would like to see something as with the ls -l option but without permission, user name and group name info. I tried -g and -G options to suppress owner and group info, but could not find out how to disable permissions info. And what is the difference between -o and -G options? Thanks in advance.

[opensuse] synaptics touchpad after update
by Stefan Quandt 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hi all Xorg and HAL experts, after a monthly "zypper dup" my synaptics touchpad is no longer working. My kernel is now 2.6.31-12-0-2. . The touchpad is still reported in cat /proc/bus/input/devices as I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=a5b1 N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input1 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse0 event1 but it gets not listed with "xinput -list" and Xorg.0.log does no longer show any attempts to load the synaptics module. I suppose the kernel module synaptics_i2c should be loaded but it is not. Just modprobing it loads the driver but does not help. GSynaptics wants met to set SHMConfig option to xorg.conf, but I think that should not be necessary. Any suggestions? Thanks and regards Stefan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I was out of the office and could not respond. I have this repo active. I am not sure which things I am using from it. I could check to see if there was any need here, but by the time I read this the repo was gone. So it is hard for me to check. How could I check installed RPMs to see if they came from that repo? I cannot use YaST as the repo has gone away... -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] SAMBA/WINBIND, Novell Client for Linux: how far can I go?
by Roger Oberholtzer 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

I am happily using samba/winbind to authenticate users logging in from our company's active directory. The YaST interface to this is as simple as it can be. What I am curious about is how much more one can do. Like: 1. limit the logins to user names in a list on the linux box? Sounds odd, I know. But the AD does not have a useful group to select, and even if it did, the samba/winbind implementation seems not to support this. This may be more of a PAM question, as I guess it could be a pam module that manages/tests the list. Any ideas? 2. Is it possible to obtain any more information about the user? Like their full name, e-mail address, etc? In fact, when they log in on a Windows PC, they use the Novell client for Windows, which also manages things like mounting remote file systems. Is there any way to access this information from Linux? The Novell client for Linux is a moving target - you never know which release of openSUSE on which it will run. So I am looking for a reliable solution that has a greater chance of working across openSUSE releases. Are there any discussions of having openSUSE interoperate with a Novell environment? I know there is for the Novell Linux releases. But these have additional features (e.g., a working NCL) that openSUSE often lacks. A discussion from an openSUSE point of view would be useful. It would be nice to know what Novell don't want to support on openSUSE in preference for a Novell release. Just so one knows where one stands. I can appreciate that they want to sell things. I have no problem with that. I would just like to know what they don't want on openSUSE. Like the NCL. Then I know which features require a Novell product. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
