by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

Since some time my CPU is using between 40 and 49% of the CPU according to the system monitor.. What causes this activity and is there something I can do to reduce this to normal levels? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.0.0-11-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.00 (4.7.0) 13:11pm up 0:43, 3 users, load average: 6.28, 5.41, 4.82 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Automatic emptying caches
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

On my system Iran out of space and was looking at the cause. Tmp was one of the culprits so I instructed the system via the /etc/sysconfig Editor to regularly empty the /tmp and /var/tmp. Looking further I discovered a lot of caches full with older rpm's. Most of these made by zypper. I can of course remove these caches manual but thought that it should also be possible with the above editor. Searched for it without success. Did I overlook something? Should I look into zypper for a cleaning of the caches? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.0.0-10-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.00 (4.7.0) 13:46pm up 2 days 23:49, 2 users, load average: 3.07, 1.99, 1.29 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] updating HD device id, best practice
by James Pifer 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

We're moving a bunch of sles servers to a new SAN. This process changes the ID of the hard drives. We're able to modify menu.lst and fstab to use /dev/sda1, etc, but when you do a kernel update, the grub gets re-written using the old had drive ID. I found /boot/grub/device.map has the old ID in it, but I'm not sure if changing that is enough. What is best practice for modifying/updating a system that now has a new device id? thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, didn't find any specific bind9 forum, so I'm asking it here. Anybody knows why bind 9.5 would stop forwardind queries to a Windows DNS server?. It only works after restarting the service again...

[opensuse] Adobe flash crash -- cycling round and round ... a KDE4.7 problem ?
by Anton Aylward 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

If I visit YouTube I can't view the videos I get Adobe flash crashing. The message says to report the bug, click on that and I get a message to restart. Well, the restart actually RE-loads the page. Rise lather REPEAT. I just upgraded to FF 6.0 but I was getting this with FF 5.0 since I upgraded to KDE4.7 KDE4.7 also saw problems with the interface between FF and Thunderbird. I have problems starting a URL in TB and problems with 'send link' in FF starting up TB. By Problems I mean it works once after I start. I can fire up many links from a message in TB, but as soon as I visit the virtual screen that has FF, if I go back to TB it doesn't work any more. >From FF I get one shot after start-up of using 'send link'. Yes, I've been though the setup, googled and discussed this with people on the list. I'm confident the settings are right. Why am I confident? Why an I reporting this as a 4.7 issue? If I use Xfce I don't have these problems between FF and TB. Why don't I use Xfce? Well I prefer KDE :-) But right now I can't use Xfce because the 4.7 XDM doesn't work. And yes I've reported that to the list and no-one replied, but when someone described exactly the same problem I'm having they "fixed" it in the nvidia driver. Only I'm using ATI not nvidia. -- The Internet is not the greatest threat to information security; stupidity is the greatest threat to information security. - Will Spencer <will.spencer(a)gte.net> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Troubles with Thunderbird, Enigmail and another add-ons
by Vojtěch Zeisek 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Hello, after today's upgrade of Mozilla Thunderbird from download.opensuse.org-mozilla openSUSE BuildService - Mozilla repo I encounter unpleasant problems. Another add-on is not working (after Display Mail User Agent, Quote Colors and Password exporter not working since 5.0 also Remove Duplicate Messages) with new version (Thanks for frequent releases!). And Enigmail doesn't work. When I for example write new message, I get pop-up warning The language of Enigmail does not correspond to the language of your application! Enigmail can therefore NOT work. Please install a language pack for Enigmail, available from the 'Language Packs' page on the Enigmail homepage (http://enigmail.mozdev.org/langpack.html) What does it mean? Everything is set to Czech. And the URL above doesn't exist. http://enigmail.mozdev.org/download/langpack.php.html says "The standard Enigmail package contains many languages and can be used with no further requirements in localised versions of Thunderbird and Seamonkey. If your mail client is localised in a language that is not included in Enigmail, then you must install a language pack for Enigmail directly after you installed Enigmail. Please note that the language packs below only work for the specified Enigmail version." Well, there are only lang packs for Basque and Bulgarian. Enigmail was working with Czech TB 5 very well. Now, when I click to Enigmail's preferences I get error Parsing error XML: Undefined entity Address: chrome://enigmail/content/pref-enigmail.xul Line 49, column 1:<dialog id="enigmailPrefsAdv" ^ Nice. It seems I have to switch TB to English, but I don't see any such possibility in preferences. So, I warn everyone non-English user of Enigmail to think twice before upgrade of TB to version 6. And I'd like to ask how to switch TB to English, as mean-time work-around...
