[opensuse] Help with a survey
by Dominique Leuenberger 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hi all, my deepest apologies for spamming you, this mail is not opensuse related at all. (sharpen your knifes). My wife is currently finalizing her master thesis and is in progress of collecting data through a (very) short survey. As she needs a few hundred samples (due to various parameters in the test), she needs all the help from all over the places. So if you please could spare 5 minutes of your time and browse over to the site http://marina.leuenberger.net/shop.php and fill in this short survey, that would be highly appreciated! Also, feel free to spread this as far as you can. Thank you very much for your time!

[opensuse] Bug in Wake on LAN (WOL)
by James Knott 15 Jul '12

15 Jul '12

I've noticed a bug in WOL. The normal command is /usrb/in/wol <MAC address>. However, you're supposed to be able to specify a host name or IP address, to force a specific interface. This is done with the -h, --host, -i or --ipaddr options. This is supposed to use the destination IP address, but still use the broadcast MAC. However, instead of using the broadcast MAC, it does an arp to determine the MAC address, which will of course fail, as the computer is not running to respond. If the command is issued while the MAC address is still in the arp cache, it will work. Has anyone else tried this? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

In my desktop the units are set to metric, that is centimeter, and in liberoffice the units are set to centimeter. How can I have metric units in the print window?

[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] Duplicity Question/problem
by andreil1 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

Hi, folks, I have a problem with duplicity (0.6.13 on SuSE 11.3) - a nice backup utility. Backup archives keep growing and growing in spice of explicit command to remove old backups. For example, for daily backup I use these command: # duplicity have well known bug of not cleaning properly cache folder rm -Rf /root/.cache/duplicity/ duplicity full --no-encryption /home/docs file:///backup/company/daily/docs duplicity remove-older-than 1D --force file:///backup/company/daily/docs I tried backing without "full" option, problem was the same. Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). Andrei -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] LibreOffice
by Ken Schneider - openSUSE 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

I have LibreOffice version 3.4.5 installed and when writing a document today, with auto spell check enabled, just about every word was underlined indicating that the word was misspelled. I used F7 to bring up the spell checker and every suggestion for the correct spelling was in a foreign language even though I only have the US English installed. Has anyone else noticed this? openSUSE 12.1 Latest version from openSUSE-12.1-Update.
