[opensuse] User-defined Hooks when hibernating/resuming KDE?
by Fabian Scheler 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hi Folks, I'd like to execute a user-defined script when hibernating/resuming my machine within KDE, similar to the scripts within .kde4/{Autostart,shutdown} when logging into/out off KDE. Of course, I could place those scripts within /etc/pm/sleep.d but these scripts are used system-wide and run with root-permisions, I'd like to avoid both. So, I am looking for an infrastructure similar to Autostart/shutdown geared towards suspend/resume. Is there a ready-to-use solution for that purpose? Is KDE even aware of suspend/resume? Thanks in advance! Ciao, Fabian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is OpenSuSE 12.1 crypted swap a disk killer?
by jd 02 May '12

02 May '12

upgraded to 12.1 with a clean install and decided to use swap encryption since it seemed to have matured enough. I let the box run overnight to do some small jobs and later found it doing mad, massively insane swapping with no jobs running. it took 25mins to shut down, power off. on restart the disk heads started doing seeks spanning the disk and would frequently drop home on missed steps like the old 30Gb maxtor 3.5in pata disks used to do when they got hot. never did either of those before. bad disk, ja? but smart says all is good, i made another clean install on another disk & exact same thimg happens. afteR more checks, notice that disk access for both disks is slow & system complains disks can't dma. smart still says all is good. even after going back to plain old swap, both disks do mad seeks & bang about and won't do dma. Plugged in my 10.3 disk& all is well. have dma and all works as good as it used to. so did encrypted swap break my pata disks, maybe? anyone ever heard of such things happening? is it encrypted swap specifically or something else in 12.1 causing this? thanks in advance... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Performance of "cut" and "uniq"
by Jeff Janes 02 May '12

02 May '12

The "cut" binary that comes with openSUSE-12.1 is much slower than the "cut" I get by building from the coreutils srcpackage files that are from the openSUSE-12.1 repository. i | coreutils | package | 8.14-3.1.2 | x86_64 | openSUSE-12.1-Oss i | coreutils | package | 8.14-3.1.2 | x86_64 | openSUSE-12.1-12.1-1.4 | coreutils | srcpackage | 8.14-3.1.2 | noarch | openSUSE-12.1-Source The difference in performance is erased by setting LANG=C (the default is en_US.UTF-8), which change makes the installed binary much faster but doesn't change the built-from-source binary performance. See examples below. "uniq" seems to be in the same boat as as "cut". Is it a known issue that building from source lets the CPU safely take advantage of short-cuts to make things faster even under UTF-8 that a packaged binary cannot? Or perhaps is there a bug in the build-from-source that makes it faster, but somehow unsafe for UTF-8? perl -le 'my $x="x"x1024; print "123456,$x" foreach 1..1e6'| /usr/bin/time cut -d, -f2 |wc -c 71.93user 1.36system 1:13.58elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 3328maxresident)k perl -le 'my $x="x"x1024; print "123456,$x" foreach 1..1e6'| /usr/bin/time ~/coreutils_suse_source/bin/cut -d, -f2 |wc -c 3.81user 0.85system 0:05.08elapsed 91%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 3104maxresident)k perl -le 'my $x="x"x1024; print "123456,$x" foreach 1..1e6'| LANG=C /usr/bin/time ~/coreutils_suse_source/bin/cut -d, -f2 |wc -c 3.79user 0.89system 0:05.08elapsed 92%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 2368maxresident)k perl -le 'my $x="x"x1024; print "123456,$x" foreach 1..1e6'| LANG=C /usr/bin/time cut -d, -f2 |wc -c 3.68user 0.89system 0:05.00elapsed 91%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 2432maxresident)k Cheers, Jeff -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] git commits are seen in konversation
by Bogdan Cristea 01 May '12

01 May '12

I have noticed that if I am connected on konversation to a channel and I am commiting using git while working on a branch with a similar name as the konversation channel, each time I commit to the remote server these commits appear in konversation. Is there a way to disable this benhavior ? thanks -- Bogdan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE hangs on rsync
by George Olson 01 May '12

01 May '12

Howdy all, I run rsync in a console (BASH) from time to time, usually from a script file. I have found that on my KDE 4.8.2 box that KDE hangs up in the following way from time to time. It won't switch desktops when I click or use the Alt-function key key stroke, it won't show the popups from plasmoids, and it won't switch applications using alt-tab or clicking on them. In effect, it makes multi-tasking impossible for the duration of the rsync. It usually hangs for about 5 minutes and then anything I have clicked on during that time will pop up and it will function ok for about a minute or so before hanging again. In 4.7.2 I remember my machine going slow when using rsync, but not totally hanging. I just upgraded a week or so ago. Here is my system: Box #1: 12.1 | KDE 4.8.2 | AMD Athlon X3 | 64 | nVidia 8500GT | 4GB RAM I have not tried running my rsync script in a tty instead of Konsole, so I don't know if the issue is with Konsole or with KDE in general. What other information do I need to post here to help communicate the problem?

Webpin doesn't work any more since 11.3. Pascal doesn't seem to find the time, and nobody else took over maintenance of the server's part of that service, either. Google for "webpin opensuse" and read the first few relevant posts for more context. Use http://software.opensuse.org/search to search in OBS, and http://packman.links2linux.org/search to search in Packman repositories you don't have enabled.
