[opensuse] Multihomed network install
by Javier Conti 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hi list, I'm trying to (re)install a multihomed server with many interfaces with SLES (in this case, although my curiosity also applies to openSUSE 12.1). I'm using a network install, specifying network parameters and Autoyast XML file on the kernel command line. Using the "netdev" parameter, I'm able to specify which interface to use, but the problem is that interfaces don't get the same names across reboots and only one has connection to the install server. I have to try several times until it boots with the correct name/interface association. Is there a way to specify the interface by MAC address instead of by name? Thanks, Javier -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] [OT] GPS software on openSUSE/Linux
by Roger Oberholtzer 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

I have been using Navit as a live moving map driven by current locations provided by a GPS receiver. In fact, after a bit of fiddling, it works surprisingly well as a part of a larger measurement system, sharing the GPS with other interested apps. The use of Open Street Map data, and not requiring a connection to the internet to make live maps is really great. In fact, working without an I want to add a feature that, I fear, is not really what Navit wants to do. So I am exploring alternatives. I need to add the ability to have a planned route shown and that, as components of the route are completed, are indicated as being completed. In addition, the operator should be able to manipulate this status. How this is to be done is not carved in stone. I know that this is possible in the old ESRI ArcPad application. But I do not think this is supported on Linux anymore. An earlier version was written in Java and could be used. That is no longer available. So I am exploring open source alternatives. Are there any decent GPS live map applications that anyone is running on openSUSE that have this flexibility?

[opensuse] RecordMyDesktop Working and not working
by Swapnil Bhartiya 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi, I am a strange position. I have couple of PC which I am running openSUSE and Ubuntu. I create screen casts for my stories and under openSUSE there is a strange situation. When I run recordmydesktop under opneSUSE 12.1 on my Dell xps 1330 it works great. But when I try to run it on my main PC which has Nvidia card it doesn't work. It hangs. I tried running it on a fresh install on the same PC without nvidia drivers still it did not run. It runs well under Ubuntu. What can be the cause and what is the solution?

[opensuse] cannot see folders or accounts in kmail
by George Olson 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi everyone, I am using OS 12.1 and kontact 4.7.2. I normally am using thunderbird but I had a working kmail setup in 11.4 with the corresponding version. I upgraded to openSUSE 12.1. some time ago. Today for the first time I tried to open up kmail, and upon migration I got the error "failed to fetch the resource collection" and it would terminate before allowing me to do anything. so I saw on another thread to delete the /home/george/.local/share/akonadi file for a calendar problem. I did that, and kmail started up fine. I set up to reconfigure my accounts, I don't need them to be exactly the same as was before, and so I configured them and they all connect to the server. However nothing at all shows up in the left side window of kmail that should show the accounts and folders. I have 2 imap accounts and 2 pop3 accounts. On the imap accounts, I have "show serverside subscription" checked, but if I click on the box to show which subscriptions to show, the list is blank for both accounts. Any ideas on where to look next or what to do? George -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Help with keyboard and mouse
by eddie 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi All I have a strange problem and I'm hoping that someone else has experienced this or knows what's going on and how to resolve it. At the kdm login the mouse is immobile or invisible and the keyboard seems unresponsive. However, if I type in my password and then change to a console screen and then back, the password is entered. The login progresses a bit and then seems to pause. By switching to a console screen and then back again the login continues to completion. That is what happens. I make key presses and or mouse movements when I switch to a console screen and then back the key press or mouse movement is executed. If I switch to a console, the keyboard works fine. It started happening with opensuse 11.4 so I decided to upgrade to 12.1 thinking that it would resolve itself but it still continues. In fact, I could only complete the installation by switching to and from console screens. I did the installation as a new install and not an upgrade. Any thoughts, anyone? Would be grateful for any help. Thanks in advance. Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
