[opensuse] Ooffice time question
by James Hatridge 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hi all, Is there a way I can get the hours and minutes difference bewteen two times? For example if a guy works from 3:30am to 12:00am how would I get that he worked 8 hours and 30 minutes? Thanks!

[opensuse] DPI setting for ATI fglrx driver (Opensuse 11.3)
by Christoph Bartoschek 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hi, I have a monitor with native 109 DPI. However the fglrx driver always uses 96 DPI. The result is that the fonts look to small. How can I get fglrx to use the correct DPI. I've added the Option "DisplaySize" to my xorg.conf: DisplaySize 597 336 In the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file I see that the driver sees the correct size: [ 4455.379] (II) fglrx(0): clock: 241.5 MHz Image Size: 597 x 336 mm but some lines later I see: [ 4455.426] (II) fglrx(0): DPI set to (96, 96) The desktop is then started with 96 DPI. There is no "-dpi 96" argument to the X server. How can I convince fglrx to use the correct DPI setting? Alternatively, how can I get KDM4 to add the option "-dpi 109" when it starts the local X server?

[opensuse] Digest verification failed

Am trying to upgrade xbmc but every time I get the response Digest verification failed for xbmc-9.11-2.pm.13.8.i586. I have tried numerous times but without avail. Is there something wrong with Packman because I get the same information with MPlayer-1.0rc4_r31930-1.pm.3.4.i586 Would it make sense to look into another Packman repository? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.3 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.37-rc8-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.5.4 (KDE 4.5.4) "release 9" 15:06pm up 16:59, 2 users, load average: 2.85, 2.39, 2.28 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] booting from a duplicated hard disk
by Sampsa Riikonen 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Dear List, I have duplicated my hard disk using "dd", including the boot partition to another hard disk (a sata drive in a usb box). Now I am trying to boot from this duplicated disk, but nothing happens.. grub does not start at all. I googled around and found these two posts: http://www.idlecool.net/how-to-clone-the-linux-root-file-system-and-set-up-… http://stackoverflow.com/questions/247030/ Based on those, I tried the following: 1) My current (original) root partition is "/dev/sda4" (mounted at "/") 2) The root partition at the (duplicated) usb drive is "/dev/sdb4", mounted at "/media/disk-17" 3) I login as the root and give the commands mount --bind /dev /media/disk-17/dev mount --bind /proc /media/disk-17/proc 4) Then I give the command chroot /media/disk-17 If I have understood correctly, now "/" will be "/media/disk-17" = "/dev/sdb4" But the system sees "/" as "/dev/sda4" Next I type: grub-install /dev/sda And get the following output: -------------------------------- Probing devices to guess BIOS drives.

I have been using a local dictionary, until a few day ago, with no problems. The dictionary can be reached by a web browser pointing at http://localhost:9000. Recently, probably following the installation of a mysql-related package, my dictionary cannot be reached any more. Here is the message i get: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111) I am using kde 4.4.4 opensuse 11.3 Any hints to solve my problem? thank you -----p -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
