[opensuse] Seriously thinking to switch to LinuxMint 15
by Marco Calistri 03 Nov '13

03 Nov '13

Hi, Sad to write this but I'm seriously thinking to migrate my openSUSE system toward Linux Mint 15. I installed Mint 15 as VirtualBox guest and it looks really superb with very crisp desktop and fonts and furthermore is working flawlessly! On the contrary I installed openSUSE 13.1 RC1 as well as VirtualBox guest but are still present some problems with Bluetooth and with Screen identification despite I installed Guest Additions. Ok RC1 is not the final version but sincerely I was expecting a better behaviour by openSUSE! Please tell me that I am wrong.

[opensuse] Is it possible to get a {compressed} list of all packages on the opensuse build service
by doiggl＠velocitynet.com.au 02 Nov '13

02 Nov '13

Hello Is it possible to get a {compressed} list of all packages on the opensuse build service using osc or similar ? Can all the packages across openSUSE Build Service be listed. I know this is a long..long list and it would change daily. - Can gzip 9 or similar be use to compress list before viewing list to save space/time - What commands are used to generate/get the listing ? Thanks Glenn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] starting lvm at boot-up ?
by Per Jessen 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

I have a newly installed 12.3 system. Yesterday I attached a disk-array to it, with a number of existing logical volumes. On boot-up, they weren't activated, apparently due to /etc/init.d/boot/lvm not being called. I ran 'insserv boot.lvm' which solved the problem, but I am wondering how that would/should normally be done? Also a little odd - I have a slightly older system which also uses LVM. Here I have presumably enabled boot.lvm a while ago, but: # find /etc/init.d -iname \*lvm\* /etc/init.d/boot.d/K05boot.lvm /etc/init.d/boot.d/S09boot.lvm /etc/init.d/boot.lvm On my new system: # find /etc/init.d -iname \*lvm\* /etc/init.d/boot.d/K50boot.lvm /etc/init.d/boot.d/S50boot.lvm /etc/init.d/boot.lvm In fact, everything in boot.d has priority 50 - why is that?? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Follow-up on earlier swap issue
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

Back in the spring I reported a problem where an application would periodically not get to run when it was generating lots of data headed to an XFS file system. The good folk on this list helped me implement a work around that saved the day. (Gotta love this list!) I saw a reference in the oS 13.1 release info to a kernel improvement that sounds like it is addressing my very problem. http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=7… I hope I get a chance to test this to see if it effects my problem. I just posted this FYI. -- Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST / Systems Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer(a)ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] "Find my mouse pointer" feature
by Christopher Myers 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

Random question for everyone - On my old laptop at work, oS 11.4 had a "find my mouse pointer" feature where you could shake your mouse, and it would draw concentric circles around the pointer. Alas, I can't seem to find that feature in 12.3 on KDE :/ There is an option you can enable where you hit a key combination to do something similar, but it's not nearly as handy since you have to move your hands from where they are to hit that key combo. Finding your mouse pointer may not seem like a big deal, but I've got three 1920x1080 displays set up, one of them vertically, so sometimes the mouse can get lost for a little bit :P Anyone know how to get the old "shaker" feature back? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
