[opensuse] A volume "cruise-control" for VLC?
by Basil Chupin 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

I use vlc to watch TV. As everybody knows, the TV stations broacast commercials (ads in America terms) which are always some % louder than the program being broadcast - ans which is damn annoying :-( . Does anyone know of an application which would keep the loudest sound level set to comfortably listen to a program to apply to commercials? Something like a "cruise-control" on a car which keeps the car running along at a preset speed? Any ideas anyone?

[opensuse] linux mp3 encoder except from lame
by Istvan Gabor 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Hello: Is there a working mp3 encoder for opensuse 12 except from lame? I would like to recode a few mp3 files to lower bitrates but lame chokes on them with segmentation fault. There is no problem to play them with audacious or mpg123. I also tried this: mpg123 -s foster.mp3 | lame - out.mp3 but it exits with Warning: unsupported audio format Isn't the above command correct?

[opensuse] Good content filter for FireFox?
by Bernhard Voelker 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Hi *, we are using an OpenSuSE PC in a little public library to provide internet access to our users using FireFox. To prevent children to access internet sites they shouldn't reach, it seems that we need a web filter. Any recommendations? Is there any public portal which could be set as proxy? (That would be the easiest and most secure way IMO.) BTW: the software should filter mostly German words. Thank you & have a nice day, Berny -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Network priorities on only one ethernet line
by Dsant 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Is it possible to force network priorities, when downloading from two programs : hight priority and low priority ? For example : "zypper update" can wait compared to internet browsing. - the “nice” command with an option : no - IPv6 something maybe ?

[opensuse] problems with php web gallery
by Patrick Shanahan 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

My external sata drive case expired taking down my photo gallery, gallery2, until I receive a replacement case (ordered). I am trying to temporarily use a php gallery, http://sye.dk/sfpg/, which appears quick and easy but the index.php file shows nothing when accessed. I put: file: p.php <?php phpinfo(); ?> into the same directory and it access fine. http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~pat/sfpg/p.php http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~pat/sfpg/index.php yields a blank screen in firefox and a 500 error in quzilla the php test script, sfpg_test.php also shows blank or 500 error. subject index.php and sfpg_test.php are available to view: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~pat/index.phph http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~pat/sfpg_test.phph I assume I have missed something basic.... :^( thanks for any help or suggestions for a different quick/dirty fix. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Google maps doesn't work in Chromium?
by C 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

OK, this is an odd one... Google Maps does not work for me in Chromium on openSUSE 12.1. It works fine in the latest Firefox though. By "doesn't work" I mean the Mpas page loads, but I cannot search and display any maps... it just freezes on the default map. If you click a map link it will load the map at whatever resolution/zoom the map was set to, but you cannot interact with the map in any way. Anyone else running into this problem? Could it be related to Java? (I've removed OpenJDK... too many things don't work with OpenJDK... and installed OracleJava 1.6 and 1.7) C. -- openSUSE 12.1 x86_64, KDE 4.9.0 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] NFS root access
by lynn 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Hi 12.1 Our Samba4 DC has a Kerberised NFS mounted share. I need the root user to be able to write to the share. I can do this by mounting it with: no_root_squash,sec=sys Is there any way I can do it with: sec=krb5? root has a ticket in /tmp/krb5cc_0 but he always gets permission denied when the share is mounted krb5, even with the no_root_squash Thanks, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] setfacl problem

Hi everyone I seem to have group rw on all files created on this directory: getfacl home # file: home # owner: root # group: root user::rwx user:administrator:rwx group::r-x mask::rwx other::r-x default:user::rwx default:user:administrator:rwx default:group::r-x default:mask::rwx default:other::r-x I want: user::rwx user::administrator:rwx (which I have) but, what I'm missing is: group::r-x I think it is something to do with mask::rwx Is that correct and if so how do I change (recursively) so that files are created r-x Thanks, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
