[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. I know pithos works on another distribution. Questions: Is the version of gstreamer we have in openSUSE 11.4 too old? That would be sad considering we just released.

[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

I'll delete the link the link to > DISCONTINUED, it caused broken spec files. Has coriander really been updated to the new IEEE1394 interface? 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?

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.

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] 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). Thanks for any suggestions or pointers where I might be able to read up on this stuff that a *layman* can understand...no 'man' pages please! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

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

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.
