[opensuse] YaST2 software manager questions
by George OLson 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

Hi everyone, Questions on YaST2. Whenever I load up the software manager, it goes to the normal startup screen, "Starting the Software Manager." It has 2 things it has to do: - Initialize the Target System - Load the Configured Repositories The first item is always checked and completed right away. The 2nd item always takes a long, long time to load. It indicates it is downloading something from an ftp site for a remote something or other. Inevitably I get multiple instances of a dialog box saying something about not being able to connect or not finding something, and asking if I want to "skip autorefresh" or retry or abort. Sometimes if I make sure and try and wait to have it finish (by clicking "retry" whenever the dialog box comes up), I may have to wait up to 45 minutes for the process to complete, depending on internet speed at the given time. If I hit "skip autorefresh", it is much faster and gets me to the screen I need to find packages right away. Here are my questions: - what exactly is it downloading from the ftp site? - if these are "configured" repositories, doesn't that mean they are already installed on my system? - If so, why does it need to connect to the internet to download something, when these things are already installed? Thanks in advance for helping me understand my system better. George -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] cannot adjust bash profile settings
by george olson 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

Hi all, I am setting up my laptop with OS 11.4 32 bit and KDE 4.6.00. Just a few setup problems. First of all, I have a high resolution monitor, so all my fonts are small. I am working on that. But the first thing I want to adjust is the profile setting on bash. I go to settings -> configure profiles -> edit profile, and I try to change from small font black background with green color to white or anything else, and it won't adjust. I tried to slide the slider bar to make the font bigger, and on the dialog box it shows a bigger font, but it does not take the bigger font. The "apply" button doesn't do anything, or gray out or apply any changes no matter what changes I make. I have made the adjustment on my other pc with no problem. It seems like the application of any changes I make is disabled, whether I hit the apply button or the ok button. Can anyone tell me what to do next? Thanks George -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Upgrading Python in v11,4
by Stan Goodman 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

What my system has is Python v2.7, which it got from the DVD original installation. I found what I take to be the right repo to update from: <http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/openSUSE…> and tried to add it to the repos in YaST. The retort from YaST is: ***** Unable to create repository from URL 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/openSUSE…' ***** Why? -- 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] Screen resolution problem
by Anders Norrbring 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi all.. I'm having a screen resolution problem on my HP laptop with ATI Radeon mobility. When installing openSUSE I chose 1280x1024 for my screen, it worked perfectly on both the laptop screen and the external VGA monitor. But, when I start X and KDE, the resolution on the external VGA goes down to 1024x768 while the desktop is still presented in 1280x1024. How can I force the external VGA into showing the full 1280x1024 screen? When I look in the global screen options in KDE, the maximum for VGA is showing 1024x768 while the internal LCD can be set to 1680x1050..

[opensuse] GNOME Desktop: Why diversity on the "BLACK" tones
by Marco Calistri 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi, I Noticed in the past and currently that GNOME is generally representing a "less dark" BLACK than KDE, when showing black text on the screen. Tonite I noticed other little detail: under GNOME 3.0.2 Desktop, Evolution is showing a TXT composed email as light-black/gray tone, while an HTML composed email appears with a better, brilliant, darker black. Wonder why this happens and if exists a way to set a "super dark" black, independently of the type of the desktop environment/application. Please see the attached pictures, to better understand what I mean: Evolution under GNOME 3.0.2 HTML Rendering: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amdturion/6074882873/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Evolution under GNOME 3.0.2 TXT Rendering: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amdturion/6074882749/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Cheers, -- Marco Calistri (amdturion) opensuse 11.4 Celadon - Linux 2.6.37.6-0.7-desktop x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology MK-36 - GeForce Go 6150 Gnome 3.0.2 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KMail2, moving and copying broken
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Since some time now I have problems with copying and moving of emails. In one case I wanted to return an email which slipped through the filter from a sub- folder into the inbox. It was moved but not into the inbox but under the "KMail Folder" which is the main header for the folders. Just now I wanted to copy an email from the sent-mail folder into the inbox with the same end-result. Emails which are landing int this "KMail Folder" can be read but not deleted moved or mishandled in any other form. This "KMail Folder" header is a non existent part of the kmail2 contents and a removal with force with midnight commander is not possible. The emails do not pose a problem. It is the handling of moving and copying of emails back to the inbox which is problematic. Anybody who can replicate this behavior? -- 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) 21:17pm up 6:47, 3 users, load average: 3.99, 3.65, 3.28 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Cannot "send link" from Firefox under KDE4.7
by Anton Aylward 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Please see http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Changing%20the%20e-mail%20program%20use… for the basics & background. I'm talking about the "Send link" option from the _F_ile menu. I've experimented and this doesn't work. What I've done is set up a shell script that uses 'logger' to indicate its been invoked and then execute 'thunderbird', in place of the calls to 'thunderbird' in the instructions of the above. Its clear that this script is NOT getting executed. The script does work, I've used it manually. The path - whatever - from Firefox by whatever internal path is not executing the program filled in. I've tried this with both the Firefox from the openSuSE repository and the one downloaded Mozilla. This is currently FF 6 and TB 6, but I tried upgrading because this problem arose with FF 5 and TB 5 under KDE4.7 -- "Do not be quick to reveal judgement. Hidden judgement often is more potent.

Have the opensuse emails all in their dedicated folder. The nice point of answering was that under the properties of this folder you can tell it with which email provider you want it to send. This does not seem to work anymore. If I send the response email to the list the default isp is used and not the isp which I use among others for the list. Even if I have the right address in the header it comes back with the info that the list is a "subscriber list only". Looked under properties and everything was as it should be.

[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?

[opensuse] updating HD device id, best practice
by James Pifer 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...
