by Istvan Gabor 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

Hello: In LO 3.5 (3.5.4.6 from libreoffice repo) the print window shows the paper size on the left and uses inch units. 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.

[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.
