[opensuse] Screen flickers every ~30s
by auxsvr＠gmail.com 12 Mar '11

12 Mar '11

Hi, I'm using 11.4 here, and the screen flickers every 30 s in KDE4. It is possible to trigger this by stopping and starting the "Display Management change monitor" service in KDE service manager, although stopping the service doesn't eliminate the flicker. I should also add that this didn't occur with factory some weeks ago. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone know of a way to make this stop?

[opensuse] perl under apache2 downloads scripts instead of executiing
by Lucky Leavell 12 Mar '11

12 Mar '11

OS: OSE11.2 with OSE versions of PERL and Apache2. I was trying to install LedgerSMB and got to the point of trying to invoke the application but it downloads the PERL script instead of executing it. I tried adding an application preference in FireFox but nothing I've tried works. Here is what I've tried: 1. Verified that files and directories have permissions that allow access and execution 2. Added the following to the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file: Options +ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script .pl 3.I had intially softlinked ledgersmb to /srv/www/htdocs but removed the link and copied the app to htdocs. Please tell me what I am missing here. Thank you, Lucky Leavell -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Oddball 12 Mar '11

Hi, Amarok seems to crash random, that is i have not found a specific reason for it to crash. Bugreporter does not trigger rootpasswordrequester to download debugsymbols. (Kpatience bugreporter, same mechanism does work appropriet.) How to handle next? -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)

[opensuse] 11.4 and ftp repositories
by Robert Klein 12 Mar '11

12 Mar '11

Hi, I'm experiencing some problems with ftp repositories: it seems, zypper can't get media information from yast2 and rpm-md repositories on my installation(s). When I add a repository: zypper ar -t rpm-md -n mpip ftp://10.20.70.16/repos/11.4/mpip mpip it gets added 'successfully', but I can't use the repository: zypper se xyzzy File '/content' not found on medium 'ftp://10.20.70.16/repos/11.4/oss' Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i/?] (a): i Error retrieving metadata for 'oss': File '/content' not found on medium 'ftp://10.20.70.16/repos/11.4/oss' Warning: Disabling repository 'oss' because of the above error. File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'ftp://10.20.70.16/repos/11.4/mpip' Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i/?] (a): Error building the cache: Can't provide /repodata/repomd.xml Warning: Disabling repository 'mpip' because of the above error. Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... No packages found. The warning message is also issued for repositories used during installation. I can use the repositories 'refreshed' during installation (suppressing the error messages by using the --no-refresh messages), but not the newly added repo (probably because it got never refreshed). This is not only a issue of my local repositories, but also occurs if I add, e.g. the nvidia repository (ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.4/) I didn't find anything on Google about this, is anyone else experiencing this? Thank you very much. Best regards, Robert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.4 - Rocks - Great Job Devs!
by David C. Rankin 12 Mar '11

12 Mar '11

Guys, 2nd day on 11.4. (one day was lost due to a radeonhd bug for RS690M chip set [Radeon X1250 cards]) All I got to say is -- it rocks! Good job devs. Big jump from 11.0 to 11.4, but now I won't spend as much time hunting for rpms just to get things to build again :) Its a "blueslate" theme for kde3 this time: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/ss/kde/opensuse_114-blueslate.jpg Good looking desktop. -- David C.

How do I make knetworkmanager start automatically? In 11.3 it just appeared. In a fresh install of 11.4 I have to start it each time I boot from a command line. Thanks L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] nvidia 11,4
by lynn 12 Mar '11

Nouveau driver: not good. Unistall it and get the real 260 Nvidia drivers from the nvidia repo. Then it flies notflickers.and it has sharp text and wobbly windows if you want hem. But hey, the nouveau Team did a great job getting this far, So a few beers to them too. After uninstalling and reinstalling only a reboot would make it take effect. There must be an easier way;) L x. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.4 yast-qt error
by Marco Calistri 12 Mar '11

12 Mar '11

Mates, Fresh upgrade (through DVD) from 11.2 to 11.4 64bit. Start to customise all the environment... a) Installed both Gnome and KDE during installation settings b) Choose to use previous HDD not system partition (/home, /data1 /data2) and just formatting/installing the root partition 1) First System Reboot failed (I suppose due a failed user creation/configuration) then corrected as super-user 2) Changed the yast GUI from auto to qt and seeing same error as per 11.2 whenever closing yast: Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkTreeView::odd-row-color' of type `GdkColor' from rc file value "((GString*) 0x15f9cc0)" of type `GString' The rest is still to be evaluated but first glance is pretty good! Cheers, -- opensuse 11.4 - Linux 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology MK-36 - GeForce Go 6150 Gnome 2.32.1
