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

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?

[opensuse] streamtuner and shoutcast
by eddie 30 Jun '10

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.

[opensuse] Manual control of initialisation of USB devices
by G T Smith 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a bit of a problem. I have a USB device (a SATA/IDE interface) that allows me to connect up to 2 drives in various configurations, but in order to add or change a drive I need to unmount and physically disconnect both the USB device and change the drive configuration. I would prefer to initiate this from the CLI without the need to physically disconnect the USB device. The article... http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:SUSE_Linux_Hotplug_System_Overview#Hotplug_Events seems to indicate the hwup/hwdown process as a likely route to perform this task. Unfortunately this article from 2006 is either incomplete or so out of date that the information given is useless. a) Does anyone know of any openSuSE documentation which is more current. The hotplug project site seems to be a bit broken, and in any case openSuSE have modified the process somewhat and what information I have gleaned from the project sources is not very relevant. b) Ever tried anything similar (I prefer to avoid reinventing the wheel). - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

[opensuse] Alsa lib
by James Hatridge 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Hi all, Ok, dumb question, but I can't figure out how to install Alsa-lib 1.0.24 on my 11.2 64bit system. First of all I can't find 1.0.24 (or .23). When I tell Yast to find it all I get are .21 or .22 listings. Can someone help me here?

[opensuse] How to analyze system crashes
by Martin Mielke 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Hi all, every now and then I see, after running "last | more", things like these: -- martin pts/6 Mon Jun 7 00:04 - crash (21+18:32) martin pts/4 Mon Jun 7 00:03 - crash (21+18:32) -- Of course this only happens after a system crash... the problem is that there's no apparent reason for that, so I'd like to know which tools could be used and which settings should I tweak in order to determine what was the root cause for this, as there's nothing on /var/log/* ,,, This OpenSuSE 11.0 is fully patched/updated with the officially released stuff and repositories. Suggestions are welcomed! TIA, Martin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Can anyone give me a link that might get me to python-usb. I found a python-usb for 11.0, but have not found one for 11.2. I am trying to use the bbtether to connect my BB to the computer as a modem and one of the python modules is for usb support.
