[opensuse] update or upgrade?
by Andras Simon 07 Sep '12

07 Sep '12

Today I ran zypper up on 12.1 and it seemed to want to upgrade the distribution; at least it said [...] The following product is going to be upgraded: openSUSE The following packages are going to change architecture: branding-openSUSE i586 -> noarch gsettings-desktop-schemas noarch -> i586 perl-Config-Crontab i586 -> noarch perl-Parse-RecDescent noarch -> i586 xorg-x11 i586 -> noarch xorg-x11-driver-input i586 -> noarch xorg-x11-driver-video i586 -> noarch xorg-x11-util-devel i586 -> noarch 888 packages to upgrade, 311 new, 46 to remove, 8 to change arch. [...] I guess it has something to do with the release of 12.2. Is it necessary to upgrade? Is this a safe way to do it?

[opensuse] x86-64 12.2 installation failure
by Maxim Fomin 06 Sep '12

06 Sep '12

Hi. Today I tried to update system from 12.1 to 12.2 and I chose using DVD disk to be sure that it is usable for my PC (it had some hardware issues until recent kernel versions). Installation process was fine until installing packages. About 20% of them were installed with additional rpm warning like: "%post(package-name.1.0.rpm) scriptlet failed, exit status is 127 " and about 50 packages were not installed at all. After finishing this part of installation, I got error messages about absent directories. I have never ever encountered such terrific errors since moving to 10.3, that setup insistently asked to file Bugzilla issue. Before installing packages there were messages like "Deploying Image X11[1]". The last of them was "...[4]" but there was no part 2 (there were no line "Deploying Image X11[2]"). I don't know how setup works, but suggest that it was part of packages "archive" and problems came from absence of this part - by some reason it was not "extracted". So thanks in advance for following questions, 1) how could it possible that such broken version was uploaded? 2) would it be fixed? P.S. system is 64 bit, image is openSUSE-12.2-DVD-x86_64.iso, md5 checksums are same -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Exclusion on apache logs
by Carlos Xavier 05 Sep '12

05 Sep '12

Hi. I´m configuring a web cluster that will be managed by Pacemaker and ldirectord. So far I was able to configure almost all the needed things. Ldirectord will be started on the hosts 172.31.0.192 or 172.31.0.193 and the active one will be making access to a test page. What I´m looking for is to avoid those access of being logged. I found this article that says you can avoid some access log http://www.electrictoolbox.com/apache-stop-logging-internal-dummy-connectio… First of all I thought about editing the file /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/global.conf and put ther the following statements SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "172\.31\.0\.192" dontlog CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access_log combined env=!dontlog but I figured out that this file is rewrited every time apache starts, so i tryed to modfy the file /etc/sysconfig/apache2 and insert the modification there. I added/changed the lines below: SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "172\.31\.0\.192" dontlog APACHE_ACCESS_LOG="/var/log/apache2/access_log combined env=!dontlog" Unfortunately it didnt work out, the apache do not start and the only things I get is, the file /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/global.conf is changed to: # # Files in this directory are created at apache start time by /usr/sbin/rcapache2 # Do not edit them! # # see /etc/sysconfig/apache2 ServerSignature on UseCanonicalName off ServerTokens OS LogLevel warn CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access_log combined CustomLog env=!dontlog And I got this message on the log: Sep 4 21:56:06 apolo start_apache2[14200]: Syntax error on line 13 of /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/global.conf: Sep 4 21:56:06 apolo start_apache2[14200]: CustomLog takes two or three arguments, a file name, a custom log format string or format name, and an optional "env=" clause (see docs) Sep 4 21:56:06 apolo systemd[1]: apache2.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1 Sep 4 21:56:06 apolo systemd[1]: Unit apache2.service entered failed state. Please, can someone tell me how can I do this configuration on OpenSuse?

[opensuse] Mozilla products (Firefox, Thunderbird) 12.2
by Carl Fletcher 05 Sep '12

05 Sep '12

3 different machines of either 32 or 64 bit openSUSE 12.2 Final Launch of Firefox and Thunderbird very slow (10 seconds) That compares to 12.1 of (2 seconds) Once launched they are fine. Launching from a Konsole produces no feed back. A clean .mozilla makes no difference.

[opensuse] Screen saver and effects make machine sluggish
by Peter Maffter 05 Sep '12

05 Sep '12

I am using the screen saver slide show on my SuSE 12.1. KDE Version 4.8.3 (4.8.3) "release 504" There is a kind of "blend over" effect between the photos which makes my nVidia graphic card use more power than necessary. The effects look like e.g. : http://www.upload-pictures.de/bild.php/15976,problemmitbildschirmschoner121… If these effects kick in, the passwort dialog does only show up delayed and the whole machine feels sluggish. I did not find any hint in the internet or in this forum, how I can turn off these effects. I expected a button at the setup dialog of the screen saver to turn this off but there is none. It also happens if I turn "Allow widgets on screen saver" on: then immediately the screen saver kicks in, I cannot type or do anything and those squares are making the graphic card fan rocket high. I simply want to have that screen saver use as low resources as possible and no blend over effects. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] flash drive access
by Dave Smith 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

I am using openSUSE 12.1 with all updates. I have been having one small problem that I do not know if it is a bug or a configuration problem. When I insert a USB flash drive and access the files with Dolphin I cannot copy new files to the flash drive. I can access the files already on the drive without problems. If I eject the USB flash drive and then reinsert it, again opening it with Dolphin, I am then able to copy files to the flash drive. This happens no matter what USB port or flash drive that I use. This also happens if I use Midnight Commander instead of Dolphin. Can anyone help me fix this annoyance?
