[opensuse] Kmail filters suddenly stopped working
by Dennis Gallien 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Running KDE 4.9.2 from the 49 repo (12.2, x64), have not updated *anything* for ~6 weeks. My Kmail incoming filters have all been working, no problem at all. A couple days ago the filters just stopped working on incoming (POP) messages. Once in the inbox the Apply All Filters works, but again not as messages are being received. Suggestions?

04 Dec '12

Running KDE 4.9.2 from the 49 repo (12.2, x64), have not updated anything for ~6 weeks. My Kmail incoming filters have all been working fine, no problem at all. A few days ago the filters just stopped working on incoming (POP) messages. Once in the inbox I can use the context menu Apply All Filters and the messages are all filtered, but again, not as the messages are being received. I know others have had problems with the Kmail filters, but since I haven't but then problem later cropped up suddenly as it did, I'm stumped on where to look. Suggestions? (Is it safe to go to 4.9.3?) TIA, --dg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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] samba-3.6.9-130.1.i586 breaks AD auth?
by Moby 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

I have opensuse machines (12.2 on tumbleweed, 12.2 not on tumbleweed, and 12.1 not on tumbleweed) that run Samba configured as member servers in an AD domain. Windows clients and other machines (linux running samba etc) can map (or mount) samba exports. Everything was working fine until samba got updated on the machines to version 3.6.9-130.1 from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/samba:/STABLE/. Now all attempts to map (or mount) fail with access denied. Is anyone else seeing this problem? Regards and thanks for any help in advance, -- --Moby -- 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. Thanks, Gustav. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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
