[opensuse] LibreOffice - have to hit print "TWICE" before a document will print -- anybody else?
by David C. Rankin 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

Guys, Aside from the document spacing issue with Libre, I am experiencing a bizarre printing issue with Libre as well. For some strange reason, I have to hit the print button TWICE before a document will print. First time the print button is pressed - nothing -- the hp laserjet 4100n just sits there idle. Hit print for the second time and -- presto, the printer springs to life just like it should. I have tried printing from other apps in kde kate/kwrite/kpdf, etc.. and everything prints on the first click of the print button. But... not with Libre. Any ideas about what could be causing this? The printer itself is a 4100n attached to the network via the HPDirect network controller that is built into the printer. It is configured via cups on the network server at work and prints fine for everything except libre. The printer has a fixed IP of 192.168.7.21 and the /etc/cups/printers.conf on the server 'phoenix' is: # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.4.6 # Written by cupsd on 2011-04-15 12:42 # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE WHEN CUPSD IS RUNNING <Printer dcr4100n> AuthInfoRequired none Info HP Laserjet 4100n Location David Office MakeModel HP LaserJet 4100 Foomatic/Postscript DeviceURI socket://192.168.7.21 State Idle StateTime 1302889341 Reason toner-low-report Type 8400916 Filter application/vnd.cups-raw 0 - Filter application/vnd.cups-postscript 100 foomatic-rip Filter application/vnd.cups-pdf 0 foomatic-rip Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer Attribute marker-colors none Attribute marker-levels 7 Attribute marker-names Toner Cartridge HP C8061X Attribute marker-types toner Attribute marker-change-time 1302889340 </Printer> <snip> I doubt the printer config has anything to do with it since I can print fine with all other apps. Has anybody seen or heard of this type of problem before? I would like to collect as much info as I can to help the guys as the document foundation find out what is going on. So what say the printing gurus? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] After motherboard chage, OS thinks that the old board is still in
by Stefan Gofferje 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

Hi, I have a pretty weird issue here. I just ran an update from OS11.2 -> OS11.4 and after that, most of the hardware doesn't work anymore. hwinfo shows me now several devices which belong to the old board which I threw out like 1,5 years ago. Interesting enough, if I boot the rescue system, hwinfo shows the correct hardware information. Just if I boot from the updated system, it shows all the devs from the old board. The machine in question is my main server here at home, so I would prefer NOT to do a full reinstall. Setting up all the services again from scratch would take days of nonstop work! Where might hwinfo get the weird hardware data from? Posting logs or outputs is rather impossible. USB devices are not recognized and neither is the NIC. --Stefan -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje | SuSE Certified Linux Trainer 2001 //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | vmware Certified Professional V_/_ Linux is like a Wigwam - No gates, no windows, Apache inside -- GMX DSL Doppel-Flat ab 19,99 Euro/mtl.!

[opensuse] Gstreamer help needed
by Robert Schweikert 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

Gstreamer experts, I am playing around with Pithos (pandora desktop client) and am getting the following errors: ERROR:root:Gstreamer error: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in., gstdecodebin2.c(3135): gst_decode_bin_expose (): /GstPlayBin2:player/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstDecodeBin2:decodebin20: no suitable plugins found The count for dcodebinX goes up to 27, just in case this means anything.

[opensuse] Cannot boot SUSE Studio image on real hardware
by Ilya Chernykh 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

A SUSE Studio Live CD image works well inside the Studio, but does not work on real hardware. The system boots, and even some error windows appear on the X screen which indicates the video driver is working. But the messages say some files are missing. If to switch to console it becomes evident that a half of needed files are missing from the file system. Some basic commands do not work, for example, rpm --help says that the rpm library has "invalid ELF format". The same message occurs when trying to execute some other commands. I thought this could happen due to damaged media, but I verified the content. I also tried on two different computers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

When openSUSE dropped the older dc_control library, I would have guessed that coriander was no longer going to work. Perhaps the coriander team have now updated the application. I have to do the same for our own application. It is the only thing that keeps our primary app off 11.4. But we know we need to change the code.

[opensuse] Error trying to build drivers
by John Bennett 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

Don't know whether anyone can help, but... Purchased a USB 2.0 DVB-T Stick that also does DAB. Wasn't really going to use it on linux, bought it for the wife (win7 :-( ) but noticed that it actually came with "Linux Drivers". It's an "Ezcap USB 2.0 DVB-T Stick with FM & DAB" and, I must admit, works very well in Windows. The Linux drivers entail an install.sh executable and a bz2 file. The executable basically extracts the bz2, and makes the driver, which all goes OK for a while but then I get an error: /home/Software/EzyCap/v4l_rtl2832_install/v4l-dvb-b88d4f790cd6/v4l/config-compat.h:4:28: fatal error: linux/autoconf.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. I believe I have all the kernel dev headers and stuff installed.... Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks; that's good news, I'll give it a try. > 32-bit flash and java are supported out-of-the-box via nspluginwrapper > and in fact provided via the non-oss repo on x86_64 openSUSE. Well, judging from postings here, 32-bit flash via nspluginwrapper does currently not work in quite some situations. There was even some threads here for the last few days. The usual recommendation is to use 64-bit flash beta instead -- but that is not supported with security updates, and thus not a choice for me. Concerning Java, I didn't mean Java-plugin-in-browser, but Java as in Sun-1.5.0-VM-that-runs-Tomcat-or-JBoss. ;-) That choice of technology ain't mine, but those of my customers. I'm not aware that nspluginwrapper helps here, or does it? Anyhow, I'll install a 64bit system, and see if my few 32bit-apps that I need will install and run there. Thanks a lot for your answer, they helped me a lot.

I have two buffalo linkstations running on my network has anybody ever used one? They seem only to support afp, smb and ftp. I am guessing they are using a linux kernel apache mysql and others but I can't seem to share via fish or nfs. I can ssh into the devices but when I authenticate they drop the connection. How can I mount them so I can access them via console as well as via dolphin os it better to use windows samba or apples file protocol? Why such a device doesn't support nfs is beyond me.

[opensuse] Can't see Samba shares in My Computer -11.4
by Jim Flanagan 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

I think this is a different issue than the Samba/AppArmour one. My desktop fails to find any Samba shares on the local network. I open My Computer>Network Folders>SMB>"workgroup"> the system looks but times out finding any shares. It sees the workgroup, but no shares under that. If I type smb://"computername" it will show the share. It just can't seem to show them by browsing. All other computers on the local LAN find the shares with no problems, including the share on the 11.4 install which can't find them. This happens on both a 32 bit and a 64 bit install. An older opensuse 11.0 install shows them all, as does my macbook, as does Windows 7. Basic clean install (both 32bit and 64 bit) KDE. (AppArmour is disabled in Yast). Thanks for any assistance.

[opensuse] Installing/using 32bit userland programs on 64bit openSUSE?
by Joachim Schrod 13 Apr '11

Hi, Does openSUSE 11.4 supports using 32bit userland applications in an x86_64 installation? With "support" I mean: 32bit libraries are available, don't conflict with its 64bit counterparts, and are pulled in as dependencies by zypper if I install the i586 package. The background of my question: I need to use i586 versions of Java and Firefox/Flash. This prevented my switch from i586+PAE to an x86_64 installation. If there would be the possibility to install and use these applications with the needed i586 arch while the rest is x86_64, then I could revisit that decision.

[opensuse] SSL/TLS on Postfix/Cyrus server
by Jim Flanagan 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

I've got my new install to handle basic smtp/imap. Clean 11.4 install, Postfix/Cyurs imap/SASL using plain text passwords. Now I need to set up SSL/TLS. In the past I've used self rolled certs, but I think I'd rather use some free certs like StartSSL. I beleive they do authenticated certs for one years duration. In any case, do I need one cert, or more than one? In the past for email I've used mail.domain.com for both IMAP and SMPT, but that was not with an authenticated cert. Do I need one for each service, and another for WWW? I installed the yast2-ca-management but haven't done anything with it yet. I'm also not sure where to place them when I get them done, but a common location seems most logical. So, I'm not sure where to start to produce the certs, or where to install them. Any help or pointers to a good opensuse/cyrus flavored resource would me much appreciated. Thanks to all who helped with getting me this far.

[opensuse] suse 11.4 + xorg = 100% cpu
by Roy F. Cabaniss 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

I switched from suse to ubuntu when kde 4 became the default desktop on suse. I just did a SuSE 11.4 install from ubuntu 9.04. I have suse 11.3 running at home with no real problems. After installing 11.4 I noticed that KDE was a bit laggy. Slow to respond to mouse clicks and change of screen / desktop. Then it became slow to the point of total non-response to a mouse, keyboard or any other method of imput. After a couple of hard reboots I started up top to try and track things down. I have a quad core with 4 gig of ram and kernal 2.6.37.1-1.2 xorg 1.9.3 nvidia 260.19.44 firefox 4.0b12 vmware workstation 7.1.4 kde 4.6.0-6.6.2 All desktop effects are disabled. First of all... when I first start the machine xorg goes to over 25% and stays there. One core is pretty maxxed out. Nothing running at all in terms of programs I have started. Just a plain kde desktop. As near as I can tell it will keep one core close to max forever. Start firefox with about 4 tabs open and we are now over 80% and pegging up to 100% with two or three cores maxxed out. If I leave firefox alone it simply stays that high. Wave a mouse over firefox and it's now at 100% cpu on each core. Basically it seems as though any movement of a mouse over any program can peg a core to 100% in xorg. If I start vmware (which I need and use), merely starting it will result in two cores roaring to max. Actually running vmware and starting a virtual window (with xp in it) will result in all 4 cores being over 90% split between vmware and xorg and as long as I have a virtual machine running the cpu stays around 90% for every core. Even if nothing really is happening in the virtual machine. After all is said and done I am thinking the start of the problems is between xorg and kde. xorg being @ 25% cpu with only kde going leads me there. I just am not sure what I need to back off / install latest to resolve this problem. One thing for sure. The machine is unusable in its current condition. Having to hit the manual reset button because nothing happens on the monitor for 5 minutes is not good. Would I be better to simply go with 11.3 and kde 4.4 or so or Selectively uninstalling or use a different desktop. (ohhh for kde 3.5 :-) Realize that just to do my normal work, I need vmware, a browser, email, openoffice, postgres and apache going. Up until suse 11.4 this was easily possible. -- Dr. Roy F.

[opensuse] 11.4 and vlc media player: why won't vlc start-up?

I just installed 11.4 with KDE (clean install, 32-bit version, off the DVD), and installed vlc which is my preferred choice as a multimedia application (for TV viewing, DVD viewing, capturing TV programs). However vlc will simply not start - the cursor bounces around but no vlc.

[opensuse] Which kernel should I have installed?
by Insomniac 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

I'm trying to eliminate the problems I've been having with my system lately. Because they happened 'suddenly', as in overnight, I'm now thinking hardware. I took out my SB Live! card and my GeForce GT210 PCIe card and now I'm actually able to type without it looking like I couldn't even spell the word 'I'. No more problem(s) with the letters keeping up with my typing or jumping ahead or adding 2 and 3 characters (which made it almost impossible to type in my root password when I needed to get into YAST). Anyway, onto the subject...the kernel that's installed on my (this) stock install is the kernel 'desktop'. In YAST software management, I see all kinds of 'kernels', but the explanation(s) of each aren't very helpful in my determining which one *should* be installed. My system: ASRock N68-S MOBO (luckily with onboard video!) 2GB DDR2 RAM (I memtested this last night and the RAM is fine) Athlon II X2 240 Dual-core processor (Is this a 64bit or not?) DVD burner and of course the SB Live! soundcard (which I hope isn't the culprit for all these problems lately!) Of all the kernels that are listed (desktop, coverage, default, rt, PAE, ec2, trace, vanilla), which would actually be the best for my system? I use this thing as my music player (got me some really, really nice 500W 5.1 speakers), watching DVD's, experimenting with software (nothing fancy, just if it looks interesting I'll try it. If it doesn't work I uninstall it.), just an everyday user I guess, no huge scientific stuff or graphics work (other than BOINC SETI@home...I run this 24/7/365).

[opensuse] How to set up X
by Wolfgang Mueller 12 Apr '11

Having installed Suse 11.4 on my new laptop, X does not start and startx does not work. Is there any other way to invoke X? How can I set up the configuration file for X? I did that so often years ago, but I forgot the name of the program. Unfortunately Suse keeps that secret in the 11.4 manual. Any hint would be welcome.

[opensuse] font wierdness in kdm on openSUSE 11.4
by Roger Oberholtzer 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

In my KDE login, the font used to show the login name and password (stars) is disproportionately large. It looks quite unprofessional. Where are the fonts for KDM controlled? Similarly, where is the resolution of the display defined fro KDM? It seems to often use a different resolution than X. And X is determining this automatically these days. So I guess KDM is as well? I looked in /etc/sysconfig, but nothing I saw looked like it was relevant. It has been this way both for the original KDE that shipped with 11.4, and the 4.6.1 release to which I have upgraded.

[opensuse] Flash elements have white blocks the blink and strobe?
by C 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

This is driving me crazy lately. Almost any page I go to lately (as in some about half way through the 11.3 release cycle until now) that has Flash elements has this nasty habit of showing white blinking squares all over the Flash element. For example this page: http://www.poodwaddle.com/clocks/worldclock/ uses Flash to animate the world clock. The white blocks are over the clock face, along the bottom of the Flash element, and along the right hand side. Other pages that have Flash video elements are sometimes impossible to watch because of the flashing and blinking. On some youc an't operate the video controls because they are covered by a strobing white block. I've disabled Hardware Accelleration in the Flash options - which did improve things a little on some pages. One thing I've noticed is that the Flash objects that do the white block thing tend to have the Options context menu greyed out... I don't know if that's a factor. Anyway is anyone else having this issue? Is there a workaround or tweak to fix it? (No, FlashBlock is not an option) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.3 not shutting down...
by Insomniac 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

Okay...forget the sound problem. My system just won't shut down. It sticks at a dark gray screen until I hold the power button down and shut it off. Doing that makes the reboot nauseatingly slow. Another thing I've noticed happening - sometimes, not always, typing is anywhere from a second to a few seconds behind what I'm actually typing, *OR*, typing in the root password when I start YAST...sometimes the typing goes crazy and two or three characters will come up when I've only hit one key on the keyboard. Any ideas at all what this could be?

[opensuse] 11.4 sound system worse than 11.3?
by jsa 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

In 11.4 with my Intel High Definition Audio HDA Intel (STAC92xx Digital), I can no longer mute the sound via the mixer. You can't even turn the sound off with the Keyboard controls built into the laptop. The 11.2 sound system implements the LFE channel on this chipset. The Low Frequency Effects channel really does add a lot to the sound quality but neither the master Volume control or the Mute button controls the LFE channel. If you use LFE channel at all, you can't mute it or control volume in the normal way. So when you want to mute sound, you have to open the Kmix mixer and click two mute buttons. (The Alsa Mixer can't control the LFE channel at all). Anyone have a work around other than killing off the LFE channel? And where did the trebble / Base settings go in Kmix? This thing has taken a real step backwards in the last release. -- Explain again the part about rm -rf / -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KV8-Max3 hardlocks installing 11.4
by Larry Stotler 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

I've run into an interesting issue on my son's desktop. It's: Athlon 3200+ KV8-Max3 512MB DDR (1 x256MB, 2 x 128MB all 400Mhz) nVidia GeForce FX5600/256MB The install starts fine, but when it gets to "activating usb devices..." the system hardlocks. It does it everytime. I've disabled the onboard SATA Raid controllers. I do have a Promise IDE RAID card in it. The system has XP(fulled updated) on it and runs perfectly fine, so I'm not leaning toward a hardware issue. I've tried: 11.4/x64 - standard and safe settings 11.3/x64 - standard loads the kernel to 67% and stalls but reboots sometimes. Otherwise, it and safe settings hardlock. Knoppix 6.0.2/x32 - hardlocks after loading the kernel and resetting the video.

[opensuse] The future of KDE
by Basil Chupin 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Can anyone provide an answer, please, to what the future of KDE is considering that gnome has gone #3 but will not be used in such a distro as Ubuntu, to be replaced by Unity. And I don't know what the future holds for openSUSE. What's the future of KDE in openSUSE, will it remain and be in place for at least several years or be replaced with something like Unity or Gnome #3 in the foreseeable future or within 6 months time (whichever comes first)? (Reason for asking is that I don't want to invest time and effort in getting KDE in 11.4 configured only to find that KDE will be replaced with something as unproductive as gnome 3 or Unity.)

[opensuse] Suddenly awful sound and...
by Insomniac 09 Apr '11

09 Apr '11

opensuse 11.3, stock kernel, nvidia with the 256.53 (which is working fine) Hi, I woke up this morning and like I usually do I opened up Dolphin, went to the folder with all my music, found a song I wanted to listen to as I dressed and started to play it. The sound was *horrible*! The song was playing, but it sounded awful, like it was someone scratching a record or something. I thought it was exceedingly strange, but figured a reboot should 'fix' it. Reboot didn't work because the system wouldn't shut down. I normally leave my system running 24/7/365. I've shut it down a few times since I've had 11.3 installed and *most* of those *few* other times, it did the same thing...it just hanged at a dark gray screen (not black). Once I waited half a day to see if it would clear up and shut down - it didn't. I had to hard boot, which I know is very bad, but I had no other choice. Once I got back to startup, now the system startup (fast boot) is slower than molasses in January. It used to pop through and get me to my desktop in 30 seconds or less...now it's taking almost 3 minutes, and when it does get back to my desktop, the sound is still horrible. What could have happened overnight to make my system suddenly useless like this? I've looked at the msg.log thing in /var/log, but I don't understand it enough to get anything out of it unless it specifically said 'YOUR SYSTEM IS ABOUT TO BLOW UP' or anything along those lines. Is there some kind of bug that's keeping my system from shutting down or restarting? (downloading a new kernel is prohibitive because I'm on dialup) If any other info is needed to help me figure out why *suddenly* my system has turned to garbage, please just shout out and I'll get it here.

[opensuse] Libre/OO kerning/leading spacing bug - makes re-creating OO documents Libre impossible - any help?
by David C. Rankin 08 Apr '11

Guys, A lot of my practice is word processing based. Key to that is the ability to re-create documents saved in .odt format.

Right now, I have had to stay with OO to preserve the ability to re-create pleadings/etc.... But, with everybody moving to libre, I would like to understand this issue a little better.

[opensuse] Thunderbird - Hylafax/Avantfax attachment name encoding problem??
by David C. Rankin 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

Guys (mozilla/email gurus), For some reason, the .gif thumbnail and .pdf attachments names are not being handle properly in thunderbird. When a fax is received by hylafax/avantfax, a thumbnail of the fax is created in .gif format as 'thumb.gif' and a .pdf of the fax is created as 'fax.pdf'. Both of these are included as attachments to the mail notification sent by hylafax/avantfax. The php code that defines this is: define('THUMBNAIL', 'thumb.gif'); <snip> define('PDFNAME', 'fax.pdf'); In the past, the fax notifications have come through with the proper attachments 'thumbs.gif' and 'fax.pdf'. Now, in thunderbird, instead of getting 'thumbs.gif' and 'fax.pdf', you get attachments of 'Part 1.1.2' (instead of thumb.gif) and 'Part 1.2' (instead of fax.pdf). I can save 'Part 1.1.2' as whatever.gif and save 'Part 1.2' as something.pdf and view them fine, but the problem is that something isn't working correctly in the attachment recognition in thunderbird. But what?? I have posted to the hylafax-user list and they have suggested it is an encoding issue in tbird. For grins, I have opened the emails in windows and they do come through as (ATT00007.gif and ATT00010.pdf) for example. That's fine, because the filetypes are correctly recognized. Looking at the mail source in thunderbird (binary encoding snipped), I find: Return-Path: <root(a)localhost.myhost.com> X-Original-To: david(a)myhost.com Delivered-To: david(a)myhost.com Received: by nirvana.myhost.com (Postfix, from userid 0) id 39AB75FDA7; Fri, 1 Apr 2011 15:07:16 -0500 (CDT) To: david(a)myhost.com Subject: fax: 936 715 9339 01.04.2011 15:07 X-PHP-Originating-Script: 33:htmlMimeMail5.php MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: AvantFAX 3 From: root(a)localhost.myhost.com Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="=_9d71f6ee924bb63526d75ca9fd0a9b8c" Message-ID: <lizp84.y7bdhw@localhost> Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2011 15:07:16 -0500 (CDT) --=_9d71f6ee924bb63526d75ca9fd0a9b8c Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="=_755182ba1ccf42f0a560b3fc2a49945a" --=_755182ba1ccf42f0a560b3fc2a49945a Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=_159082721b0660a7b446964764754149" --=_159082721b0660a7b446964764754149 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 RnJvbTogOTM2IDcxNSA5MzM5CmZheCBpZDogMTY4ClBhZ2VzOiAyCgoKCgp3d3cuMzExMXNreWxp bmUuY29t --=_159082721b0660a7b446964764754149 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 PGh0bWw+PGJvZHk+RnJvbTogOTM2IDcxNSA5MzM5PGJyIC8+ZmF4IGlkOiAxNjg8YnIgLz5QYWdl czogMjxiciAvPjxiciAvPjxiciAvPjxhIGhyZWY9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cuMzExMXNreWxpbmUuY29t L2F2YW50ZmF4LyI+QXZhbnRGQVggLSZndDsgMzExMXNreWxpbmU8L2E+PC9ib2R5PjwvaHRtbD4= --=_159082721b0660a7b446964764754149-- --=_755182ba1ccf42f0a560b3fc2a49945a Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-ID: <f0de29f18872bc1e5d0911e379bdcf5e> Content-Type: image/gif Content-Disposition: inline R0lGODlhUAA0APeAABsbGx4eHiAgICMjIyQkJCgoKCoqKisrKzAwMDU1NTk5OURERExMTF9fX2Fh <snip> CB1JvNqFdddGAVgUxgm670DiydbWW2Q5PJxkrlUMm72qjeYvvBx37DFtAQEAOw== --=_755182ba1ccf42f0a560b3fc2a49945a-- --=_9d71f6ee924bb63526d75ca9fd0a9b8c Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Type: application/pdf Content-Disposition: attachment JVBERi0xLjQKJcfsj6IKNSAwIG9iago8PC9MZW5ndGggNiAwIFIvRmlsdGVyIC9GbGF0ZURlY29k <snip> RjhDNUY4RkJCMzIwOEZGNz5dCj4+CnN0YXJ0eHJlZgo1MTU1MAolJUVPRgo= --=_9d71f6ee924bb63526d75ca9fd0a9b8c-- Looking at the source above, I see that the content type looks correct as: Content-Type: image/gif Content-Type: application/pdf The mystery is why is thunderbird not listing these attachments as .gif and .pdf?

[opensuse] Thinkpad x200 suspend to ram issues in 11.4
by R. Tyler Croy 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

I'm hoping this is the appropriate list, if not, flame away :0 Anywhoo, I've consulted this page thoroughly: <http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Suspend_to_RAM> If I execute `s2ram -f` I can suspend just fine and resume *twice*, the third time seems to always fail to suspend properly. X11 seems to lock up and I cannot switch to a virtual terminal either. It seems fairly reproducible on the third time as well. What can I do to track down what's causing the failure to suspend? I don't want to pull the ripchord and go back to 11.3 or prematurely jump to Tumbleweed (not quite ready for it yet), so what are my options here? Cheers - R.

I have confirmed that the fonts used are the same in the font listbox, so if something isn't being seen and is being substituted - it is hidden from the user. I think this is just a default number problem in either kerning, leading or spacing. Something is different between Libre and OO and it is a bug somewhere that will hit every user that relies on being able to re-create documents that were created and saved in OO... I know there are some strange numbers in the code. (like the 0.49" tab setting). There is probably another similar number at the bottom of this spacing issue where the lsb was accidentally delete of something weird like that. -- David C.

[opensuse] Considering 11.4 again but first ..........
by Tony 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

I update to 11.4 back in march but had to take all my systems back to 11.3, 11.4 is not usable, for me, due to 2 key problems I ran into. First one is in the following bug posts https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665720 and https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=680297. There appears to be no fix yet, but curious if anyone knows, how stable the work around using the RUN_PARALLEL="no" is. Second issue: amd cpu based desktop locking up at random with no error messages. The only symptom is there are a lot of [900.000017] [Hardware Error]: No human readable MCE decoding support on this cpu type errors in syslog and the numerical number is different each time. I used the nomce option which does stop the error messages, but the amd cpu based desktop is still unstable, with random lock ups. I like to upgrade 11.4, but for now, 11.4 is not usable, so I stay on 11.3 Thanks, Tony -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, I have very bad problem here. I have opensuse 10.0 machine. After hw issue, the /boot partition got corrupted. I made an image of all the partitions to a new hdd. All of them pass fsck without any problems, and all the files are there. But /boot fails fsck, and after repair vmlinux is lost, initrd is lost etc. I have an image of the partition, so I can play with it as much as I can. Is there a way I can rebuild /boot, like if I boot a live cd, then chroot maybe to the original / partition, etc. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Artificial Intelligence is no match for natural stupidity. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Do the requirements cited above include Intel i3 and i5, or are these processors lower than Pentium* III? 2. Do the requirements cited above include AMD Phenom II X4 N950 Quad or is this Porcessor lower than than Pentium* III?

Or just ignoring it? Of course we all know the links are broken and why. Of course we all know there are other ways to get the info. Of course it's old news. But being old news does not make the problem go away. It's still bad today despite being old news. Every new day it's bad all over again just like the first day. I'm sorry it's annoying to keep hearing the same complaint, but everyone else suffers the breakage anew every day so why shouldn't the breakers suffer the complaint anew every day as long as their damage keeps being a problem? It's not like this was some natural disaster or accident. It was an conscious and voluntary act. But forget me, the breakage hurts SUSE anew every day rather a lot more than myself or any single user. Countless broken links with suse's name on them do not make a good impression to people searching for answers to problems and finding only a broken link, when they are already in a poor state of mind from whatever the problem is they were having that sent them googling for answers. The point is that the people that broke everything don't seem to think that this is somehow bad. They say "gee just report the breaks". I say that's completely stupid, but ok fine here is yet another one. There are not merely many, but literally countless, as in there is no way to count them, and far too scattered for that to be even remotely possible. You can't find all the references to the old wiki that have been put into other documents in the world. We're not just talking other web pages but countless internal company documents, printed books and hard copies, personal notes and scripts and install media and livecd's and programs and support db's ... There was and still is a way for users to help fix everything, but it's not useful as there there is no way to know what needs to be fixed. It's an open ended forever job with no way to know when you're done. They pulled the trigger and switched more or less at random, after the new wiki had been up "a while" and "a lot" of stuff had been remapped, and "not many" or "no major" reports of gaps. All nice subjective meaningless terms in place of useful quanta. But a couple things ARE possible. It IS possible to know what are all the urls the old wiki provides and ensure they all work in some fashion before switching. A big job but a finite and knowable one and the largest part of which can be farmed out to users. The wiki admins can write and run a program to trawl the old wiki db and associated web pages and cgi's and compile a list of all possible old urls. Users and admins can then all work on that list until it's gone. Even easier than that, why isn't the 404 page simply trying old-en on the fly for every request that doesn't exist in the new wiki? It could try swapping in old-en, and if the result exists and isn't old-en's 404, then transparently serve up the old-en page and log the discovery in a bugzilla or or other db that not only admins but users could work on. It could even keep a hit counter for each miss/hit so you'd know which articles to fix first. As a natural by-product that would also have the appearance of fixing all the internal links within the old wiki too as well as external ones. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.4 startup issues
by John Perry 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

A week or two ago, I upgraded from 1.3 to 11.4 on my wife's computer. It's an Intel I5-650 in a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 motherboard. Aside from the niggly little things that I'm gradually getting worked out, there's one big problem that I see no way to solve: the network interface usually comes up on a restart at 10mbps/half duplex (it also did this under 11.3, but not as often). Yast won't touch it, since I use NetworkManager, and I'm completely unable to find a way to fix it under NM (I also tried without success using ifconfig during an episode of trying to make xen work). The only way I've found to get back to 100mbps/full duplex has been to reboot into Windows, which comes up correctly, then reboot back to opensuse desktop (opensuse xen _always_ comes up in the slow speed, but I'm not yet ready to blame it all on xen). Gigabyte says the network interface is RTL8111D. hwinfo says it's RTL 8111/8168B, using driver r8169. Is there a way to fix the Ethernet speed using NM or ifconfig? Or, more to the point, is there any way to solve this? John Perry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] horrible perfomance problems with powerful laptop
by Oliver Kullmann 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hello, finally, the performance of Suse 11.3 (all updates applied) on my laptop (i5 quadcore, 4GB) is so awful, one needs to find out the reasons (or change the distribution, or whatever). I hope I find some help here. According to my experience, it's best to start trying to establish some real facts (which, unfortunately, seems to be already a non-trivial endeavour). One basic problem, which I already encountered with previous Suse versions, is that the frequency setting doesn't work: after a few days of running, at least one of the four cores will be set to a lower frequency. To eliminate this (but see below) I set in the BIOS "no frequency scaling". The frequency shown in Ksysguard since then is constantly "2,394 MHz" (but this can't be; see below). Another basic problem is that (reliably) after "sleeping" or "hibernation" the process scheduling doesn't function properly anymore, and typically all processes (whatever the numbers --- I tried hundreds) are scheduled only on two or sometimes even only on one core, while the other two or three cores are idle. Of course, would be great if this malfunction would be treated (finally, I thought Linux would be about speed; apparently these problems don't occur with the windows 7 still on that Laptop (though I don't really run that)). But to ignore that, and for the following I have always rebooted the Laptop (as if it would be windows). Direct after reboot everything is exactly as it should be. I have various computers, on which I perform (a lot of) scientific computations, where I can measure the times reliably, and the times are as they should be. But after a few days of running (and I have tasks, which necessarily run over weeks) performance becomes very weak. It doesn't show up on Ksysquard (or top), there the percentages and frequencies are the same, but for example Kde sticks like glue (reaction time for any button press at least a second, and if you wait for another week, it's 5 seconds; scroll bars become unusable). More reliably, the computations I run become a factor of 5 to 10 (in words, five to ten(!)) slower. Just running one process, memory usage about 50%. So nothing goes on, except that performance is awful. To make these numbers more trustworthy to the outside world, is there some standard (simple!) Linux tool/command to measure some (very) basic performance? I don't mean an elaborated benchmark set, but just a very simple common program, where people know what the running times should be? The only explanation I have for the slow performance is that the frequency goes down dramatically (without Linux noting it), and that can be demonstrated with something very simple. Of course, I have my own programs to run, and I can write a simple C program, but I guess it would make communication much easier if one would have a standard program. Hopefully we can shed some light on that. Thanks for your consideration.

[opensuse] zypper dup 32 bit -> 64 bit ?
by Roger Oberholtzer 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

I have installed the 32-bit version of 11.4 on a system. I have decided that I would like to try the 64-bit version. I expect that the only way to do this is to do a re-install. But I thought I would ask if there was an alternative. Anyone know of one? Perhaps I will generate an autoyast description of my system, and change it to specify a 64-bit version, and then do the install with that. Any other suggestions welcome. It is not a production system.

[opensuse] Looking for two RPMs for 10.3
by Roger Oberholtzer 03 Apr '11

03 Apr '11

I need to backport some software to openSUSE 10.3. As luck would have it, the only 10.3 system I can use has slightly newer versions of two packages than came with the original 10.2 distro. I need runtime/development RPMs for: glibmm2-2.16.1-19.2 libsigc++2-2.2.2-4.1 I looked at the suggestions in http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mirrors#EOL_Mirrors but these specific versions were nowhere to be found. I would also be happy with source RPMS for these versions and I could make my own installables. I see that they were built in the build service. So maybe there is hope someone has a copy. So, I am wondering if anyone just happens to have these RPMS hiding somewhere.

Hello, I would like to know which OpenGL extensions are supported by an installed system. Is there a program that lists them?

[opensuse] [SOLVED] Howto Get Thunderbird to Open Links in Firefox 4
by David C. Rankin 01 Apr '11

Guys, Hopefully this will save others the grief it caused me. After upgrade to Firefox 4, clicking links in an email to http:// https:// etc... did nothing. It was a complete PITA copying links from email and pasting them into the browser (middle-click paste anywhere in the page) After looking, I found an answer on the Arch Linux bbs. Basically, in tbird, you must: (1) Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Config Editor: search: "network.protocol", locate: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https ** set each to "true" AND restart Thunderbird (2) send yourself an email with a good link for each eg.: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=115524&p=1 ftp://mirror.services.wisc.edu/mirrors/mysql/Downloads/ (3) click on the link in your email, the navigate to /usr/bin/firefox and choose "[x] remember my selection" or whatever it says; and then links in Thunderbird emails will once again open in firefox as they should. It looks like some links or something were forgotten as part of the FF4 update. Wolfgang - can FF4 be fixed to do this automatically on update? -- David C.
