[opensuse] Thunderbird Questions
by Marco Calistri 08 Apr '12

08 Apr '12

Hi List-members, >From time to time I notice Thunderbird warnings of this kind: Script: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:331 Wonder what is producing that and why. Beside this warning, I noticed system freezes using Thunderbird whenever I launch email folder compacting. Thanks for your attention.

[opensuse] error message: can't change permissions (ntfs)
by jdd-gmane 08 Apr '12

08 Apr '12

Hello :-) One of my disks is NTFS When I copy anything with Dolphin to this disk, I get an error "can't change permissions on...". There is only one such message at a time (the copy don't stop), so at first it's not a real problem. I know this is due to the ntfs file system bad permission managing. But this message is pretty annoying, because it makes this dolphin session unavailable as long as the copy is running - for example if I have to copy several folders to a common one, I have to wait for the first copy to end before doing the second, etc... I I clic "ok" to the message window, a new message come back as soon as the next file is copied. is there a way to remove these (unusefull) error message? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Cryptic patch names
by Jon Cosby 07 Apr '12

07 Apr '12

What's with the new naming convention on the patches? I mean cryptic names like "openSUSE-2012-168" or "openSUSE-2012-182." It'll be a pain to sort out what I'm installing.

[opensuse] Apper
by Steven Hess 07 Apr '12

07 Apr '12

12.1 KDE Why will this Apper thing not let go 90% of the time? packagekit is impossible to kill many times when I try and access the YAST software management utility. What is the best way to make sure packagekit terminates so you can use software management?

[opensuse] network interface overruns - how can I read the counter with snmp?
by Per Jessen 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

As far as I can tell, the interfaces MIB doesnt have that counter. Does anyone happen to know if there is another way (additional MIB?) of getting hold of it? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

by phanisvara das 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

for some reason i'm unable to access http://packman.inode.at/suse/12.1/ today. is that because of my (notoriously flakey) internet connection, or does it happen to others, too? -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Anyone else seeing Flash content with red and blue swapped?
by C 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Just in case anyone else is seeing this rather annoying and odd behavior with the latest 11.2 release of Flash... it's a well known issue and Adobe is basically ignoring it. Their stock response is to say "We don't support Linux post 11.2" (even though this IS a bug in 11.2) and then they close the bug. See the bug reports at: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3077076 https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3097844 https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3109467 https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3120888 https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3136745 (still open.. for now) You can work around the bug by disabling Hardware Acceleration and reloading the page... or you roll back to Flash 11.1. The workaround isn't a fix... it's just a workaround. I don't now how critical it is to have HW Accel enabled for most people... but so far it seems to be the only way around the problem (unless someone here knows of another solution), and Adobe have made it pretty clear so far that they're not interested in fixing it.
