[opensuse] opensuse-13.1
by CA G Rajesh 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hi All, First, let me confess that I am a distro-hopper (but, I hop between Kubuntu and Opensuse only). Reason for hopping? Please read below - I installed opensuse-13.1 immediately on its release and I am using till for a week. The quality of the packages and its theme are simply astounding. I still love OpenSuse (OS)very much, ever since I started using in 2000 (6.3 then). Main problem I am facing recently is, sharing of printer between three systems. This could have been out of box (I mean, just selecting share connected printers in systemsettings should do). No amount of my tweaking (from googling) helped, even shutting down the firewall or providing static IPs to systems. Here, I cannot help but to resort to Kubuntu, where either everything works out of box or requires minimal/intuitive intervention. Opensuse works fine in my/single system, but once sharing in SOHO comes, I could not handle it. This seems to be the last impediment that prevents me from migrating whole home/office to favorite/lovable opensuse :( Perhaps, Opensuse is intended for mature users (I read somewhere so) but developers/experts may consider doing this favor for non-technical users like us. Thanks for your patient reading. Regards, Rajesh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Email archive solution?
by rm＠crescentconstruction.com 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

openSuse list, I've used openSuse for about 10 years, (currently using 12.3 64 bit.) For most of that time I've used Evolution as my primary email client. I've managed to organize and save a sizable amount of email using the Evolution folder system, but its getting to be a large amount of data (about 10 gigs); and I was wondering if there was a better method to archive the emails. I'm talking about a single email address, so I don't really need a massive enterprise email archive system - just looking for something that can store and search mbox files by date, subject, or sender. I've looked at "Enkive", and "piler" either of which may work, if anyone has any other suggestions it would be appreciated. thanks, Regis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] logs filling up with collectd trying to update time ???
by Linda Walsh 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

After updating a bunch of packages to 13.1, I noted (somewhat later), that some of my logs were filling up with messages like: Nov 25 13:35:09 Ishtar collectd[2642]: rrdtool plugin: rrd_update_r (WebYaST/df-root/df_complex-reserved.rrd) failed: WebYaST/df-root/df_complex-reserved.rrd: illegal attempt to update using time 1385415309 when last update time is 1385415309 (minimum one second step) ---- My immediate solution -- turn off collectd... But that sorta misses the point. Any one seen messages like this and how do I access the data that's been collected? I don't see what port I might connect to for WebYast related stuff? Seems like it is storing the info as a webyast report? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] I'm stumped! : 13.1 + WLAN + laptop
by Basil Chupin 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Last night I installed 13.1 on my (new) laptop and I was able to use the WLAN for several hours downloading the upgrades to 13.1, as well as browsing the 'net. However, this morning I have no WLAN connection :-( . I am stumped as to why WLAN disappeared, and I don't know what to check and where (although I did check Network in YaST - but don't know what should appear there anyway). Can anyone please provide a suggestion or two as to where I should look to get WLAN working again? The WLAN is an Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300.

But I can do it by sending from external device to an Ubuntu virtual machine running in same openSUSE 12.3, that is the oddity: it seems something is wrong in openSUSE.

[opensuse] small enhancement to yast/repo management
by jdd 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Hello, having just installer a lot of new openSUSE, I notice that it's nearly mandatory to install packman. It's not that easy for a bare (openSUSE) beginner. now one have to go to repo management, community repos and get a lot of options... most user never go through this more than once, given the 1 click install and yast. so I beg it could be more efficient to give some less steps, a bit like selecting the windows managers: when one go to repo management, he should be in front of a windows with (title) Most used Community repos: x add packman x add libdvdcss (title)build service repos * build... * build... (link) Other way to select repos what do you think? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE crashes
by A. den Oudsten 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

I installed 13.1 with an iso DVD on my Acer e-machine. The next time I started up and at the moment when the KDE icon appeared and was still unsharp all blocked, leaving diagonal line at the screen. This also occurred when I started the second time with a KDE-live disk. Suggestion how to solve this will be very appreciated!

by Claudio ML 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Hello all, I have upgraded my 12.3 test machine to 13.1, with the zypper dup method. The upgrade completed successiful, but, after the first reboot, i have the eth0 network device renamed to ens3. Strangely, also i have noticied the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules is empty.
