[opensuse] Thunderbird version
by Bob Williams 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

The version of Thunderbird in the oS repositories is 3.1.14, but Lightning doesn't work with this version. Apparently Tbird is up to versions 6 or 7. What do people here use?

[opensuse] KDE desktop bar on multiple monitors
by James Knott 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

I run an openSUSE 11.4 server at work and use XDMCP to access the desktop remotely. The monitor attached to the server runs 720p, my desktop computer has a 1080p monitor and my notebook a mere 1024 x768 display. One thing I've noticed is the bar at the bottom of the screen does not adjust to the various display sizes, as happened in 11.0. It seems to stay at whatever I set on a previous display. i.e. right now it's narrower than my 1080 display, because I last adjusted it on the 720. Anyway around this? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] PDF in Firefox not working on 11.3
by Dave Howorth 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

I have a problem with displaying PDF documents in Firefox in one machine. It used to work but over the past week or two it has stopped. When I click on a link to a PDF, I get a blank Firefox window. But if on the original HTML page I right-click and Save Link As, it downloads and saves the file just fine as it does if I download the file with wget. Has anybody seen this type of behaviour recently, or can suggest methods to investigate/fix it? opensuse 11.3 64-bit, firefox 3.6.22, adobe reader 9.4. All up-to-date from standard repositories. Cheers, Dave PS Very occasionally, it does display the PDF in the browser. I haven't yet figured out what circumstances make it do that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Howto repair - corrupt jpeg file - anything new out there?
by David C. Rankin 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

Braintrust, (graphics file gurus): I have a handful of family pictures that have gotten corrupted somehow. A majority have the thumbnails in place showing the initial exif header is in good shape, but the scan section may be hosed. All pictures were taken from the same kodak camera, so a hex edit replacement of the jpg header may be an option. I don't know, I've just been googling for ideas. I suspect the corruption occurred in the copy from the flash drive to the hard-disk. The flash drive is long long overwritten. I'm looking for any and all ideas. Different apps, different potential mods/recompiles to libjpeg, anything?? I've tried the different apps, gimp, kview, convert, etc.. convert gives the most descriptive error: family_pictures/2008/12> convert 2008-12-24-095905.jpg -resize 95% ~/tmp/2008-12-24-095905.jpg convert: Corrupt JPEG data: 3896 extraneous bytes before marker 0x51 `2008-12-24-095905.jpg' @ warning/jpeg.c/JPEGWarningHandler/325. convert: Unsupported marker type 0x51 2008-12-24-095905.jpg @ error/jpeg.c/JPEGErrorHandler/297. convert: missing an image filename `/home/david/tmp/2008-12-24-095905.jpg' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3015. From the error I can tell that there is a messed up jpeg marker, but I haven't a clue to what markers are legit and what aren't. (obviously it doesn't like 0x51...) What say the gurus? Anyone every solved something like this before? -- David C.

[opensuse] mount question
by Istvan Gabor 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Hello: I have openSUSE 11.2 with KDE3. I have several partitions on my hard disk which are not mounted automatically at boot since the 'noauto' option is used in fstab. But they can be mounted manually by any user since the 'users' option is also given in fstab. OK, here is my problem: When I login to my user name some of the partitions become mounted on the contrary of the abovementioned settings. If I login with other user name, the same partitions are not mounted. I think the culprit can be gnome. I used a few weeks ago gnome control center and/or nautilus file manager and this automounting activity started after that, I guess. I need help how I could turn off auto mounting. Any idea?

[opensuse] zypper [up vs patch && dup {from 11.3 to 11.4 ??}
by J(tWdy)P 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Hello. I'm a multi-Linux distro Multi-boot user. I have a strong preference for text based package managements systems that can be run when X isn't. Currently I have a better understanding of apt-get, pacman and equo from my Ubuntu, Arch, and Sabayon installations than I have of zypper. I've looked at man zypper on my OpenSuSE 11.3 installation. But as much as I like Linux, and have been using it for years, I still get easily confused by much of the documentation. So please bear with me if I only partially understand what I'm talking about... First question: "zypper up vs zypper patch": I gather that zypper up (without arguments) will update all installed packages to the latest available versions except when the vendor changed or some manual dependency issues are involved. Whereas zypper patch (without args) will install all needed patches (which will sometimes even remove existing software and WILL change the package vendor if needed. (I suspect that it will even downgrade a package if necessary. And that it won't touch any packages outside the scope of the patch involved...) So in general I reason that to keep a system properly up to date, both are sometimes needed. But if one is going to do both, is it better to: "zypper patch" before or after "zypper up"??? My other question is possibly more specific. I can't say I really understand the repos. In general I wouldn't make changes to my repo list unless I started to get errors... (I'm afraid I'll mess them up) But looking at the man information for "zypper dup" I gather that it's possible to upgrade an existing openSuSE 11.3 to 11.4 (or higher if applicable) with "zypper dup" (I do hope so. As I really hate having to recreate my user environment (such as keyboard shortcuts that are drastically different from the defaults etc... And having to manually add all my preferred applications like I would if I simply burned the latest iso and reinstalled) And I think I understand that it's best to first make sure the correct repos for the new version are installed and selected... But I'm almost clueless when it comes down to how to go about doing that... There's a copy of the current output of "zypper lr" at: http://pastebin.com/DVJcGgBJ Could somebody walk me through the process of setting my repos up for the dist-upgrade??? Or at least point me at a how-to that doesn't expect me to be a computer science graduate...
