[opensuse] Android print solution?
by David C. Rankin 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Guys, With the iphone we were able to configure good print function via CUPS/Avahi, is there anything similar that can be done with an Android tablet? Looking, it doesn't appear that there is any basic print capability provided by Android (3.2 Honeycomb). I would like to print to by openSuSE server in the same manner I do from iOS. Anybody found a good solution? I have found PrintBot, but that isn't a solution because it cannot be used legally where confidentiality is required. (data is transferred to a 3rd party server before printing). I need to find a direct print solution. What says the braintrust? -- David C.

[opensuse] tracker-miner-fs and the gnome-panel-applet-tracker
by George Olson 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

I have found that I have tracker-miner-fs running, and often at startup it hogs the cpu for a little while. I found this thread in the forums which was interesting, basically the same problem. http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/459… The solution given at the end of the thread is, "If you have the gnome-panel-applet-tracker installed, you can disable it, just write "Tracker" in the box that you'll find when you click on the Suse button." I do have the gnome-panel-applet-tracker installed, as I found by rpm-qa | grep tracker, but how do you actually open and run this panel-applet so that you can find the Suse button and disable tracker? I also saw in my rpm qa that firefox and thundrbird use the tracker-miner. Will disabling it affect firefox and thunderbird? -- G.O.

[opensuse] Skype 4.0 for Linux
by Carl Hartung 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

Hi All, This item just appeared on slashdot ... Skype 4.0 For Linux Now Available http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/06/14/223213/skype-40-for-linux-now-avai… "Anyone who uses Skype on Linux will be happy to hear that a new version has been made available today(1), bringing with it a host of essential updates and new features. Skype 4.0, codenamed "Four Rooms for Improvement," is long overdue, and Marco Cimmino makes a point of thanking Linux users for their patience on the Skype blog(2). The main improvements Skype is delivering include much improved audio call quality, better video support, and improved chat synchronization. For video specifically, Skype has spent time implementing support for a much wider range of webcams, so if your camera didn't work before today you might be surprised to find it does in Skype 4.0. Visually, Skype has received a new Conversations View, which brings all chats into a single, unified window (you can revert to the old view if you prefer). There's also a new Call View, presence and emoticons have been redesigned, and you can now store and view numbers within each Skype profile."

[opensuse] Printing with Canon IP1600 - cups thinks success, but nothing comes out
by Myrosia Dzikovska 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

I am trying to get a Canon IP1600 to print in OpenSuse 12.1. There are ubuntu instructions on the web, that I am trying to adapt http://askubuntu.com/questions/41615/how-to-install-canon-pixma-ip1600 I downloaded the drivers, tracked down older libraries (gtk1), and installed the rpms. The ppd file needed minor corrections, to say resolution 600x600 instead of 600/600, but with that passed the cupstestppd. Yast print setup happily detects the printer, reads in the ppd file, and lets me choose the ip2200 driver (which according to the docs should support ip1600 as well) . But when I print a test page, nothing comes out of the printer. The cups error log is attached. It contains no errors - cups clearly thinks that all is well. I tried using the command it logs from the command line, with a ps file, but that just got a bunch of stuff printed on the console instead of going to the printer. What could be going wrong here?

[opensuse] Need help: I found out where s2disk crashes.
by Carlos E. R. 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm using 11.4. Hibernation, which has been relieably for years, is now crashing at the "Snapshotting system" message since about two or three months, after two or more hibernation cycles. I have hacked the suspend_system() function in suspend.c, adding messages that get printed to the screen so that I can see where it gets stuck. After doing the modification, system refused to crash for a week, till yesterday: finally, I got a crash after the "step 1.2" message: sprintf(message, "Snapshotting system - step 1.1"); printf("%s: %s\n", my_name, message); if (set_image_size(snapshot_fd, image_size)) { error = errno; break; } sprintf(message, "atomic_snapshot - step 1.2"); printf("%s: %s\n", my_name, message); <=========== if (atomic_snapshot(snapshot_fd, &in_suspend)) { error = errno; break; } So, it appears that atomic_snapshot() fails, and fails to report, and kernel crashes silently.

[opensuse] OpenSuSE 12.1: connect-debounce error
by Peter Maffter 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

I am still testing my new machine. First I had problems with the fake raid of my AsrockZ68 Extreme4 Gen3: OpenSuSE 11.4 was not able to handle this in RAID1 mode. I switched to OpenSuSE 11.3 which worked. But I still wanted a new version of SuSE so I tried 12.1 a few days ago. There was a huge problem with Systemd and RAID mechanism which gave me the impression that this part is far too immature to be used. This view of mine is confirmed by the many problems of systemd that can be read on the internet. I switched back to SysV initialization instead of Systemd. SysV works now. But both initialization methods show an error: "<3>[ 4.722529] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled" This was not shown when booting SuSE 11.3 so I wonder why SuSE 12.1 fills up the logfile with that message: "... Feb 10 10:07:53 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 246.401407] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:07:55 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 248.441347] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:07:57 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 250.489279] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:07:59 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 252.537238] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:08:01 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 254.585179] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:08:03 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 256.633113] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:08:05 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 258.677047] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:08:07 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 260.724980] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled ..." :-( All USB ports seem to work and accept e.g. USB sticks. USB ports are ok as far as I can see. No hardware was changed between 11.3 and 12.1. Luckily I have the boot.msg from 11.3 and there are differences when detecting USB: SuSE 12.1: <6>[ 2.110478] hub 1-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 2.130475] hub 2-0:1.0: 2 ports detected .... <6>[ 2.555082] hub 1-1:1.0: 6 ports detected <===this one shows the debounce later on ... <6>[ 2.799073] hub 2-1:1.0: 8 ports detected .. <6>[ 6.116515] hub 3-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 6.116672] hub 4-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 6.117044] hub 5-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 6.117148] hub 6-0:1.0: 2 ports detected SuSE 11.3 detects USB different and showed no error: <6>[ 1.066475] hub 1-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 1.080467] hub 2-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 1.459873] hub 1-1:1.0: 6 ports detected ... <6>[ 1.678075] hub 2-1:1.0: 8 ports detected ... <6>[ 4.443160] hub 3-0:1.0: 4 ports detected ... <6>[ 4.443582] hub 4-0:1.0: 4 ports detected Is there a bug in the USB detection of SuSE 12.1?

[opensuse] KVM fails to autostart guest
by Sunny 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

I have a kvm virtual machine hosted in Tumbleweed, with bridged network setup. I have set the guest to autostart when the host boots. Unfortunately, after reboot of the host, the virtual machine is not started. Looking at the log files, libvirt fails to start it, because the bridged network interface is not ready when it tries to start the guest: libvirtd[1403]: 2012-06-20 13:23:49.833+0000: 1485: error : qemuAutostartDomain:177 : Failed to autostart VM 'testguest': Cannot get interface MTU on 'br0': No such device I can see that the interface br0 is started after that. So, this is possible bug, and I'll report it so it can be fixed, but meanwhile, where should I change the startup order of the services, so libvirt is invoked after fully working network? I'm not familiar with the new (not init.d) startup process. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Artificial Intelligence is no match for natural stupidity. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
