[opensuse] Kde network manager plasmoid pain still hurts
by Mark Misulich 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

Hi, I installed opensuse 12.1 on my Toshiba U505-S2950 yesterday with the default KDE 4.7.2 in use. I used it yesterday and today and have been thinking it is a great new version, EXCEPT for the kde NetworkManager-plasmoid when I try to connect to wlan. I looked through the mailing list archive, and found one thread called "kde network manager plasmoid pain" that parallels my issues. I have to put in the root password sometimes, and the wpa password always after booting. Besides that, it doesn't always see my wireless network when I am in the other room, but it always sees my neighbor's network somewhere in another county. I can't always connect when it does finally agree that my network really only lives one room away. I see that Will Stephenson wrote an answer that effectively answered the archived thread, and I paraphrase when I say it read "the check is in the mail, and fixes just came out." In my case I am all updated, but the fixes haven't worked. So I gave up on NetworkManager and went to ifup. But I am writing to see if someone could respond with current good news on fixes for networkmanager, or instructions on how to get it working right.

[opensuse] perl module install question

I'm trying to install perl-IO-Compress from OBS, but it says I need perl 5.14.2 The strange thing is I have perl 5.14.2, so I'm confused.

[opensuse] BASH - rankinism - best way to trim string and add ellipses (or other char)?
by David C. Rankin 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

DH, All, I want a function 'ellipse' that will take a string 'str' and trim it to length 'len' and set the 'end' number (default = 3) of characters to 'chr' (default='.'). So if I call it like this: myvar=0123456789 echo "mydefvar: $(ellipse $myvar 7)" echo "mynewvar: $(ellipse $myvar 7 3 '*')" I get: mydefvar: 0123... mynewvar: 0123*** What I have come up with is the following, but I would like comment on how to make it better, etc.. Is there a way to eliminate the for loop and just use string substitution to overwrite the last 'end' number of characters with 'chr' that would be more efficient? What says the brain trust. ellipse() { # validate sufficient parameters passed [[ -z $1 ]] || [[ -z $2 ]] && { echo "ERROR: Insufficient input in fxn ellipse"; return 1; } str="$1" lim="$2" end=${3:-3} chr=${4:-.} # validate integers [ $lim -eq $lim ] 2>/dev/null || return 1 [ $end -eq $end ] 2>/dev/null || return 1 [[ ${#str} -gt $lim ]] && newstr=${str:0:$((lim-end))} { for((i=$((lim-end));i<$lim;i++)); do newstr=${newstr}${chr} done echo "$newstr" } || { echo "$str" } } -- David C.

[opensuse] nvidia on 32-bit openSUSE 12.1
by Roger Oberholtzer 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

I had to replace my really nice 64-bit 12.1 install with a 32-bit version. Don't ask why. I did a list of the installed RPMs on the 64-bit install and then installed them on the 32-bit with zypper. Worked a charm. Except... The nvidia proprietary driver does not load. There is an error message in the X log that says the nvidia driver could not be loaded. Details are sparse. I think it is because the nouveau driver is installed. I see that there is a file called /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf that contains "blacklist nouveau". I did a reboot, and the driver is still installed. Could there be some error in the initrd? Otherwise, why would the driver still be installed? The nvidia RPMs are from OBS. Thay are: x11-video-nvidiaG02-290.10-13.1.i586 nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-290.10_k3.1.0_1.2-12.1.i586 nvidia-computeG02-290.10-13.1.i586 What did I miss? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kernel source in oS 12.1
by Istvan Gabor 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

Hello: In openSUSE 12.1 the kernel source in /usr/src is: # du -sh linux-2.6.31.14-0.8 412M linux-2.6.31.14-0.8 In oS 12.1: # du -sh linux-3.1.0-1.2 70M linux-3.1.0-1.2 That is 70M vs 412M Is this normal? What makes this difference? I have these kernel packages installed: # rpm -qa|grep -i kernel kernel-devel-3.1.0-1.2.1.noarch kernel-desktop-devel-3.1.0-1.2.1.i586 kernel-desktop-3.1.0-1.2.1.i586 Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
