[opensuse] KDE49 and opensuse 11.4
by ianseeks 05 Aug '12

05 Aug '12

Hi Well done KDE devs for completing 4.9. One question for the opensuse packagers or maybe 2. I've gone to this page http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=KDE_repositories#Upstream_release_ak… to get a repo for 11.4 but its only showing 12.1, 1. Is there going to be a 11.4 version 2. If not, can i use 12.1 with 11.4? regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I know this is a silly question, but do you have a full-text indexing engine installed? dovecot has the support for several engines, but afaik none is installed by default. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] x11vnc connenction, continous refreshing
by Istvan Gabor 04 Aug '12

04 Aug '12

Hello: Previously I frequently used x11vnc in an openSUSE 11.2 system from another oS 11.2 system. That is I logged in from my guest system to the host via ssh, started x11vnc server on the host, and vncviewer on the guest. It always worked well. Recently I have replaced the host to openSUSE 12.1, the guest is still oS 11.2. I can login to the host via ssh and can start x11vnc on the host, even can open vnc terminal on the guest by vncviewer, but the image is continously refreshing. I get the screen image of the host display, then it becomes black, then screen image, then black etc. I use the very same commands as before. Any idea how I could fix this or find the cause? 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] Problems with MTP
by Vojtěch Zeisek 04 Aug '12

04 Aug '12

Hi, I have problems when connecting Android tablets using MTP. I connected to my notebook (openSUSE 12.1, KDE 4.7) several Android phones (Motorola, Samsung, HTC, original ROMs or CyanogenMod, Android 2.X). When connecting those phones, the phone ask in which mode it should be connected to the computer. I choose as an USB mass storage device and it works fine. No problem here. But when I connect Samsung tablet (Android 2.2), it asks nothing and tries connect using Samsung Kies. As I saw Samusng Kies on Windows, it is... IMHO very bad software. :-) And "of course" no Linux support. As far as I know, it uses MTP (media transfer protocol). I see it in Dolphin, I can access the storages, but I see only top-level folders and I see them as empty. I can not copy anything there or to computer. Dolphin does not complain at all, it is just loading folder contents and times out... So it does not work. There seems to by no possibility to connect is as "ordinary" USB flesh disk. Similar situation is when I connect ASUS Transformer (Android 4.0). In its settings I can choose connecting as MTP or camera (PTP). Connecting as camera seems to work. When choosing MTP, I see no new device in Dolphin, nothing. Dmesg says: [ 9405.104385] usb 2-1: Product: ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T [ 9405.104389] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: asus [ 9405.104392] usb 2-1: SerialNumber: C6OKCT054995 [ 9436.664059] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device number 6 [ 9436.896074] usb 2-1: new high speed USB device number 7 using ehci_hcd [ 9437.024148] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0b05, idProduct=4c84 [ 9437.024154] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 9437.024159] usb 2-1: Product: ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T [ 9437.024162] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: asus [ 9437.024165] usb 2-1: SerialNumber: ############ According to Wikipedia, Dolphin should support MTP, but for me it does not work. :-( Does MTP (with Android devices) work for You in openSUSE (with KDE)? Do I need any special driver, ...? What do I do wrong? :-) Thank You in advance, Vojtěch -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/

[opensuse] Connect Epson Artisan 810 network printer
by George Olson 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

A friend gave me a really nice printer, an Epson Artisan 810. It connects to my wireless router and has an IP address, and that is the way he used to use it. He had a mac. My daughter connected to it easily enough with her mac. How do I connect to it in openSUSE? It has a MAC address and an IP address, but I don't know what to do about it. I cannot tell anywhere that it is connected by TCP socket, LPD protocol, or IPP protocol. All I know is that it has a wireless IP address from my router, using the same authentication as my other wireless devices, and that my daughter's macbook connected to it easily without any messing around. If I need to post any more information, please let me know what and where to get the information. I am using box #1 below. -- G.O.

[opensuse] libreoffice bug on update?
by George Olson 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hello, I was upgrading libre office using zypper patch from opensuse updates - upgraded from libre office 3.4.5.5 to 3.5.4.7 on August 1. Using openSUSE 12.1, kde 4.8.4, box #2 below. I had 2 open libre-office write documents at the time, one was being actively worked on. After completion of the upgrade and all packages were finished being downloaded and installed, I went to save the document I was working on using the ctrl-s keystroke with the intention of saving, then logging out of kde, and then logging back in in order to close the loop on open programs. When I hit the keystroke ctrl-s, the indicator bar indicated the document being saved, and then libreoffice suddenly closed by itself. I tried to re-open libreoffice write, hoping the auto-recovery feature would have saved my changes; however, nothing was saved and all my changes from the previous 20 minutes were lost. I am unable to duplicate the event, as I have already upgraded and do not have time to downgrade, set up the event a 2nd time, upgrade again, and test and see if the save feature would fail. I want to file a bug report, but I am confused about where to file it. Should this go on Novell, because it was an upgrade that came from the opensuse-updates repository? Or on bugs.kde.org? (I could not find a listing for libreoffice as a product to file a bug on there). Or do I need to file this in libreoffice's bug reporting system? -- G.O.
