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

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. Currently that is impossible in LibreOffice due to a font/line spacing difference between OO and Libre. I need help figuring out what the problem is while the Document Foundation works on the bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35803 Does anybody have any idea what is causing the difference in kerning/leading/spacing --and-- more importantly what I could use as a temporary work-around until the bug is resolved. 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. I have tested both Linux and windows versions of Libre and confirmed the bug is present in both (see bug for screenshots, etc...) What say the OO experts? -- David C.

[opensuse] Setting up Postfix/Cyrus Mailserver - File errors
by Jim Flanagan 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

I'm setting up postfix/cyrus imap on a new install of openSuse 11.4 (64 bit). Having a few problem, but before I get into the details of that, there is some strange problem that is causing cyradm and SMB/NMB to not run. When I try to run cyradm I get a message that login is disabled. The corresponding log entry in /var/log/messages is: Apr 5 19:22:46 jimmee master[15424]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/imapd Apr 5 19:22:46 jimmee imap[15424]: executed Apr 5 19:22:46 jimmee imap[15424]: IOERROR: opening /var/lib/imap/user_deny.db: No such file or directory Apr 5 19:22:46 jimmee imap[15424]: accepted connection Looking in /var/lib/imap/ there are some files there but not user_deny.db. Not sure what this is about. Another log entry related to cyrus and repeats frequently is: Apr 5 19:17:44 jimmee master[15280]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb Apr 5 19:17:44 jimmee ctl_cyrusdb[15280]: checkpointing cyrus databases Apr 5 19:17:44 jimmee ctl_cyrusdb[15280]: archiving log file: /var/lib/imap/db/log.0000000001 Apr 5 19:17:44 ctl_cyrusdb[15280]: last message repeated 2 times Apr 5 19:17:44 jimmee ctl_cyrusdb[15280]: archiving database file: /var/lib/imap/annotations.db Apr 5 19:17:44 jimmee ctl_cyrusdb[15280]: archiving database file: /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db Apr 5 19:17:44 jimmee ctl_cyrusdb[15280]: archiving log file: /var/lib/imap/db/log.0000000001 Apr 5 19:17:44 jimmee ctl_cyrusdb[15280]: done checkpointing cyrus databases Apr 5 19:17:44 jimmee master[2330]: process 15280 exited, status 0 The file /var/lib/imap/db/log.0000000001 is 10MB in size. Kwrite would not open it, I'm not sure how else to view that file. Also Samba won't start properly, and I'm suspecting what ever is causing the cyrus imap issue may be causing the Samba issue as well. When I try to start SMB it will not start, but the log shows: Apr 5 19:15:46 jimmee smbd[15223]: [2011/04/05 19:15:46.915759, 0] passdb/secrets.c:73(secrets_init) Apr 5 19:15:46 jimmee smbd[15223]: Failed to open /etc/samba/secrets.tdb Apr 5 19:15:46 jimmee smbd[15225]: [2011/04/05 19:15:46.920246, 0] passdb/secrets.c:73(secrets_init) Apr 5 19:15:46 jimmee smbd[15225]: Failed to open /etc/samba/secrets.tdb Apr 5 19:15:46 jimmee smbd[15225]: [2011/04/05 19:15:46.920365, 0] smbd/server.c:1234(main) Apr 5 19:15:46 jimmee smbd[15225]: ERROR: smbd can not open secrets.tdb When I try to start NMB it WILL start, but the log shows, and keeps repeating every few seconds: Apr 5 19:16:49 jimmee nmbd[15245]: [2011/04/05 19:16:49.624795, 0] nmbd/nmbd_serverlistdb.c:343(write_browse_list) Apr 5 19:16:49 jimmee nmbd[15245]: write_browse_list: Can't open file /var/lib/samba/browse.dat..

This seems to me to be some file system problem or maybe a permissions problem, not sure? I switched to runlevel 1 and ran fsck, no errors reported (default EXT4, all mount points on / ). I have a separate box with also clean 11.4 install (32 bit) with none of these problems. All help appreciated.

[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.
