[opensuse] How to delete everything but the newest 5 files?
by Andreas 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

Hi, I'd like to let cron clean up a directory that holds hourly backups. So there are 24 new files every day. I'd need some scripting that sorts the content of this directory and then removes everything but the 5 newest files. Is there a howto or even sample code that does this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to save images?
by Istvan Gabor 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

Hello: How can I save images that are opening when I click their thumbnails in certain pages? One example: http://www.45cat.com/record/abbapromo001 the big image that opens after clicking the image in the page. Another example, probably a different type: http://elektronika.vatera.hu/navigacio_adovevo/gps/4_3_gps_mp3_mp4_full_eu_… Clicking the GPS image on the right opens a bigger image in the midle. How can I save it? I have openSUSE 11.2 with KDE 3.5.10. Mostly I use opera web browser, occasionally firefox or seamonkey. Thanks.

[opensuse] lost graphical boot screen
by lynn 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

12.1 Hi I've lost the graphical boot screen. The first one that appears after you switch on. It's the one with the menu where you can choose other systems to mulit boot if you have them installed. I had normal or Failsafe to choose from. Now all I get is an ugly text screen which says grub version 0.97 and the same two options but in text mode. How can I get the nice screen back?

[opensuse] Unresponsivenes when compacting Thunderbird folders
by Marco Calistri 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

Hi, Wonder if it is normal that whenever I do a folder compacting in Thunderbird (with Xpunge or directly with default command) I notice a big slowness/unresponsiveness of my system. (see the HW details below on my sig.) By running iotop I notice a big IO generated by jbd2 and of course Thunderbird, but I do not understand why the impact is too high on my not so weak hardware. Thanks.

[opensuse] Newb- openSUSE 12.1 installation failure -- goal: triple boot.
by Bruce Fromm 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

This openSUSE mailing list seems to be the best opportunity for a newbie like me to get help in the early stages of trying to multi-boot Windows 7 (already installed), openSUSE 12.1 and Ubuntu 11.04. There are already three primary partitions: "System", "Win7", and "HP Recovery", on an HP Pavilion AMD X6. I am planning to use instructions and diagrams from internet using Win7 as bootloader with modifications for the Linux distros using EasyBCD. Dvd of openSUSE was obtained from the openSUSE booth at the recent Linux Expo in Los Angeles. When system is started, the green openSUSE "Welcome" screen appears, followed by the openSUSE Installation choices menu screen. When I choose the "Install" option, the system displays a window showing "Loading Linux Kernel" (with an increasing % progress line). According to instructions I expect the next screen to be the License Agreement and Language screen. Instead, the system displays AMIBIOS information including hardware test details, RAID details, "ISOLINUX 4.04 ...", then goes back to the openSUSE "Welcome" screen. System repeats this loop until I choose "Install from hard disk" option from the openSUSE installation choices menu screen. At that point the system then loads Win7. When I test the dvd in an older "AMD Athlon 64 3200+" laptop, the procedure continues normally, with no problem.Help. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Version 12.1 / postgresql / data redirect
by Duaine Hechler 30 Mar '12

30 Mar '12

I just tried to upgrade to 12.1 and all went well except postgresql. For backup and less hassle reasons, I moved the data directory to my home directory "/home/dahechler/postgres/data" However, when I went to start postgres, it would not start "/etc/init.d/postgresql start". Furthermore, it said something about transferring to systemctl. Then I could not find where the errors were logged.

I am using suse 12.1 on a new ThinkCenter 64bit computer with an Intel core i5 processor and a 250GB SATA drive. I can only use 15 partitions, over 65GB unused. Also have an old ThinkCenter 32bit pentium 4 comp with a 1TB SATA drive and only 15 drives, over 600GB unused. What is the best way to overcome this limitation? jozien -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
