[opensuse] Importing an addressbook into Thunderbird 5.0
by Stan Goodman 09 Jul '11

09 Jul '11

The source addressbook is in a large Vcard v3.0 file. I have installed the MoreVunctions addon in Thunderbird. Using the Import function, I inform it that this is a .vcf file and let 'er rip. The error message that appears immediately says: "An error occurred importing addressees from vCard file (.vcf)", with no diagnostic information. The resulting imported address book consistes of only part of the first card in the source file: only the line "Email: <correct address>"; the source card includes the name of the contact, but that is absent in the target. When I delete the first entry in the source and try to import the resulting file, the same error message appears, but nothing at all makes it to the target. I do not see anything obvious wrong with these entries. Here are the first two card, with actual data disguised: BEGIN:VCARD EMAIL:xxx@aol.com N:LastName;First;;; UID:02qwGGxEQS VERSION:3.0 END:VCARD BEGIN:VCARD FN:FirstName N:Name;;;; NAME:Name NICKNAME:Nickkname TEL;TYPE=CELL:(050)xxx-yyyy UID:04LJIjLDNv VERSION:3.0 END:VCARD How can I find what is bothering the utility and correct it? -- 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] switchable laptop graphics
by Fr David Ousley 09 Jul '11

09 Jul '11

New laptop, new 11.4 installation (dual boot with Windows 7) with switchable graphics: on the motherboard, IntelVGA compatible controller (2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller). This is what is in use with no problem since the installation. There is also nVidia GeForce GT 555M card. The hardware switch works in Windows, but has no effect in linux. I think my son (whose computer it is) will use the nVidia most of the time, but might like to know how to switch. In any case, I would appreciate any help in knowing how to use the nVidia in place of the motherboard graphics. Thanks! (If details of either or both or the system, are needed, please tell me what you need.) -- Fr David Ousley davidousley(a)verizon.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Mouse hangs very frequently (CPU usage?) system 100% unusable
by Stan Goodman 09 Jul '11

09 Jul '11

The system is desktop v11.3, KDE v4.4 Because of the behavior, I do not see how I could approach diagnosis, even if I had a clue what to do. Sometime, wiggling the mouse cursor a bit makes the mouse responsive for a few seconds. When that doesn't work, sometimes letting it sit for a half hour or so frees it. Sometimes only the reset button does anything, How can I deal with this problem? -- 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] 11.3 prints, 11.4 does not
by Felix Miata 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

Latest available (7 months old) proprietary Canon PPD my printer requires, and preceeding versions, work in F14 and oS 11.3, but not in F15 or oS 11.4, apparently due to something changed in CUPS. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683476 I don't "upgrade" to odd numbered releases, and even if this was not the case, I wouldn't "upgrade" to 11.3 anyway due to its immature KMS system and other flaws encountered running it on test systems. 11.2, notwithstanding Tumbleweed, currently installed, is out of support. Sound worked fine in 11.0, but not in 11.2, so I'm not keen on keeping 11.2 any longer than I must. I'd like to move to 11.4 in hopes of restoring sound as soon as the https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675793 fix is actually available. So, I see three options for moving to 11.4: 1-install 11.3, lock CUPS packages, upgrade to 11.4, or 2-install 11.3's CUPS packages in 11.2, lock them, upgrade to 11.4, or 3-install 11.4, excluding CUPS and its deps, install CUPS packages from 11.3 repos, or 4-upgrade 11.2 to 11.3, lock CUPS, upgrade to 11.4 Do any seem viable? If all, which stands best chance of success? I really don't like the idea of the upgrade route, for fear of sound not getting fixed. Changing printers is not an option. Space limitations, feature set, and the fact that I've not yet used up the first toner cartridge in 1.7 years of ownership (IOW, it's still new) dictate I keep what I have. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse] kernel upgrades on older versions

It seems that there are a few stallwarts out there, yours truly one of us, who still use suse 11.3, 11.2, 11.1 and even 10.x as the main os. Most of these os's are out of maintenance, so a kernel upgrade would have to be manual.

[opensuse] adobe reader and stuck image parts on screen
by Istvan Gabor 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Hello: Adobe reader pretty frequently litters my screen with non-removable and unmovable image parts. These image parts are either small previews of opened pdf documents or titles/file names of opened pdfs'. They only disappear when I close adobe reader. An example can be seen here: http://i52.tinypic.com/10nt4x5.jpg Does anyone else see these? How could I get rid of them? I have openSUSE 11.2, KDE 3.5.10, adobe-reader 9.3.2 (openSUSE rpm).

[opensuse] Which Graphics card for openSUSE 11.4 and the future?
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Hi all, I seem to have some problems with openSUSE 11.4 and graphics cards. Mine are relatively old nVidia (GeForce GT 220) and ATI's (Radeon X550/ RV370/SapphireX550 Silent). The nVidia card is suspect, I think an onboard memory problem. It freezes up irregularly. I want to replace it.

[opensuse] Simple Network Booting Solution?
by Andrew Joakimsen 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

I already know how PXE works, etc. That's not an issue. The issue is I want to network boot openSUSE. Not an installer. I've read all the KIWI-LTSP stuff on the wiki but there aren't clear instructions and seems outdated (the documentation at least). All I was able to determine is in SUSE Studio website PXE images are disabled, but "SUSE Studio Onsite" is a paid (how many thousands? 50 thousand?) system that can build PXE booting images. That's basically all I need, build an image with a GUI and boot it over PXE. Even if I could boot the LiveCD over PXE, that would be fine. Is there a way to convert some image I build in SUSE studio to PXE image? What is even the difference? Just the proper support in initrd? Anyone have working recent instructions on how to accomplish this? All I need is to boot a (single) machine over PXE and run firefox. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I've completed indexing about 30K documents/files, but PDFs and office docs are still not showing meta-data. I'm more than a little hesitant about beginning to report bugs on issues such as this - I simply don't know what is supposed to work and what isn't. For instance, I tried running "strigi" via "ssh -X" which didn't work (presumably because "strigi" is somehow KDE internal?) That the preview for an office file is just a char dump must be a bug though, but am I wrong in thinking this whole thing is somewhat incomplete? More questions: How do I enable strigi for all users (of a machine)? How about indexing of shared folders? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.3°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Lost sound (KDE4)
by Per Jessen 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

I ran an upgrade of my sons desktop machine over the weekend, and it has now lost sound completely. Via YaST, I've deleted and reconfigured the soundcard, but this had no (apparent) effect. The card is currently detected as "d330 uT' with driver snd-intel8x0 - I'm afraid I don't know if that was also the previous config. AFAIR, the kmix application used to show several miscellaneous sliders, but they seem to have gone too. (replaced by 3-4 tabs with streams). Any suggestions on how to get sound back?

[opensuse] Kudos to the tumbleweed influence on 11.4
by David C. Rankin 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

All, Whether intended or not, one area where I have noticed great progress in 11.4 is package currency. For the past decade, after the initial release, SuSE/openSUSE always languished several versions behind other distros with regard to package versions available as either updates or through build service. Arch, the first rolling release I tried, absolutely blew me away with current packages where new packages were often available before the upstream public release of a version bump. Tumbleweed appears to have forced a similar currency in openSUSE which is a great benefit to the community. Now whether updating through zypper on openSUSE or pacman on Arch, a majority of the updates are to the upstream version. Excellent job! -- David C.

[opensuse] Thunderbird calendar ("Lightening" v1,0b4)
by Stan Goodman 03 Jul '11

03 Jul '11

This, although a beta, is the current release of "Lightening", and is described by Mozilla as "stable". In the Preferences screen, I have succeeded in defining which days are workdays, and also set a new category of Task. I've defined the details of a new task, and clicked on the button "Save and Close". The window does close, but the new task does not appear anywhere, so it isn't saved. The Preferences offer the choice of long or short date format; I chose the long, but today is 7/3/2011. For everything else on the system, it is 3/7/2011, so this is confusing. Everything else on the system also knows about 24-hour time formats; Lightening knows about them only when it comes to choosing times, but the result of choosing 1640 becomes 4:40pm. The Preferences window does know <dd mm yyyy>, and never mentions time formats, implying that Lightening will use the system default, which it doesn't. I don't think it is surprising for a beta to be in this condition. The surprise is the hubris of grownups to argue that it is stable. In the meantime, I continue to use korganizer. -- 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 have no idea how to start with errors like these... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Thunderbird and HTML
by Stan Goodman 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

There is a class of HTML-containing incoming messages that I need to save as HTML. I access these later with Firefox. Now I am using the Thunderbird mail client. In Kmail, I could use the message-structure feature to save the HTML version of such messages. Thunderbird seems to lack the ability to display in a format called EML. I do not see a way to get the mailer to display or save the HTML part of a message, and hope that I am overlooking something. How is this done? -- 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] Two versions of openSUSE, but the second won't boot up...
by Insomniac 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Hi all, I got a new 40 GB hdd the other day so that I could install openSUSE 10.3 on it to use as my 'game' drive (I have a Crossover thing that just doesn't work well with 11.3, unfortunately) What I did, was I unplugged the 11.3 hdd from the MOBO, installed the new hdd, plugged it in *on the SATA 3 plug (there's 4, 11.3 is on 1, the CD/DVD writer is on 2 and now 10.3 on 3) and turned the system on and installed 10.3 on it. Then, I plugged my 11.3 back in and started up the system and got into 11.3 to put the new hdd in my GRUB. I've chosen almost all the choices that GRUB had (using YaST) to put the new hdd/10.3 in the bootup selection menu (where I now have the penguins permanently walking back and forth, on purpose btw). Nothing I've chosen works. When I get to the menu where I can select what to do (11.3, 10.3, 11.3 failsafe, floppy), if I choose 10.3 it starts the GRUB for it and then brings me right back to the choice menu again. Is there something I'm missing? Should I install 10.3 again but leave my 11.3 plugged in and start up with the 10.3 in the cd/dvd writer and try it that way and hope that install doesn't screw up enough that I can no longer get in 11.3?
