Well, with several VMs running, two open Eclipses, two Web browsers, and several other tools, my 8 GB workspace currently has just 1.5-2 GB cache left. swap is more often used here than I imagined when I bought the desktop. I'm already thinking about upgrading to 16 GB. Ah yes, and of course it got RAID-1, as all our workstations have. Two days ago, one of the disks broke down. (Lesson learned: Nagios' smart_check_all is not a replacement for real smartd checks and email notifications by smartd.) I'm happily running with a degraded (software) RAID until Friday, when I'll have time to shut down and insert the new disk. Without RAID-1, I would have to scramble to get a new workstation running or the old one repaired at a very inconvient time while clients wait for deliverables. Disk prices are too cheap nowadays to not use RAID-1, even on workstations, IMHO.

[opensuse] df reports completely different sizes from fdisk

Hi ListMates, Opensuse Linux (Linux sr-server 2.6.37.6-0.7-default #1 SMP 2011-07-21 02:17:24 +0200 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux) I have a very unusual problem where fdisk reports one size BUT df reports a TOTALLY different and unexpected size.

[opensuse] Python error running gramps
by Michael S. Dunsavage 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

I installed gramps and tried running it and it dies with: 660: WARNING: Spell.py: line 67: Spelling checker is not installed WARNING: pyexiv2 module not loaded. Image metadata functionality will not be available. 1865: ERROR: gramps.py: line 142: Unhandled exception ImportError: could not import gobject (could not find _PyGObject_API object) Fatal Python error: can't initialise module gobject I've installed python-extras and python-gobject to no avail. I googled and it seems every question never had an answer, and all bugs were just marked as dupes but I could never find a resolution. -- Michael S.

[opensuse] Issue after update 11.3 to 11.4
by Tony 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

I recently update 2 pc's from 11.3 to 11.4 both using same repo's for non-oss,oss,update and kde release 4.7.0 (it's my understanding 4.7.1 is in kr47 now) After the update any program that needs an icon via gtk, does not display. Like firefox, pidigin, xsane etc......., xfce 4.8 no icons show up any where. For example in firefox 6.02 the go forward, go backword, home icons do not show (workaround is I turned on text labels for icons in ff). When I run firefox from the command line I get a long list of errors as seen below. The Unrecognized image file format repeats itself what changes is the icon name in '' laptops@tslaptop:~> firefox *** nss-shared-helper: Shared database disabled (set NSS_USE_SHARED_DB to enable). (firefox-bin:9162): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'gtk-go-back-ltr' for stock: Unrecognized image file format (firefox-bin:9162): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed ** (firefox-bin:9162): CRITICAL **: clearlooks_style_draw_render_icon: assertion `base_pixbuf != NULL' failed (firefox-bin:9162): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_style_render_iconAside from d: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed (firefox-bin:9162): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (firefox-bin:9162): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (firefox-bin:9162): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'gtk-go-forward-ltr' for stock: Unrecognized image file format (firefox-bin:9162): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed ** (firefox-bin:9162): CRITICAL **: clearlooks_style_draw_render_icon: assertion `base_pixbuf != NULL' failed (firefox-bin:9162): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_style_render_icon: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed (firefox-bin:9162): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (firefox-bin:9162): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (firefox-bin:9162): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'view-refresh' for stock: Unrecognized image file format Prior to the update everything worked fine. I've googled and tried every solution that was posted for this problem. Such as rebuilding icon-cache, setting XDG environment variables, mime-cache etc, none has resolved the issue. Dropping back to 11.3 does solve the problem, which I had to do on my laptop as it is for me, a production box. Any suggestions / help appreciated.

[opensuse] Strange panel behaviour
by Dylan 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Hi All, I'm currently running 11.3 with KDE 4.6.5 "release 8" from /repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.3/ I have set up a panel on the left of the screen which holds the main KDE menu and icons for my most frequently used applications, it is set to Autohide. This has been the case since at least KDE4.1 and has worked as expected. For the last couple of weeks, however, it has been behaving very strangely: immediately after login, the panel is placed 1024 pixels into the desktop (that is, when the mouse pointer hovers 1024 pixels from the left edge, the blue shading appears, then the panel shows itself just before jumping to its correct left-edge position. It remains on the left edge until a window is opened which aligns with the left screen edge - at that point, the panel attaches itself to the right-hand edge of the currently active window (see attached image.) I'm at a loss as to what might be causing this behaviour - any suggestions would be most welcome. Dylan -- " '... but there is so much else behind what I say. It makes itself known to me so slowly, so incompletely! ...' "

That was it. I downgraded to the matching version of the extension (4.0.12) and RDP started working again. I hope that this doesn't screw with USB support..
