[opensuse] Ctrl Alt F7 does not return from tty to x11 session
by Andre Massing 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi! Finally after many years of absence I change from Debian /Ubuntu back to what is "now" opensuse (it was really a long time ago :) ) and let me just say that I am very impressed and satisfied with the overall experience and appearance of opensuse. But I have an issue with switching back from a tty session to the x11 session via CTRL-ALT-F7 key kombination. Switching from the x11 sessions to one of the ttys works fine. So I was wondering whether this is a known issue (I did not find anything similar in bugzilla)? And how could I easily access the keyboard mapping within the tty, just to quickly check if the keymap in the tty is the same as in the x11 session. I am on opensuse 11.4 with a macbook pro 6.2 and I remember that I had some trouble with the Fn keys and used a hid-apple kernel module under ubuntu, but as far as I remember the key mapping was consistent. (A possible related issue that sometimes that monitors hangs on tty after suspend to ram, not getting back to the x11 session) Any pointers to nail down the problem are highly apprecitated!

[opensuse] opensuse 11.4 rpm package for Nvidia driver 260.19.44 anywhere available/archived?
by Andre Massing 02 Jun '11

02 Jun '11

Hi there! The newest 270 nvidia driver series from nvidia obs repositories makes my laptop not returning from suspend to ram. So I was wondering whether rpms e.g. the x11-video-nvidiaG02-260.19.44-24.1.x86_64.rpm for 260 series are anywhere lying around /archived? There were removed from the nvidia repos and at that time rpm caching on my machine was not active :( (Actually I would prefer to use the nouveau driver but the last version give me regular freezes after ca. 30 min of running KDE, so that is unfortunately not an option) Thanks and cheers, Andre -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Thunderbird v3.1.10 and KDE ScreenLocker
by Stan Goodman 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

I have just switched from Kmail to Thunderbird. I am receiving and sending mail without problems, and have also replied to received mails, but am now getting an error message when I try to reply, saying that "KDE Screen Locker has closed unexpectedly. The first time this happened, I was able to restart the screen locker by means of the button provided for this, but that no longer works. A google search for this error message has brought up exactly for (4) hits (bug reports) none of which seems helpful,. If there is a workaround that will enable me to continue to use Thunderbird, I would like to hear about it. Thanks. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Format Factory on Linux
by Okuro Okiawa 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Hey guys, I was used to manage different audio and video formats on my older Windows PC using Format Factory. This worked out quite well in high quality. Does anyone of you know an alternative to Format Factory which is available under Linux? The program should especially be able to cope with .wav, .mp3, .mp4, ...

[opensuse] repository priority in yast (oS 11.2)
by Istvan Gabor 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Hello list readers: According to man zypper: -p, --priority <positive-integer> Set priority of the repository. Priority of 1 is the highest, the higher the number the lower the priority. Default prior- ity is 99. Packages from repositories with higher priority will be preferred even in case there is a higher installable version available in the repository with a lower priority. But in yast software manager when I click update for a package the selected repo has the highest number (ie the lowest priority according to the above.) Is this a bug or is it on purpose (that the gui interprets priority in the opposite manner)?

[opensuse] confusing scsi disk major/minor numbers in suse
by Youyou Lu 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

I am using suse enterprise linux 11 sp1. But the scsi disk number is quite confusing: the major is 259 and the minor is a large number with a stride 32768 or 65536。 I am working on a project to scan all the scsi disks and the open the disks. The way i am doing now is to construct a scsi disk list (this seems to work), and then to open the disk from the scsi disk list using the device number. But the member devt of device fetched from struct scsi_device.sdev_gendev or sdev_dev is 0. I am not sure about the relation of scsi_device, block_device and device structure and how to open the block device from the known scsi_device structure. Appreciate any suggestion. -- Youyou Lu Tsinghua University -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
