[opensuse] 10.3 + Truecrypt 6.3: hangs on hibernate
by j debert 03 May '10

03 May '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Greetings! On OpenSuSE10.3, with Truecrypt 6.3, when a truecrypt volume is mounted and the system is going to hibernate, it hangs at or immediately after "suspending tasks...". This only occurs when I forget to unmount any truecrypt volume before hibernating the system. There doesn't seem to be any scripts associated with suspend/hibernate. Is there another way to automatically get truecrypt volumes unmounted before suspend/hibernate? TIA == jd Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take Hofstadter's Law into account. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFL1uXqhpL3F+HeDrIRArDqAJ0TxIyZqodUiu4KygHPfnqh8cUlHgCcDmQb s6IaX/QThZONyFxgGvg0GPc= =Xchb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] WiFi and KDE4 - systray icon
by C 01 May '10

01 May '10

I recently tried out the latest PCLinuxOS release, and noticed something... in their KDE4 build, the systray icon for the WiFi is the familiar graduated bargraph style... it's very readable, easy to see signal strength on etc. Back to the openSUSE KDE4 builds, and we've got that useless circle thing that's basically unusable as a visual reference to see WiFi signal strength etc... it's just a white and blue circle... and the microscopic signal strength bar on the right is... well.. microscopic. What's the trick to enable or use a more "normal" and readable WiFi systray icon in KDE4/KNetworkManager? I've been poking Google and various forums, but haven't turned up anything useful yet.

[opensuse] Thunderbird config and content file: openSUSE vs Ubuntu
by Boris Epstein 01 May '10

01 May '10

Hi all, It appears that while under openSUSE the Thunderbird's files go into $HOME/.thunderbird in Ubuntu the are stored in $HOME/.mozilla-thunderbird . Not only that but the content appears somehow different - linking or copying content to the correct folder does not work. So, does anybody have any idea what all of this is about? What I am trying to accomplish is manage things in such a way as to allow users to use Thunderbird the same way whether they log into their account from a SUSE machine or an Ubuntu one. Thanks in advance for any insight into this mess. Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Tip: Google Earth under oS 11.2
by Rodney Baker 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

Hi all. This may be common knowledge but I had to search the Google site for answers so it may help someone else. After installing Google Earth v5 on 11.2 (and probably earlier versions as well) it may well fail to run, complaining that it cant find libstdc++.so.6. The problem is that the versions installed by Google Earth conflict with the standard system libraries. This doesn't just affect openSuSE - the same problems have been reported on other distros as well. The solution is to rename libcrypto.so.0.9.8, libstdc++.so.6 and libgcc_s.so.1 in the Google Earth installation directory (/opt/google-earth if installed as root or /home/<user>/google-earth if installed as a user). I simply added .orig to the end of the filenames. Hopefully this helps someone else. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker(a)iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] QT Creator 1.3.1 for openSUSE 11.2
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 Apr '10

Is there a package in OBS for QT Creator 1.3.1 for openSUSE 11.2? I see it for openSUSE 11.0 (software search on openSUSE web site). So perhaps I am looking in the wrong place.

[opensuse] epson stylus s21
by Lars Schotte 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

i have an epson stylus s21 which is supported by gutenprint the newest version and i ve tried cups old and cups new, both dont work and the older one says nothing, brings no error, does as if everything is fine, but the printer is not printing. i can not print a test page because he says: Unsupported format 'application/postscript'! which he only does after compiling or upgrading, so i am sure opensuse team temepered with cups there and now he brings up such errors everywhere. i dont know how they were able to do it, because i did compile this cups for example by myself, but its a problem that comes also when you install it from other repos. however, thats the beginning, i suppose there are tons of bugs which prevent this printer from working. but i can not go any further than this, becuause he doesnt say anything meaningful or useful that could be a hint because i dont even know what bug is from cups and what is opensuse's tampering. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Past Week - Tbird & Firefox not shutting down when you click 'Close' or 'Quit'
by David C. Rankin 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

Guys, Over the past week or so, I have had terrible problems with thunderbird and firefox not quitting when you tell them to resulting in either and error message when you try and restart them telling you they are still running and you have to quit them first before you can restart them or just screwing up your session so that firefox and thunderbird unexpectedly start the next time you launch your desktop (kde set to save session on exit) I thought something with kde session manager was botched at first and I would just either edit or delete ksmserverrc, but then when I got the error about Firefox and Thunderbird needing to be shutdown before being restarted, things started to make a little more sense. For example, when thunderbird fails to shutdown, the process that continue to run are either one or more of: thunderbird thunderbird-bin thunderbird.sh Setting up a small script to check for them and kill them straightened this out, but that doesn't answer the question of what's broke or how to fix it. Has anyone else seen this behavior? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Skype mic input
by John Bennett 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

Suse 11.2 x64/KDE 4.4 I know this seems to come up on a regular basis, but have looked and unable to find any fix.... Had skype running ok previously, thought i would take the plunge and try pulse audio - didn't work (struggled for ages trying to get *any* input - think it has an issue with my sound hardware - 82801JI...) so have uninstalled pulse audio (well, the bits I installed - Pulseaudio and the bits it automatically removes with it - leaves the volume control/admin and various other bits and plugins) Most things seem to be back to normal, but... there is no input into Skype. In Skype, I cannot choose any sound devices, only have "default" with no other choices. Have tried different versions of Skype, the latest (rpm, dynamic and static), and 2 previous versions which were working PRE-pulse... Any ideas on how to get Skype to recognise something...?? Thanks, John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
