[opensuse] [11.4 RC1 64bit]-Very buggy?
by Jesse Palser 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Hi, I installed OpenSUSE 11.4 Release Candidate 1 64bit (Gnome Desktop version) into VirtualBox under Ubuntu 10.10 64bit. Seems like there are many problems with this RC. - Many of the icons in the menu are missing. - The Gnome panel loses its icons after rebooting. (changing theme seems to fix this issue temporarily) - Running Add/Remove Software disappears when updating. Anyone else having this issues? Guess I'll wait until RC2 is released.

[opensuse] Executing shell scripts from Konqueror web-browser
by Bob Williams 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Hi, I have a local webpage which displays music album covers from my music collection. Each album cover image is clickable, pointing to a file such as file:////home/bob/AlbumBrowser/Scripts-BHF/ImeldaMay_LoveTattoo-Play.sh which, as you can see is a shell script. The script makes MPD play the album (it could just as easily feed the *.flac or *.mp3 to mplayer or amarok, etc). When I left click on an album cover in Firefox, the music plays, as expected. However Konqueror insists on asking me whether I want to use Kate, Kwrite, or some other text editor to open the *.sh file. Right clicking opens a context menu, which includes the option to 'Open in bash' which is helpful, but I'd like to just left click and have the action executed. I've tried Settings > File Associations > applications > x-shellscript, where I've added bash to the top of the list in Application Preference order, but Konqueror still asks me which editor I want open the shell script in. All the shell scripts are executable. I've googled, but in this case google was not my friend :( Any suggestions, please?

[opensuse] Mirrorbrain failures over Brazilian opensuse Mirrors
by Marco Calistri 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Mates, In order to avoid an error (IPv6 like, IMHO) I had to modify the default repository URL "download.opensuse.org" to "ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/". I suppose this is a local problem here in Brazil where the main URL were redirected on Brazilian openSUSE mirror which apparently is failing the connection.

[opensuse] Tumbleweed with Trinity?

http://en.opensuse.org/Tumbleweed doesn't mention the subject. Is it doable, at least theoretically?

Ahem ... svnversion *is* the standard way. You would have to explain first why you can't use it; i.e., what are your constraints concerning your personal definition of `SVN standard'.

[opensuse] howto - better quick and dirty way to get svn rev of local copy?
by David C. Rankin 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Guys, I want a quick and dirty want to get the svn revision of a local svn module. What I'm currently doing is: #!/bin/bash getsvnrev() { msg "Determining SVN revision for $pkgname..." [[ -d .svn ]] && echo $(sed -n '4p' .svn/entries) || echo 9999 } pkgver=$(getsvnrev) It works fine, but is there a standard way (no not svnversion) to read the local version other than the backwards way I'm doing it? -- David C.

[opensuse] adjtime in openSUSE 11.2
by Istvan Gabor 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Hello: My system clock tends to stray (1-2 minutes within a week, or so) So far I adjusted the time manually using the command: # sntp -r ntp1.ptb.de then setting hwclock # hwclcok --systohc I would like the system automatically set/keep the time. I also discovered that there is no /etc/adjtime on my system. Is that normal? Where could I find a decent description on how to use 1) adjtime method for keeping time, or 2) sntp in case when the system is turned off and on frequently and is connected to the net occasionally only.

[opensuse] Can't startx without root priviliges.
by lukaspress＠googlemail.com 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

Hello all, my first mail so hope i'm doing this right. My problem is that I like to boot into rl3 by default, then start Xorg with startx. It doesn't work though, i get errors saying "no xauthority. xxx", "can't find screen.." etc, and that I should set the setuid bit. I can't find log files anywhere to give detail on the errors sorry. xinit gives a slightly different error, but still something about authority/permissions. The only way I can start X from console is either via logging in as the root user, by using sudo, or by switching on the setuid bit on the Xorg binary (which is suggested in the startx error message). So the only sensible way I can get X as a normal user is to set default boot to rl5 in inittab. I'm new to SUSE but not new to gnu/linux, and this doesn't seem like 'normal' gnu/linux bahaviour to me. So is this a problem with my installation (11.4 RC1) or is this the intended behaviour? Guys on IRC seemed to think it was a bug, but if so why the 'informative' error message suggesting I set the setuid bit?
