[opensuse] bash scripts from file manager in kde
by George Olson 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

I have written a few bash scripts for synching files to a memory stick and I am wondering, is there a way to execute a script by making an icon and clicking on it from kde? I know how to execute the scripts from the command line using . or sh already, but I haven't been able to figure out how to execute by clicking on the file's icon.

[opensuse] harddisk supply issues?
by Per Jessen 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Just wondering if anyone might have noticed this - I'm staging harddisk purchases such that I get drives that have different manufacturing dates. By buying drives once a month, I get a really good variation. Recently however, I'm seeing that drives (Hitachi Ultrastars) ordered in July/August/September all have manufacturing date March 2011. Is there a supply issue wrt harddrives? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.3°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Greetings list. Server OpenSuSE 11.4 netatalk installed from repos (2.0.3 I think) Client iMac OSX 10.6.8 I have successfully created a time machine backup on the server. So AFP appears to be working. I'm not sure what I'm missing. I can manually connect to the server using AFP but I don't see the server in the chooser. Any ideas ?

[opensuse] installation from an downloaded iso image
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

I know that it is possible to use a downloaded iso file to install opensuse without burning it to a DVD. I was asked by a Window user who is planning to change his OS if it would be possible to do this from a Window environment. Has somebody experience in this respect. The computer has no DVD or CD rom and the USB port is not working right now. Internet connection is okay. -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.1.0-rc7-1-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.1 (4.7.1) 22:00pm up 1:16, 3 users, load average: 1.79, 1.40, 1.39 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] QT Repository
by Mark Misulich 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Hi, a couple of weeks ago I added this Qt repository to get rid of the black screen on bootup bug. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/namtrac:/branches:/KDE:/Qt/… However, the repository presently seems to have gone away, and I can't access it when I try to do an update. Has this repository died, and is there another repository now to take its place? I am using openSuse 11.4 and kde 4.7.

[opensuse] what to put on a _small_ netbook
by Hans Witvliet 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hi, I have to re-install my wife's acer-aspire-one, a small netbook with just 512MB (you have to be a brain surgeon to upgrade the mem). And worse, just a 10" display. Any recommendations? smeegol? 11.4? 12.1? I presume i have to stay away from standard KDE or GNOME... hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] howto get details of 1394 (firewire) device creation on camera plug-in (need BASH test)
by David C. Rankin 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Guys, Working with dvgrab and a firewire link to download digital video, I have run into a problem on camera plug-in to the computer. Sometimes the firewire device is created properly and video downloads fine. Other times, the device is created and is able to control the camera, but cannot download video. Unplugging and replugging the cable in usually cures it. The kernel message for the bad plug-in is: Sep 24 21:21:18 archangel kernel: [2111415.165895] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 Sep 24 21:21:18 archangel kernel: [2111415.800050] firewire_core: created device fw1: GUID 08004601017ede99, S100 For the successful plug-in, you get: Sep 24 21:33:54 archangel kernel: [2112171.169381] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 Sep 24 21:33:57 archangel kernel: [2112174.926294] firewire_core: created device fw1: GUID 08004601017ede99, S100, 1 config ROM retries Note the "1 config ROM retries" appended to the 'fw1' device creation when the plug-in goes correctly. I don't understand what this is or what it means, but I do need to devise a way to test for a successful plug-in from within a BASH script. Now, granted, it is simple enough to grep the message log and look for "1 config ROM retries" within a reasonable time after the plug in, but I know that is a hack... When the device is created, where does it go in the /proc tree? How best to test and what to test for the correct creation of the ROM entries before beginning the dvgrab? Anybody run into this before? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bug on Nautilus (opeSUSE 11.4 - Gnome 3.0.2)
by Marco Calistri 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Gents, Sorry to post this here instead of open a bug, but I'm reminding this now and I wish to be quick: I noticed a bug, or at least "strange behaviour" on Nautilus under openSUSE 11.4 x86_64, Gnome 3.0.2: If you try to delete a folder by selecting the root folder tree on the left of the window and click "move to trash" then Nautilus crashes. Same folder deletion but now selecting a folder from the right pane of the window, doesn't replicate the problem and selected folder went removed.
