[opensuse] webpin for 11.3 - does it work?
by David C. Rankin 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Guys, I have run webpin several times on 11.3 and it always comes back with "No results ..." Is it set up yet? Example: 11:30 zephyr:/home/backup/rpms/suse11.3> webpin kdelibs3 ... performing request on http://software.opensuse-community.org/ws/searchservice/Search/Simple/openS… results found for "kdelibs3" in openSUSE_113 Now I know kdelibs3 is in OBS, I installed it earlier and I can look at it here: http://opensuse.ca.unixheads.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.3/i586/… but it doesn't show up in webpin.... What's up with that? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] runlevel daemon startup shutdown sequence
by west alto 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Hi Gurus, How can i adjust the shutdown or startup priority sles10sp3? Here what is inside my: /etc/init.d/rc3.d K21PowerPath K21naviagent S01PowerPath S01naviagent /etc/sysconfig/boot RUN_PARALLEL=yes When it enters the runlevel 3 naviagent starts first then followed by PowerPath. When it leaves the runlevel 3 PowerPath stops first (which gives an error that naviagent still running), then stops other daemon, then stops naviagent Is there a way to reverse the shutdown so the naviagent will stop first followed by PowerPath. I change K21naviagent to K20naviagent in /etc/init.d/rc3.d and RUN_PARALLEL=no in /etc/sysconfig/boot but still PowerPath shutdown first then naviagent. Please help.

[opensuse] Installed Krita - hosed Plasma & KDE4
by Regis Matejcik 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Did something fairly stupid. Needed to make some simple modifications to a .pdf document very quickly - the .pdf rendered poorly in OO Draw. Saw a post that said "Krita" rendered .pdf's better and decided I'd try it - via YAST. As soon as I clicked the Krita box in YAST I entered dependency hell. I accepted three series of additional packages to install to solve dependency. Amazingly, it finally came up "clean" of dependency issues and I installed Krita. As soon as I started Krita my plasma desktop crashed and I got this message:Executable: kdeinit4 PID: 13179 Signal: 11 (Segmentation fault) and the remaining desktop was some odd looking Gnome type screen. I logged out and tried to log back in. First in KDE4 then in KDE4 safe mode. Both times with the same results. I tried a hard re-boot, same result. I logged back in with XFCE and everything appeared to be fine, except that it was XFCE - not KDE4 with plasma - which unlike many here - I really like! Any hints on how to get KDE4 / Plasma back ? thanks ps. Krita really did render the .pdf quite well! -- Regis Matejcik Crescent Construction Company www.CrescentConstruction.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] howto Delay switch to graphics mode on boot to monitor samba, mysql & ntp??
by David C. Rankin 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Guys, The runlevel 5 init scripts have been rearranged and now the switch to graphics mode from text mode occurs much too early hiding a majority of the boot process (samba, mysql, ntp, etc....) How can I change the time when this switch occurs so I can monitor the boot process like we have always been able to. Before it was very useful for catching errors after config changes, etc.. Now all of this is obscured and hidden from the user. Having the switch to graphics mode this early seems ridiculous. Instead of being able to monitor for errors now, you are switched into a basically 'dead' login display that is virtually non-responsive until the boot process completes anyway. It's far better to be able to actually monitors what takes place for an additional 40 seconds to a minute instead of having that part of the boot process hidden behind a non-responsive login display. (OK, sometimes you can start the login then, but things grind to a halt until the underlying boot processes complete) So how do I delay the switch until at lease past samba, ntp & mysql??? -- David C.

[opensuse] Compiz/KDE4
by Jay Vollmer 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Hello listmates. I've got 11.3 up and running happily on my ThinkPad T61p (nVidia) and all is well except that while running Compiz I can't get the desktop to be transparent - I'd like to be able to see the other desktops on the cube and any thing like gears or fish on the inside. I've installed the full ccsm utility and have adjusted the opacity while not rotating setting to where I'm used to having it, but no setting produces anything other than 100% opacity for the desktop. Is there anyone here who can think of what I might be doing wrong? Does one of the new KDE features keep the desktop from being transparent? While I've got your attention on Compiz, does anyone know what happened to the fish, and the window burn animation? I've installed all the Compiz extras and these are still missing. aTdHvAaNnKcSe -- JAY VOLLMER Il n'y a aucune honte en étant un paria! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Screen Saver Engagment Fails (11.3)
by Randall R Schulz 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Hi, On a new 11.3 installation using the commercial nVidia driver (version 256.35, though the symptom also occurred on the earlier version just replaced a few days ago by 256.35), whenever the screen saver should engage, I just see a very brief flash on the screen. I interpret this as the screen saver starting and immediately stopping. I've tried several different screen-saver modules, but always with the same effect. I also tried setting the monitor power-save timeout to be less than the screen saver timeout, and when I do this the power save _does_ engage. All the details are available in this bug report: <http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=625700> If anyone has seen this and especially if you've solved it, please let me know along with any interesting new details or information.

Re: [opensuse] KDE 4 vs Gnome vs Windows

When you go to Gnome for the first time, things will seem a little bit different at first. Just remember that gconf-editor is where all the detailed settings take place. Just google "gnome configure XYZ.." and you will find the gconf-editor setting you need to change. Most all of your normal settings can be handled in the gnome control center, so from that standpoint there are no surprises. All of your normal appearance settings are available by rt-clicking on the desktop and then clicking "change desktop background". That brings up the dialog that controls the GTK Theme (controls, check boxes, etc.. settings), metacity theme settings (window borders/decorations), mouse cursor, etc... There are a whole lot of absolutely 'Killer' gtk/metacity themes out there for gnome. All in all, while I was a true kde advocate all the way through kde3.5, I have absolutely fallen in love with Gnome as a desktop. It is more than capable while retaining the simple efficiency that was the mainstay of kde3. It is well worth the time it will take to make friends with the desktop. Sure there are some things I don't like in Gnome as much as I like in kde (nothing will top kde3 konqueror for a file manager), but there is nothing on the downside in Gnome that is a put-off for me either. Give it a spin and when you are ready for the killer themes and tips shoot a post to the list and I'll post a short list of the good one (dark of course for my tired eyes ;-) -- David C.

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.3 - nl80211: 'nl80211' generic netlink not found - Problem
by Alex 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Hello openSUSE folks, Just did a fresh install of openSUSE 11.3 on my Toshiba Satellite laptop today. Everything works but my wireless connection. I'm using Realtek provided driver for my Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n chipset. It worked perfectly in the previous openSUSE 11.2 installation. I tried to troubleshoot why it isn't working in 11.3 When I execute ifup wlan0 it gives me this type of message: Starting wpa_supplicant nl80211: 'nl80211' generic netlink not found Failed to initialize driver interface I'm using desktop kernel. May be something relevant to my case was disabled in it? Should I change it to the plain kernel? Thank you in advance for any help or hints.

Re[4]: [opensuse] So tried KDE4
by Илья Черных 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

> People's KDE4 attempts fall over whenever they try to force it to be KDE3. Why my attempts over Windows, Gnome, KDE3 and KDE2 do not fail in that case? Only KDE4 is fail. Of course if you use only KDE4's default icon theme Oxygen and do not try to make KDE3 or whatever of it by simply changing the default icons, you'll not spot the fact that the icon theme cannot be changed in KDE4.4.4. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
