[opensuse] Android print solution?
by David C. Rankin 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Guys, With the iphone we were able to configure good print function via CUPS/Avahi, is there anything similar that can be done with an Android tablet? Looking, it doesn't appear that there is any basic print capability provided by Android (3.2 Honeycomb). I would like to print to by openSuSE server in the same manner I do from iOS. Anybody found a good solution? I have found PrintBot, but that isn't a solution because it cannot be used legally where confidentiality is required. (data is transferred to a 3rd party server before printing). I need to find a direct print solution. What says the braintrust? -- David C.

[opensuse] tracker-miner-fs and the gnome-panel-applet-tracker
by George Olson 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

I have found that I have tracker-miner-fs running, and often at startup it hogs the cpu for a little while. I found this thread in the forums which was interesting, basically the same problem. http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/459… The solution given at the end of the thread is, "If you have the gnome-panel-applet-tracker installed, you can disable it, just write "Tracker" in the box that you'll find when you click on the Suse button." I do have the gnome-panel-applet-tracker installed, as I found by rpm-qa | grep tracker, but how do you actually open and run this panel-applet so that you can find the Suse button and disable tracker? I also saw in my rpm qa that firefox and thundrbird use the tracker-miner. Will disabling it affect firefox and thunderbird? -- G.O.

Hello: I wanted to give a try to LibreOffice 3.6. There is an openSUSE repo for it with .repo file and repodata files but no packages. Is it on purpose or only an error?

[opensuse] NTP, KDE 4.9,and NetworkManager on 12.2
by Roger Oberholtzer 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

On openSUSE 12.1 with KDE 4.9 (same with 4.8 and earlier) when I start my network via NetworkManager (wired or wireless), NTP seems not quite right. I is runnuig. But it does not set the time right unless I restart it. It has been this way for a while (months). Here is a sample of what I mean: # rcntp status redirecting to systemctl ntp.service - LSB: Network time protocol daemon (ntpd) Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/ntp) Active: inactive (dead) since Fri, 31 Aug 2012 21:13:26 +0200; 4h 39min ago Process: 2309 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/ntp stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 1274 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/ntp start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/ntp.service # date Sat Sep 1 01:52:46 CEST 2012 # rcntp restart redirecting to systemctl # date Fri Aug 31 23:53:46 CEST 2012 The final date after the restart is correct.

[opensuse] No wifi on Dell Inspiron mini
by Oszkó Albert 02 Sep '12

02 Sep '12

Hi all, I borrowed a Dell Inspiron Mini netbook for next week. I managed to install oS 12.1 with KDE from an USB stick. There are some problems however, the most severe is the lack of wifi. I cannot config the touchpad, apparantly the oS does not recognize it as a laptop. Did anyone out there succeded with those things? Is there any experience with that netbook and other distros?

[opensuse] Separate /usr?
by Robin Klitscher 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

For many years I've been running successive versions of openSUSE with a /usr partition separate from the root partition /. But I see that the Fedora manuals insist that the practice of separating these two filesystems can lead to dire results. I note, too, that there was a problem with this in the early drops oS 12.2 Is there a problem here, or a potential problem, in openSUSE? Or can I continue to separate these two filesystems with confidence? -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
