[opensuse] libreoffice base csv import greyed out
by lynn 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Hi I have a csv file which imports fine into calc, but when I open by importing it into base, I cannot edit the resultant db. I cannot add records nor fields. All options are greyed out. I've tried importing it by first saving it as calc and then into base as a spreadsheet but the same result: greyed out everything. I've tried deleting my libreoffice program and other csv files. I've added the libreoffice repo to my 12.3 install and updated but still greyed out. Any ideas anyone?

[opensuse] Patch for nVidia driver 319.60?
by Basil Chupin 11 Nov '13

11 Nov '13

I've checked the Forums but don't see the answer to my question: is there a patch for the latest nVidia driver 319.60 so that it can be compiled for the 3.11.x kernel. Does anyone know, please, if such a patch exists and if so where is it to be found?

Hi all, probably i'm missing something, but can anybody tell me which package contains "perlcc" Doing a search with yast2/software ask who is providing yields nothing. neither a search of file names on the OBS...

[opensuse] GUI over ssh: is it possible?
by Ted Byers 10 Nov '13

10 Nov '13

I have a couple servers, using a KVM to have them share a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Alas, it looks like the monitor has died. I also have a workstation in which I have OpenSuse running within a virtual machine. I can ssh from that virtual machine to these servers, but I am not yet comfortable with using only a terminal to work on a computer (I did so decades ago in the days of DOS, but that was a lifetime ago, and I don't recall anything useful from that time). Is it posible to have some kind of GUI, either KDE or Gnome, that runs over ssh to let me work on those machines, at least until I can get out to get a replacement monitor? Ideally, whatever is suggested would be viable for both the Ubuntu server and the Opensuse server.

[opensuse] Kernel's set of files
by Basil Chupin 10 Nov '13

10 Nov '13

Am I correct in assuming that these files for a kernel should always be downloaded as a 'set' for any version of a kernel? And here I am taking only the kernel-desktop as my example: 1. kernel-desktop 2. kernel-desktop-development 3. kernel-development (from the no-arch repo) 4. kernel-firmware (from the no-arch repo) Reasons for my question are: * I use the ...Kernel:/stable/standard repo for my kernels and using this I updated my kernel to 3.12.0-1 this morning but this did not update the file kernel-firmware even though a later version is showing in YaST; * Patrick mentioned that Tumbleweed is using kernel 3.12.0-34.2 - which I just downloaded. But before installing it I wanted to make sure that I need all of the 4 files I mention above so as not to zonk my 13.1 RC2. Thanks for advice.

Maybe they will fix it if it is. Probably been a long > time since those 2 things were tested. Just as a followup, sometime between 8.2 and 12.3 yacc and bison were combined into a single package. The bison -y option was supposed to make bison yacc compatible. And calling yacc was the same as calling bison with the -y option. But Not OLD yacc compatible. Fortunately the original yacc package from 8.2 is now found in the byacc package in 12.3. I'm happy SuSE included byacc in 12.3 and hope they continue to do so. My original problem is solved by using byacc instead of bison/yacc.
