[opensuse] 2ManDVD complains about :ffmpeg depend
by Michael S. Dunsavage 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

Running 2ManDVD it complains that the missing dependency of :ffmpeg is missing. I installed the ffmpeg perl module through cpan, however it still complains. Googling hasn't resulted in much help. Any one else have this problem? -- Michael S. Dunsavage -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Java plugin has disappeared from Firefox v4.01
by Stan Goodman 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

Yesterday I discovered that I am unable to operate the Java applet on my website; trying to find why this is so, I found that about:plugins displays no Java plugins. This is a 64bit system, so the plugin, before it vanished quietly, was icedtea. openSuSE is v11.3. A search for "icedtea" in YaST shows me that icedtea-web v1.1-0.2.1 is installed. Not installed is the file java-1_6_0-openjdk-plugin v1.6.0.0_b20.1.9.7-1.2.1. I guessed that I need to icedtea-web with the java plugin, but was told that I would have to remove icedtea-web. I see on the web that the icedtea-web package is said to already contain the java plugin, so now I am confused.

[opensuse] Dolphin: where is the "apply view properties to" ?
by Per Jessen 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

According to this there is a way to apply view properties to other folders (new,sub-,all) besides the current one: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase-apps/dolphin/view-properties.html I can't find that part of the dialogue on my openSUSE 11.4 system. Has it gone somewhereelse? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenSuSE 11.4 and conntrack ftp (kernel 2.6.37.6-0.5-default)
by Claudio Prono 14 Jul '11

Hello all, After the upgrade to OpenSuSE 11.4, i have some problems with the clients using FTP behind the firewall. My firewall loads this modules: modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp modprobe ip_nat_ftp And before the upgrade, no problem at all. Now, some strange problems: sometimes the passive connections works, sometimes not... Here is an example: root@web1[~]: ftp ftp.unina.it Connected to ftp.unina.it. 220 ftp.unina.it NcFTPd Server (free educational license) ready.

Guys, Updates today give the conflict that htmldoc needs to be removed due to uninstallable provider: libfltk1-1.1.10-2.1.x86_64.

[opensuse] what is the significance of the max preview size setting in dolphin?
by Per Jessen 14 Jul '11

PDF documents for instance can be quite sizeable, is there any reason why I shouldn't set the preview size limit to 100Mb for local files? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] "Samsung_Laptop" module not working on Samsung X360 machine‏‏‏
by Karl-Heinz tm 13 Jul '11

13 Jul '11

Hello, as many recent Samsung Laptop models my box (X360 subnotebook featuring C2D SU9300 and Intel X4500 graphics) does not support setting the brightness of the backlight via ACPI; rather it requires a Samsung-specific "SABI" driver. Supposedly this is provided for the X360 by SAMSUNG_LAPTOP as of kernel 2.6.39. The driver should make the function keys of the machine work under Linux (especially the brightness and WLAN keys). Some Fn-keys work prior to 2.6.39, such as the volume and sleep keys. Unfortunately, using an opensuse 11.4/kde fresh install and upgrading to 2.6.39.3-1-desktop via tumbleweed, I get very erroneous behaviour once the above module is loaded, as follows: - pressing the "brightness-up" key does nothing - pressing the "brightness-down" key once switches the display to maximum brightness, after which no other brightness changes occur when pressing the "down"-key - every time one presses the "brightness-down" key, the display flickers briefly, and X takes about 40% CPU for a minute or so, and then reverts to its usual <10% value - unloading the module will immediately reduce X's CPU load to normal Pressing the brightness keys with the module loaded does not bring up KDE's brightness applet; pressing the keys without the module does bring up the applet, which then shows the brightness going up and down but the actual brightness of the screen remains unaffected. When the module is loaded, the system log shows that a X360 laptop is correctly discovered. Other than this, nothing is in the log, and nothing is echoed to the console or the system log when modprobing the module. The files in sysfs appear to be correctly created; however, there is also a "acpi-backlight" class in addition to the "samsung" class that is managed by the module/driver. In either case, writing directly into the sysfs files has no effect whatsoever. For completeness sake: the WLAN key also does not work regardless of loading or unloading the module. I did quite some googling about the issue but to no avail. Am I the only one having this problem? Sorry for the long mail, but I hope I provided a complete and useful description of the issue; will happily provide more info but if things get complicated I will need step-by-step instructions. Thanks, BR, Karl-Heinz P.S.: the module did actually work (at least concerning brightness changes) when I first tried 2.6.39 a while ago, but sorry I don't recall the version and the circumstances. However, this seems to indicate that my current problem may be a regression. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Ciro Iriarte 13 Jul '11

13 Jul '11

Hi, any comments against using XFS on a 2.5" USB disk drive?. I'll be using it for additional storage on my laptop, I've read that a journal cleanup/recreation is needed if I'm switching between 32bit/64bit installations, any other known issue?.
