[opensuse] Re: OT: Using s/mime cert in gmail via opensuse 12.1 / firefox?
by Greg Freemyer 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

Does anyone know of anything that works? (I know I can use thunderbird, I'm just trying to get the gmail web interface to work.) Anyway, I found "penango" which is a firefox extension for doing s/mime for gmail/firefox, but I've installed it and I can't tell that penango is doing anything at all.

[opensuse] System Monitor - CPU at max
by James Knott 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

I have previously mentioned the extremely poor performance of my main computer, since updating to openSUSE 12.1. On this computer, System Monitor shows CPU history solidly at 100%, only occasionally dropping. Memory and Swap shows memory at 1.5 G of 2.9 and swap at 0.04 of 8. Sometimes the computer bogs down do much that it's essentially unusable. It's a 64 bit AMD CPU & 3 GB of memory and it ran 11.0 very well. Below is a recent "top" capture showing significant amounts of CPU and memory being used by plugin-container and Xorg. I have disabled flash in Seamonkey and Firefox browsers. I have also tried both NVidia and Nouveau video drivers. I even tried turning off PAE support in the BIOS, as it's not necessary with 64 bit and also less than 4 GB of memory. Any idea as to what's causing the performance hog? What I can check? A notebook, also running 12.1, does not exhibit this behaviour. On it, Xorg is running about 3% CPU and 0.5% memory (4 GB installed). Plugin-container doesn't seem to be running on that computer. Can it be turned off? If I reboot the computer or restart the desktop, performance is temporarily better, though not what it should be. tnx jk Tasks: 196 total, 5 running, 189 sleeping, 0 stopped, 2 zombie Cpu(s): 86.3%us, 13.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.7%si, 0.0%st Mem: 3088796k total, 2479776k used, 609020k free, 173100k buffers Swap: 8388600k total, 43604k used, 8344996k free, 829156k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 5303 jknott 20 0 603m 96m 29m R 59.4 3.2 2713:28 plugin-containe 3743 root 20 0 484m 151m 22m R 21.6 5.0 768:44.25 Xorg 4620 jknott 20 0 474m 7096 4188 S 4.3 0.2 37:02.39 pulseaudio 8353 jknott 20 0 503m 52m 25m R 4.3 1.7 0:01.02 plugin-containe 4687 jknott 20 0 624m 39m 23m R 4.0 1.3 156:49.87 konqueror 8297 jknott 20 0 866m 194m 50m S 2.3 6.5 0:08.94 firefox-bin 4675 jknott 20 0 492m 25m 18m S 2.0 0.8 57:46.31 ksysguard 4477 jknott 20 0 955m 84m 27m S 0.3 2.8 15:13.98 plasma-desktop 4683 jknott 20 0 9072 1176 700 S 0.3 0.0 9:19.13 ksysguardd 4898 jknott 20 0 939m 130m 26m S 0.3 4.3 5:44.52 chromium 4913 jknott 20 0 1059m 119m 17m S 0.3 4.0 1:36.51 chromium 4917 jknott 20 0 916m 87m 16m S 0.3 2.9 2:38.82 chromium 1 root 20 0 12604 716 656 S 0.0 0.0 0:02.46 init 2 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.03 kthreadd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Automatic option synaptics driver gone from settings.
by Odd Ball 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

Hi, I now use 12.1 on an eeepc seashell series . I noticed that a very important option: disable pad when typing, and the time to set pad active again, are gone from the touchpad setting menu, in systemsettings. Is there a way to get that option back? You have no idea how annoying it is when you're typing, and suddenly the cursor is taken over by mouseposition. And have to copy, cut and paste the lines that are somewhere into some other teksts inserted..

[opensuse] SuSE 12.1: KMail 4.7.2 unusable
by Peter Maffter 04 Jul '12

04 Jul '12

I just transferred my emails from my old kmail to the kmail 4.7.2 in OpenSuSE 12.1 via import. Afterwards akonadi_agent_l is really going "mad". When I tried to resort the approx 65k of SuSE mailinglist stuff it went "mad" second time (I had to kill kmail and akonadi_agent_l). Sometimes nepomukservices, akonadi_nepomuk, akonadiserver also jump in and the (quadcore !) machine uses nearly 90% of CPU for that crap! What are these programs doing (I was not able to find a manpage for this on my downloaded 12.1)? Can I make them completely silent or switch them off? Currently thunderbird is much faster and usable and I am thinking of moving to thunderbird finally. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Wifi broken after update: 12.1
by Odd Ball 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

Hi, I just installed 12.1 on a quadcore eeepc seashell series. While installing the option wpa(1,2)psk tkip was not present, so had to use a rope. When testing the network, both rope and wifi did not work. After login in the networkmanager did succeed in finding network, and accepting my passphrase, so it worked. I wifi-d the update: truckload of packages, after that wifi broken. Does not scan or see or find the network. The rope does work. *I forgot: what package did i have to update again to get it working again?* Oh and the security is tremendously overdone with network setting: twice rootpasword wallet, also twice, but still no connection. Maybe the attention got to the wrong stuff? As my network is already protected, why do i need root password, and kdewallet to get acces to these settings? I think it is very user-unfriendly this way... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] problems building perl 5.14.2 or 5.16.0 using RPMBUILD, build from tar or perlbrew (a cpan util)
by Linda Walsh 01 Jul '12

01 Jul '12

I run into the same problems building 5.16.0 whether I run from perlbrew or rpmbuild. I'm sorta wondering how perl is built for the distribution if I am having such a hard time rebuilding it or building it on a suse system. This points to a problem I mentioned a few years back with the build system. If something only builds on a remote build system -- you end up with a proprietary build system that can't easily be reproduced to rebuild products. The whole idea of open source was to be able to fix things in it that were broken by building your own. If I can't do that -- easily -- on my own system, I'm beginning to wonder how well that fits the definition of 'open source'. Right now, I have 2 main failure modes depending on how I build. If I build from a fresh login -- a default config: sh Configure -de make make test That doesn't work -- Configure gets confused and drops in 'null' for programs (like make, rm, and maybe a few others). If I build from env -i (shell-dash/sh/bash) -- Configure will build, but the C compiler (cc or gcc) is broken: make `sh cflags "optimize='-O2'" perlmini.o` -DPERL_IS_MINIPERL -DPERL_EXTERNAL_GLOB perlmini.c CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -std=c89 -O2 -Wall -ansi -W -Wextra -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wc++-compat -Wwrite-strings gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory cat >lin.c #include <stdio.h> main() { printf ("Hello World\n"); } $ gcc lin.c gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory $ set IFS=' ' LINENO='' OLDPWD='/home/tools/perl' OPTIND='1' PATH='/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin' PPID='27167' PS1='$ ' PS2='> ' PS4='+ ' PWD='/home/tools/perl/perl-5.16.0' _='lin.c' My path looks normal -- so what's the problem -- why can't I run the C compiler? Who knows why a normal login run of configure ends up with this: End of configuration questions. Stripping down executable paths... Creating config.sh... ./Configure: line 22748: -f: command not found ./Configure: line 23838: -f: command not found ./Configure: line 23844: -f: command not found Doing variable substitutions on .SH files...

FWIW,,, zypper ve, shows all dependencies are verified -- that my system is 'coherent'... So won't this build? (Have had problems rebuilding samba as well, so I don't think it is just perl). Building 5.14.2 --- fails in a different but consistent way -- one of the files processed when building a ".xs" file from a .c file puts a bogus "#line file" line in that is missing the line number.... Ideas? Time to get a new distro?....(that would suck!).... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] New kernel - 12.1 not shutting down properly
by James Knott 30 Jun '12

30 Jun '12

A few days ago, there was a new kernel update for openSUSE 12.1. Since then, I've noticed that my ThinkPad E520 will no longer shut off. Also, I'm unable to recover from sleep mode, after closing the cover. Has anyone else experienced this? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
