Hi .. Well one more fopar not too big but dang irritating all the same In my address book i have groups setup so i can quickly filter out what i dont want now having moved to 11.3 and KDE4.4.4 where are the groups they have all gone and i cant find any mention of them anywhere , How o i get them back they are there because they are needed not for someone to come along and thow in the can Also where is all the configuration of Kaddressbook 2 things thats all contact actions > pick web browser or phone dialing skype or external app the LDAP well i dont use LDAP and i doubt most home users use LDAP where are the settings . This is a very very big backward step i cant remember it being this bad for a long time if this is thanks to the non functioning (running but for what) then i suggest we move away from it and lets get back with something that works and if that means multiple metadata staks then so be it this is a no hoper right now Pete . -- Powered by openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.34-12-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) "release 2" 07:52 up 10 days 21:50, 2 users, load average: 0.14, 0.07, 0.03 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] GUI Login Cycles but doesn't log in
by Wayne Hammond 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

I'm revisiting this problem. OpenSuse 11.2 or 11.3 Nvidia 6200 Samba Server - xfce interface Initially all is well. I enter all the Samba Passwords, then restore from an earlier drive, /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/samba/smb.conf and /srv /srv has all the data files and directories. No Home Directories. After that I cannot log in to a GUI, only console is available. The GUI login tries, but just cycles back to login. Not critical because it's a Samba "File" Server, but I would still like to know how to fix it...? P/S I tried using zypper to add the nvidia repository and driver. That went well - no errors, but after that it doesn't even try to bring up a GUI login, it goes straight to the console. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

One of my 11.3 test-systems filled up a disk with /tmp/kde-per/kconf_updateNNNNNN.tmp files - they appear to be empty, so I'm just going to delete them, but what's happening? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Dear all, To install the Lexmark printer on my SUSE 10.3 , a script to run to create some virtual queue of the print but there is some wrong as below: This script uses a set of system connands which may be in a different location of your system.The section on "System Commands" specifies the location of these commands The following system command(s) were not found: File missing -- /usr/bin/enable File missing -- /usr/bin/disable HOW TO FIX ---------- This problem can be easily corrected by manually editing the script [ /usr.lexprint/bin/.scripts/shared] and modify the System Commands section. I link the file /usr/bin/enable and /usr/bin/disable -->/usr/bin/accept as someone told on the BBS. After that ,I can success to add printer(find it from network) and create the print queue.but can not to enable it. No any other error log. Any one can give me some help ...thanks (Embedded image moved to file: pic13555.gif) Regards Kalvin Weng AT&S (China) Co.,Ltd Tel.: +86 21 24080509 Email: k.weng(a)cn.ats.net This e-mail and any attachment may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

Hi .. Well i dont even know how to begin this one as i have a feeling it is very region specific but here goes anyway. I am using VLC to view TV my card is one of the Haupague cards i will be watching tv perfectly ok then for no reason it just stops displaying certain channels , These are all the BBC channels and it is spread across Tv and Radio but as i say only BBC stuff if i shut down VLC open it up again then rescan the channels it will be ok for maybe a day or so then the same thing happens . No matter what i do it will not work with the previous playlist file nor using the xine channels.conf file I have reported this on the VLC Linux forum as well any ideas at all ? makes no sense at all to me .. purley because it only effects BBC stuff ..

[opensuse] crontab
by Bob Williams 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi, What is the correct way to edit the system crontab file? I know I've done it in the past, because I have /etc/crontab which contains all my backup routines. Is it permissible to edit it with any editor (eg. vim, kate), as root? I've tried issuing ~ # crontab -e but that just creates a new, blank file. I think I'm getting too old for this :( Bob -- Registered Linux User #463880 FSFE Member #1300 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 11.3, Kernel 2.6.34.12-desktop, KDE 4.4.4 Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz, 8GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 9600GT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How do I make a Wifi connection
by A. den Oudsten 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

I have been struggling to configure my Wifi connection. I understood from previous threads that I have to remove NetworkManager.state and to do rcnetwork restart to be able to configure the Wifi connection with NetworkManager. This did not lead to success. So now I intend to make a fresh 11.3 installation, remove NetworkManager.state and do rcnetwork restart. Then I'll do a NetworkManager guided install. Can anybody tell me what's wrong in this approach? André den Oudsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Strange problems with libjpeg
by Ilya Chernykh 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Yesterday some strange problem appeared: some programs which deal with jpg files fail to do it with sometimes the following error in the console: libpng error: Not a PNG file Most notably, I cannot start Savage XR: it fails to load maps stored as jpg files locally. It seems all necessary packages for working with jpeg are installed. What me to do now? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Fwd: How do I config "startx" to give me a desktop?
by Greg Freemyer 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

What do I need to do to cause startx to give me a lxde session? == details This is a server I recently upgraded 11.3. CLI only historically. I just added the new lxde pattern via yast. (No gnome / kde / etc.) init 5 lets me login with a lxde desktop session, so I appear to have the core software installed and working. But this is a server and I prefer to leave it at init 3 most of the time and run startx if I want a lxde session. Unfortunately, that just gives me a bare bones X screen. ie. Solid color screen which I can left click on and get a basic menu to create a xterm, etc. Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer Head of EDD Tape Extraction and Processing team Litigation Triage Solutions Specialist http://www.linkedin.com/in/gregfreemyer CNN/TruTV Aired Forensic Imaging Demo - http://insession.blogs.cnn.com/2010/03/23/how-computer-evidence-gets-retrie… The Norcross Group The Intersection of Evidence & Technology http://www.norcrossgroup.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Dynamic DNS problem
by Koenraad Lelong 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi, I use a dynamic DNS, i.e. I want the dhcp-server to update the master's dns-server's records. Then this master updates the slave's records. This worked fine but now the update does not work anymore. I found out when I tried to create a static record. I restarted both the dhcp-server and the dns-servers. On the master I got this message : named[23503]: zone 168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN: journal rollforward failed: journal out of sync with zone named[23503]: zone ace-electronics.be/IN: journal rollforward failed: journal out of sync with zone Actually this is the second time I get this, last time a few months ago. Then I just deleted the journal-files and restarted the dns-server. I could do this again, but I wonder if there's a better way to restore the updates. And important : why would this happen ? Any hints ? Regards, Koenraad Lelong. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
