by yh＠ottawa.com 03 Apr '24

03 Apr '24

Yesterday, I finally got sound going on my Linux setup. I downloaded RealPlayer G2 and it worked beautifully. Today, RealPlayer run but no sound coming out. All other sound functions still work. 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.

[opensuse] OpenSuSE 12.1: connect-debounce error
by Peter Maffter 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

I am still testing my new machine. First I had problems with the fake raid of my AsrockZ68 Extreme4 Gen3: OpenSuSE 11.4 was not able to handle this in RAID1 mode. I switched to OpenSuSE 11.3 which worked. But I still wanted a new version of SuSE so I tried 12.1 a few days ago. There was a huge problem with Systemd and RAID mechanism which gave me the impression that this part is far too immature to be used. This view of mine is confirmed by the many problems of systemd that can be read on the internet. I switched back to SysV initialization instead of Systemd. SysV works now. But both initialization methods show an error: "<3>[ 4.722529] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled" This was not shown when booting SuSE 11.3 so I wonder why SuSE 12.1 fills up the logfile with that message: "... Feb 10 10:07:53 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 246.401407] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:07:55 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 248.441347] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:07:57 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 250.489279] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:07:59 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 252.537238] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:08:01 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 254.585179] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:08:03 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 256.633113] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:08:05 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 258.677047] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:08:07 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 260.724980] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled ..." :-( All USB ports seem to work and accept e.g. USB sticks. USB ports are ok as far as I can see. No hardware was changed between 11.3 and 12.1.

[opensuse] Poor performance in 12.1
by James Knott 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Stortly after openSUSE 12.1 was release, I upgraded a computer that had previously been running 11.0 very well. However, since installing 12.1, I've noticed frequent, extensive disk activity, that essentially renders my computer unresponsive for several seconds. I don't have to be doing anything for this disk activity to start. Has anyone else experienced this?

[opensuse] Should openSUSE review it's Security Policies?
by Larry Stotler 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

As many are aware, Linus Torvalds has started a rant about the security policies in openSUSE for things that require the root password. From his Google+ post(https://plus.google.com/102150693225130002912/posts/1vyfmNCYpi5), he names these: Time Zone changes Adding a Printer Adding a wireless network. Now, I don't usually see the wireless issue because KNetworkmanager in KDE3(which I use) has never asked the root password for adding a new network. While at 37, I've never changed timezones(I lead a boring life) I would have to agree that having to use the root password for this would be annoying if I needed to change it because of a flight or something. I've worked with Linus on a hardware issue years ago, and I think we should probably at least consider reviewing the policies if they do need changed. Just my 2 cents. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

One with the 2gb space not allocated, two with it allocated by not formatted, and third formatted in BTRFS. All 3 times the size does not change. What am I missing?

[opensuse] Timescale for Maintenance Updates
by Ralf Müller 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Hi there. When setting up a new server in november last year I found opensuse 12.1 has some problems running as a xen server. I found a bug report that matched my problem: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727081 I switched to kvm for virtualisation on that system - no real problem so far. The bug was fixed at december 2nd including a private update repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/olh:/bug727081/openSUSE_12.1 For the server I set up in november everything would have been ok at this point. But as I have some production servers to support, that must be updated to 12.1 too, I have to wait for an 'official' update package - distributed via the official update repository. No problem - the bug has a fix, it needs some testing and then it can go main line. That I thought. 10 _weeks_ later the bug has been moved from a private repository to a maintenance repository: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=openSUSE%3AMaintenance%3A280 Does anybody know how long it usually takes for a patch from having a maintenance repository to actual distribution? Additional question: wouldn't it be a good idea to add some extra states to bugzilla for "bug is in internal testing", "bug got maintenance repository" (whatever that actually means), "bug is distributed". For an external user, who is not involved in the development process of opensuse it is kind of confusing up to frustrating to see a bug "closed fixed" and to not get an official update for it. For users who don't found the bug in bugzilla the bug is still open. As this bug is a showstopper, Xen simply does not work in 12.1 for them.

[opensuse] Weirdness after KDE update (OS12.1 + +KDE 4.8)
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

I did an update to my 12.1 system a few days ago (Saturday, Feb 25 to be precise), and the results is that KDE is no longer happy. The system runs openSUSE 12.1 and uses the KDE 4.8 repos (not factory, the 4.8 repos). I have been using these for a while and been doing regular updates, and all has been working great. I have not changed my repos in a while. The problem originally manifested itself as: When logging in and starting a KDE session, I would get a small white Xterm that said ksmdeamon exited. So, kde cannot start. I would then be returned to the login screen. Rebooting and all did nothing. Since I could log in via, say ICE, I did so. I then started ksmdaemon in a terminal, and it started. I then ran kwin, and magically I was transported from ICE to KDE. Perhaps not a fully functional one, as I has started only a few things by hand. But progress. I then tried logging in to KDE again. It worked. Why this is the case is a mystery, Perhaps just getting something to run once after the update was enough to allow things to sort of run again. But, it is very incomplete in terms of functionality. For example: - NetworkManager is brain dead. All my existing connection definitions are, apparently, lost. More problematic is that the tabs for, say, wired connections, is disabled. I do have such devices. 'ip addr' for example, correctly lists eth0. I can configure it via ifup, but to NetworkManager it is dead. Even though the wireless tab is accessible, I cannot add anything in it. All those buttons are disabled. Wireless does work via ifup. - Desktop effects do not happen. I don't really care. But if they are not working as expected, something has gone wrong. They are enabled. I use the proprietary nvidia driver, and it is still loading. I am sure there are other things. But the network issue is a game stopper. I tried starting with a fresh $HOME/.kde4 directory, but that only lost all the expected customizations I have. It did not result in the aforementioned problems being cleared up. I am not sure where to start. Perhaps there is a repo that KDE 4.8 now needs that I have not enabled? I have checked that all packages in the KDE 4.8 repo are installed and nothing has been missed. That does not seem to be the case. But maybe I am missing something that is not in the KDE 4.8 repos. Since I seem to be the only one with this problem, I am guessing it is not a general problem. Still, I cannot see what should be so different in my use case. I have used the 4.8 repos since they were made available, and have pretty much regularly been updating against them. So it should all be incremental changes from the same source. Any suggestions?

[opensuse] ipv4 forwarding - any known issues?

I'm setting up a new box and started out with ip forwarding enabled. This seemed to prevent internet access, so I tried disabling forwarding with yast, but this only caused a hang. I ended up having to walk to the datacentre to access the physical console. Just wondering before I start digging into this - are there any (more or less) known issues wrt ip forwarding and/or the enabling/disabling thereof in 12.1 ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.5°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, as current maintainer I'd like to drop the Xemacs. This because we have GNU-Emacs which with real wide character support as well as better maintained in comparision to Xemacs.

Several are mandatory reply all (lkml and its siblings). Some are reply-all desired (opensuse-kernel, opensuse-project, and few more in this family.) Mostly these are ones where the serious developers hang out. They like reply-all for reasons I won't go into. Most lists are indifferent. And then there is opensuse(a)opensuse.org. It's netiquette here that it be "reply to list" only. I've for years tried to remember that it is special, but at this point I'm no longer willing to try. So you have 2 choices. 1) Accept I'm a pain in your behind and get past it. 2) Ask me to blackball your posts so I won't answer them again. You'll probably want to blacklist me in turn so you don't waste energy answering some question of mine. ==> others I know Ken's not the only one who dislikes it when people reply-to-all. Feel free to ask me to blackball your posts from my inbox as well. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
