[opensuse] Nvidia problems
by ianseeks 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Hi Has anyone's graphic config gone tits up? I've run Yast and it downloaded some updated Nvidia files and now i can't load a graphics session without using the "Failsafe" option. >From what i can see, the correct nvidia modules are installed (according to nvidia's site) but... depending how i check which board i have installed i can get more than one description of the board. If i use Yast/Hardware, it tells me its a GT200 Geforce 200 (Display section) and a GT218 (Framebuffer section). Now if i save that Yast/Hardware output to a file and search for "nvidia" in that file, it tells me its a Geforce FX5500 I've got this installed:- nvidia-gtxG01-kmp-desktop vers: 173.14.36_k2.6.37.1_1.2-17.1 X11-video-nvidiaG01 vers: 173.14.36-18.1 Can anyone point me to a place to check what the problem is? What also worries me that using the standard tools (Yast2) for updating, it can install "bad" versions (in the sense there is a mismatch somewhere). I really hate these graphics issues as they baffle me no end. regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] XFCE : Purpose of /.cache/tracker/meta.db ??
by ellanios82 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

- having asked : Purpose of /.cache/tracker/meta.db ?? ........... Jos Poortvliet kindly explained : About the relationship with Akonadi, it is a very different thing. Tracker is more like Nepomuk (but tracker has a smaller scope - it mostly just indexes text, while Nepomuk tries to find and track relations between data). Akonadi is a (shared) cache of PIM data (mails, contacts, tweets, facebook messages, stuff like that). Akonadi uses Nepomuk to index and search the data in its cache. ............ - Many thanks, Jos best regards Ellan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Browsers : google-chrome, and, chromium
by ellanios82 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

- i had asked & Rajko answered : > - what please are the key differences between > google-chrome, and, chromium ?? The important one is that Chromium is for Chrome browser, what is openSUSE to SUSE enterprise products, or Fedora to Red Hat enterprise products. It is test bed without few things that make user experience better. -- regards Ellan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] libreoffice - how to debug printing problems?
by Per Jessen 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

I have a user who has occasional problems printing from libreoffice to our cups printserver. From the user's point of view, the print out has worked, there is no error message shown, but nothing is queued to the printer. After closing LO and starting up again, printing works. We've been using this setup for years, but the user's desktop was recently upgraded to openSUSE 12.2. Where do I go to find debugging information? Are there log files produced by libre office or can I turn on debugging? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

by bradyan 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Hi all, Last night,I upgraded my opensuse from 12.1 to 12.2 using zypper. After I reboot my system,opensuse failed to get into KDE. I have checked the Xorg.0.log, it said about fglrx,the ati linux driver. So I reinstalled amd linux driver in 12.2,it failed to install completely.It still can't into KDE. Can this problem be solved?
