[opensuse] Cannot type text in Libreoffice
by James P. Bland 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Using the rpms from the repository or 11.4 DVD I am unable to enter text in any Libreoffice app. I can cut and paste text though. This is a fresh install of 11.4, but also had the issue in 11.3. I was able to work around it in 11.3 by downloading and installing rpms from the LO site. I'm at my wits ends here. Can anyone help?

[opensuse] first look at 11.4 - livecd
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Trying very hard to put aside my anti kde4 prejudice and give 11.4 a fair chance. so i dl'd the kde live cd and booted from it. It seems that everything worked, but the striped screen with apparently different scale on adjascent stripes looks weird, is that supposed to be normal? Then I tried to click on some things like firefox and office, firefox seems to take for ever and a day to do anything. My cpu is a 2.4 ghz -4 core intel job and i have 8 gb of ram, the internet connection is thru roadrunner cable, so i am not used to watching the firefox ball bouncing up / down and leaving contrails on the screen if i move the mouse. Is this due to the nouvew (sp?) driver for the 8600 nvidia card? is the general rather serious sluggishness the result of that driver? if yes, is there a way to upgrade the driver in the livecd session? if yes, can someone please help? thanks in advance, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] x11vnc crashing X
by C 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

I use an ssh tunnel plus x11vnc to remote control my main computer (running openSUSE11.4/KDE4.6) at home. Lately - actually since I've installed 11.4 and the x11vnc from the repos (0.9.12) - when I connect and launch x11vnc, it usually brings down X within a couple minutes. This isn't limited to openSUSE... I've had the exact same issue on Ubuntu 10.10 last week. I've poked around with Google and discovered this has been an on and off issue for x11vnc for a long time, although it's never happened to me until I installed 11.4. So... I'm not particularly hung up on using x11vnc... I just use it because it (usually) works, and it's simple to launch from the command line. Is it worth chasing this issue? or does anyone have a suggestion for a decent alternative? My basic requirements are, I need/want to use an ssh tunnel to my computer, and run the VNC via that tunnel. My VNC session should connect to the existing running session, not start a new session.

[opensuse] Sound stuttering heavily
by Matthias Meyr 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Hi, since I installed openSUSE 11.4 sound is stuttering heavily. When the music is playing (e.g. a FLAC file with Amarok), it sounds as if my computer isn't capable of decoding the sound file fast enough. I have the same effect with different media players (Kaffeine, SMplayer, Amarok), Phonon backends (GStreamer, VLC, Xine) and file formats (FLAC, MP3). The same happens when playing a video on Youtube with the Adobe Flash Player within Firefox. I'm running openSUSE 11.4 with KDE and packages up-to-date. Everything worked fine under openSUSE 11.3. Thanks for your help in advance! Matthias -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Another NetworkManager problem...?
by C 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

I've sifted through the various 11.4 NetworkManager issues, and didn't find anything like the minor annoyance I'm having. I've got a clean desktop install of 11.4/KDE4 from the 64 bit LiveCD. I've ran all the updates and added a few Community Repos. I've set Networking to use NetworkManager (for a regular wired NIC) - I've done this because I use VPNs, and NetworkManager is a nice easy way to switch VPNs on/off. If the system is set to use ifup, then network is always working on boot. If the system is set to use NetworkManager, then network is not enabled after a boot. If I click on the NetworkManager widget, I have no networking options at all. If I go into the NetworkManager config, I can only access the VPN tab. All other tabs are greyed out. If I go to YaST, Network, and set it back to Traditional ifup, then network comes up immediately. I can then switch it back to NetworkManager, and network stays working, and I've got full access to all features of the NetworkManager until the next logout/reboot when I lose network again until I manually cycle it to Traditional and back to NetworkManager. So.... any thoughts on solving this one? It's a minor inconvenience since I don't restart or logout often, but.... it's something I'd like to resolve if I can.

[opensuse] Font aliases
by Valerio Mariani 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Dear All, it is my understanding that in OpenSUSE 11.4 the Liberation Fonts are used as default fonts and aliased to Sans, Sans Serif and Monospace. I would like to change this to use DejaVu fonts on my system. I know I can change the fonts in the Gnome and KDE appearance panels, and I already did that, but I would also like to change them in the whole system, so that when a 'Serif' or 'Monospace' font is required, it defaults to DejaVu. I read up a bit and I understand that this kind of configuration is in the /etc/fonts/ subdirectory. However, I don't understand exactly where the aliases are defined. It seems to me that the file suse-post-user.conf is where these are defined. However, if I look at the file, DejaVu fonts are already in the aliased lists and are actually higher in the lists than Liberation. So shouldn't they be used as default if available? Nevertheless this doesn't seem to be the case to me. Can someone help me please?

[opensuse] Mouse problems after update
by Ilya Chernykh 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

After a recent update the system cannot boot in graphical mode. The Xorg log file says [ 312.895] (EE) ioctl EVIOCGNAME failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device [ 312.899] (II) UnloadModule: "evdev" [ 312.899] (EE) PreInit returned NULL for "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse" The xorg.comf section is Section "InputDevice" # generated from data in "/etc/sysconfig/mouse" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection This config always worked well. Under root X loads well. If to manually force init 5 also loads well. How can I restore normal behavior of the system now? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
