[opensuse] output frequency and resolution of terminal window
by Istvan Gabor 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Hello: I have an HP TFT monitor with 1600x1200 native resolution. This works perfectly in graphics mode with its native resolution. I have nvidia card and proprietary nvidia driver. But when I switch to terminal window (eg ctrl+alt+1) my monitor gives the following message: "Input signal out of range Optimum mode 1600x1200 / 60 Hz" After a few seconds the monitor turns out automatically. How the output frequency and resolution of the terminal view can be adjusted/set in openuse (11.2)?

[opensuse] Gnome 3.4, Libreoffice 3.5 in openSUSE?
by Swapnil Bhartiya 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Hi, I am curious when will Gnome 3.4 will be available for openSUSE? It's not in factory (I am running Milestone 2). Even LibreOffice 3.5 is not there yet, it's been a month of release I guess. On the contrary Ubuntu has all the latest packages. I am just curious to know about the update strategy of openSUSE. I do love to play with latest packages and write about them so just wanted to know if I am missing something or it does take time for openSUSE to update to the latest packages.

[opensuse] Networkmanager and OS12.1
by Koenraad Lelong 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Hi, I have an older laptop that ran OS 11.1 very nice. Recently I installed 12.1 and now I have a problem with the networkmanager. I connected to my accesspoint without problems. But after a shutdown the networkmanager does not connect any more. After rebooting, the networkmanager does not see my accesspoint. When I disable the wireless network (via networkmanager) and re-enable it, I can see my accesspoint in the list, and the connection is made. This is not how I expect the networkmanager to behave. Any fix for this ? TIA. Regards, Koenraad Lelong. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is my machine too old for OS 12.1 ?

03 Apr '12

Hello knowledgeable people I have just installed OpenSuse 12.1 on a not very young PC with AMD Athlon processor socker 362 ; 1048 Mhz and 1.5 Gb. ram I installed LXce The usb mouse leaves a trailing suite of cursor arrows along its course The keyboard does not work unless I change to console #1 and come back to #7 my root and user passwords are recognised in Lxce but not in console mode where the machine has been given a strange name : 'Asparagus' I tried several updates, which is not easy under these circumstances but the kernel update always fails, sometimes just about 98 or 99 % which is most frustrating and I find some strange error messages in /var/log/messages; Here is a sample : Mar 24 20:53:24 atelier collectd[3031]: uc_update: Value too old: name = WebYaST/df/df-root; value time = 1332618804; last cache update = 1332618804; Mar 24 20:53:24 atelier collectd[3031]: Filter subsystem: Built-in target `write': Dispatching value to all write plugins failed with status -1.

[opensuse] Should openSUSE review it's Security Policies?
by Larry Stotler 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

As many are aware, Linus Torvalds has started a rant about the security policies in openSUSE for things that require the root password. From his Google+ post(https://plus.google.com/102150693225130002912/posts/1vyfmNCYpi5), he names these: Time Zone changes Adding a Printer Adding a wireless network. Now, I don't usually see the wireless issue because KNetworkmanager in KDE3(which I use) has never asked the root password for adding a new network. While at 37, I've never changed timezones(I lead a boring life) I would have to agree that having to use the root password for this would be annoying if I needed to change it because of a flight or something. I've worked with Linus on a hardware issue years ago, and I think we should probably at least consider reviewing the policies if they do need changed. Just my 2 cents. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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] Dumpkeys, euro vs en_US.UTF-8
by Michael Fischer 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

Can anyone clue me in as to how to use dumpkeys (or potentially a UTF-8 aware successor) on 12.1 with en_US.UTF-8? Goog. hasn't shown me much help except that the euro is appearently U+20ac, which isn't even listed by dumpkeys. Please note that I'm not using neither gnome nor kde to manage my keyboard (xmodmap). If anyone can point me to a resource which tells me how to create my own compose combinations... :-) Thanks in advance.

[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.
