[opensuse] changing video
by Robert Rawlinson 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

I have a PC I put together which has a built in video card. The video card in hardware info is VGA compatible and id: 99405 and 65794 driver:i915. The only screen I am offered is 1024X768 @ 60Hz. I know it should be better as the old MB would use the highest settings. I would like to get this MB up to the max. Thanks for any help you can offer.

[opensuse] Anyone recognize "www-mysql"?
by Adam Tauno Williams 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

I'm transitioning someone's quite old server [Debian] to a new install. All going pretty well. But they server up some functionality using CGI scripts via Apache that use something referred to on the Debian box as the www-mysql package? This a binary that executes HTML pages containing embedded SQL statements. Anyone know where the source for this can be found or if it has a more specific name? The 'helpfulness' of search engines is getting in the way of finding the provenance of this code. -- System & Network Administrator [ LPI & NCLA ] <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com> OpenGroupware Developer <http://www.opengroupware.us> Adam Tauno Williams -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Re: faster way to get total dir size besides du?
by Insomniac 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

Not sure if this is any help in this thread, but take a look at krusader. I was curious about this thread topic and since command-line isn't my forte by at least 100 miles, I opened krusader. It gives the total size of all *files* in a given directory at the bottom of that window pane, and if one holds the Ctrl and clicks on the dir's in that dir to highlight them all and then right-clicks to the context menu, it has 'Calculate occupied space' and it's instantaneous. I'm sure there's a quicker way to 'select/highlight' all the dir's in a particular dir other than holding Ctrl and clicking on them, but it works for me as I know no other way, heh. -- All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. -Edmund Burke -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I also had this issue on 11.4. When I start the installation, it hardlocks at "activating usb" It also hardlocks when starting the rescue system at "Loading basic drivers" I tried adding nousb to the boot line as well as using the failsafe, but with no luck. I was able to get PCLinusOS to boot. The kernel was 2.6.22.15. Anyone else using this motherboard with openSUSE?

[opensuse] Getting system mail in 12.1

In previous openSUSE installations I have checked the box for the first user to get system mail, and it works. On this new 12.1 installation with KDE 4.7.2, with a pre-existing /home, I did the same, but no system mail comes to the user.

[opensuse] ntfs error message with dolphin
by jdd-gmane 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

Hello, I have a data disk on my computer that is an old windows disk and so formatted as ntfs. Each time I copy a file to it with Dolphin, I get an error message about permissions. The copy is done. But this message clutters the screen and is sometime really annoying. Is there a way to avoid it? The best way should be to transform ntfs to ext4, but I have no room to copy the data else where and I don't think it's possible without erasing the data :-( thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] faster way to get total dir size besides du?
by David C. Rankin 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

All, Does anyone have a favorite way to get the total directory size besides running 'du -hcs'? With directories with many files, du is just too slow. Even a quick rough hack that is within 10% would be fine for taking a quick look to find which directory is hogging all the space. Any favorites here? -- David C.

[opensuse] systemd shutdown warning?
by Myrosia Dzikovska 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

I recently upgraded to 12.1, including systemd. I have a machine configured that powers off automatically at certain types, using crontab. In the past, I could put in the crontab "shutdown -h +30", and then I would get warning messages on the console as the shutdown approaches. With systemd, shutdown gets scheduled, but no warnings appear anywhere. The system just shuts down when the time comes. Is there a way to reproduce this warning message behavior? The man page just says "shutdown is for compatibility only", and systemctl page does not offer any options about scheduling or warnings.

But that wasn't the discussion, at least not its start. Linus does *not* want to give his daughter full root access. But he wants her to be able to do things that the default 12.1 policy prohibits. As Marcus wrote, this is actually often not even a policy problem, but the user interfaces didn't change fast enough to support newer low-level service facilities, e.g., system vs. user connections in NetworkManager. He didn't address the issue if those newer facilities should have been used as default, though. IMHO, the issue is more how new facilities are introduced in openSUSE. If a new facility breaks some other software or introduces a regression, are the other software's maintainers responsible to care for it, or is it the person/group that introduces the change. When somebody introduces system network connections and makes them default, he has to take care and coordinate changes in GUIs to make them usable again. Btw, We had plenty arguments for both sides when systemd was introduced. This ain't a new discussion. For the record, I like the Linux kernel approach: If your new code breaks something, you have to fix it, not some other guy.

No ck-launch-session? My personal dbus daemon runs without dbus-launch. (I don't use standard KDM/gdm startup scripts.) You've got intel when an explicite dbus-launch is needed?

Before update everything has been fine. Do not update you system!!! You can try to reproduce this problem by installing a new OpenSuse 12.1 installation for example in virtualbox and then let the system be fully updated. I tried it 3 times, still the same problem. Thank you for help. I think this can be bigger problem if the issue is in some patch or misconfiguration........

[opensuse] ssh connection refused since upgrading to 12.1
by Bob Williams 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

On 11.4 I had ssh working perfectly without passwords between my laptop and my desktop. Since upgrading the desktop to 12.1, ssh from the laptop to the desktop fails because the remote server's host key has changed. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ [...] Add correct host key in /home/bob/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message. [...] Host key verification failed. I'm not sure which file to copy onto my USB stick and where to put it (~/.ssh/known_hosts probably, but nothing I've put there so far has worked). There must be a simpler way of solving this problem, because most situations will involve hosts separated by significant distances, rather than being in the same room. Any suggestions, please?

[opensuse] Ekiga config file?
by C 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Does anyone have any idea where Ekiga hides its configuration? I've got Ekiga installed (in openSUSE 12.1/KDE4.7.2), and want to import my config from my backup. I followed the steps here: http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Troubleshooting#I_reinstalled_Linux_and_I_w… ... so I copied over the .gconf/ekiga directory and contents and started up Ekiga... but it doesn't find any of the old settings at all. I've searched all over my /home, looking for other palces Ekiga could be hiding its config, but turned up nothing so far. I've killed gconfd-2, deleted .gconf/ekiga and restarted Ekiga... and it starts up using the basic settings I set in the first start wizard... and it recreates a very basic .gconf/ekiga. This is apparently not where it stores the SIP configuration information. So.. does anyone have any clue where Ekiga is hiding its main configuration?

[opensuse] Skype won't run on 64bit openSUSE 12.1
by Bob Williams 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Having recently upgraded to openSUSE 12.1, I'm trying to re-install Skype for Linux 2.2.0.35-suse.i586.rpm. YaST installs the rpm OK, but when I try to run skype it grumbles about missing libraries. Googling found a recommendation to install xorg-x11-libXv-32bit which I've done, but now skype throws its next complaint: skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtDBus.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory There seem to be various dbus rpms in the standard repositories, but none with that name. Has anyone trodden this before, who could advise me?
