I can still play my CD, have system sound BUT no sound when I run RealPlayer. /var/log/message said kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? but KDE sound still work. I have re-installed RealPlayer 3 times now, still no sound when I run the RealPlayer. Any help is appreciated.

Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi all, Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no? end of line Tracer Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash -- ---KMail 1.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

[opensuse] DenyHosts daemon mode on openSUSE 11.3
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Hi, I am trying to run DenyHosts on OS 11.3. I can get it to sync and update the hosts.deny file, but with "rcdenyhosts status" it reports as being "unused" just after I started it with "rcdenyhosts start". I tried also with yast, setting up as a service (daemon) and starting it. It also stops immediately. In the denyhosts.log file there is no error info, just what it used to set it up at start. I've gone through the configs several times, no joy. Anyone got DenyHosts running properly? :-/ Dreiel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Android print solution?
by David C. Rankin 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Guys, With the iphone we were able to configure good print function via CUPS/Avahi, is there anything similar that can be done with an Android tablet? Looking, it doesn't appear that there is any basic print capability provided by Android (3.2 Honeycomb). I would like to print to by openSuSE server in the same manner I do from iOS. Anybody found a good solution? I have found PrintBot, but that isn't a solution because it cannot be used legally where confidentiality is required. (data is transferred to a 3rd party server before printing). I need to find a direct print solution. What says the braintrust? -- David C.

"trust"??? OK if I'm supposed to add keys based on trust, how to subtract Microsoft??? {snicker} Actually I'm wondering about this: These public keys are effectively embedded in the kernel code somehow right? Or would it be possible for knowledgeable PC owner, to create his own "trust" key set. And then use it to "sign" an existing, older, formerly unsigned kernel.

[opensuse] watermarks when printing with cups ?
by Per Jessen 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

I'm experimenting with adding a watermark/letterhead to a cups printing queue. I've seen a couple of suggestions on the net, the most promising ones by way of a cups filter and some postscript trickery. My problem is right now that the printjobs are sent as PJL, which ps2pdf, pdftk etc. cannot or will not deal with. My situation is essentially - I have a letterhead document (in odt, pdf or ps format) that I would like to add to every page printed in a dedicated cups queue. I don't want to fiddle with the *office setup on any individual PC, I want this to happen transparently.

[opensuse] Can't boot VM - need to have a kernel first?
by Greg Freemyer 06 Jan '13

06 Jan '13

All, I've got a vmware VM I haven't used a few weeks. This is a Win7 laptop, but the VM is openSUSE 12.2. When I try to boot it tells me it can't load the initial ram disk because it has to have a kernel loaded first. I've attached a screenprint. I've got other openSUSE VM's on this laptop, but I don't have a openSUSE ISO / CD / DVD handy. What's a good way to fix this? If I download the network install CD, will it have a repair option? fyi: Nothing overly valuable on VM, I just have it configured to do packaging work, so it will save me some hassle not to have trash it.

[opensuse] The 12.2 installer is smarter than I thought
by Anton Aylward 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

A while back I asked about upgrading Mandriva to openSuse and wondered how smart the installer was. was told that cross distribution upgrades normally didn't work, but that Mageia was written by people that had left mandrake when it became Mandriva and that Mageia could update Mandrake/Mandriva. See early post for my reasons. Well thank you guys, I did upgrade to Mageia 2 and am happy with that. But I also put Mageia on a scratch machine and pushed it around in was that I wouldn't dream of for a production machine .... you know the kind of abuse .... :-) And then I decided to put openSuse 12.2 on the scratch machine. In went the DVD, reboot and when it do the the screen where I said "probing ..." it then offered "Install or upgrade". WTF I picked upgrade and Lo And Behold the installer was smart enough to upgrade my Mageia to openSuse ! Well almost. When it got to the bootloader it tried to install LILO. Nonono, I'd been using grub. I went back and it did not offer me a choice of the bootloader. It then muffed Lilo and and I had a system that wouldn't boot. You can, I found, "upgrade" all over again, but it still doesn't want to use grub.

[opensuse] openSUSE 12.2 lockup starting DM after exiting startx

I've a bunch of systems with OS 12.2, but only one or two with TDE.

If as normal user I do startx -- :1, exit TDE, and then switch to runlevel 5, the system quickly locks up completely, and puts the display in sleep mode.

[opensuse] automount 12.2: anything changed concerning wildcard keys?
by Joachim Schrod 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

Hi, I'm updating a 11.4 system to 12.2, so the change of behavior mentioned below might have happened in between. But I don't have appropriate systems with intermediate distributions to check, so I ask here... I use autofs (a.k.a. automount), with an entry in auto.master /net /etc/auto.net -soft,intr /etc/auto.net reads: * &:/ I.e., any host's root file system shall be available as an NFS share via /net/$HOST. In 11.4, this works. In 12.2, it doesn't. Starting automount with debug/foreground/verbose options (or calling autofs with -m) explains that the respective key (the host name) for /net is not known. Well, it shall be looked up and mounted by automount, but isn't... :-( There are no further error messages in automount output; not anything that would supply a lead for the root cause. I'm not yet ready to debug automount to get further information. ;-) I googled and didn't find any documented change of semantics for autofs/automount. Is this an expected change of behavior, or is this a bug?

I am still using 11.0. For some reason, upgrades don't work on this box. Another problem for another day. Anyway I upgraded firefox from 3.5 which was in the repo to 16.0.2. I did it from their site, not a suse rpm, because there is none for 11.0 anymore. I installed firefox at /usr/bin/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/bin/X11/firefox Then I could not see videos. It told me to upgrade flash so I did, from the site given in the error message. It is installed at /usr/bin/flashplayer /usr/bin/X11/flashplayer and /usr/lib/flash-plugin KDE is 3.5.9 I still get the message that I need to upgrade flash and of course, can't see any video such as youtube.

[opensuse] Setting up VNC - problems (was: XDMCP as an alternative to a KVM switch
by Anton Aylward 24 Dec '12

24 Dec '12

Well I tried for VNC rather than XDMCP. I installed TigerVNC on my desktop and on my mandriva-upgraded-to-Mageia2 server (thanks for the reference to that solution!) It went remarkably well. There's now a TigerVNC client menu item and I get a window asking for the server and the password. After starting (manually, I haven't bolted it into systemd yet) the server on the server, I filled in the popup and LO! IT WORKED FIRST TIME !! But I'm not pleased because it didn't really work. I got the window from the server (ain't it nice having a big screen so you can have an almost as bit window to another machine ... :-) ) BUT what was in it wasn't my desktop. It was a couple of xterms with error messages about 'locale'. I've tried fiddling with the ~/.vnc/xstartup but so far have had not resolved that. Googling around has produced some examples and ideas but none have worked so far. If anyone has any suggestions I'm open to ideas. Thanks. -- It is bad luck to be superstitious. - Andrew W.

[opensuse] How to get sshguard working in 12.2
by Lew Wolfgang 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Hi Folks, I started to use sshguard <http://www.sshguard.net/> with openSuSE 12.1. The package I had been using for many years to protect Internet facing servers from brute force attacks still worked, but it was a hassle to update the regex log scanning glue when bumping OS versions. I really like sshguard, but I had some issues installing it in 12.1 even though the package was available in the openSuSE "security" repository. The main problem was SuSEfirewall2 re-initializing the iptable rules after sshguard during the boot process. Christian (IIRC) helped me to sort things out with the SysV init scripts. But what worked in 12.1 failed in 12.2, it seems that systemd is behaving differently. So I re-addressed the issue and figured out a workaround using custom firewall rules. It would be nice if all this could be sorted out for 12.3, but I thought it valuable to document a workaround for 12.2. sshguard is a good package, but it will never work out-of-the-box without some fumbling around. My workaround will only protect ssh, but it's easy to modify to include other services. Another note: The workaround below doesn't seem to work with IPv6, so I included a line to disable IPv6 in the ssh daemon. This will work in my environment and should give me a chance to sort out what's wrong. Regards, Lew 1: Add the sshguard package from the security repository zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security/openSUSE_12.2/ opensuse-security zypper install sshguard 2: Edit /etc/sysconfig/sshguard and change ATTACK_ATTEMPTS from 4 to 40: ATTACK_ATTEMPTS="40" 3: In /etc/init.d/sshguard comment out the lines as shown: # Reset status of this service rc_reset case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting SSHGUARD " # iptables_start setup_cmdline /sbin/startproc -q $SSHGUARD_BIN $cmdline rc_status -v ;; stop) echo -n "Shutting down SSHGUARD " /sbin/killproc -q -TERM $SSHGUARD_BIN # iptables_stop rc_status -v 4: Enable the sshguard service in yast, or by running: insserv sshguard 5: Enable custom firewall rules in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 by uncommenting the line as shown: FW_CUSTOMRULES="/etc/sysconfig/scripts/SuSEfirewall2-custom" Then comment out the following line: #FW_CUSTOMRULES="" 6: In /etc/sysconfig/scripts/SuSEfirewall2-custom, add the two lines as shown: fw_custom_after_chain_creation() { # these rules will be loaded after the various input_* and forward_* chains # are created. # You can use this hook to allow/deny certain IP protocols or TCP/UDP # ports before the SuSEfirewall2 generated rules are hit. #example: always filter backorifice/netbus trojan connect requests and log them. #for target in LOG DROP; do # for chain in input_ext input_dmz input_int forward_int forward_ext forward_dmz; do # iptables -A $chain -j $target -p tcp --dport 31337 # iptables -A $chain -j $target -p udp --dport 31337 # iptables -A $chain -j $target -p tcp --dport 12345:12346 # iptables -A $chain -j $target -p udp --dport 12345:12346 # done #done Add>>> iptables -N sshguard Add>>> iptables -I INPUT 4 -p tcp --dport 22 -j sshguard true } 7: 7: In /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 comment out the FW_CUSTOMRULES line: #FW_CUSTOMRULES="" 8: To make sshd listen only for IPv4 traffic, uncomment the AddressFamily line and change to: AddressFamily inet Then run "/etc/init.d/sshd restart" A reboot at this time is probably advisable to reset/initialize everything. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to set up a fast search for file names?
by Davi C. Rodrigues 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

I do like the fast and simple interface of krunner. I just start typing on the desktop and it starts the search. Problem: I cannot configure it to look for file names only. Most of the time, the single search engine I need is for file names, not for file contents. Is there a way to set this? The desired output I can achieve by using the Find within Dolphin, except for two issues: 1) It takes more time to open Dolphin, press Ctrl+F and then starting typing. 2) Each typed word in the search field must appear in the same order of the file name. Hence, if a file is named "Dogs and cats need air.pdf", a search with the entry "cats air" will not find that file. Any ideas?

Nope. The first time I posted about this was after a fresh install of nothing but XFCE.

[opensuse] XDMCP as an alternative to a KVM switch
by Anton Aylward 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

For years I've used a KVM switch between the machines on and under my desk. between upgrades and acquisitions I'm getting unhappy with this. One acquisition is a larger screen and the KVM is getting in the way of EDID with some of the machines/video cards. So I'm wondering about the alternatives. XDMCP is one. Creating lots of virtual screens aka workspaces (depending on the DM you're using) and opening a telnet in each then ssh'ing or vnc'ing is one way. I can't say its wonderful, not least of all since my desktop runs KDE4 and other machines run variously Xfce and E17 and LXDE and IceWM and openbox ... or can; the Xfce login manager makes it easy to choose between them when the KVM selects the server ... But not all login managers support XDMCP. What do those of you in this situation do? -- I don't suffer from insanity.

[opensuse] Is Gfxboot, not the 'master' of Grub(L) bootscreensize setting, in oS122?
by Oddball 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hi List, As the 64GB Runcore of my eee-pc 901 died a sudden death, i use a younger brother/sister, until my new 128GB ssd arrives. As you know, i, as many others, do not like the default bootscreens, so i had to pimp them. My more negative experiences with Grub2, made me decide to use Grub Legacy. It makes use of Gfxboot, with /boot/message. This model has a resolution of 1366x768. These commands change the size in the cfg file, which is true. # gfxboot --change-config 1366x768::screen.size=1366,768 1366x768::mainmenu.pos=400,200 1366x768::bootopt.pos=200,750 # gfxboot --change-config layout=1366x768,boot However, despite putting the right image size in place, there is no change in the blurry fonts&size, and no image is loaded. I tried this earlier by just altering the cfg file, with no result either. My question: Is there a 'master' setting applied, somewhere, and if: where? to set/change the bootscreen size? Kind regards, Rob. -- Have a nice day.. Oddball.

[opensuse] Configuring a working Suspend-to-Disk method?
by Bjoern Voigt 16 Dec '12

16 Dec '12

Hello, I'd like to use Suspend-to-Disk on one of my computers. The normal openSUSE methods (tested: KDE start menu and "powersave -U") do not work as expected. The computer suspends and switches off, but after switch-on I see, that the kernel does not find a valid hibernation image: $ dmesg [...] [ 3.884656] PM: Starting manual resume from disk [ 3.884659] PM: Hibernation image partition 8:3 present [ 3.884659] PM: Looking for hibernation image. [ 3.884809] PM: Image not found (code -22) [ 3.884809] PM: Hibernation image not present or could not be loaded. [...] After some debugging with /usr/src/linux-*/Documentation/power/basic-pm-debugging.txt I found that the following method # echo platform > /sys/power/disk # echo disk > /sys/power/state works ok. Debugging with http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Suspend_to_disk was not successful. I am not sure, but I believe, that problems in my setup are caused by s2disk. My question: Is it possible to configure openSUSE so, that the working method ("echo disk > /sys/power/state", see above) is used in KDE and maybe in "powersave -U" instead of the other method (s2disk)?

[opensuse] installation from live cd or install dvd?
by George Olson 16 Dec '12

16 Dec '12

Hi everyone, This is just a general question, but I am interested in different points of view. I read about some people installing openSUSE from the live CD, and others installing openSUSE from the install DVD. I have only done installations from the install DVD, whether they were upgrades or clean installs. So my question is, what is the advantage and why do people do an installation from the live CD? I have used a live CD or a live USB boot stick for various things from time to time (usually testing), so I am very curious as to why someone would want to use that to do an installation. I know there is an installation option on the boot menu. It just seems that there is just a ton more software available on the install DVD than on the live CD, although of course it would always be possible to set up the repositories and do a full system update. And now with openSUSE 12.2, the installation from the DVD doesn't take more than about 15 minutes, at least on the different machines I have made the installations on. -- George Olson Box #1: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.2 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | ATI Radeon HD 3300 | 16GB Box #2: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.1 | AMD Athlon X3 | 64 | nVidia C61 GeForce 7025 | 4GB Laptop: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.2 | Core i7-2620M | 64 | Intel HD Graphics 3000 | 8GB learning openSUSE and loving it -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Q: Moving Software RAID 0 to another server
by andreil1 15 Dec '12

15 Dec '12

Hi, folks ! I was requested to move software SATA RAID 0 (no LVM) from one OpenSUSE server to another. Both are Intel based but 2nd is much more beefy. I have checked which kernel modules are required for server #2 and loaded into initial ramdisk. Apart from adding kernel modules to initrd, what else should be checked in order to load system on PC #2? /etc/fstab entries / mount points options? What would be the best options for /etc/fstab/ entries (taking into account software RAID 0 config): UUID, Device ID, Device path ? Anything else to be taken into consideration (apart from re-assgning network cards)? This is working server, used for web / mail / calendaring / IP telephony for 5 offices simultaneously, so I had to be very quick even if move will be performed on holidays.

[opensuse] YaST appears 'squished'
by Monte Milanuk 15 Dec '12

15 Dec '12

So... new install of 12.2 on Lenovo ThinkPad T530, 1600x900 resolution, selected XFCE as default WM. When I open up any YaST module , it always comes up in a fairly small box on the screen (maybe 4" w x 3"h) regardless of how it is configured when I close it out. I then have to drag/expand it to a usable size, and click/drag all the frames between window areas to get them to where I can actually read/use the menus and lists contained within. Any ideas on why this is happening, and on how to fix it? TIA, Monte -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how to set global environment variables in crontabs
by Meike Stone 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

Hello list, I've a question related to cron on SuSE. I like to set global environment variables for all cron jobs. I see, that per default the cron runs a /bin/sh (link to /bin/bash). But in this mode of bash, the profile file will not included. So my questions are: 1) Is there a possibility to set global environment variables with using /bin/sh? 2) Or if not, how do I configure the /bin/bash as default for all crontabs? I know, that I can set environment variables in the crontabs (cron.d, cron.daily, ...) itself, but that is not the requested solution. I tried to set the SHELL=/bin/bash in the /etc/crontab, but that is not working!

[opensuse] Opensuse 12.2 - Disable turning off display and following symlinks with samba

I recently updated my mythtv systems to opensuse 12.2 and mythtv 0.25. I'm still having a couple opensuse nagging issues and hoping someone here can help. 1) My frontends go to sleep and turn the displays off even if I'm watching something. Hitting a key on my remote does not wake them up, I actually have to go hit a key on the keyboard. Looking at System Settings I cannot find an option under Power settings to never turn off the display. Where can I disable this? 2) On my backend system I have samba configured with symlinks to get access to my recorded programs and using myth's script to write them in friendly names. I just use the "homes" share. When I try to copy or open any of the recordings I get permission denied. I have the following in settings for samba: [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw map to guest = Bad User include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: usershare allow guests = Yes unix extensions = no follow symlinks = yes wide links = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S, %D%w%S browseable = No read only = No inherit acls = Yes Any help or suggestions are appreciated. thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Start up order problems with NetworkManager
by Scott Simpson 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

SuSE 12.2 I've switched from ifup/ifdown to NetworkManager for my ethernet devices. All my DHCP addresses are now working swimmingly (using dhclient). However, I have a slight startup order problem. I'm using ypserv/ypbind and automounts that use the NIS maps. When the machine comes up, ypserv/ypbind start correctly but I have to restart ypbind to get it to work (and restart the automounter since it depends on NIS). I don't need to restart ypserv. I think this is some script ordering issue I didn't see with ifup/ifdown. The same is true for my Kerberos server. It doesn't seem to come up using NetworkManager (but does with ifup/ifdown). I'll have to investigate the systemd logs further since I don't know a lot about systemd (yet). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SuSE 12.2: MTU size wrong causes IPV6 client dhclient6 to fail
by Scott Simpson 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

I have my network card configured for IPv4 and IPv6 from my ISP. It isn't getting an IPv6 address. The daemons started are /sbin/dhclient6 -6 -cf /var/lib/dhcp6/dhclient6.eth1.conf -lf /var/lib/dhcp6/dhclient6.eth1.lease -pf /var/run/dhclient6.eth1.pid -q eth1 /sbin/dhcpcd --netconfig -L -E -c /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/dhcpcd-hook -t 0 -h madhatter eth1 for the IPv6 and IPv4 addresses respectively. When I reboot, my ethernet card has an MTU of 576 which isn't large enough to process an IPv6 address. If I bring down dhclient6, do an ip link set eth1 mtu 1500 and then rerun dhclient6 then it grabs an IPv6 address and assigns it to the interface correctly. How can I change this MTU so I don't have to manually do this? Scott -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] question on education repository

Hello all, I am selling a 10 year old desktop that I just recently installed openSUSE 12.2 on (32 bit) with an 80 gb hard drive. The person that is buying it was asking about educational games for kids to put on it, so I thought I would install the education repository and check out what was available. However, I found that on the openSUSE website, the last stable education repository that was made available was for openSUSE 11.0. (see here: http://en.opensuse.org/Education_repositories) So I am wondering what decisions were made about the education repository? Is there something else that covers everything in it for later distributions? It turns out that I think they are going to install windows xp on the computer anyway, but it made me curious about what is going on with that. -- George Olson Box #1: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.2 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | ATI Radeon HD 3300 | 16GB Box #2: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.1 | AMD Athlon X3 | 64 | nVidia C61 GeForce 7025 | 4GB Laptop: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.2 | Core i7-2620M | 64 | Intel HD Graphics 3000 | 8GB learning openSUSE and loving it -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

To disable a repository I only need to unckeck the "Enabled" option in Yast / Software Repositories, or should I delete the repository without cheking "Keep Downloaded Packages"?

[opensuse] memory card, vfat and file dates

Hello: I use an SD card in my digital camera.

I changed the mount option from "winnt" to "windows95" but it did not changed creation time. How could I get the real creation time instead of the shifted one in openSUSE?

[opensuse] Cross-posting - why not?

That's been part of the official wiki page less than 24 hours! I wonder if it was discussed, or just added to the rules with little thought. I'd argue that cross_posting is fine if everyone follows a reply-all philosophy and all of the lists allow posts by non-subscribers. It does simplify things if your email client deduplicates the emails. (I use gmail for mailing lists and it does that behind the scenes. I never know that I got 2 copies of the same email.) That's how LKML (linux kernel mailing lists) handles it, so those technically elite users encourage and use a cross-posting philosophy on their main lists. I see it employed all the time there and I don't recall anyone ever complaining. With LKML, the end result is a collection of 100 or so related specialized lists were specialists are subscribed to just a few lists and anyone can post to any of the lists. If an issue affects multiple areas, then the posters just cross-post to all of the various lists and the reply-all philosophy that is mandated on LKML lists makes it work transparently. Fyi: numerous of the more technical opensuse lists have been open to all posters for years, they rely on spam filters to keep the spam out. A few spams get in every now and then, but I bet it is only 10 or 20 per year. fyi2: You should note I did not post this to multiple lists, but it is a perfect example of a post that would fit on more than one list. In particular, this one and -project. I don't really even know which one is the better choice. I chose this one only because this is where the reference link was made. Clearly my vote is that ALL opensuse lists be opened up for non-subscriber posts and follow the lead of LKML for both the reply-all and the cross-posting netiquette issues.

[opensuse] Why did Windows never do the equivalent of /home ?

Wouldn't it behoove MS, to implement the /home concept (separating the OS from the users' data in different partitions) ? Once I got "into" Linux, I never understood why MS did not implement this.

[opensuse] Installation failure of openSuSE12.2, I need help.
by Marc Chamberlin 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Searching around on the internet, it appears I am in for a rough road trying to install a dual boot system on my new ASUS G75VW laptop. (It came with Windows 7 x64 installed and there is a lot of chatter in Google land about something called EFI partitions??? Also a lot of Google hits on openSuSE forums, but when I try to open them up for viewing, my browser (Firefox) is not showing any contents!) I downloaded and created an installation DVD for openSuSE12.2 x64 and managed to figure out how to reach the bios and change the device boot order so as to boot from the DVD drive first. Upon inserting the DVD installation disk and powering up the laptop I can see that the initial phase of bringing up ELILO boot, (what happened to GRUB?) loads the kernel and perhaps a screen and a half worth of additional messages (too fast for me to read). But suddenly the display breaks up badly with unreadable lines that look mostly like a lot of dots and dashes start appearing, and it appears to soon reach a GUI (composed of green, grey, and white streaks of colors) but this too is badly corrupted and non-readable. So I am not even reaching a point where I can configure anything while attempting to install openSuSE! The display adapter is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M if that helps... So how do I proceed?

[opensuse] cannot print duplex in firefox etc on 12.2
by John King 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Opensuse 12.2 Firefox 17 Cups 1.5.4 I have recently moved from opensuse 11.4 to 12.2 (new installation) and now find that I cannot print in duplex from firefox, thunderbird, google chrome and kate. Printer OKI C531dn, using the oki supplied ppd file. Duplex printing is faultless in okular, acrobat and libreoffice (once the printer language type in libreoffice is changed from pdf to postscript), but firefox, thunderbird, chrome and kate will not print duplex whatever the settings in their print dialogues. In 11.4, using the same ppd file, there was no problem with duplex printing, using a cups 1.5.4 server. Also, I can print in duplex from these applications in xubuntu12.04 and Mint14, using the same ppd file. The cups version is 1.6.1 on both these machines. The fact that I had to change the printer language type in Libreoffice from pdf to postscript to enable duplex printing made me wonder whether there is something similar I have to change in the mozilla/kate/chrome configuration, but I haven't been able to find anything similar. If I redirect the print from the cups server on my 12.2 to a virtualbox mint14 cups server, then duplex printing works, so it does seem something specific to the 12.2 setup. I'd appreciate any pointers to how I can correct this. John -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] virtuoso, tracker, meta.db, and a full hard drive
by George Olson 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Howdy everyone, Just wondering about what happened the last few days. Several times I found that my laptop was running a very high temperature, and the culprit was "virtuoso" on the system activity gui. So I would stop virtuoso, and/or log out of kde and then log back in, and things would seem to go along fine for a few hours. Then it would start up again. When I would hover the mouse over nepomuk in the system tray, it would say "File index service is not running." The last time it did this, I finally decided to go into nepomuk in the system settings and disable the nepomuk file indexer and the nepomuk email indexer. I had it indexing emails because I have been running mail to see if I like it. So I am wondering if this has something to do with kmail, because if I were only running thunderbird, I would not need the email indexer to be running. In any case, this morning before work I was going to check the latest news, and I opened up firefox and got this message that there was a problem with firefox security because my hard drive was full. So I checked the hard drive, and I found that the last 18 gigs that I had empty had been filled up. When I looked to see what it was, it was this: On /home/george/.cache/tracker, the following files show up: george@linux-o3ef:~/.cache/tracker> ls -l total 18452444 -rw-r--r-- 1 george users 11 Sep 26 20:17 db-locale.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 george users 2 Sep 26 20:17 db-version.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 george users 6 Sep 26 20:40 first-index.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 george users 10 Sep 26 20:40 last-crawl.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 george users 18884642816 Dec 3 18:27 meta.db -rw-r--r-- 1 george users 32768 Dec 3 18:30 meta.db-shm -rw-r--r-- 1 george users 10240000 Dec 3 18:29 meta.db-wal -rw-r--r-- 1 george users 11 Sep 26 20:17 miner-applications-locale.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 george users 0 Dec 2 16:49 no-need-mtime-check.txt.A4EVOW -rw-r--r-- 1 george users 0 Oct 10 21:20 no-need-mtime-check.txt.CEPBMW -rw-r--r-- 1 george users 352020 Sep 26 20:17 ontologies.gvdb So you see that meta.db is huge. So what is the general advice here? Should I ditch kmail so that I can run nepomuk indexer (for fast file searches which is actually very helpful) and also delete this meta.db database?

[opensuse] Jovie - how to start it automatically?
by Gustav Degreef 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi folks, I would like to start Jovie automatically on boot. I am using OS 12.1, KDE 4.7.2, clean installwith all updates. I can start it manually from the command line and I have reasonable tts output from various programs. There is in Personal Settings/Accessibility/Text to Speech/General tab a check box for Jovie. I have enabled that, but It won't still will not stat on boot. I'm using a laptop and boot (passwordless) directly to the desktop. It took me a fair amount of searching on googleand kde support to get the tts applications to work nicely. Getting Jovie to start automatically is the one part I can't find an answer to.

[opensuse] Logitech h390 USB headset troubles
by Jim Sabatke 02 Dec '12

02 Dec '12

I needed a headset that doesn't use the standard headphone jack which has worn to the point where it is intermittent and will soon need pretty expensive service to work. So, I bought a Logitech h390 USB headset hoping that it would work on my openSuse 12.2 laptop (HP G72-B60US). I have all updates installed as of today. I had a little trouble getting it working, and net searches made it look pretty much hopeless, but I finally found a configuration that has both earphones and microphone working. So far so good, until I rebooted and it wouldn't work. I experimented and the following behaviors occur: 1. Booting with the h390 plugged in results in the headset not working. 2. Booting with the h390 plugged I can login to a user, but then the keyboard is totally unresponsive. The mouse still works. 3. Booting with the h390 unplugged and then logging into a user, and THEN plugging the h390 in allows the h390 and keyboard to function properly. 4. After step 3, locking the computer, or going into the sleep mode, and then returning to the user still allows the h390 and keyboard to function. 5. After step 3, switching to another user disables the h390 and the keyboard. 6. After step 5, switching back to the original user enables the h390 and keyboard. In any case where the h390 and keyboard do not function, I have found no combination of unplugging and plugging in the h390 that will re-enable the h390 and keyboard until the laptop is rebooted with the h390 unplugged. Obviously I can work around this, albeit in an ugly manner. Also, the other user is not computer savvy enough to be able to understand how to make it work, and I am basically trying to make her happy by getting video chat working for her. I've really hit a wall here. Any pointers would be appreciated. TIA, Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

You know the requirement of an initrd is bull, Claiming windows has one is even worse bullshit than I'd ever give you credit for. You can trace a windows boot -- there is no preload of a memory-resident copy of windows, that then loads windows. The drivers for the hardware are on the disk in /windows/system32/drivers. On Windows, it reads their boot managager, which then loads 'winload' which *demand*-loads drivers and services from disk -- they aren't all bound in to the kernel in order for it too boot. Please read Chapter 13 on Startup and Shutdown of the 5th edition of the Windows Internals book to get straightened out. The only time Windows needs a ramdisk during boot is when the boot-image needs to be downloaded from the net (i.e. a diskless boot). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello everyone, I am having a bit of trouble with my website in firefox.

If I open up the web page in Konqueror or Chrome, it opens without a problem, and all the pictures show up. I have to be able to make it work in Firefox, because I know that many people who I will send the link to use Firefox. Can anyone out there help me with troubleshooting this problem?

[opensuse] java / openjdk

Hi, Any java guru's around here? Perhaps i'm a bit confused about the naming structure... For one of the projects i'm working for, the manual tels me that openjdk is preferred above (Oracle-)JDK, and that i should use openjdk6. A couple of weeks ago i saw openjdk6-1.6.0, but when ik look now, all i see is java-1_7_0-openjdk-1.7.0.6-3.16.1.i586 Are these both versions of openjdk6 ? Should i be able to install/use 1.7.0 instead of 1.6.0 ?? Or are they incompatible?
