[opensuse] how to solve dependencies for stellarium 10.4
by Julien Michielsen 31 May '10

31 May '10

I want to install stellarium 10.4, but I was not able to solve all dependen- cies for it(as described in stellarium.org/wiki/index.php/Build_Dependencies) The first problem was for Open GL, which needs libgl1-mesa-dev. Yast (and the entire SuSE site) did not mention this lib. Is this available for SuSE? The next line stated GLU, and libglu1-mesa-dev. Appearantly (and luckily) this is not needed anymore from version 0.10.3, so I can skip that difficult line. The next dependency is Zlib, requiring zlib1g-dev. I could not find this for SuSE. Anywhere available? The libfreetype-requirement could not be solved either. My opensuse11.1 dit not go higher than libfreetype2. I will stop here,even though I'm not at the end of unsolvable requirements yet. Have people succeeded to install the later stellariums on suse, or should I rather give up?

[opensuse] where do I turn tracker off at?
by j debert 30 May '10

30 May '10

First, Beagle came along and made a hog of itself. Then Nepomuk came along and just kept everything to itself, letting me have a microscopic scrap of resources every once in a great while. Now, tracker shows up and hijacks my system when I'm working. The tracker gang, led by tracker-miner-fs, turns up after login and takes over my system as they search and index files like Beagle and Nepomuk. And as with those other two, the tracker gang does it's thing while I am busy and slows my work to a crawl or stalls it completely. The man pages say tracker is started by the .desktop config file. There is no .desktop config file. I've looked in every config file I can think of and none start tracker. THe worst thing about tracker, as is the worst thing with beagle and nepomuk, and cron jobs like suse.de-updatedb, etc., is that they always, without fail, choose to do their more important work while I'm working and never at idle times, like late at night. I want tracker to stop. I don't need it. It is severely interfering with work. So, Does Anyone Know Where, in which file, is the tracker gang started up? And if I delete it, will it go kamikaze and break the system or other apps, like so (too!) many other rpm-installed apps do? And BTW, why is it that beagle, nepomuk, tracker, et cetera are always installed and set to run at the most inopportune times by default? There's a trend here that suggests that someone's been reading way too much BOFH and that there will be many more of those hijacking searcher/indexers to come. == jd While money can't buy happiness, it certainly lets you choose your own form of misery. -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Enable double-click in firefox file chooser?
by Myrosia Dzikovska 29 May '10

29 May '10

I am on OpenSuse 11.1, using KDE 3.5. Since Firefox changed to GTK file chooser, there is one feature that is driving me crazy: files open on single click. This really does not work well with my touchpad, and I am constantly going into wrong directories or attaching wrong files to my webmail. I tried editing gnome/peripherals/mouse settings in gconf-editor, and unchecked the "single click" option. This doesn't seem to have changed anything. Is there another place to change configuration settings, or will I have to go back to the old Mozilla file chooser?
