[opensuse] Seeking recommendations for a CRM that has a descent print and/or pdf function
by Duaine Hechler 25 May '12

25 May '12

I've looked at the two biggies that my host will autoinstall: SugarCRM and vTiger CRM. Neither one has a descent print and/or pdf function.

by Steven 24 May '12

24 May '12

I have upgraded my Hylafax server to 12.1. Installed Hylafax works fine. But i can't get the faxgetty to work in the /etc/inittab file. I have tried : mo:2345:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/ttyS0 mo:35:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/ttyS0 and even: mo:35:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty ttyS0 mo:2345:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty ttyS0 modem will not respawn after after reboot. If i run: usr/lib/faxgetty -D ttyS0 Modem works fine until I reboot. Then I tried: I created a file /etc/systemd/system/faxgetty-ttyS0.service [Unit] Description=HylaFAX faxgetty for ttyS0 [Service] User=root Group=root Restart=always RestartSec=30 ExecStart=/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/ttyS0 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Then in terminal I issued 'systemctl start faxgetty-ttyS0.service' Modem starts respawns great. Reboot and modem still dead. Any help would very appreciated. Steven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bad repository metadata gwdg.de for several repos
by David C. Rankin 24 May '12

24 May '12

All, It looks like there is a problem with the metadata for several 11.4 repos on gwdg.de: File './repodata/70a7a6e224b98ab3ab5b29d986d752814e53aa735eb6bcb7c89cef8301f3e962-primary.xml.gz' not found on medium 'http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/devel:/libraries:/c_c++/openS…' File './repodata/54cacc049baa3052d6d7676a84950d9f5a0d3b36b5a759baba17bd4836c1fd46-primary.xml.gz' not found on medium 'http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/games/openSUSE_11.4/' File './repodata/23ea25d7e590a25e0b630f1f324c79b7683fa23303c41506dcb7f0224734cd27-primary.xml.gz' not found on medium 'http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.4' Did I just attempt an update while these sites were busy updating, or is there a problem with the indexes?

[opensuse] Why are my Opensuse so slow
by Gunnar Haaland 24 May '12

24 May '12

Thanks for all input about my "slow" Opensuse 12.1. I have solved my problem. I pulled the "plug" of my "old" disk, and installed 12.1 with my Window XP on the SATA disk. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openoffice 3.4 from source works great - export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
by David C. Rankin 24 May '12

24 May '12

All, Just passing along my experience with the Apache OpenOffice 3.4 release - excellent for the first Apache release. It recreates all prior OO documents without the character/paragraph spacing issue that found its way into LO. It runs fantastic on 11.4 (I presume it will do the same on 12.x as well) The install is simple, but -- uninstall ALL prior OO releases before installing 3.4 (it installs fine in parallel with LO [OO installing in /opt]) This is required due to changes in Java that have taken place since the 3.3 release -- you will get a javadlx error if you forget. The install is straight forward: (1) uninstall prior OO versions (2) download OO 3.4 - http://www.openoffice.org/download/ (3) ungzip/untar the file (4) cd en-US/RPMS (5) rpm -Ivh *.rpm (6) (optional) if you don't have libre installed, then: cd desktop-integration/ rpm -Ivh openoffice.org3.4-suse-menus-3.4-9590.noarch.rpm (it conflicts with the LibreOffice menus if installed) (7) if you have libgtk installed (you probably do) set the 'export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome' option in your .bashrc to insure that you can *deselect* (uncheck) the default OpenOffice.org file chooser dialog in Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org -> General setting dialog. That will provide you with the gtk2 (quite good) file chooser for your desktop (i.e. in fluxbox, lxde, openbox, xfce, etc... where native desktop integration isn't available) All in all, I've been very impressed. I've filed a few small bugs against it, but nothing that prevents it from being a great daily driver office suite. Yes, I've heard the howls - "oh we only use LO now, Oracle has ... done this or ... done that to openoffice" --> nonsense. It is an Apache project and all opensouce now. You don't mind using their webserver -- do you? Well worth the download and install. Hopefully somebody will package it for opensuse and offer it as part of the standard distribution to provide a user choice among office suites. A monopoly in office suites is never a good thing for end users... -- David C.

[opensuse] Problem with 12-1 update repo
by Roger Oberholtzer 24 May '12

24 May '12

I have a 12.1 system I want to update. However, I get the following error from zypper: # zypper cc All repositories have been cleaned up. # zypper ref Repository 'Application:Geo' is up to date. Repository 'Education' is up to date. Repository 'Factory:Contrib' is up to date. Repository 'Nvidia' is up to date. Repository 'suse-12.1' is up to date. Repository 'suse-12.1 non-oss' is up to date. Repository 'suse-12.1 update' is up to date. Building repository 'suse-12.1 update' cache [done] Error building the cache: [|] Failed to cache repo (4). Skipping repository 'suse-12.1 update' because of the above error. Some of the repositories have not been refreshed because of an error. If I do a 'zypper cc', shouldn't the cache be empty at the start? I am experiencing a problem with ssh when I run an X app remote from this 12.1 system. So I want to do an update before sorting that. The problem is that after a few seconds of running the X app over X, I get a message about a corrupt packet and then the ssh connection is closed. But first to update the system...

[opensuse] Packman repository mistmatch.
by Carlos E. R. 23 May '12

23 May '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, For several hours, I have been trying to upgrade some packgages from packman, without success. Yast offers to upgrade, for example, wine-mp3 to 1.1.39-12.6. When it tries to download it, fails. I look with a browser, and indeed, that package is not available, and instead, is 1.1.39-12.7, dated yesterday. What is hapening? And when I say to skip, it also skips all updates from the rest of repositories, not only those from packman. Worst, everytime I open yast package manager, it says that on a previous session it could bot install something, shall we install now? I say no, and on the next fireup, it says the same! Is it possible to tell it to forget, as those packages are not in the servers? I had to taboo it! Taboo, accept, exit, enter again, say keep it, accept, exit! :-( And it only remembers the package that got stuck, not the rest of the packages I told it to upgrade and that they failed. Probably a good thing, or I would have to block all of those one by one... (this is oS 11.4) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I am guessing the only reason to have it in KDE:anywhere is so it uses the same version of QT as KDE is using. But beyond that, it has no real connection to KDE at all. If anything, I would expect it to be in lang:python as it is a python and not a KDE extension. Or a QT:Extra directory. Just my 2 cents.
