[opensuse] Problem With Google-Talkplugin on 12.1
by Stephen P. Molnar 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

google-talkplugin_current_x86_64.rpm (2.5.6.0.1) oh openSUSE 12.1 64 bit Opera/9.80 (X112: linux x86_64; U; en) Presto/2.10.229 Version/11.60 The rpm installed via Yast with no warning or error messages. However, Opera fails to find the app. I know that the webcam is functional as Firefox/Gmail finds it. The installer put the files in /opt/google/talkplugin. Opera is installed in /usr/bin/opera /usr/lib64/opera /usr/bin/X11/opera /usr/share/opera /usr/share/ Googleing the problem has not found any solution (they may be there, but I can't find them). Help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.

[opensuse] patch management for OpenSUSE or SLES?
by Meike Stone 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

Hello, does anyone know a software for organizing patches (and possibly software too) for a data center with a lot of server. Before distribute the patches, they should be manually tested on separate machines and approved from a responsible person and than released only to dedicated servers or server groups. We need also an overview about installed patches and packages. I know ZENworks Linux Management, but does anyone know other similar software to do that? Operationsystem is SLES or OpenSuSE, if necessary only SLES is possible.

[opensuse] flash is so not idiot-proof
by sc 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

list-- a month or so back i had to install a special flash plugin because i had been getting random flashing white rectangles in the movie window -- part of that process involved blacklisting flash so an update would not replace that special version for a week or so now i have been unable to play any flash video from web sites i tried installing flash from Yast, and the first time it made me remove an X from the checkbox -- i *think* that removed the blacklist, but for all i know there are other remnants lying about somewhere i tried downloading the _tar.gz from adobe, which expands into several modules off usr/, and as root copied each one into its respective directory the adobe website assumes everyone is using either windows or mac or yum, whatever that is i tried installing gnash from yast so far nothing i have tried enables me to view flash content on the web suse: 11.4 kde: 4.7.2 firefox: 9.0.1 adblock plus 2.0.3 any help will be greatly appreciated sc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] can't start xfce
by lynn 09 Jan '12

09 Jan '12

Hi everyone 12.1 updated today. I just installed xfce using the yast pattern. Choosing xfce session at the kdm login screen takes me to kde. I optimistically added: /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/sessions/xfce4.desktop [Desktop Entry] X-SuSE-translate=true Encoding=UTF-8 Type=XSession Exec=/usr/bin/startxfce4 TryExec=/usr/bin/startxfce4 Name=KDE Plasma Workspace Comment=xfce Still nothing. How do I start xfce? Thanks L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] DHCP lease requests
by Lew Wolfgang 09 Jan '12

09 Jan '12

Hi Folks, I noticed that 12.1 seems to have changed DHCP behavior where a new lease is not requested when the network interface is brought up. This manifests itself when an Ethernet cable is moved from one network to another. The DHCP-obtained parameters, including IP address, netmask and default gateway, "stick". The configuration persists through reboots and manually bouncing the network. Yesterday the only way I could get it to reset was to remove the lease files in /var/lib/dhcpd, then bounce the network. This behavior is new to 12.1, has anyone else noticed it? How can we tell the DHCP client to re-obtain a lease when its interface is brought up? This behavior noticed on more than one install of x86-64. Thanks, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Cheese is very slow to record video... unusably so
by Roger Luedecke 09 Jan '12

I think its doing maybe one frame per 10 seconds. Not even sure where to start. I have used this on browser based Flash powered sites fine, and under Winblow$ just fine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

The packages for it have been made available in OBS. But, I would like a one click just to make sure I don't screw up something i have no experience with. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] System Slow Hard Drive Churning
by Swapnil Bhartiya 09 Jan '12

09 Jan '12

Hi, I am noting a new issues for the last two days. Some times my system goes slow and all I hear is HDD noise as if its trying to access data. The entire PC almost hangs and have to do a hard reboot. PC configuration: Intel i5 8GB RAM 3 HDDs. The same issue is on Ubuntu as well. One change that I did make to my system was replaced the stock CPU fan with CoolMaster 212 fan and changed BIOS settings to silent as it was running at full speed.
