[opensuse] restoring session (optisun64 + command)
by xPol 08 Jan '12

08 Jan '12

I am working on lenovo z570 under opensuse/kde To exploit its nvidia graphic card with firefox, konqueror, chrome, okular, and more applications i have set suitable alias commands in /etc/zshrc to put optrun64 before. Yet, restoring session does not re-execute optirun64, probably because the alias file has not been read by the kde session manager. Any hints? Any suggestions for better ways to globally put a command before the desired applications?

[opensuse] Chromium - What information is collected with 'spdy'? Why doubleclick.net??
by David C. Rankin 08 Jan '12

08 Jan '12

Guys, What is the chromium browser doing with 'spdy' and what all information is it collecting? Familiarizing myself with it a little more I was browsing ~/.config/chromium/Preferences and ran across: "spdy": { "servers": [ "toolbarqueries.google.com:443", "lh3.googleusercontent.com:443", "ssl.google-analytics.com:443", "fls.doubleclick.net:443", "clients2.google.com:443", "chrome.google.com:443", "checkout.google.com:443", "lh5.googleusercontent.com:443", "www.gstatic.com:443", "lh4.googleusercontent.com:443", "ssl.gstatic.com:443", "fonts.googleapis.com:443", "googleads.g.doubleclick.net:443", "lh6.googleusercontent.com:443", "www.googleadservices.com:443", "plusone.google.com:443", "www.google.com:443", "clients2.googleusercontent.com:443" ] }, Immediately "fls.doubleclick.net:443" jumped out as something I really didn't want my browser communicating with. A quick look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPDY disclosed you could examine the spdy session with chrome://net-internals/#events&q=type:SPDY_SESSION%20is:active and looking at that showed 1949 events captured with 1 active. WTF?? Looking at the 'Events' tab a clearing the Filter: window showed quite a bit of information from the sites open and visited. What is this stuff and is it something to be concerned about? -- David C.

[opensuse] Sound Question
by Stephen P. Molnar 08 Jan '12

08 Jan '12

OpenSUSE 12.1 64 bit Yast/Sound shows three sound cards: 0 MCP55 High Definition Audio 1 Solo-1 Audio Adapter 2 USB Audio With the above order of cards the Solo-1 is the only one that produces sound when tested. If I change the order and make the Solo-1 the primary card it becomes mute and the MCP55 card which moves index 2 produces sound when tested. The USB Audio card remains mute regardless of its index. All of the sound devices, speakers, Amarak, etc work, with the exception of the microphone. The opne exception for the microphone is the WebCam microphone works in Firefox if I open the Chat configuration in gmail. Unfortunately, Skype will only use The PulseAudio Server (local) for all of the sound settings. Ringing and the Speakers work, but the microphone remains mute. I have tried every setting on the PulseAudio server and have not managed to enable the microphone. Several questions: What will I mess up if I delete the the MCP55 High Definition Audio and USB Audio cards in Yast? How can I enable the microphone? Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.

Autologin was set, so i have disabled. i will see, next login I think that the similar instruction in kde/'personal settings' should be reconsidered, since that does not seem the right place for such action; moreover it is conflicting with 'system settings' Paolo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 12.1 - BtrFS/LZO or Ext4 on Notebook ???
by andreil1 08 Jan '12

08 Jan '12

Hi ! Anyone can shed any light on this dilemma? I have an idea (may be wrong) to use BtrFS with LZO compression for both /root and /home to reduce disk activity and may be gain some speed (on notebook with dual core Intel i3 and 4 GB of RAM, OpenSuSE 12.1). Does this logic make some sense? Or may be BtrFS is steel too "green" for this purpose? Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, openSUSE is showing only 3.9GB of RAM whereas I have 8GB installed on the system. Sometimes FF takes upto 800MG which slows the browser. I have installed 64bit version which should show full RAM. It shows OK under Ubuntu.
