[opensuse] Chicony internal USB webcam too dark
by Roger Luedecke 02 Jan '13

02 Jan '13

When the camera first initializes it looks right for about one second, then goes dark. In Cheeze I can adjust the brightness, but this of course doesn't work in Skype or Google Hangouts. Also Cheeze hangs when trying to record video. I'd like to fix this of course.

[opensuse] thunderbird can't exit full screen
by lynn 01 Jan '13

01 Jan '13

Hi 12.2 with XFCE When I hit 'Write' in tb, it fills the whole screen. There is no window border and the write window fills the whole screen. I have to do File > Close to get rid of it. How can I get the borders back so I can manipulate and resize the write window? I've tried pressing Esc, but nothing.

by Bogdan Cristea 31 Dec '12

Hi Does anyone know a driver for USB tunner mentioned above that works on openSUSE 12.2 ? The manufacturer provides the driver sources, but they are not updated and the driver does not work with newer versions of Linux kernel. thanks -- Bogdan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 12.2 lockup starting DM after exiting startx
by Felix Miata 31 Dec '12

31 Dec '12

I've a bunch of systems with OS 12.2, but only one or two with TDE. On the one currently wired up, which uses sysvinit-init instead of systemd init, I normally boot to runlevel 3, same as on most of my systems. 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. IIRC, this doesn't happen on KDE3 or KDE4 systems. :-( Where in the world does one begin to try to figure out the cause? Any ideas? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I see this warning while I fetch email: <2.3> 2012-12-27 13:10:28 minas-tirith fetchmail 9789 - - Server CommonName mismatch: pop.dominioabsoluto.net != correo.coitt.es <2.3> 2012-12-27 13:10:28 minas-tirith fetchmail 9789 - - Warning: the connection is insecure, continuing anyways. (Better use --sslcertck!) (--sslcertck! would be useles) The problem is that coitt is hosted at dominioabsoluto, so the certificate does not match; but the server is ok, it is the one I need to use. How could I make the warning go away? Ie, make fetchmail accept the certificate silently (at least not at warning syslog level)? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

by phi gcc 31 Dec '12

Hi All, New to opensuse, I try to build the newly installed machine with its current kernel version. Here is the trail of events. 1) fresh 12.2 install CY44$ /usr/bin/lsb-release -a LSB Version: n/a Distributor ID: SUSE LINUX Description: openSUSE 12.2 (x86_64) Release: 12.2 Codename: Mantis 2) Download 2 metapackages patterns-openSUSE-dev-basis patterns-openSUSE-devel-kernel 3) Downloaded kernel source thought may be they was there after the initial install. 4) make source suitable for non root compile. CY44$ cd /usr/src/linux CY44$ sudo chown -R phi . 5) Clone initial config and patch CONFIG_LOCAL_VERSION CY44$ make cloneconfig CY44$ vi .config # set CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-2.16-phi" 6) Kernel build CY44$ make 7) Build RPM CY44$ make rpm-pkg make clean set -e; cd -P ..; ln -sf /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16 kernel-3.4.11_2.16_phi /bin/sh /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16/scripts/setlocalversion --save-scmversion set -e; cd -P ..; tar -cz --exclude SCCS --exclude BitKeeper --exclude .svn --exclude CVS --exclude .pc --exclude .hg --exclude .git -f kernel-3.4.11_2.16_phi.tar.gz kernel-3.4.11_2.16_phi/. set -e; cd -P ..; rm kernel-3.4.11_2.16_phi rm -f /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16/.scmversion set -e; \ /bin/sh /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16/scripts/mkversion > /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16/.tmp_version set -e; \ mv -f /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16/.tmp_version /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16/.version rpm --target x86_64 -ta ../kernel-3.4.11_2.16_phi.tar.gz rpm: --target: unknown option make[1]: *** [rpm-pkg] Error 1 make: *** [rpm-pkg] Error 2 make rpm give the same results as make rpm-pkg Any ideas?

[opensuse] how to turn off Tracker in a config file?
by Carlos F. Lange 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

Some package I installed made my KDE start using Gnome Tracker in addition to Nepomuk. tracker-miner-fs is using a tonne of memory and there are many tracker related processes. I know I can try disable it through the Applications/System/Search and Indexing tool, but I would like to turn it off automatically for all my 12.2 machines. Is there a config file setting that turns off Tracker? -- Carlos F Lange -- Recursive: Adj.

[opensuse] How to pass arguments to X from GDM?
by Roger Luedecke 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

I need to do the following, but don't want to switch to KDM: Set this DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_LOCALARGS="-core" in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and also you have to switch to kdm. (Or investigate how to pass arguments to X via gdm or whatever you use.) When you have everything all right, ps should show Xorg -br :0 vt7 ... -core. Now it generates core files on crashes. You can set locations of those by: sysctl kernel.core_pattern=/core Is there any /core* after the freeze occurs? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
