[opensuse] make kdialog passive popups NOT go to system notifications
by Myrosia Dzikovska 12 Jul '11

12 Jul '11

I get a fair number of notifications in my system through the local message service (what used to be kwrited). In KDE they by default go to the notifications popups. Unfortunately, if the message is long enough, the popup cuts it off and I cannot read it. For a lot of those messages, I want them to appear somewhere so that I want to read it, but I don't want them to interrupt (i.e., don't want to have to click buttons when they show up). My solution to that in OpenSuse 11.3 was on notification to run a command kdialog --passivepopup %s 300 This displayed messages in popup windows somewhere on screen, and that was exactly what I needed. Now I upgraded to OpenSuse 11.4, and got an unpleasant surprise: "kdialog --passivepopup" now shows up as a message in system notifications, and I cannot see its complete text. What can I do to fix this, or to find an alternative solution? Myrosia -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] brand new install 11.4+updates: firefox hangs frequently.
by Per Jessen 12 Jul '11

12 Jul '11

I've got a brand new 11.4+updates install on a Lenovo Thinkpad that previously ran openSUSE 11.2. In the new installation, Firefox will frequently hang up the entire system for minutes at a time. All I need to do is go visit e.g. http://www.20min.ch/ and the machine will hang up. The mouse is locked, the clock stops, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is ignored, Ctrl-Alt-F1 ditto. After a minute or two, the machine will recover. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi Listmates, There are some disks in my system which I very seldom use. I want these after the boot in sleep mode,they are a little bit noisy. Now I do this by hand with the command "hdparm -Y /dev/xxx". I want put this command somewhere at the end of the bootsequence. Where and how should I do this ?

[opensuse] two dolphin questions
by Per Jessen 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Couple of questions: 1. is there a possibility to see the summary window (as in Konqueror) by hovering over an icon/file? 2. can I view picture files _inside_ dolphin? (as in Konqueror). It's annoying having to start a new application for each new view. thanks Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Installation of 11.4 fails: Error 22 for GRUB
by Oliver Kullmann 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Hello, I want to install Suse 11.4 on a Laptop (HP-G62) with Windows 7 on it (no previous Linux). I created three partitions for / (ext4, 20GB), /home (ext4, 100GB) and swap (4GB). Now at the end of the installation process, either when installing grub into MBR or the other possibility (forget what it was called, but there are two possibilities), I get the following error message: ------------- GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072 upper memory) [ ... ] grub> setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd0) (hd0,4) Error 22: No such partition grub> quit ------------- I didn't find something relevant in the Internet on that. Shall I perhaps create also a dedicated partition for /boot ? (And if so, what size should it have?) Thanks for your consideration.

[opensuse] zypper: how to get info when the package is already installed?
by Joachim Schrod 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Hallo, If I call zypper info -r REPO PACKAGE for an installed package, it outputs info about the installed package, not about the package from repository REPO. (This is on openSUSE 11.4.) To wit: n-puma:~ # zypper info -r openSUSE-11.4-Non-Oss AdobeICCProfiles |head -11 Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Information for package AdobeICCProfiles: Repository: @System Name: AdobeICCProfiles Version: 2.0-137 Arch: noarch Vendor: open-slx Does anyone know how to get package info for that repository's version? Incidentally, isn't that a bug in zypper?
