[opensuse] Does anyone know why icons disappear from apps and panel?
by Oddball 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

Hi, I am using 12.1 on an eeepc seashell. KDE 4.7.2 After switching desktops a few times, or after wake up from sleep, icons are gone from apps and panel. The functionality is still there, when hovering it shows, but the icons are gone. Is there a way to make this behavior stop? (it is not nice when your candy gets stolen.. ;-) -- Have a nice day..

[opensuse] Help me liberate my smartphone!!!
by Roger Luedecke 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

I'm sick of running a closed OS on my phone, and using closed apps. At the very least I'd like to flash it with Cyanogen mod or some such... though I'd rather have Firefox OS or WebOS. Any suggestions? I'm tired of this broken, spying mess from Verizon. I know this isn't exactly openSUSE specific, but I can think of no better community than my own to answer this quest. *Problem with Cyanogen mod is that their DL links seem to be broken. -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Ambassador -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OBS source rpm dependency
by Roger Oberholtzer 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

Hi all, I am trying to build an RPM from the source RPM (obtained from OBS). Usually this works fine. Now I am trying to build pidgin-sipe (company has gone all Microsoft Lync on me), but when run the rpmbuild command, I get: pkgconfig(nss) is needed by pidgin-sipe-1.12.0-3.1.2.src What package provides this on openSUSE 11.2? I am building it because I need it on openSUSE 11.2. Otherwise I would just use the pre-built RPM. This method has been working great - up until now. I am trying a source RPM from 11.4 and 12.1. These have usually been working fine with 11.2.

[opensuse] Motherboards
by Gary Hodder 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Hi all, I am wondering what motherboards users are using on there Linux box? I had a Asus m4a79t deluxe but in corroded under 2 years and failed. Asus blames the customer oxidation and will not give warranty even though it has 3 years warranty. Strange how a old p5 Intel machine beside it is perfectly fine. Asus warranty not worth the paper its written on. Have a Asus crosshair V formula that spent more times being repaired than been used. It still comes up with eprom errors on boot and runs like a dog and Asus will not give money back as they say they do not support Linux. So we have proved that this brand is crap, what else is there? Am looking at the Gigabyte ga-990fxa-d3, does this board play well with Linux as looking at putting it in what was the m4a79t box. Thanks Gary. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] So confused ....................

I am at the derivatives page and I see: Get the latest KDE Reloaded CD. Reloaded includes all KDE patches and openSUSE branding. Get the latest KDE Four Live CD. Four Live includes mostly vanilla KDE packages and upstream branding. Built on openSUSE 12.1 with KDE-4.8.x. But yet when I go to those pages, I see: "KDE Four Live" CD These installable openSUSE 11.3 based Live CD/Live "KDE Reloaded" CD These installable openSUSE 11.3 based Live CD/Live SO, which is it - 11.3 - or - 12.1 ????? -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing& Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler(a)att.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home& Business user of Linux - 11 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] WPA connection but no route
by Myrosia Dzikovska 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

I am running OpenSuse 12.1 on a laptop, connecting to a variety of networks with no problems using NetworkManager (4 different networks, not counting my home network, in the last 4 months). So my setup should be OK. But I suddenly started experiencing issues with a new WPA network (while away on a trip). My Android smartphone connects to this network without problems, as do several of my hosts' computers. I am also able to connect my laptop to the network over the ethernet. But wireless connection fails in a strange way.The network is WPA secured. I have the key. I enter it in networkmanager. The system connects and gets an IP address assigned. Networkmanager reports that the connection is successful. I know that the key is correct, because when I deliberately put in the incorrect one, I get a message that connection failed and I am re-prompted for the password. So, I get my IP assigned via DHCP. But I cannot reach the network. My routing table gets set up as Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0 But then I cannot ping the router: ping 192.168.1.1 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. >From 192.168.1.106 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable where "192.168.1.106" is the IP address assigned to my computer. --- No errors that I can see in dmesg or in networkmanager log --- Jul 10 01:29:57 linux-3lvi NetworkManager[1243]: <info> Policy set 'puppiesrule1' (wlan0) as default for IPv4 routing and DNS. Jul 10 01:29:57 linux-3lvi NetworkManager[1243]: NetworkManager[1243]: <info> Policy set 'puppiesrule1' (wlan0) as default for IPv4 routing and DNS. ---- Given how many different other devices are currently connected to the same network (including my own phone), and that wired connection works, this really seems to be the OpenSuse/NetworkManager with wireless problem. What should I be checking next? I already checked the key in the obvious way: my smartphone connects with this key, and I verified that if I give the completely wrong key, then NetworkManager fails to connect at all. So I am confused about what else it could be. Thanks, Myrosia -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
