by Marcus Meissner 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Hi folks, The openSUSE maintenance team will be updating Mozilla Firefox from 3.5.11 to 3.6.8 in openSUSE 11.1 and 11.2. The updates are already in the -test update repos and will be put online some time next week. If you want to test, you can. (The -test repo is where we stage our updates. Only for experienced users. http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.2-test/ for 11.2 and http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.1-test/ for 11.1 (and http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.3-test/ for 11.3, but 11.3 already has the current Firefox though) Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] is there a tool to reduce image dimension by removing empty spaces?
by Zhang Weiwu 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Hello. Is there a tool existing that can reduce image dimension by removing empty spaces? Attached to this email post are two images, one original, the other I want it reduce to. the "Zealous Crop" feature in gimp would not work up to the expectation because it reduces either the space in the whole column or not. Consider the case in my original picture, to reduce the width, in the first row of buttons, the space before/after "Help" and before/after "Quit" should be removed, in the second row, the space before/after "Manual Page" should be removed, but these spaces to be removed do not overlap in some places, thus a Zealous Crop would be successful in removing all the space before "Help", after "Quit", and some space before/after "Manual Page", but won't be able to effectively remove the space after "Help" and before "Quit". Is there already such an software tool that can do what I want? Thanks in advance! Zhang Weiwu P.S. I know posting with image attachment is not welcome on mailing list but in this case both images together are less than 1kilobyte, thus keeping it somewhere on the web look more troublesome than just to attach them.

[opensuse] Repositories and priorities
by Anne Wilson 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

I'm a long-time KDE user, familiar with Fedora and new to OpenSUSE. I find I am getting far fewer updates than expected, with huge numbers of packages apparently protected against updates. I understand the principle, but would value some help in finding documentation about the various repositories and setting priorities, since I assume this is my problem. Amongst other things I would like to move to KDE 4.5, which I had in Fedora. Anne -- KDE Community Working Group New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

[opensuse] Printer problem. HP D4160 via HP 4100 series driver...
by Joe(theWordy)Philbrook 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

I currently have 4 Linux distributions installed on this HP Pavilion desktop. I installed this same USN printer to all of them using the HP 4100 series driver. And all work as expected except for some reason when I'm running OpenSuSE 11.3 I have a problem with multi page printing. With OpenSuSE I installed the printer via Yast2 With PCLinuxOS I had to use printerdrake With Xubuntu & Arch Linux (As well as the now defunct Elive installation I replaced with OpenSuSE) I was able to install via the cups web interface at http://localhost:631/. I can print anything that fits on one page. But if there is a second page it winds up as a single large black ink smear. As if every single printable character (Including spaces and tabs) had been redefined as a solid block. Left and right margins And indents remain clear But every single line of text is a solid black smear... If I'm using a gui application such as open office I can print multiple page documents by printing _ONE_ selected page at a time... But I shouldn't have to split up a three page document into three separate commands. And that doesn't help when I want to do a: lpr asciitextdoc.txt where asciitextdoc.txt is more than one printed page long. I suppose I could use a kludge script like: #!/bin/bash #mylpr (a simple text file splitter/printer script to get around print driver # problem on OpenSuSE where second page of any print job is mangled) split -l 55 -d $1 mylpr_out. for prnfile in $(ls mylpr_out.*) do lpr $prnfile done rm mylpr_out.* But I really dislike such inelegant solutions. Does anyone have a clue what could cause this??? Or more importantly how to fix it??? -- | ~^~ ~^~ | <?> <?> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | \___/ <<jtwdyp(a)ttlc.net>> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Missing gnucash docs
by Anne Wilson 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

When running Gnucash, Help tells me that it is not available, since gnucash- docs does not seem to be installed. Searching tells me that it is installed, but if I browse to /usr/share/doc/packages/gnucash-docs the guide and handbook are not there. OTOH I can see /usr/share/omf/gnucash-docs/gnucash-guide-C.omf and /usr/share/omf/gnucash-docs/gnucash-help-C.omf which I suspect may be what is required. Is there a missing link, or something, to enable the application to find the documentation? Anne -- KDE Community Working Group New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

[opensuse] zypper/yast, aria2c and ironport
by Roger Oberholtzer 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

There was a thread a while back about aria2c and devices like IronPort. Seems they do not play nice together. It is related to IronPort requiring the entire file at once so it can check for viruses and such. I got the powers that be to let me bypass the ironport, and all was well. I have a few other systems where I cannot do that. An alternate solution was to have yast/zypper use a slower alternative method that does not split the files. I reviewed the thread (http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/SuSE/2010-03/msg00414.html) but I do not see where it told how to set this up. I know it was mentioned at the time, but I can't seem to locate this. It is for openSUSE 11.2. Does anyone recall this, or maybe know how to configure this? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] Problem compiling driver
by Mark Misulich 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hi, I am trying to install the driver for my ethernet card on my laptop, and can't get it to build right. So I need some help to figure this out. I don't recognize what is causing the error when I try to "make clean modules." I have enclosed the readout from terminal for you to look over. The system is 11.3, with the default kde4 at fresh install. The driver that I am trying to compile is for a Realtek r8101 ethernet card built into the motherboard. The kernel-desktop was installed automatically at install. I couldn't make the driver with that kernel, so I uninstalled that kernel and installed kernel-default. I still have the same errors. Along with kernel-default I have kernel-default-base, and kernel-source installed. Here is the readout: make clean modules make -C src/ clean make[1]: Entering directory `/home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src' rm -rf *.o *.ko *~ core* .dep* .*.d .*.cmd *.mod.c *.a *.s .*.flags .tmp_versions Module.symvers Modules.symvers Module.markers *.order make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src' make -C src/ modules make[1]: Entering directory `/home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src' make -C /lib/modules/2.6.34-12-default/build SUBDIRS=/home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src modules make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.34-12-obj/x86_64/default' make -C ../../../linux-2.6.34-12 O=/usr/src/linux-2.6.34-12-obj/x86_64/default/. modules CC [M] /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.o /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c: In function ‘rtl8101_get_ethtool_stats’: /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:1239:2: warning: ‘DMA_nnBIT_MASK’ is deprecated /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c: At top level: /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:1332:2: error: unknown field ‘get_stats_count’ specified in initializer /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:1332:2: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c: In function ‘rtl8101_init_board’: /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:2438:6: warning: ‘DMA_nnBIT_MASK’ is deprecated /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:2442:3: warning: ‘DMA_nnBIT_MASK’ is deprecated /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c: In function ‘rtl8101_init_one’: /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:2786:5: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘open’ /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:2787:5: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘hard_start_xmit’ /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:2788:5: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘get_stats’ /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:2790:5: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘stop’ /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:2791:5: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘tx_timeout’ /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:2792:5: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘set_multicast_list’ /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:2796:5: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘change_mtu’ /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:2797:5: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘set_mac_address’ /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:2798:5: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘do_ioctl’ /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:2813:5: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘poll_controller’ /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c: In function ‘rtl8101_open’: /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:2926:2: warning: ‘DMA_nnBIT_MASK’ is deprecated /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c: In function ‘rtl8101_hw_start’: /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:3183:2: warning: ‘DMA_nnBIT_MASK’ is deprecated /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:3185:2: warning: ‘DMA_nnBIT_MASK’ is deprecated /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c: At top level: /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:433:1: warning: ‘rtl8101_phyio_read’ defined but not used /home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.c:481:1: warning: ‘rtl8101_ephy_read’ defined but not used make[5]: *** [/home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src/r8101_n.o] Error 1 make[4]: *** [_module_/home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src] Error 2 make[3]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.34-12-obj/x86_64/default' make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/lxmark/Realtek/r8101-1.013.00/src' make: *** [modules] Error 2 Thanks in advance for the help! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Xorg process taking 30% of processor
by Bob Williams 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hi, I have a process running as root which is taking 25 - 30% of my processor activity. Htop tells me it's /usr/bin/Xorg -br :0 vt7 -nolisten tcp - \ auth/var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-j1o7xa It's obviously something to do with the graphic display, but it would seem to me to be using too much of the main CPU. I have a quad core, 2.8GHz processor with 8Gb Ram, and no particularly graphics intensive software running (Kontact, Firefox, Amarok, gkrellm, Krusader). The graphics card is nVidia GeForce 9600GT. I'm running openSUSE 11.3 and KDE 4.5.

[opensuse] Knotify4 crashes in KDE 4.4.4
by arygroup＠gmail.com 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Knotify4 crashes in KDE 4.4.4. I use kopete and when new message comes, the notification window looks strange. When I press "open", it almost always crashes (KDE debugger runs with segmentation errors). It seems was working ok till my unsuccessful try to switch to KDE 4.5. But the same problem I met at fresh opensuse 11.3 system. I'm not sure, if it's a kopete problem, because I don't get other notifications to check it. Does anyone has any suggestions what to do? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
