[opensuse] Beware !! Really wonderful
by Bob S 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Hello SuSE people, This is really wonderful ! Be careful Last night I was running 11.4, installing apps, tweaking, etc When the updater applet popped up from the task bar telling me I had 31 updates and asked me if I wanted them. Said yes and off it went. Guess what now I am running asparagus 11.5 RC1. Out of factory no less, and I don't even have a factory repo. Now it won't boot to init 5 as a user, will only startx as root and won't recognize any of my installed repos. Really wonderful planning and testing. Just a little ticked off. How does one go about fixing this especially after going through all of the stages of 11.4 until it got to GM.

[opensuse] Advice on softphone
by Anton Aylward 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Can anyone suggest a softphone for a openSuse 11.3/KDE4.5 laptop? I can tell you what doesn't work! Yes I have the telephony repository set up Twinkle doesn't work Its a KDE3 applciation and yes I have the libraries loaded, but it complains it can't access my ALSA devices when it starts up. Funny, all my KDE4 applications can. When I try to go into the 'settings' it scrambles my screen in the way that David Rankin described a wile ago, and I have to restart the X server and login in again. Ekiga seems to be a gnome application. It also seems to have problems with getting a sound device to work. I'm trying Linphone but can't get it to register my sip address What is there that is KDE4 friendly? -- There are still places where people think that the function of the media is to supply information -- Donn Rottenburg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.4 x64
by John Bennett 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Have installed and so far am very impressed! Couple of minor issues, but generally 99% good - lovin' it! Quick, smooth, functional. And, have just found F4 in Dolphin! Probably been there forever, but I have just discovered it, and wondering how I ever did without it. Keep up the good work, John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Thunderbird patch caused it to stop working
by Terry Eck 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

I'm running OpenSUSE 11.3 and the system issued a security patch for both Firefox and Thunderbird. As a result, Firefox works fine but Thunderbird will no start. From the command line nothing happens, not even any error messages. Using the menu all I get is the bouncing icon and then nothing. Has anyone else installed the security patches today (3/11/11) and noted any problems. I'm currently using kmail which is ok but I don't have access to the mail archive or collected addresses.

[opensuse] OpenSuse 11.4 grub installation warning
by Sharique uddin Ahmed Farooqui 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Hi, Yesterday, I was trying to install to install OpenSuse 11.4, on installation screen it shows me warning "The boot loader is installing on a partition that does not lie entirely below 128 GB", is anybody else facing same issue? I faced same issue with 11.3. During 11.3 installation I ignored the warning an continue the installation and it did not install grub properly and leave my system unbootable. Later I found out that this a bug in 11.3, now it is fixed, it looks like it appears again. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=621497 Should I install Lilo instead of grub, will it resolve the issue?

Guys, I need to find the following compiz/emerald rpms for 11.3 that I want to try in 11.4: compiz-0.8.6-41.1.i586.rpm compiz-bcop-0.8.6-1.1.i586.rpm compiz-branding-openSUSE-0.8.6-41.1.i586.rpm compizconfig-settings-manager-0.8.4-16.1.noarch.rpm compizconfig-settings-manager-0.8.6-7.1.noarch.rpm compiz-devel-0.8.6-41.1.i586.rpm compiz-emerald-0.8.6-13.1.i586.rpm compiz-emerald-devel-0.8.6-13.1.i586.rpm compiz-gnome-0.8.6-41.1.i586.rpm compiz-kde4-0.8.6-41.1.i586.rpm compiz-plugins-extra-0.8.6-2.2.i586.rpm compiz-plugins-extra-devel-0.8.6-2.2.i586.rpm compiz-plugins-main-0.8.6-13.1.i586.rpm compiz-plugins-main-devel-0.8.6-13.1.i586.rpm compiz-plugins-unsupported-0.8.6-1.2.i586.rpm fusion-icon-0.0.1_080201-8.1.i586.rpm libcompizconfig-0.8.6-6.1.i586.rpm libcompizconfig-devel-0.8.6-6.1.i586.rpm python-ccm-0.8.4-16.1.noarch.rpm python-compizconfig-0.8.6-8.1.i586.rpm simple-ccsm-0.8.6-11.1.i586.rpm They are no longer in X11/XGL: where they were earlier. I see compiz 9.4 rpms in the Compiz repo, but I'm a bit wary of performance from 9.4 compared to 8.6. Does anybody know where I can find these? -- David C.
