[opensuse] Empty LibreOffice 3.6 repo
by Istvan Gabor 09 Sep '12

09 Sep '12

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. Have I missed doing something? -- -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kmix using 96-100% of cpu
by Robert Rawlinson 02 Sep '12

Has anyone else run into this? When I start up in the morning it starts kmix which then drives cpu to 96-100% making slow going. Bob R -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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? Thanks for any help: Albert Oszkó -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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

[opensuse] DCF77, USB <-> parallel adapter, any solution?
by Peter Maffter 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

I was using a DCF77 Dongle on the parallel port on my older machine and got the DCF77 time information in Europe. This worked quite fine most of the time. My new machine has no parallel port. I tried several USB <-> Parallel adapters (like the DeLock USB910) but they all failed. Some people posted on the net that these are only printer adapters. Are there any USB <-> Parallel adapters that work with dongles, non printer devices like the Conrad DCF77 ( see http://man.sourcentral.org/SUSE101/4+pcfclock , picture: http://www.linum.com/typo3temp/GB/499b753382.jpg?file=uploads%2Fpics%2Ffunk… ) Any other solutions that have DCF77 or GPS time receiving functionality even if the machine is turned off?

[opensuse] multi-boot with XP, Win7, SuSE 12.1 and dealing with EFI
by Damon Register 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

Up until this point, I know how to install SuSE along with older versions of Windows such as NT4 or XP. Now I am trying to setup a new HP PC with XP, Win7 and SuSE 12.1. When I get to the SuSE part, I am running into trouble with the partition setup. I started out with using gparted to create a primary partion for Win7, XP and a small boot partition for SuSE. For the remainder of the drive I created an extended partition where I have the linux swap and xfs partition for SuSE to use as / Now suddenly I am thrown into a new world that I know very little about. The SuSE install squawked about an efi problem with the boot partition I made (it said it had to be a FAT). I changed it to FAT and now I get a squawk about a GPT label. I have been trying to do some reading on this but am having trouble getting the big picture of efi and gpt and what they mean to my situation. I think that if I understood it well enough, I could probably figure out what to do myself. Is there anyone who understand this well enough to help me understand this? I have XP32, Win7 64 and SuSE 12.1 64. Damon Regi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
