[opensuse] Data corruption with 3.4 Kernel from Tumbleweed repo
by Moby 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

Just a word of caution in case anyone else is boldly tumbling through tumbleweed. I updated to kernel-default-3.4.0-x from the tumbleweed repository yesterday. The machines are primarily used as "nfs servers" and the nfs exports are mounted for use by vmware vSphere hosts. Today, there was massive disk corruption on all files being written to the nfs shares. Not sure if anyone else is seeing this but just something to keep in mind before using the Tumbleweed repo. -- --Moby They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Email sender address
by Koenraad Lelong 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

Hi, I have an application running on a machine that sends status-mails. Unfortunately, it has no means to define a sender address. Instead it uses '@domain-name' (= nothing before the @). I filed a bug-report with the manufacturer. But what make me wonder, postfix _does_ accept the address that is sent and the whole message. Only afterwards the message is bounced, in the log file 127.0.0.1 does this, or at least tries it since there is no real sender-address. I think it's the spam-filter that does this. Shouldn't postfix reject the message immediately when receiving the incomplete sender-address ? Or do I have some configuration error ? Now the application thinks it sent the message OK, and its log-files reports success.

[opensuse] plasma desktop crashes
by Roger Oberholtzer 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

I have an openSUSE 11.2 system running KDE 4.6. For one user, the plasma desktop crashes when they log in, resulting in a useless desktop. A new user works fine. So, I thought it would be useful to delete /tmp/kde-user* /var/tmp/kdecache-user* Nope. That did not solve it. What else might make plasma desktop fail for a single user?

[opensuse] How to click and run a Java class
by lynn 03 Jun '12

03 Jun '12

Hi everyone I have a java program which I'd like to just click and run. The class is called DataEntry It is in /usr/local/bin/DataEntry/DataEntry.class This gets us there: #!/bin/bash cd /usr/local/bin/DataEntry java DataEntry I have chmod +x'd it. Unfortunately it then opens a new window giving more options: Execute, Execute in Terminal, Open, Cancel How do I just click and run without the options popup?

[opensuse] bash question - why calling 'calc' from script causes "bg" is undefined
by David C. Rankin 03 Jun '12

03 Jun '12

Bash gurus, Here is one I don't understand. I needed a simple script to part gtkrc and convert the r,g,b (0.0-1.0) values to (0-255). So I decided to use 'calc' to get the floating point values. The script was: #!/bin/bash while read l; do [[ $l =~ , ]] && [[ ${l:0:1} != [#] ]] && { rgb=${l##*[{] } rgb=${rgb%\ \}*} rgb=${rgb//,} r=${rgb%% *} g=${rgb% *} g=${g#* } b=${rgb##* } _r=$(calc -p "255 * $r") _g=$(calc -p "255 * $g") _b=$(calc -p "255 * $b") echo "${rgb} => r:$r g:$g b:$b => r:$_r g:$_g b:$_b"; } done < gtkrc-file.txt The sample gtkrc file is included at the end of the message. Running the script resulted in the error: 15:38 providence:~/cnf/kde3> sh parsegtkrc.sh "bg" is undefined 0.125 0.129 0.149 => r:0.125 g:0.129 b:0.149 => r:31.875 g:32.895 b:37.995 Huh? It worked, but only for the first value and threw a "bg" is undefined error?? OK, lets try it this way: <snip> _r=$(echo "255*$r" | calc -p) _g=$(echo "255*$g" | calc -p) _b=$(echo "255*$b" | calc -p) <snip> 15:46 providence:~/cnf/kde3> sh parsegtkrc.sh 0.125 0.129 0.149 => r:0.125 g:0.129 b:0.149 => r:31.875 g:32.895 b:37.995 0.216 0.286 0.431 => r:0.216 g:0.286 b:0.431 => r:55.080 g:72.930 b:109.905 0.125 0.129 0.149 => r:0.125 g:0.129 b:0.149 => r:31.875 g:32.895 b:37.995 <snip -- All good!> Why is my first invocation of calc not correct? What is the "bg" is undefined error? This is really bewildering because I can do: #!/bin/bash for((i=0;i<10;i++)); do mult=$((i+5)) num=$(calc -p "$mult * 5.1") echo "num: $num" done So I don't see why the error was generated in the first place.

[opensuse] Should YaST YOU honour "no vendor change"?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For example, I have just updated LibreOffice from the LO Stable repo to 3.5.3 (I'm using oS 11.4).

Is this a bug in YOU, or is it intentional behaviour? #### YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2012-05-31 21:19:01 #### patch:libreoffice-34-5253.noarch conflicts with libreoffice-languagetool-es.noarch < 1.4-2.2.1 provided by libreoffice-languagetool-es-1.4-2.1.noarch [ ] do not install patch:libreoffice-34-5253.noarch [ ] Following actions will be done: install libreoffice-languagetool-es-1.4-2.2.1.noarch (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/LibreOffice --> openSUSE install libreoffice-languagetool-en-1.4-2.2.1.noarch (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/LibreOffice --> openSUSE install libreoffice-languagetool-1.4-2.2.1.noarch (with vendor change) obs://build.opensuse.org/LibreOffice --> openSUSE #### YaST2 conflicts list END ### The solution I use is "do not install patch libreoffice-34-5253.noarch", and inmediately taboo it.
