[opensuse] Gnome 3 Network Issues
by Swapnil Bhartiya 07 May '12

07 May '12

I am travelling and I am noticing a lot of issues with Gnome 3 Network. I am running openSUSE 12.1 and at Dullas Airport openSUSE under Gnome 3 was not picking up the free WiFi had to boot into Ubuntu which immediately picked the available wifi. Now I am at my friends place and Gnome 3 is not connecting to the available network. Also there is no way to change the password for the given network it keeps everything greyed. Once you try to connect and it shows connection failed, it doesn't even show up in the list of available network. Thank god that I had Ubuntu installed so that I was able to work or post this email. I am still here so I would like to troubleshoot as I don't want to get stuck in a situation like this again.

[opensuse] mounting a mac os drive in opensuse
by George Olson 07 May '12

07 May '12

I am trying to mount a mac os drive (from my son's broken mac) into linux to get the data off of it. I actually successfully did this with the same drive about 6 months ago when I was using 11.4. I installed hfsutils, used fdisk to check which device the drive is when I plugged it in, and it is /dev/sda1. So I made the directory /mnt/macdrive and then as root typed the following with the following result: linux-aw90:/ # mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda1 /mnt/macdrive mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so so I checked dmesg | tail and I get this for the last couple of lines: [ 874.947485] hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock [ 899.247767] SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=48:5b:39:f3:76:92:c0:3f:0e:7e:fa:f9:08:00 SRC=192.168.0.1 DST=192.168.0.151 LEN=78 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=398 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=1025 DPT=137 LEN=58 I don't follow that last line except that I see a mac address, my default gateway, and my ip address. Don't understand the other things. So I was thinking that maybe it is hfs and not hfs+, so I tried to mount it as hfs instead: linux-aw90:/ # mount -t hfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/macdrive mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so same result.

[opensuse] Where is the plain "times" font in Libre Office?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I want to use fonts Times (not Times New Roman) in Libre Office Writer. It is a printer font. It is not in the list of fonts that LO displays.

[opensuse] PLasma desktop lockup and nVidia driver replacement
by George Olson 05 May '12

05 May '12

I have had this happen before, but this time I think I finally isolated the problem. When Desktop Effects are enabled, using alt-tab to switch between workspaces my system locks up. It also locks up with the desktop cube effect enabled and trying to switch between workspaces using ctrl-F11. It does not lock up every time, but the only consistent thing has been desktop effects enabled. Here is a segment of my log messages for the time that the system locked up: May 5 09:03:59 linux-aw90 kernel: [24314.701263] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:0d.0: fail post-validate sync May 5 09:03:59 linux-aw90 kernel: [24314.701277] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:0d.0: validate both_list May 5 09:03:59 linux-aw90 kernel: [24314.701291] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:0d.0: validate: -16 May 5 09:03:59 linux-aw90 kernel: [24314.769564] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:0d.0: error fencing pushbuf: -16 May 5 09:03:59 linux-aw90 kernel: [24314.777875] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:0d.0: PGRAPH -

My mouse was responsive, but nothing on the keyboard was responsive, so I had no choice but to hit the reset button on the computer and reboot. It seems that the error is related to the nouveau driver for my nvidia display, and I googled to find that some other people have had related problems with the nouveau driver (though I didn't see any on SUSE forums, only other distros). I am using my desktop (box #1 below) and the driver description is more accurate to be listed like this: nVidia C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] The big question is this. Is it better to get a proprietary nVidia driver, and will that make my graphics generally perform better, as well as not have the system lockups? The nVidia driver available from the nVidia repositories is x11-video-nvidiaG02. I sometimes read people not wanting to use proprietary drivers so I am hesitant, thinking this might cause more problems than it solves. Any ideas? -- G.O.

[opensuse] yast vs zypper and dependencies
by George Olson 05 May '12

05 May '12

Just a quick question about using yast vs zypper for installing software... I usually use yast2 to install software because I like the graphical interface. I noticed that if there is a dependency conflict yast will give a graphic popup with choices on how to resolve the conflict. The only issue I have with Yast is that I can't select, copy, and paste in order to troubleshoot if there is a problem. But I can do that in a konsole, so I am wanting to get more familiar with zypper. So the question is, does zypper analyze and prompt for choices if you try and install something and there is a dependency conflict? Or do you have to know in advance what the dependencies are and do all that manually? -- G.O.

[opensuse] free youtube
by jdd 05 May '12

05 May '12

Hello ;-) I manage my own personal hosted server and I'm very glad of this, because this nallows me to share some products with a much better quality than public ones. Specially, videos on youtube of facebook are extremely compressed At fisrt, I had mostly pĥotos and I manage them with piwigo (recommended). But I have more and more videos. Fo then I use a piwigo plugin. However this plugin is a bit light. It's pretty difficult with it to scan a video, go back to see again a small part of the clip, or simply see more than around 10 minutes long clip. Do you know of any youtube or daylymotion free clone I could use? using pure html is quite boring. I would really like to have full html5 compatibility, flash makes me sick :-( the web show two: PHPmotion and ClipBucket, however: * I will be the only to upload videos, I can use ftp or fish (preferably) and have no use of the resizing of videos * I will have mostly private videos (for the family), but also some public ones I use openSUSE servers (11.4 for now) thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] what is better server for video sharing
by jdd 05 May '12

05 May '12

Hello, My own hosted server is now $25 (per month) for 2Gb ram and 1To Hard drive to serve videos it's a bit short. However my traffif is usually very low, only when I deliver new videos there are peaks what is better on your feeling: having two similar servers with load balancing or for nearly the same price as two servers only one but with 4 threads ans 16Gb ram? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
