[opensuse] Personal settings problem in 11.3
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 13 May '11

13 May '11

Since some days I have run into problems with my personal settings. Information changed in the "Personal Settings(Configure Desktop)" are not saved properly and after a reboot inputs are close to defaults. Running Personal settings gives me a full screen with Opacity 50% without border. If I use Alt + F3 I can change opacity to 100% but as soon as I start using the personal setting opacity returns to 50%. I tried to get the border back but the button for this does not produce anything. I want to renew these settings. A renewal of desktop settings is nowhere offered. Which file should I delete and would a new running of this program automatically renew all settings? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.3 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.39-rc6-21-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.6.3 (4.6.3) 10:35am up 13:32, 3 users, load average: 0.97, 0.96, 0.98 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Not Cyrus IMAP ... or could be
by Yu Meng Chong 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hi all, So, now I have my little Cyrus IMAP server running and I've created a user and tested successfully using imtest. I decided to try to test the IMAP server by using telnet. cyrus@linux-zuge:~> telnet localhost imap Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID LOGINDISABLED * AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 SASL-IR COMPRESS=DEFLATE] linux-zuge * Cyrus IMAP v2.3.16 server ready . login ahkow(a)test.com pass1234 . NO Login only available under a layer . logout * BYE LOGOUT received . OK Completed Connection closed by foreign host. The password is correct because I used it with imtest, but I could also specify that I was using DIGEST-MD5 in imtest. Do I need to make a MD5 hash of my password and enter it when I login with telnet? If so, how do I generate the MD5 hash of "pass1234"? Also, if Cyrus requires the MD5 hashed password to login, does that mean that clients such as Outlook would not be able to connect because they can only use plain text authentication (AFAIK)? Any information would be deeply appreciated! pascal chong -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] filesystems not clean after reboot
by Peter Suetterlin 12 May '11

12 May '11

Hi, more trouble with 11.4 The filesystems do not get unmounted/remounted properly. I do a normal logout/shutdown, no error messages. But when I boot again, *all* filesystems are dirty and go through transaction replay. Definitely not funny, but I have no real idea how to debug this?

[opensuse] package search for 11.2?
by Istvan Gabor 12 May '11

12 May '11

Hello: There is no openSUSE 11.2 version in package search at http://software.opensuse.org/114/en How can I search packages for 11.2? (I thought that support had ended but did not see any note regarding it.)

[opensuse] Klipper wo'tn go into the system tray -- nor will volume control
by Anton Aylward 12 May '11

12 May '11

I'm up to date on patches.. It doesn't matter whether I start klipper from the command line or the menu, it doesn't produce the entry in the system tray that it once did. Oh, and the volume control too. Actually, even if it did, I'm not sure it would help, because the KDE4 shutdown is not saving the session properly; I keep getting the session from last week. Its a good thing I'm using Thunderbird and Firefox and they save state separately. None of my KDE4 settings are sticking around. If I rename my virtual desktops the names go away when I log out. The same with tabs in Konqueror; when I log in I get the ones from last week's session. Phonon settings ... the list goes on. -- It is an error to imagine that evolution signifies a constant tendency to increased perfection. That process undoubtedly involves a constant remodelling of the organism in adaptation to new conditions; but it depends on the nature of those conditions whether the directions of the modifications effected shall be upward or downward.

[opensuse] Installing 11.4
by A. den Oudsten 12 May '11

12 May '11

Respected friends, On my Acer E-machines I have several times times installed, with different partitioning. It ended every time in a screen full of green bars. The same after a restart. In fail-save mode I could finish the installation, and in fail-save mode I can use the machine. During start I see on the screen the following remarkable lines: Starting syslog services blogd System console stolen at line 266! (in red) blogd Can not read from fd0: Input/output error With the same DVD I installed 11.4 on my Laptop. Any idea and suggestion how to solve this problem?

[opensuse] Libre Offfice wopn't open documents.
by Bob S 12 May '11

12 May '11

Hello SuSE people, Running 11.3 with KDE3.5.10 Did an upgrade of 11.3 last night and Open Office was uninstalled and Libre Office installed in it's place. It ooens up and will accept input but will not open any existing documents. If I go to File > Open I do not get a list of any existing documents nor any in the Recent Documents. If I then close it, it will not open a second time. I must log out and then back in again. Then, if I go to a document and right click on it then choose Open with Libre Office nothing happens. Libre Office does not open. But, if I have logged out and then back in again, when I go to a document and right click it and choose Open with Libre Offfice writer, it then opens a dialog about recovering the document. Then I tell it to recover the document and it opens that document. After that, and after logging out and back in again, that document will whow up in the Recent Documents list and can be opened from within Libre Office. Clear as mud, right? Links maybe? Hope somebody can point me in the right direction here. The handling and editing of documents is an important part of my use.

[opensuse] VLC problem in 11.4
by Basil Chupin 12 May '11

12 May '11

A couple of weeks ago (I think) I posted a message stating that vlc will not even start under openSUSE 11.4. I just re-installed 11.4, as a totally new installation, and did all the necessary updates to all files. Still no vlc. xine works fine but not vlc. I then remembered that someone - I *think* that it was Mark Goldstein - responded to my original post with the suggestion to run vlc with the prefix of 'strace'; I just amended the properties for vlc and now it runs correctly for me. I don't remember thanking Mark for his suggestion which I now do: Thank you Mark for the 'fix', greatly appreciated. But before I remembered Mark's suggestion, I went looking for an answer and found that there is a bug in KDE4.6.0 and which, as implied, has been fixed in KDE 4.6.1. Which is quite nice to know....if you only one knew how to upgrade your current KDE 4.6.0 to 4.6.1 (let alone to 4.6.2!) to get rid of just one (presumably) small bug to make vlc work. As I have forgotten over time the mystical incantations required to manipulate the Repositories info in (?)YaST to be able to upgrade this current release of 11.4 with KDE 4.6.0 to KDE 4.6.1, would some kind person, using plain, simple English, please, if it is not too much trouble, tell me what I should do to add whatever necessary repos (NO runes and in abbreviated form please!-please) to my installation so as to be able to upgrade to KDE 4.6.1? And as it is, in my time zone, Good Friday, A Happy Easter to everybody.

[opensuse] Kmail Address Book question/problem
by ka1ifq 12 May '11

12 May '11

It seems that Kmail does not remember email addresses that I enter. I usually right click on the persons email ,add to address book, then click Personal Contacts, then OK. Next time I want to send an email the address is not in the add book. Do I need to remove the add book and start over? Is there a way to do that? It's just getting annoying now. Thanks, Mike.
