[opensuse] Expired keys from OBS
by chief sealth 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

I get an expired key warning every time I add a repo from the OBS. Creation/expiration dates are the same each time. This alway happens in the OBS, not Packman or elsewhere. I've tried cleaning the metadata and cache, and doing a rebuild with rpm. I've removed all of the existing keys associated w/OBS. Somebody know what this is about? I can't think of anything else to try.

[opensuse] Hangs during shutdown on 11.3
by Rodney Baker 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Hi all. My work laptop running 11.3/KDE4.4.95 with current updates as of today is now hanging on shutdown. After clicking on "Turn Off Computer" in KDE4 I am immediately (and I do mean immediately, almost instantly) dropped to the console prompt, the shutdown begins (with "Sending all processes the KILL signal") and then I get a black screen with a single cursor in the top rh corner. An occassional flicker of the HDD light happens but that is all - the machine sits indefintely until I do the magic SysRq Ctrl-Alt-PrtScr-S,U,B combination (that does work - the drives are reported as clean on next boot). I'm figuring to debug this I probably need to redirect the system console to the serial port and use my other laptop with minicom to watch the serial output and see what part of the shutdown process is hanging, but I'm not sure how to do this. What config files/grub options do I need to make this work? TIA, Rodney. -- =================================================== 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

Re[2]: [opensuse] So tried KDE4

> First comment.. stop trying to make KDE4 into KDE3 when you're tinkering with it. That will not work. KDE4 is NOT KDE 3. Gnome is also not KDE3 but under Gnome all this works. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] spellchecker behavior
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

The spellchecker behavior is strange and I am looking for an improvement. At every number in my email it stops and wants to replace it with a letter. Where could I teach the spellchecker to behave different?

[opensuse] kxkb ---- KDE4 vs. KDE3 --- new thread!!

Thanks. > > Hi list users, Dotan, It's an old issue, but I hesitated to mention it until now. I even remember it happened once long time ago, during one of the earlier SUSE release transitions (even before kde4 appeared), and it got fixed after some time. This time, it reappeared with the KDE4, and I hoped this time it will get fixed again. But, it didn't, even with the release of openSUSE 11.3. Ok, let me explain. It is about the little tool for controling keyboard layouts. The one that sits in the tray, usualy showing national flags. Its name is kxkb. In KDE3 it is part of kdebase3 package and in KDE4 it's part of kdebase4-workspace package. Despite the name, these are different programs, and on my machine the kde3 version is in /opt/kde3/bin directory and the kde4 version is in /usr/bin directory. I can run them independently, even concurrently (on my 11.1 and 11.2 boxes). The new version is missing "include latin layout" checkbox in the configure window. Thanks to this checkbox, the old version could easily switch from any national layout to latin and back, just by pressing one key. One could have as many national layouts installed as he wants, and while being in each one of them, one could switch to latin and back just by one key press. E.g. I used left win key for toggling between any layout and latin, while having scroll lock LED for indicating alternate layout at any time. All this was configurable through "Xkb Options" tab in Configure window. The new version can not do this. "Xkb Options" are now called "Advanced", and the left win key now cycles through all my keyboard layouts, instead of just switching from the current layout to latin and back. I agree this is not big deal for most of the users around the list. But, I am sure that there are still many like me, whose national keyboard is not plain latin. Cyrillic, greek, chinese etc... I, for example have at least three layouts installed, switching heavily among them. Compared to the old one, the new kxkb is so annoying that in kde4 I had to remove it and to return to the kde3 version. Now, in 11.3, such workaround is not even possible. I am not familiar with bugzilla, so I have to kindly ask Dotan to help me with this, if possible. Hope this will be solved soon.

[opensuse] Log in just cycles
by Wayne Hammond 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

I upgraded 11.2 to latest upgrades (online updates.) This requested a reboot. After reboot I could no longer log in either as root or a user. No error, just cycles back to the login screen. What are the steps to remedy this...? Thanks Wayne - -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
