Hi, KDE 4.8.2 is now available in repos, I just wanted to check something about upgrading. I am running 12.1. I added these two repos: Core packages: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/48/openSUSE_12.1/ Extra: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/KDE_Release_48_openSUS… Should I run zypper dup or zypper dup --from KR48 Arnie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] libreoffice unstable (3.5.2) doesn't work after latest update
by phanisvara das 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

today, apart from another major update of KDE 4.8.2 packages (K:D:F), i received a whole bunch of libreoffice updates, from the LO unstable repo. libreoffice got upgraded to 3.5.2 a few days ago, and everything seemed to work just fine. after today's update, the libreoffice application window opens, but as soon as i try to open an existing document, or create a new one, it freezes. starting from the command line doesn't produce any output. the same thing happened to one forum user, so it's not only me. anybody else got LO 3.5.2, including the latest updates (today)? what's your experience? -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Usually yes and actually exactly as I described earlier with the file below .local for every user.

[opensuse] LXDE how to set default browser
by lynn 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

12.1 LXDE Firefox is the default which doesn't make sense for LXDE. e.g. chromium says: Chromium cannot determine or set the default browser. None of the google suggestions work:-( Can it be done?

[opensuse] How to fix network interface overruns?
by Per Jessen 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

I'm testing a new fibre connection at 50/10Mbit, and the network interface card is showing an increasing number of overruns when I "stress" the link with a lengthy download from a high-speed source. In the last 4Gb download, I saw the counter increase by at least 10000. Googling has informed me that "Receive overruns means that packets are arriving faster than you can receive". The firewall to which the fibre is connected is an elderly PIII 800MHz, but I can't quite imagine that causing this issue. It has four network interfaces: 02:04.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 24) 02:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM/CA/CAM Ethernet Controller (rev 01) 02:09.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 24) 02:0a.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 74) on separate interrupts: (from /proc/interrupts) 16: 15819304 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth2 18: 13879018 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth3 20: 73917 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth0 21: 1667206 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth1 The problematic interface is eth3, a 3Com 3c905b. I'm contemplating replacing it with a newer intel e100 card, but I'm grasping at straws. Any other suggestions for troubleshooting this? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I have a new Android cellphone, my first. This is an HTC Aria. I want to e able to exchange files between this phone and my desktop inux box --oS v11.4 at the moment. I expected that the phone would be recognized when connected to a USB port, just like any other USB device, but it isn't. I assume there is a way to get openSuSE to detect the phone.

[opensuse] Just Repoting Success; Toshiba P105-S6207
by Adam Tauno Williams 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Previously to my HP DV7-3085DX (which works perfectly under openSUSE 12.1) I had a Toshiba P105-S6207. That laptop died in the sense that it wouldn't turn on anymore; but thanks to a local guy with a pile of junk [spare parts] it has been resurrected. This message is just to put on the record that this laptop works perfectly with openSUSE 12.1. Previously under 10.3 (the last distribution it ran) I had to play with the ACPI to get sound and manually load the finger print reader module. But after I reinstalled openSUSE 11.4 via CD and then zypper dup'd to openSUSE 12.1 [all of which worked perfectly] ... everything "just works". Although this laptop is now 5+ years old performance is suprisingly good and I can log right into the GNOME Shell using the finger print reader. Audio "just works". Wifi "just works" If someone needs a great laptop on the cheap and you can find one - picking up a used one of these would be a solid investment.
