[opensuse] kde used nvidia drivers?
by Roger Oberholtzer 07 May '11

07 May '11

I am using KDE 4.6 on an openSUSE 11.2 system. I did an update today and things no longer work. More specifically I cannot log in. I think I know what is wrong, but not why: kdebase4-workspace-4.6.2-4.1.i586 contains a library called /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_ksmserver.so. Mysteriously, this library is linked with these two files (as revealed with 'ldd /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_ksmserver.so'): libnvidia-tls.so.260.19.44 => not found libnvidia-glcore.so.260.19.44 => not found I saw as a complaint at the end of my .xsession-errors file a reference to this library, which is why I looked here. Why a KDE library is linking (directly or indirectly via another library) with a hard-wired version release of the proprietary nvidia drivers is a mystery. The other mystery is what use nvidia libraries will be on my ATI graphics system. Perhaps they are for something rather generic? The closest I come to libnvidia-tls.so.xxxxx is from x11-video- nvidiaG02-270.41.06-5.1.i586, but that is /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.270.41.06. This was updated today and is the direct cause of the problem. Perhaps it is because I have the nvidia repo (ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.2/) as well as the kde4.6 (KDE:/Release:/46) repo enabled. And the kde4.6 repo does not use the latest nvidia repo. Begging the question of why it i used at all. All that aside, why is kde even using an nvidia library? Or, if kde is not, who that /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_ksmserver.so links with does use the library? This seems to be a very fragile thing as people are often want to try newer versions of nvidia drivers. In this case, I am still using one from OBS. To fix this I guess I will have to find the 260.19.44 version of the nvidia drivers. Which do not show up in Yast. So the hunt is on. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] wifi 802.11n on 11.3
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 06 May '11

06 May '11

Hi, I have no real idea how to diagnose this issue so trying here if people have similar experience or ideas what to check/do. I used to have a 54Mb/s access point with a client with 802.11n capabilities (openSUSE 11.3, driver iwlagn). No issues at all using that wifi connection. Since a few weeks I've replaced the access point with a modern one also with 802.11n support. The client speeds up to 300Mb/s as I can with iwconfig or nm-applet. But as soon as I transmit data (just terminal characters so not much) I get a collapse in bandwith (iwconfig goes down to 1Mb/s). This is highly annoying in SSH sessions when you get some characters over the "wire" and then get a pause where nothing gets through for like 3-5 seconds. That even happens with Link Quality=66/70 like quality which I would consider still good. I'm no expert but that doesn't seem to be a connection issue to me. My wireless network also is the only one here so there shouldn't be much noise. Any ideas or hints?

Hello: I have openSUSE 11.2 with KDE3. I would like to use opera 11.x web browser with KDE file chooser but newest opera does not support KDE3/qt3. What would be the minimal install of KDE4 that is necessary for opera for using KDE as file chooser? I do not want to use KDE4 for anything else.

[opensuse] LibreOffice Impress slide sorter: cut slide buggy?
by Istvan Gabor 05 May '11

05 May '11

Hello: I've just noticed on my system: openSUSE 11.2 with LibreOffice 3.3.2 OOO330m19 (Build:202) (libreoffice-base-3.3.2.2-1.1.i586 and accompanying packages) When I use the slide sorter in Impress no matter which slides are selected, cutting (ctrl-x) results in cutting the firs slide, not the selected ones. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] net install via (transparent) proxy
by Per Jessen 05 May '11

05 May '11

I've just done two identical network installations of 11.4 after one another, and would have expected the second one to benefit from the fact that the first one had already retrieved everything required. However, according to squids logs, I had 61 hits and roughly 2500 misses. Not a single RPM was cached. I'm guessing the issue is the metalink, but I haven't found any way of making squid work with the metalink. Question: How do I get squid to cache the repo data during a network installation? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] 11.4 problems: Kdm Sound temperature STATUS UPDATE

After help from Tejas I have PulseAudio working under 11.4 on most applications. The major exception is SKYPE, which is a critical application for me. I'm running Skype Version 2.2.0.25 The Skype page says Software requirements Qt 4.4.0 • D-Bus 1.0.0 libasound2 1.0.18 PulseAudio 0.9.16 (optional) I have pulseaudio-0.9.22-6.11.1.i586 dbus-1-1.4.1-6.1.i586 libasound2-1.0.24.1-4.7.1.i586 libqt4-4.7.2-164.1.i586 So I think that's OK When Skype starts up there isn't the "whoosh" sound and and when I go to options -> sound devices the only available option for the device settings (mic/ring/sound) is PulseAudio. However the "play test sound" is greyed out. Working with the options available in the "Open PulseAudio Volume Control" doesn't offer anything to rectify that. I've run out of ideas.

What version do I download? Any? Is it the same procedure as on a pc? I don't want to keep any partitions on the faulty hard disk. I want to install onto an external usb drive. I can do it easily on a windoze box. Is the method the same for a mac? Thanks.
