[opensuse] change in KDE repos/package numbering?
by Ken Schneider - openSUSE 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

I haven't changed any repos in over a month but now it seems many KDE packages want to be downgraded using zypper dup. One example is kdm: v | kdm | package | 4.7.4-6.30.2 | x86_64 | KDE 4.7 Release Packages (openSUSE_12.1) v | kdm | package | 4.7.4-6.30.2 | i586 | KDE 4.7 Release Packages (openSUSE_12.1) v | kdm | package | 4.7.2-6.4.1 | x86_64 | openSUSE 12.1 Local ISO v | kdm | package | 4.7.2-6.4.1 | x86_64 | openSUSE-12.1-Oss v | kdm | package | 4.7.2-6.4.1 | i586 | openSUSE-12.1-Oss i | kdm | package | 4.7.4-10.10 | x86_64 | (System Packages) I have 4.7.4-10.10 installed (as indicated by "(System Packages)") and zypper dup wants to install 4.7.4-6.30.2, obviously a lower version number. And using openSUSE search I cannot find 4.7.4-10.10 (or newer) anywhere. Have the repos been changed at all? I have the following additional repos for KDE added: # | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh ---+-------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------+-------- 1 | KDE_Extra_47 | Additional packages maintained by the KDE team (KDE_Release_47_openSUSE_12.1) | Yes | Yes 2 | KDE_Release_47 | KDE 4.7 Release Packages (openSUSE_12.1) | Yes | Yes 3 | KDE_Unstable_Playground | Unstable KDE Applications (KDE_Release_47_openSUSE_12.1) | Yes | Yes Any hints? -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Where does the charge of the deleted mails go?
by PM 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

Hi, Can one explain me if I am wrong or right in thinking the following: We have emails. Suppose someone has at gmail, like: email_address(a)gmail.com. Does it mean that on the server of gmail.com, some space has been allocated to this address which names itself as "email_address", means which is on the hard-disk space of gmail.com servers, a small block of space? And even when someone has deleted all the mails, even from Trash, where those mail actually goes after getting vanished? Or is it like that the charge of those deleted mails (which was earlier residing on the space allocated on the server) gets neutralized, if it happens, how does it happen? I really don't know if I am missing something or wrongly interpreted this.

[opensuse] how to disable user login
by lynn 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

Hi everyone. I've made a user for a process. getent gives me this:: nslcd-user:x:1481:100::/home/nslcd-user:/bin/bash He shouldn't have a login nor a home folder but useradd asked me for a password. I've tried this: /etc/shadow nslcd-user:*:15352:0:99999:7::: But I don't think this is the right way to do it. Sorry to be lazy, but could someone help me do this?

[opensuse] tsclient
by Greg Freemyer 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

All, OS 12.1 I've had consistency issues with tsclient and I think I figured it out. If I have an open remote desktop session running to Windows 2008 server and I then steal the session by logging into the same server from another windows workstation, then tsclient won't (always?) let me reconnect. the fix is just exit tsclient and restart it. Do others have this problem? If so, I'll open a bug. Thanks Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

FWIW, I noticed this on two of my 12.1 systems - if I restarted the system the time was off by 7 hours (I'm in Utah). The only way I seemed to be able to fix this was to tell the system the clock was set to UTC. I had tried even forcing the hardware clock to local time after using ntp to set the system time, but after a reboot, the time was still off by 7 hours. Is there anyone using local time on their hardware clock with 12.1 where this is working? (And if you are, which DE are you using - I wonder if this might be a GNOME3-only issue) Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Writing a small book... what should I use?
by Roger Luedecke 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

I'm commissioned to start a small book project, and vaguely remember seeing a wikilike piece of software that would facilitate this well. I intend to start with a conceptual outline, and then flesh each section out. Any recommendations? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kmail2 uses nonstandard IMAP flags
by Stefan Gofferje 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

Hi, I just noticed that kmail2 uses it's own IMAP flags. Instead of eg "\Answered" what practically EVERY other IMAP client uses, it uses "$REPLIED". That throws off my other clients, e.g. Hastymail² webmailer... Is there any way to tell kmail2 to behave like any other normal mail client? I'm really starting to get annoyed with those constant extratours of KDE. First that bovine fecal matter that kmail2 ALWAYS sends pgp signatures as PGP/MIME and there is no menu option to select inline signature - which pretty much makes it unuseable because many Windows clients don't understand it, and now that... -S -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje | SCLT, MCP, CCSA //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | VCP #2263 V_/_ Heckler & Koch - the original point and click interface 07:45am up 3:09, 3 users, load average: 0.16, 0.22, 0.18 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] no sound any more
by xPol 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

My sound system has crashed, i guess. My kde/system settings 'multimedia' states that all internal devices were removed; it only sees a 'dummy' output device. Same situation for different users, although yast can detect the intel sound card. Any crucial package has been removed by mistake? Which one? Alsa and phonon appear to be installed... any hints? thank you Paolo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Group Policy settings?
by xPol 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

What is the use of the "Group Policy settings"? i have just discovered that set of commands in my kde/system settings. A group has probably been added by me by mistake, and i cannot remove it any more, because i am asked for an unkownn password (user and root passwords are rejected) Can i safely remove the 'group policy settings'? How can i remove it? thank you Paolo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
