[opensuse] Akonadi problem
by 911 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hello SuSE people, Recently upgraded to KDE4.4 andI now receive the following message: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nepomuk Indexing Agents Have Been Disabled The Nepomuk service is not available or fully operational and attempts to rectify this have failed. Therefore indexing of all data stored in the Akonadi PIM service has been disabled, which will severely limit the capabilities of any application using this data. The following problems were detected: Nepomuk is not running. --------------------------------------------------------------------- OK, remember stuff on this list talking about Akonadi/Nepomuk but can't recall or find what it is about. There was a solution. Just don't know what it was about. Please remind me.

[opensuse] Update to 11.2 breaks WLAN/WIFI with ipw2100
by Stefan Quandt 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

Since updating my system to 11.2 WLAN is broken in that knetworkmanager lists all reachable access points but connecting is not possible, even if I switch my router (and connection settings) to unencrypted. Since knetworkmanager shows all access points and their signal strength I'm sure my WLAN hardware is not broken. Now I switched with yast2 to traditional (ifup) based network setup. This did not change anything: Still ethernet based connection works, but 'ifup eth1' (for WLAN) fails on getting an IP address: Starting DHCP4 client on eth1. . . . . . . eth1 DHCP4 continues in background It is still possible to list access points with "Netzwerk durchsuchen" on a page of the 'yast2 lan' configuration module. The only single visible difference is a polling action which starts immediately after switching to traditional setup (which shows up my /var/log/messages because of my ipw2100 module debug flags): Jan 23 14:56:44 host ifup: eth1 device: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04) Jan 23 14:56:44 host ifup: eth1 Startmode is 'manual' Jan 23 14:56:44 host ifup: vboxnet0 Jan 23 14:56:44 host ifup: No configuration found for vboxnet0 Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185248] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_name Name: unassociated Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185260] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_freq GET Freq/Channel -> 0 Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185278] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_essid Getting essid: ANY Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185284] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_mode GET Mode -> 2 Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185296] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_name Name: unassociated Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185303] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_freq GET Freq/Channel -> 0 Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185312] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_essid Getting essid: ANY Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185318] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_mode GET Mode -> 2 Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185331] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_range GET Range Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185353] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_wap Getting WAP BSSID: 00:00:00:00:00:00 The 'unassociated' messages repeat every second.

[opensuse] HP only prints on HP paper
by lynn 25 Jul '10

25 Jul '10

I have a deskjet F2280. Normal photocopy paper works fine. To get high quality prints, I have to use HP paper. It will not feed any other (I have tried kodak and epson which I'd like to use). Printer setup by yast. OS 11.2 with KDE 3.4.5 Is there any way I can fool it into thinking it's HP paper?

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.3 RC1 looks good
by Roger Oberholtzer 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Just did a network install of 11.3 RC1 on my Dell laptop. I connected every USB dodad to see how hardware discovery went. Overall, things look really good. I had only these things happen (that I found thus far): 1. In the network install, the initial attempt at finding the install server failed. It then went to a character-based version, where I could specify the wi-fi and not eth0 should be used. I did not see that option in the GUI install. Perhaps I missed it. But the character install got the 11.3 install parts, and then it was business as usual with the openSUSE GUI install. 2. On my nvidia chipset, it used the Nouveau driver, which is now the default. Whereas the effects work with the the NVidia driver on 11.2, this driver keeps disabling the effects. I will see if I can get the driver to work. If not, I will change to the Nvidia driver. 3. Sound. But then again, it would not be a SUSE distro without sound issues... Sound works in YaST. But programs like Amarok emit no sound from internet audio sources. They claim to be playing something. But I hear nothing. I will sort this out. I am only describing what you get out of the can. Perhaps there is a simple solution. My overall impression is that 11.3 looks to be a keeper. For us, the last keeper (we tell our customers to buy) was 10.3. Maybe we are a .3 release user. But I think this release is worth a look. Tonight I will check out the new lightweight desktop. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] How to set another resolution on my desktop?
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

Working happily with my 11.3RC1 but ran into a problem with the resolution and refresh rate. After boot it shows resolution 1024x768 with a refresh rate of 85. This is above the rate from my monitor supplier. If I change that into 1280x1024 refresh auto it gives a much better image and gives a rate from 65, well below the manufacturers info. I have tried in vain to save this setting but after every reboot it is the old resolution and refresh rate again. In former versions I would go to sax and finish the problem. Sax has gone so what do I next? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.3 RC 1 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.34-9-default LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.4.3 (KDE 4.4.3) 18:45pm up 19:48, 1 user, load average: 1.05, 1.03, 0.77 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Latetly, when I use Konqueror, I often get an error message "The application unknown (nspluginviewer) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)". Any idea what might be causing this? What can be done about it? I'm running 64 bit OpenSUSE 11.0. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Attempting to install RealPlayer
by Carlos E. R. 30 Jun '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm attempting to install RealPlayer (I have some videos that need it (3gp)), from <http://www.real.com/realplayer/linux>, in oS 11.2 x64. I got RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm. The first error I got was: Elessar:~ # rpm --install /home/cer/Download/RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libXv.so.1 is needed by realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386 Elessar:~ # However, it was already installed: xorg-x11-libXv-7.4-6.1.x86_64 I guess it may need the 32 bit version, so I also installed: xorg-x11-libXv-32bit-7.4-6.1.x86_64 Now it fails in another way: Elessar:~ # rpm --install /home/cer/Download/RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm postinst called with unknown argument `1' warning: %post(realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 Elessar:~ # I had a look at the postinstall script: case "$1" in configure) echo "postinst..." if [ -x /opt/real/RealPlayer/postinst/postinst.sh ] ; then /opt/real/RealPlayer/postinst/postinst.sh fi ;; abort-upgrade|abort-remove|abort-deconfigure) ;; *) echo "postinst called with unknown argument \`$1'" >&2 exit 1 ;; esac What is happening? I think the rpm got installed, but I don't know how to start realplayer... something else failed, there is no binary I can find. My guess is that the rpm was automatically created from a .deb package and it went bad. A google search finds something related to that, but till this moment I haven't seen a solution. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Digikam v1.2.0 does not find the kipi-plugins
by Erwin Lam 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

Hello, I am using openSUSE 11.2 with the following packages from the KDE:Backports repository: digikam-1.2.0-14.1.x86_64 digikam-lang-1.2.0-14.1.noarch kipi-plugins-1.2.0-20.1.x86_64 kipi-plugins-lang-1.2.0-20.1.noarch It turns out that this version of digikam can not find the kipi-plugins although these have been installed. In addition, choosing a custom font for the Tree View has no effect on that view. Could somebody be so kind to fix the digikam package from KDE:Backports?

by eddie 30 Jun '10

After a discussion with some friends I decided to take a look at internet radio and started up streamtuner but found the shoutcast tab empty. Is anyone else using streamtuner to listen to shoutcast streams if so how did you get it to work? I'm using opensuse 11.2 & kde 4. 3. Oh both are 64bit. Thanks in advance.
