What about firefox/thunderbird with your NVidia card? Do you see high cpu when scrolling mail lists in tbird or when browsing in FF? I have noticed a huge increase in cpu on my nvidia boxes with those two apps on Arch. (probably all GTK apps in kde3). -- David C.

[opensuse] how to password protect a portable harddrive for data exchange between windows and Linux?
by Per Jessen 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

I haven't worked with Windows in 10+ years, but now I occasionally have the need to transfer data (usually large amounts) from a customer Windows (XP or newer) machine to our local Linux machines - usually on a portable 2Tb USB-connected harddrive. This is generally done ad-hoc, so no real time or possiblity to prep the source Windows system with software etc. Is there a way to encrypt or password protect such a harddrive/ filesystem such that it is accessible from Windows and Linux both? (with very few or no changes on the Windows source system). If the same systems would work the Macs too it would be great :-) All pointers appreciated. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] libre office crash at start
by Istvan Gabor 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

Hello: I have openSUSE 12.1 64 bit with KDE 3.5.10. When I installed the system I chose libreoffice 3.5 from LO repo. It worked but as I did not like some change of the user interface (namely that the page margins are not visible) I decided to go back to LO 3.4. I have downgraded to LO 3.4 from oS 12.1 update repo (most packages are version 4.3.5.5-4.5.1). Now when I try to start LO it crashes: ~> oowriter terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException' KCrash: Application 'soffice.bin' crashing... By googling I found that this happened to LO 3.5.x earlier. Could not find anything related to oS 12.1 and LO 3.4. I removed libreoffice-kde, no change. How could I fix this?

[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.

Sure, both on Win and on Linux. There is no ready-to-use package for oS (licensing issues, IIRC), but there is simple installer on truecrypt site. -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] WTF? several anon_inode and /dev/null listings with lsof search
by rabidblogger＠Safe-mail.net 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

$ lsof | grep anon_inode anon_inode $ lsof | grep dev/null /dev/null I find several anon_inodes and over a dozen /dev/null listings, in some listings for each there are several processes which are repeated. I'm expecting this to be a rootkit, but none of the rootkit scanners find anything. Why are these two listings appearing for various processes? I'm not running any virtual machines, emulation, shares, printers, servers, etc. but these listings continue to appear, it doesn't matter what Linux distro I use, these continue to show, even when disconnected from the internet. What are they? Why are they appearing? How can I stop these from running? (if they're bad) I've searched the web and cannot find anything which explains these to my satisfaction. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Samsung Galaxy Tab 2
by James Knott 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet. One thing I've noticed is that when I connect it to my main computer, running openSUSE 12.1, it opens as a camera and I can't seem to get to other areas of the device for saving files etc. In Windows 7, some drivers were installed and I was then able to access it for saving files. Any idea how to get this to work with Linux? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
