[opensuse] CPU Pegging out at 99%
by Jim Flanagan 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

Something is pegging my CPU at 99%. Top shows dbus-daemon. When this happens no other programs will launch. Existing running programs are very sluggish. How can I determine what is causing this? It occurs every few days. Running 11.4 KDE on a clean install. Switching to runelvel 3 does not cure the issue, only a reboot. This does not make sense to me.

[opensuse] USB serial port not found

I have a system running open-suse 11.4. It has no serial ports but I have a USB serial port. For some reason it does not show this port. Does anyone know how to check what is wrong or can point me to how to discover or configure it to work.

As long as one doesn't use GNOME, KDE, or XFCE, ivman was a nice tool to get automatic hot-plug mounts in these environments. AFAICS, ivman is not maintained any more upstream, at http://ivman.sourceforge.net/. Last update there was in 2007; dependency on HAL won't go away. Thus, I would say it's probable that one has to look for another similar tool in such non full-fledged desktop environments, if one doesn't want to do manual mounts there. Anybody knows of such a tool, i.e. one that is not HAL-dependent but uses udev/udisk, to issue user mount requests on plug events? Or shall one has to write udev-rules that issue pmount commands?

[opensuse] there is still power to mouse and keyboard after shutdown
by George Olson 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

Hi to all, After I power off my system, I still have power to my mouse and keyboard as indicated by the laser light on the mouse and the numlock light on the keyboard. Is there any way that SUSE can help me figure out if this is a power module problem on my motherboard? Do I need to update the BIOS on my motherboard? Before I was using windows XP, and it did the same thing, but I just installed openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64) so I was thinking that there might be something that is fixable using SUSE but was not fixable using windows (I have a lot of other reasons for going to SUSE besides this).

[opensuse] Kmail migration no 2
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

With the update to 4.7 I was surprised to get a kmail migration. Migration was successful but since then I cannot use kmail anymore.The error message is: KMail encountered a fatal error and will terminate now. The error was: You do not have read/write permission to your inbox folder. This is a nogo ;). No idea where kmail got this info. Looking into the kmail data and inbox does not give an indication about what went amiss. PS. If I leave this Error message I can look into the kmail emails. Found that the migration although finished with the message that it had finished succesful, only transfered 9 from the 31 messages from the inbox. From the suse box 12 from the 496 messages and from my family folder 0 (yes zero) from 2545 messages. My problem may have been caused by the fact that I have the mail box in MAIL on my /home directory and I can use it from several opensuse versions. That is why nothing is realy lost but it shows that the migration is not fool proof and should have a warning to start saving ones mailboxes before using it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org ----------------------------------------- -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.0.0-4-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.00 (4.7.0) 18:13pm up 2:13, 3 users, load average: 0.51, 1.10, 1.09 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] A troubling behavior of Thunderbird
by Stan Goodman 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Earlier today I retrieved mail and found about ten incoming messages. I began to answer one of these, which took about a half hour (long thoughtful reply), and then noticed that there was only one remaining message in the inbox -- one that had arrived during the half hour, the others having vanished. While I stared at the screen aghast, the one remaining also evaporated before my eyes -- while my hands were nowhere near mouse or keyboard, so not on my initiative. Since I did not set such a behavior (in the inbox, of all places) that may be the default behavior. A week or so ago, I thought something of the sort had happened, but dismissed the idea as a failure of my own memory, since nobody in his right mind would program such a default. Now I've seen it. TBird is now shut down, until I can find the setting that does it, or permanently, whichever happens first. -- 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

I can now write to the partitions. Your explanation gave me the opportunity to (finally :-) ) come to grips with this permission stuff a lot better than I did before. I noted that you are using 4 digits in your masks but fstab is using only 3. In coming to grips with this permissions 'hassle' I read that the 4-digit approach should be used because it leaves the 4th digit undefined and therefore in its default state. Does this mean, if you know that is, that either 1) openSUSE is not following the more prudent method of coding or 2) openSUSE does not recognise/use the 4-digit approach? Thanks again for your help.

I upgraded from 11.2 to 11.4 and when trying to print, I get this error in /var/log/cups/error_log libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/001/004: Permission denied. libusb requires write access to USB device nodes. I tried shutting off AppArmour to see if it would help, and it didn't. http://pastebin.com/sqx62Ap9 is the log output of error_log -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SASL authentication on Konversation
by Ricardo Chung 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

I am looking some tutorial or info to configure SASL authentication on Konversation irc. Recently I was trying to connect channels #opensuse-xxx irc freenode via 3.5G Modem. This do not let me to connect because it needs a SASL authentication to connect to irc freenode this way. So it looks like I am connecting via some proxy before it goes to freenode servers. I have a registered Nick on Freenode. So I thought this was enough to be authenticated anytime to the freenode servers. The only info I found is related to Tor Proxy. I don't want to be banned from #opensuse-xxxx chanels because this proxy used. Besides, I would like to know if there is a way to hide my IP address without hassle. Some privacy is not a bad idea. So using opensuse cloak (/opensuse/member/name/) is a plus but cannot find the way to make it despite I spent hours googling for it. So any help or guide is really appreciated. -- Ricardo Chung | openSUSE Linux Ambassador openSUSE Member Panama Li-f-e | KDE 4.6.00r6 | GNOME2 | GNOME3 | Nouveau-Mesa3D experimental -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] php problem?
by James Hatridge 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Hi all, I downloaded some software that uses PHP, HTML, and CSS to do a web page. I installed it and it said all was ok. But when I run it there is no formating at all, everything is in a single column on the left. Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks!
