[opensuse] Evolution as Data Source in libreoffice
by Teruel de Campo MD 23 May '11

23 May '11

ref: opensuse 11.4 LibreOffice 3.3.1 OOO330m19 (Build:8) tag libreoffice-3.3.1.2 Evolution 2.32.1 Problem: I can not see the evolution address books under libreoffice Evolution addressbooks are ok (I migrated them from evolution 2.30) Libreoffice is running well. View/datasources shows evolocal.odb under ~/.libreoffice/3-suse/user/database/evolocal.odb but is empty no tables no data. In the past the same was already populated with all the addressbooks data. I wonder if this is a problem related to the new location of evolution data: under evo 2.30 all the data was under ~/.evolution, now under 2.32.1 is under ~/.loca/share/evolution I have not been able to find any solution.

[opensuse] 11.4 - is 'tracker' 'beagle' in disguise?
by David C. Rankin 23 May '11

23 May '11

Guys, I restarted 11.4 and had a flurry of sustained hard drive activity and I took a look at what was running in top. I was quite surprised when I found: 4955 david 39 19 319m 18m 10m R 47 0.5 0:11.26 tracker-extract 4666 david 20 0 192m 19m 5788 S 38 0.5 0:19.49 tracker-store 4550 david 39 19 279m 22m 6604 S 8 0.6 0:06.54 tracker-miner-f <panic> tracker-miner-f? tracker-extract? tracker-store? Oh hell! Did my kids click on something they shouldn't have in Vista? (no - wait, this is my laptop and it's opensuse 11.4) WTF? Did I just get hit with a new firefox virus? </panic> So I go do a quick search for what was installed: 22:12 alchemy:~> rpm -qa | grep tracker libtracker-miner-0_10-0-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 libtracker-client-0_10-0-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 gnome-panel-applet-tracker-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 tracker-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 tracker-miner-files-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 libtracker-extract-0_10-0-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 tracker-gui-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 libtracker-sparql-0_10-0-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 nautilus-extension-tracker-tags-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 tracker-miner-evolution-0.9.38-3.6.1.x86_64 Look at what tracker says about itself: 22:13 alchemy:~> rpm -qi tracker Name : tracker Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 0.9.38 Vendor: openSUSE Release : 3.6.1 Build Date: Sat 19 Feb 2011 <snip> URL : http://projects.gnome.org/tracker/ Summary : Powerful object database, tag/metadata database, search tool and indexer Description : Tracker is a powerful desktop-neutral first class object database, tag/metadata database, search tool and indexer. It consists of a common object database that allows entities to have an almost infinte number of properties, metadata (both embedded/harvested as well as user definable), a comprehensive database of keywords/tags and links to other entities. It provides additional features for file-based objects including context linking and audit trails for a file object. It has the ability to index, store, harvest metadata, retrieve and search all types of files and other first class objects. Distribution: openSUSE 11.4 My next thought was - gnome? What is this thing doing running when I launched kde3? Where did it start from? More importantly - how do I get rid of it? Then it hit me: "Is this beagle in disguise?" I watched it for another couple of minutes and it quit. So what is this thing? Is it worth keeping? Should I just nuke it? What is the collective wisdom on whether it works or is it just another waste of cpu cycles and index db space? Thanks for any info you have. -- David C.

[opensuse] openSuSE 11.4: Suspend to RAM
by Peter Suetterlin 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hi List, I recently upgraded to 11.4 (coming from 11.2), but now I'm having some major issues with S2RAM. It seems to work on first hand, but every few days it won't come up again. When I press the power button the screen goes on, and I can see some lines talking about enabling and disabling non-boot CPUs, but that is all. Doesn't react on any keypress etc, I have to hard-shut-down using the power button. This *had* been working flawlessly in 11.2, I easily got uptimes of 50-60 days with daily S2ram-resume cycles, and never ever had this problem. Today I tried several sleep/resume cycles in a row. I saw some message PM: Device 1-5.1 failed to resume async: error -110 but thing were working. However, related or not, when working with the machine (gimp) it seemed to fall dead. I could move the mouse, but that was it. No keypress/click accepted. Remote login showed X was at 100%CPU. I tried killing X, which did work, but left the system unusable (just black screen). Needed another reboot. Anyone having similar trouble? Or an idea what to look for?

[opensuse] Re: My Laptop is running out of memory few minutes after boot
by Jonius 23 May '11

Hello, I have hp Pavilion dv6-2165tx laptop, 500GiB, 3GiB of RAM, dedicated nvidia GeForce(with CUDA) and Core i5 processor L3 cache, etc. I installed opensuse 11.4 and running KDE 4.6 in my laptop, but every time I boot it after some few minutes everything the system used to hang, I try to find out the problem only to find out that there was no memory at all left even before starting any intense applications like virtual box, etc. I had only 50,000K. After some days i came to realize that KMix was eating memory everytime I boot my system (slowly but after sometime it may have more than 1GiB of memory), I also find out that tracker-..... (I really don't remember the last name as there are several processes wich starts with tracker that eat my memory too) also do like KMix, and they eat around 700MiB accelerating from just 100K. What i always do is just to kill all these processes and am left with no control over my laptop sound (only to use alsa to control manually using cursor after lunching the application) Eventhough am able to kill all those processes, memory remain is still less than 500MiB and it keeps being eaten to few KiBs. I would like someone there to help me to fix all these problems. Thanks, -- Jonathan Seni.

[opensuse] 9.1 repair
by Tony Alfrey 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hello; I have corrupted my root user so that it does not recognize my password (complains about ICE authority). I can log in as a normal user but of course, files that belong to root are inaccessible. How can I repair the password for the root user? I assume that it will require the use of the install disk to somehow "rescue" the corrupted password issue? I have a somewhat complicated LILO boot loader configuration that hopefully I can avoid destroying (dual boot with Windoz, and two SATA drive controller with MBR on the first SATA drive and so on).

The old scanner does 11 x 17 for some very old song books and documents that I have. Up until now, I was using it on Windoze, however, if I could get it to work on Linux - the better I'll feel. The new scanner (all-in-one) is my production one. Ohhhhhh, a thought just hit me - since I already have VBox installed, I could setup a trimmed down version of Linux just to run the old scanner. P.S. I could have sworn I saw, somewhere, a way to be able to do something like this side-by-side - in real time.
