[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] How to submit bug reports that actually get to a package maintainer
by Karl Ove Hufthammer 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Dear list members, I have read http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports on submitting bug reports. And about a year ago I submitted a bug report on a packaging bug in the ‘neverball’ package (official OSS repository), using the above guidelines: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699124 This never got a reply, and it looks like the assignee (which was automatically selected by Bugzilla) is a person that haven’t worked on openSUSE for *many* years, and probably will never look at the bug report (since he’s now at Canonical). Since the official way of reporting bugs in packages (like this one) doesn’t work, who should I contact, or where should I submit packaging bug reports so that they get to people that actually are able to do anything about them? I’d be grateful for any advice. -- Karl Ove Hufthammer http://huftis.org/ Jabber: karl(a)huftis.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] GNOME:Stable:3.4 on openSUSE 12.2
by Roger Oberholtzer 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

For a while the evolution app in openSUSE 12.1 has been failing. I have used other readers while waiting for a fix. I decided that perhaps a better solution was to add GNOME:/STABLE:/3.4/ and see what that evolution does. Perhaps not one of my better solutions. Aside from evolution still not starting (for apparently different reasons), things like ConsoleKit are now failing. I get a popup message when logging in to KDE about this. So, networking and other things are now broken. I see that a common complaint is that there are undefined symbols. For example, one of the libraries that was updated is: /usr/lib/libpolkit-gobject-1.so.0 and it complains that g_mutex_lock is not defined. This file comes from libpolkit0, which was built July 2. So I would think some other person would have experienced any obvious problem. Other libs make other complaints. But the common thing is that the undefined functions all start with 'g_'. So I am guessing some GNOME library did not get updated. There were no errors when I did the update. So whatever was installed was considered consistent by zypper. Perhaps there is a missing dependency. I also have GNOME:Apps enabled. My KDE is from KDE:Release:48. Perhaps there is some dependency interaction? I do not have any Factory repos. Anyone else been there done that? Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
