[opensuse] revert to libreoffice 3.4 from 3.5 in openSUSE 12.1
by Istvan Gabor 10 Aug '12

10 Aug '12

Hello: Opensuse 12.2 OSS repo originally had libreoffice 3.4. The OBS LO repo and now the 'official' update repo contains LO 3.5. Currently I have the latest official 3.5.4 update packages installed. It works. I would like to revert to LO 3.4 since I don't like version 3.5. I don't like that the page margins are not shown as before and page breaks are not shown at site but between pages. Furthermore Ctrl+Shift+Home/End combination does not select text as expected, only moves the cursor at start or end of the document. I checked whether the combination is occupied by KDE but there is not such combination on my shortcut list. My question: What is the proper way to revert to OSS 3.4 version? Previously I removed all LO 3.5 packages and reinstalled 3.4 but after that LO did not start with error message: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException' independently from which LO component was called. Is it not possible to go back to LO 3.4 from 3.5 on an up-to-date (update patches installed) 12.1 system or could there be some problem with my system? Does anyone have similar experience after moving back to LO 3.4 from 3.5? Thanks in advance, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] When I boot 12.1, my encrypted data partitions are not activated (systemd question)
by Carlos E. R. 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I installed fresh oS 12.1 in a test partition (XFCE). Everything is almost nice, except a few things, like encrypted partitions: the system does not ask for the password while it boots. The installation system recognized my encrypted partitions, asked for the password, created the correct entries are in fstab and crypttab files. But then the system never asks for the password when it boots (systemd mode). If I try to activate the partitions manually I get an error: bombadillo:~ # rccrypto status redirecting to systemctl crypto.service Loaded: masked (/dev/null) Active: inactive (dead) bombadillo:~ # rccrypto start redirecting to systemctl Failed to issue method call: Unit crypto.service is masked. That error message is greek to me. Masked? What is that? Locate finds me crypto.service: bombadillo:~ # locate crypto.service /lib/systemd/system/crypto.service bombadillo:~ # l /lib/systemd/system/crypto.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 7 02:43 /lib/systemd/system/crypto.service -> /dev/null bombadillo:~ # I delete that link as a trial, and I get a different result - but not good: bombadillo:~ # rm /lib/systemd/system/crypto.service bombadillo:~ # rccrypto status redirecting to systemctl crypto.service - LSB: Enables crypto file systems that couldn't be enabled in first part Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/boot.crypto) Active: inactive (dead) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/crypto.service bombadillo:~ # rccrypto start redirecting to systemctl bombadillo:~ # How can I start my encrypted filesystems, at boot or manually now? - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

[opensuse] tranfer a DVD to *.avi or WMP files?
by Joe Zien 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

This may be off topic but I find this forum very helpful. I have some old VCR tapes I want to transfer to DVD. I have a VCR/DVD combo recorder that I can dub VCR to DVD. How can you convert the DVD to *.avi files or Windows Media Player files so I can e-mail them to my family? I googled this and found an opensource Windows .exe program "handbrake" and "handbrake" in linux but couldn't get either to run. Has anyone tranfered a DVD to *.avi or WMP files? jozien -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] package 'search box' behavior
by Carl Hartung 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Hi All, I just tried to search for a package at this page: http://software.opensuse.org/121/en The 'helpful' read ahead function will /not/ let you type in a complete search criteria if it happens to contain a hyphen. The instant it 'sees' a hyphen, the search is prematurely initiated and the cursor is returned to the /start/ of the line -- as one is still typing -- to this effect: Typed: package-name Yielded: namepackage- regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

That is how I discovered the dates of the last/first messages in 'archive' and 'inbox'. The curiosity is I have set: [x] Keep messages archives in: o "Archives" Folder on Rankin Law Firm Archive options... When archiving messages, place them in: o Yearly archived folders [x] Keep existing folder structure of archived messages ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ In the preview in the settings window, that shows files listed by year in the archive, i.e.: Archive \-2010 \-2011 In the past there were folders shown under the archive folder in that fashion. Now in tbird, the year subfolders are completely missing! So there is a ui bug there in tbird. Here is a screenshot of the folder showing no folders: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/moz/email-missing.jpg In other thoughts - let me know and I'll work though them on my end. It looks like archive handling was 'updated' sometime in the version race from 3->14 and it looks like it might lead to data loss. - -- David C.
