I've observed this behaviour as well - ended up reverting to the previous release. Still not ideal, but at least it doesn't crash every time something comes up on the screen that requires it (which seems more or less to be the case with the 235 build. 233 seems better).

[opensuse] Using projectM, is it broken?
by Roger Luedecke 08 Jun '12

I wanted to use the standalone for visuals over a projector at a party. But, though I installed the ProjectM-qt... I can't launch it. As far as I can tell, it doesn't actually exist. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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] rsync advice
by Roger Oberholtzer 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

I use rsync in a cron script to maintain a remote copy of some things. When I first set this up I did not have things deleted on the remote copy. Being an archive, I felt a few extra files are better than missing ones. I would now like to delete the remote-only files in a controlled fashion. So I have run this command to see what would be deleted: rsync -nazv --delete --delete-after --rsh=ssh theDir backup:/vol1/theDir My question is, would this rsync command only delete files on the destination system? In my case, in backup:/vol1/theDir? I do not want anything deleted in 'theDir'. I do not expect that there are any local files that are not in the remote. But just in case. In my dry run, I saw that there were many hundreds of files that could be deleted. Perhaps I should just collect the names and see if they exist locally. Which they should not... But would rsync ever delete files in 'theDir'?

[opensuse] minecraft significantly slower on linux
by Per Jessen 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

My son and his friends are crazy about minecraft - it runs in fine in both Linux and Windows (which he has around for other games), but minecraft is significantly under openSUSE 12.1 rather than in WinXP. The graphics aren't exactly overly complicated, but I can't think of anything else than the graphics driver? I'm using the latest amd drivers. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

This occurs during heavy io to the disk, to nfs mounts and USB disks and devices. It usually manifests during bulk copy and backup operations and sometimes while SuSEconfig runs after an update or install. When this occurs, system load goes up, slowly at first but accelerating over time and the shells hang on all external commands. No errors are reported, but the copy, backup or SuSEconfig seems hang or run endlessly. There appears to be blocking of io and several daemons going on that I can't trace back and cannot log because io is apparently blocked. The only solution is hold the power button down and turn it off. I had a problem earlier after installing 12.1 with disks seeking like mad that killed two disks. I used a third disk, did not use swap encryption and immediately updated, which seems to have helped reduce problems. The new disk is silent so I can't hear how much seeking is going on. I suspect this present problem is related. If it is a hardware issue, it is a most odd one that requires OpenSuSE 12.1 to manifest. It will not occur at any other time. Any sensible ideas?

[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.
