[opensuse] Missing warning about use of btrfs in release notes
by Martin Helm 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Today (it was not the first time probably but the first I noticed) the forum received a help request from a user with broken btrfs file system on 12.1. During the discussion it turned out that there is nowhere a warning in the release notes that this file system is experimental and does not have proper repair tools. I knew that from discussions about btrfs I followed, the person who had the problem did not. My question: How shall we help such an user, I simply pointed him to the mailing list. But my main concern is why is this nowhere mentioned in the release notes? Even in contrast to that the "Top features" advertise the new snapper which can even be misinterpreted by the reader as a further hint that btrfs is production ready or even recommended. If my assessment is wrong I am sorry, if not I would be happy to know if such a warning at a prominent place can be added to avoid that in the future (on the download page, change to realease notes?). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Hp Photosmart Prem c410 Problems
by Swapnil Bhartiya 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Hi, I have been trying to move to openSUSE from Ubuntu. I have managed to install nVidia drivers. But I am struggling with HP's Photosmart Prem c410 device. Its printer/fax/scanner. openSUSE can't detect it as a scanner while under Ubuntu everything is by one click. I tries to search for c410 under scanner setting but it fails to detect despite pointing to the right model. I am trying to connect over the WiFi. Help appreciated. -- Swapnil Bhartiya Editor: Muktware.com Skype: No Way...its non-free.

[opensuse] openSUSE Can't Mount Android 3.x/4.x Devices
by Swapnil Bhartiya 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Hi, As we know Android 3.x/4.x uses MTP which is not very well supported under Linux. When I connect my device using Gnome, while I can see the content and folder there are several issues: 1. I can't see content inside the folders thus all the images that I take from my Android device can't be copied to my PC. 2. I can create new folder and drag and drop content inside those folder -- such as movies. But once I disconnect the device and connect again, I can't see inside those folders as well. With Galaxy Nexus, Android 4.0 will be the mainstream OS for Android, we need to support it so that users are not left to use Windows/Mac Ironically KDE can't even copy paste data inside the tablet. So, its bigger issue in KDE. I have tested all the online manuals none work. I have Samsung Galaxy 10.1 and am planning to buy Galaxy Nexus. -- Swapnil Bhartiya Editor: Muktware.com Skype: No Way...its non-free.

[opensuse] Motif application crashes with 12.1 (glibc problem?)
by Christoph Bartoschek 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Hi, I have to use a motif application that relies on openmotif22-libs. I have only a binary of the application. The problem is that the application crashes on startup on opensuse 12.1. It works on 11.2, 11.3 and 11.4. It also worked on older opensuse and redhat versions. The debugger gives me the following traceback: #0 0x0000000000000000 in ?? () #1 0x00007fb32d0b6ec8 in _IO_vfprintf_internal at vfprintf.c:1739 #2 0x00007fb32d15edb7 in ___vsprintf_chk at vsprintf_chk.c:87 #3 0x00007fb32d15ecfd in ___sprintf_chk at sprintf_chk.c:33 #4 0x00007fb32cb79d7d in sprintf at /usr/include/bits/stdio2.h:34 #5 _XmOSInitPath at Xmos.c:1271 #6 0x00007fb32cba9cce in XmGetIconFileName at IconFile.c:614 #7 0x00007fb32caca05f in GetImage at ImageCache.c:1310 I've checked the call to sprintf in motif and I am sure that it is ok. Motif also did not change that much from 11.4 to 12.1. Therefore I assume that a change in glibc causes the problem. Has anyone an idea what can cause the problem? Was there any suspicious change in glibc? Christoph -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Email dist lists - advice
by John 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

We have opensuse 11.4 and have been using KDE as the desktop over many suse releases. The problem is that my wife is active on a number of community groups and needs to send a considerable variety of emails to various groups or sub-groups Early on she had distribution lists setup in Kmail and all was working OK. That was quite a while ago. In the past couple of years we have moved through opensuse versions to 11.4 and upgrading KDE on the way to v4.6.5 with Kontact 1.13.6 & Kmail 1.13.6 and using the default addressbook. She has had to resort to basically entering the addresses manually which is rather slow . Is there any simple way with the current versions we are using to setup distribution lists? Or could list members suggest an alternative mail client that does a better job with distribution lists. Congratulations to the dvelopers on the imminent realease of opensuse 12.1 Thanks, John Canberra, A.C.T. Australia -- _ John -- -- John Canberra, A.C.T.

[opensuse] Regarding development questions.

I wanted to know which ML would be the right one for general software development. I want to dig in more to development, but am very amateur and thus would have various questions. Such as the API, questions about the IDE (KDevelop) etc. I wanted to make sure I didn't inadevertently misuse a ML in this matter. -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Ambassador Ind.

[opensuse] 12.1 and /dev/ttyS# problem with mythtv
by terry 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

For some reason I have problems trying to install mythtv under opensuse 12.1. I posted a similar message in the mythtv forum however I think this is related to some changes in opensuse. ref: opnseuse 12.1 3.1.0-1.2-desktop mythtv 0.24 dct-channel v 1.7 HDPVR Motorola cable box Problem: the channel change script to use the serial port connected to the STB does not work. /dev/tty5 is present, permissions are OK, when call it to change channels hangs before DCT. $ channel -p /dev/ttyS5 -vv 12 cursor moves to the next line and produce no errors and stays there. If I $ channel Communication failed after 5 tries 0 Which show channel is working but /dev/ttyS0 (default) is not connected which is correct. Description. I have a machine with dual boot, having opensuse 11.4 and opensuse 12.1 in two different HD. Everything works Ok under opensuse 11.4 which ruled out BIOS setup as a problem. I did 2 clean installation in 12.1 with the same results. The pci serial card is recognized # dmesg | grep Oxford [ 1.726854] 2 ports detected on Oxford PCI Express device - ttyS5 is present in both - setserial gives the same result in both :~> setserial /dev/ttyS5 /dev/ttyS5, UART: 16950/954, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 18 - the udev info is ALMOST the same in both #udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/ttyS5) every line in both OS is the same with one exception that the following line is present only in 11.4 ATTRS{modalias}=="pci:v00001415d0000C158sv00001415sd0000C158bc07sc00i02" but i do not think makes any difference ? # dmesg | grep serial [ 1.569725] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 1.720562] serial 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 [ 1.752498] serial 0000:07:01.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 same in both OS versions # dmesg | grep tty [ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled [ 1.569725] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 1.711140] 00:08: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 1.720714] ttyS4: detected caps 00000700 should be 00000500 [ 1.720718] 0000:04:00.0: ttyS4 at MMIO 0xfb601000 (irq = 18) is a 16C950/954 [ 1.736566] ttyS5: detected caps 00000700 should be 00000500 [ 1.736579] 0000:04:00.0: ttyS5 at MMIO 0xfb601200 (irq = 18) is a 16C950/954 [ 1.773294] 0000:07:01.0: ttyS6 at I/O 0xd080 (irq = 19) is a 16550A In summary the serial port is recognized and udev produces the device.
