[opensuse] Evince & XPS? (on openSUSE 12.1)
by Adam Tauno Williams 21 Jun '12

21 Jun '12

I find references on the Evince roadmap that it can read XPS files since late 2011. This is done using functionality built on libgxps [a XPS related library]. But these files do not open on openSUSE 12.1 and I can't find a reference to a libgxps package [zypper search xps]. Is this support for a later version of Evince that is available for openSUSE 12.1? Or is libgxps not packaged for some reason [other than 'nobody has done it yet']? evince-3.2.1-2.1.2.x86_64 Linux linux-nysu.site 3.1.10-1.9-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Apr 5 18:48:38 UTC 2012 (4a97ec8) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[opensuse] Irregularly but recurring kernel warnings with different call traces (12.1 64bit)
by Torbjörn Klatt 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, since a few weeks I'm constantly but irregularly getting annoying and daunting kernel warnings. The causing programs are changing but "swapper", "kwin", "thunderbird-bin" and "kworker" are the usual guys. One of these warnings (the "swapper"-kind) can be found at the very end of this email (copied from /var/log/messages). I'm running openSUSE 12.1 64bit on a Lenovo Thinkpad R61 with Kernel 3.1.9. I already tried the 3.1.10 kernel but got the same warnings. First I thought it's due to failing memory and did several memchecks of both RAM modules separately and combined. Without any hints on errors. The S.M.A.R.T. values of the HDD seem ok as well (see smartctl output further down). As I said before, the warnings occur irregularly but I could figure out some kind of pattern: - the first warnings occur usually after a couple of hours when connected to AC and within a few minutes when on batteries - if the first warning occurred, I'll get subsequent ones every 10-90 seconds (each and every by another program from the list above) - rebooting the system helps most of the time, though sometimes I'm not able to shutdown the machine at all. It just freezes when hitting "Menu->Quit->Shutdown". - the more warnings I got (without rebooting), the harder it get's for any program (even not mentioned in the above list) or services (e.g. no any more WiFi) to work. I'm happy for any hints or suggestions. Cheers, Torbjörn - ---> $: uname -a Linux sattelite.site 3.1.9-1.4-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 27 08:55:10 UTC 2012 (efb5ff4) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux <--- - ---> $: smartctl -A /dev/sda

[opensuse] Chainloading network install ISO
by Myrosia Dzikovska 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

I want to run a system upgrade to OpenSuse 12.1 (from 11.4) on a machine that does not have a CD drive. I know I can make a bootable USB stick from the DVD iso. But I would prefer to do a network install. However, it seems a waste to burn the 150K network boot image onto a 4G USB stick. I looked around for options on the internet. Some iso images can be booted with memdisk. I tried to add a grub2 menu entry on a bootable USB stick that I have to book the OpenSuse Net install iso, as follows: menuentry "OpenSuse 12.1 Network Install 32bit from ISO" { linux16 /memdisk iso initrd16 (hd0,2)/isos/openSUSE-12.1-NET-i586.iso } This showed the OpenSuse boot menu, allowed me to select "installation", and then hung with black screen. Not surprising, since documentation says most Linux images won't work. Does anyone know how to make it work? Or other options for this that I am missing, that don't involve losing the whole USB stick to tiny boot image?

[opensuse] How to let Skype 4.0.0.7. find libstdc++.so.6.
by Oddball 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Hi, After an attempt to link the file, but not completely understand what to do, i understand now following: The library: libstdc++.so.6, which skype is looking for, is provided by libstdc++45. This library lives in /usr/lib , where skype looks. Unfortunately this version of skype looks for: GLIBCXX_3.4.15, which should provide libstdc++.so.6. GLIBCXX_3.4.15 does not exist, but skype is not told to look for: libstdc++44, or libstdc++45 or GLIBCXX_3.4.15, which all provide libstdc++.so.6. My idea was that it could not be so hard to let skype find this library. But you have to know what to do to accomplish that. As many people use skype, and want to use the latest version, i invite those who might know how to do it, to help, and explain, so other people can benefit from this, and are able to install the latest version also. As far as i can see, there are 3 options: 1) Get: GLIBCXX_3.4.15. That means someone who knows this lib, has to create a package for 11.4, and put it in a repo. 2) Create a fake GLIBCXX_3.4.15, copy libstdc++.so.6 into it, and put it where skype looks for it. (which is a bit strange, because libstdc++.so.6 is where it should be, and where skype looks, but does not find it.) 3) Make skype know the missing lib is not missing. And this is what i was trying to do yesterday. So: a)How do we let skype know that the lib is not missing? b) What are the, eventual, collateral consequences if we succeed?

[opensuse] How to install a package from a downloaddirectory with -nodeps?
by Oddball 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hi, I am very anxious to know how to install a package, which is in my downloaddirectory, and for which, according to packagekit a dependency is not fulfilled, while the file needed is provided by a package with a higher package number, or by a package with another name. Does anybody know the url for a discription, or can anybody tell me how to do it? Ofcourse i bear full responsibility for my actions.. ;-) thanks Rob. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Cannot write to USB drives as $USER? - openSUSE12.1/KDE4.8.4
by C 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

I've been puzzling over this one... it has to be simple/obvious, but I'm having a senior moment and can't seem to find the "right" way to make this work. The situation is, a new Linux user has a new openSUSE 12.1 x86_64 install and has updated it to KDE4.8.4. No other tweaks etc., and a default software lineup (other than the KDE4 update). He has an external 1 TB USB drive. He used YaST > Partioner to reformat the drive as ext4. This all went fine. Unplug the drive and plug it back in and it's automounted as expected... .except, $USER cannot write to the disk, only root has write permissions. Now on my own aged system I don't run into that issue.... but I can't remember if I changed something or what needs to be changed. I could say.. just open up a terminal and change the permissions on the mount point then plug in the drive (but that only works around the problem for that one drive)... or manually mount the drive with a different mask... but neither of these "solutions" should be necessary in a default setup should they? So... is there a configuration issue here? Or something else? What is the correct way for this to be handled?

[opensuse] How to set Networkmanager to autoconnect on startup, or when waking up?
by Oddball 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hi, I think it is not very userfriendly to have to connect manualy (wifi) after quiting screensaver or when waking up. Also i am used to get connected when i startup automaticaly, this is also not happening. Is there reason as to why this happens, or a way to set it the way one wants/likes it? I think these apps should just work, and not draw unnecessary attention to themselves. I understand security is important, but why do i have to give my walletpassword if i want to establish a wpa2/tkip connection? I was used to be connected to my inbox, and tabs already loaded, when i was booted up. Now i have to manualy connect via a plasmoid, because ifup does not work anymore the way it did in earlier versions. Or maybe i am spoiled all these things could work automaticly, when once set up right?
