[opensuse] 30%? What 30%? The machine is idle ... well isn't it?
by Anton Aylward 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Run 'powertop' to see why the machine is being woken up when it is supposedly 'idle' Here's my "idle" (sorry, the mouse was the click-to-copy-paste) I sit at watch and its pretty constant. All those timers .... *sigh* The ironic thing is that this, with the clock on the taskbar and the CPU monitor, the latter tells me the CPU is running about 30%. Ironic isn't it?

[opensuse] KDE3 Question
by Phil Savoie 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Afternoon All, I read on the list that there is a kde3 repo available. Is there any documentation as to how to go about going back to kde3 vice using kde4 and how to enable the kde3 repo as well as turning off the kde4 stuff? Any way to install OS11.3 using only kde3?

[opensuse] Eclipse on openSuSE11.3, edit remote files using SSH
by Verner Kjærsgaard 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Hi list, - I cannot seem to figure this out. - from within YaST, I install eclipse. - this works fine. - However, using eclipse, I wish to on-line edit PHP-files located on a remote machine, using SSH/SFTP. - I used to have an old version of some Zend (eclipse variant) on another machine. In that system, I could define SSH/SFTP connections and edit online. - In eclipse (the SuSE version), I cannot seem to figure out how to establish connection to a remote machine. Am I missing something - or can eclipse just not do so? Thanks!

[opensuse] How to hotplug/automount USB stick on openSUSE 11.3 `Minimal X Window' installation
by Mads Jeppe Tarp-Johansen 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

openSUSErs Having sucesfully installed openSUSE 11.3 `Minimal X Window' installation and done update manual mount of USB stick is straight forward and eg lsusb shows the device without any problems. However, I simply can't figure out how to enable hotplugging (or auto- mount, really not sure what is the proper phrasing) in the following sense: upon insertion of USB stick the OS should automatically mount and make the device available on /media/WhateverAppropriate irrespective of user. I've been over various discussions/posts on the web but didn't find conclusive description on what core mechanism is supposed (I sense that historically there has been different approaches to hotplugging ...) to be responsible of hotplugging on openSUSE 11.3. It may simply be that a package is not being installed now that I've chosen a `Minimal X Window' installation.

[opensuse] Banshee for 11.2 missing
by Marco Calistri 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Hello list, Still using 11.2 on "real" system, whereas 11.3 keeps going on "virtual" . Wonder why Banshee has been wiped away from Banshee/11.2 while it is still present inside 11.1 and 11.3 repos. Then, can I use 11.3 repo to update my current Banshee 11.2?

[opensuse] OT slightly: Manually recognizing SPAM emails
by Duaine Hechler 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

Because I have a business and don't want to take the chance of deleting something I may want to get, I have been using the IP address as well as a few keywords to build my own spam control - so far blocking about 99%. I've tried googling many ways and not getting anything I'm looking for. However, is there any tell tale signs in the email headers to look for ? Any website that tells how to block spam using info from the headers ?

[opensuse] oS 11.3. "Disabling IRQ"
by Mark Goldstein 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

Hello, I have oS 11.3 and oS 11.1 (both 32-bit) installed on my desktop. The computer itself is relatively new (4-5 month) but I re-used some old HW from my old PC, in particular TV card, that is probably 6-7 years old (Lifeview FlyVideo 98). The TV card works fine with 11.1. But in 11.3 after some hours of work I'm getting the following message: Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724155] irq 17: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724160] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Tainted: P 2.6.35.1-1-desktop #1 Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724162] Call Trace: Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724175] [<c0206453>] try_stack_unwind+0x173/0x190 Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724181] [<c020504f>] dump_trace+0x3f/0xe0 Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724186] [<c02064bb>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x4b/0x60 Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724190] [<c02064e8>] show_trace+0x18/0x20 Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724195] [<c065b6c1>] dump_stack+0x6d/0x72 Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724200] [<c02a7b14>] __report_bad_irq+0x24/0x90 Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724204] [<c02a7ce6>] note_interrupt+0x166/0x1a0 Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724209] [<c02a8882>] handle_fasteoi_irq+0xb2/0xe0 Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724213] [<c0205005>] handle_irq+0x15/0x20 Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724217] [<c0204cf7>] do_IRQ+0x47/0xc0 Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724221] [<c0203769>] common_interrupt+0x29/0x30 Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724233] [<c020a252>] mwait_idle+0x62/0xd0 Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724237] [<c0201b8f>] cpu_idle+0x3f/0x90 Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724240] handlers: Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724241] [<c04e9430>] (ata_bmdma_interrupt+0x0/0x1c0) Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724247] [<f86918a0>] (bttv_irq+0x0/0x4a0 [bttv]) Aug 20 18:11:05 pc kernel: [21360.724259] Disabling IRQ #17 Aug 20 18:11:06 pc kernel: [21361.215009] bttv0: timeout: drop=4 irq=1597979/2100005, risc=32f9101c, bits: VSYNC HSYNC OFLOW RISCI Aug 20 18:11:07 pc kernel: [21362.225132] bttv0: timeout: drop=13 irq=1597990/2100016, risc=32f26954, bits: HSYNC OFLOW Aug 20 18:11:07 pc kernel: [21362.825132] bttv0: timeout: drop=18 irq=1597996/2100022, risc=32ec45f4, bits: HSYNC OFLOW Aug 20 18:11:08 pc kernel: [21363.425130] bttv0: timeout: drop=23 irq=1598002/2100028, risc=3205e5f4, bits: HSYNC OFLOW Aug 20 18:11:09 pc kernel: [21364.025130] bttv0: timeout: drop=28 irq=1598008/2100034, risc=32ec45f4, bits: HSYNC OFLOW Aug 20 18:11:09 pc kernel: [21364.625009] bttv0: timeout: drop=33 irq=1598014/2100040, risc=3205e5e4, bits: HSYNC OFLOW ...

IRQ # 17 information: 17: 1701 1704 IO-APIC-fasteoi pata_jmicron, bttv0 (same on 11.3 and 11.1) I thought it might be one of the problems of kernel 2.6.34 and installed 2.6.35.1-1-desktop, but the problem persists. The message about disabling IRQ comes from "spurious interrupt" handler. I've googled and saw that people complained on interrupts disabling with different kernel versions, but in most cases the reasons were either bad HW or unsupported modes of HW. In this case I believe HW is OK, since I do not see the issue in 11.1. Any idea on how to investigate this issue?

[opensuse] Cannot mount Olympus x-750 camera
by Robert Schweikert 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

Hi, Just noticed that I cannot get my Olympus X-750 camera mounted on openSUSE 11.2 and openSUSE 11.3 when I connect the camera via USB. Same camera with same cable mounts with no problem on a system running openSUSE 11.1. When I connect the camera the USB connection is detected and a dialog is displayed providing options to take action. When selecting F-Spot an error is displayed "Cannot write to port". When selecting a Nautilus file browser window, the Nautilus window is displayed and apparently the content is recognized as picture data as the window displays the following message: "The media contains digital photos" and a button to start F-Spot is shown. However, the following message is then displayed (from Nautilus): "The folder contents could not be displayed. Sorry could not display all the contents of "FE190/X750": Failed to get file list: -35: Error writing to port" Also when I run "fdisk -l" the device does not show up in the list. Any help/ideas in fixes/debugging this problem is welcome.
