No results whatsoever, either as regular user or as root.

I checked the display setting from inside KDE and XFCE... both report
the monitor as 1600x900. I ran the Hardware Probe module from YaST, and
it shows the monitor resources as being 1600x900 as well.
I don't know if it makes a difference or not... but this system has two
video controllers - one is an Intel HD 4000, and the other is an nVidia
NVS 5400M. Honestly I'm not really sure which does what, other than
they seem to 'just work' and they give *very* good performance (by my
standards, anyways) under Win 7 Pro. No problems yet under other
distros (Mint, Scientific, etc.).

Nope. The first time I posted about this was after a fresh install of
nothing but XFCE.
Had to fool around with some partitions and what not (going for quad
boot) and re-installed, this time with a default KDE install and then
from the Software Manager installed the patterns for XFCE. Whatever
GNOME there is on this system got pulled in as a dependency, nothing more.

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'm trying to set up email in my laptop in the same manner than my
desktop. One step is to start up the spamd daemon, but I can't:
+++·····························
minas-tirith:~ # rcspamd start
Starting spamd done
minas-tirith:~ # child process [17127] exited or timed out without signaling production of a PID file: exit 255 at /usr/sbin/spamd line 2589.
minas-tirith:~ #

The source code lines mentioned are those that print the error message,
not the ones that produce the error. Nothing informative there.
The mail log produces these entries:

It seems it needs some files in the config directory, which I have doubt
to know which it is, or how to generate those files.
The init script does this:
startproc -p $PIDFILE $SPAMD_BIN $SPAMD_ARGS -r $PIDFILE
where:
SPAMD_ARGS="-d -c -L"
PIDFILE=/var/run/spamd.pid
SPAMD_BIN=/usr/sbin/spamd
and the switches are:
-d, --daemonize Daemonize
-c, --create-prefs Create user preferences files
-L, --local Use local tests only (no DNS)
I have not modified any file yet, so those are the defaults. I understand
that the "-c" option is to create those files it is complaining about, so
perhaps what is missing is the directory, but where?

Hello,
Wonder why Mozilla updates are usually arriving delayed in comparison to
the Microsoft version.
I.E. I get Mozilla Firefox 16.0.2 some days ago and Thunderbird 16.0.2
today for my Windows machines but nothing yet for openSUSE 12.2.
Thanks.
Regards

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.

Dear Opensusis,
I was trying to install Sparkleshare on OpenSuse 11.4, but failed at an
old version of notify-sharp.
I looked for newer versions but found only
notify-sharp-0.4.0-220.1.1.x86_64.rpm which does not resolve my problem.
The developer of Sparkleshare told me that there exists a patch which is
integrated in other distros.
https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare/issues/search?q=sparklebubbles
Could you integrate that patch as well?
thanks a lot
Hecke
Hi
Does anyone else have this as an issue? The system gets the "System Halted"
message but does not do the next step of turning the machine off. (i pressed
ESC after selecting shutdown to watch the text display of the shutdown
process)
Is there a configuration item for this or does it sound like a bug?
regards
Ian

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)?
Greetings,
Björn
