Google can find you the answer to what. Why is because ACPI was young and inexperienced when the BIOS for your old puter was written. Need to disable ACPI to install is common in puters of yours' vintage. That's why the initial menu makes the option easy to find and use for those who don't find and read installation instructions. Possibly a motherboard BIOS update is available that would have obviated its need today, and might in future installs. > The OS is working fine now that it's installed. > Right now it's doing a truck load of updates.

[opensuse] 153 new messages
by James Knott 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

I run Seamonkey on openSUSE 12.1 for my email. I frequently see a pop up saying there's 153 new messages, when there are nowhere near that many. I had never seen that in previous versions of openSUSE and Seamonkey has been updated a couple of times since 12.1 was installed. Has anyone else seen this? The erroneous pop up is always for 153 messages. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 12.1 KDE and sessions
by Roger Oberholtzer 12 Feb '12

12 Feb '12

I have a strange thing happening on openSUSE 12.1 and KDE (original 12.1 version). What I describe did not happen in earlier openSUSE releases. I have an application (navit - a non-KDE map application installed from OBS) that is started when the user logs in, via a script in $HOME/.kde4/Autostart The application starts fine the first time one logs in. It runs until the user logs out, and I can see that it is indeed not running after the logout. Next login, there are two navit apps running. Third login, and there are three. And so on. Each time, all the navits are killed on logout. They are all started new on login. I suspect the session management part of KDE is involved. We have not turned sessions on/off. In fact, I do not see where to even control this anymore. Is there still a concept of restarting applications on login? If so, how can I disable this? If not, what might be going on here?

[opensuse] Problems with PDF - Seamonkey & Firefox
by James Knott 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

I have noticed some problems with opening PDFs in Firefox and Seamonkey, but not Konqueror browsers. When they fail, I get a blank or black display. Here is one link that I tried today: http://ryerson.ca/content/dam/currentstudents/forms/OfficialTranscriptReque… Konqueror has no problem with this link, but Firefox and Seamonkey both choke on it. This is on 64 bit 12.1 and Adobe reader is installed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.4 - Sound 'play' symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libpulsecommon-0.9.22.so: undefined
by David C. Rankin 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

Guys, I have a sound issue with play. When I attempt to play a sound file from the command line in konqueror I get: > play Startup1_4.ogg play: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libpulsecommon-0.9.22.so: undefined symbol: STRING Is anyone else seeing this? I know this just started within the last few weeks, because I was using play not too long ago. Is this a new libpulse0 bug or sox? Hard to tell on this end :( -- David C.

So far the only option is YAST. On would think, that their is a mixer for this ......

[opensuse] Howto start cifs daemon for automounting shares?
by Andreas 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

Hi, I've got samba running on an OpenSuse 12.1. I can manually mount external shares. Then I entered apparently suitable lines in /etc/samba/cifstab but the shares aren't automatically mounted on boot time. This is ignored. Nothing gets mounted and there is no error in the smb.log. I found a refernce that I need to start the cifs service in Yast-->Runlevel. I set it to runlevel 3+5 and tried to start it imediatly in yast. When I try this I get the error : /etc/init.d/cifs start returned 6 (program not configured) Can someon point me in the right direction, please? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Interesting "webpin" alternative solution
by Greg Freemyer 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

All, I just inadvertently typed: > osc se -s yara #################################################################### matches for 'yara' in projects: # Project home:sjayaraman home:suryaraj17 #################################################################### matches for 'yara' in packages: # Project # Package home:gregfreemyer:Tools-for-forensic-boot-cd python-yara home:gregfreemyer:Tools-for-forensic-boot-cd yara security python-yara security yara ---------------------------- So that appears to have searched all of OBS for projects with "yara" in their name, and then for packages with "yara" in their name. I just some might find that of interest since webpin has been dead for a year or two.
