Both my laptop, Lenovo T520, with OpenSuSE 12.2 and my wife's laptop, Dell XPS M1330N, with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS have problems with multiple clicks. A single click may do a double click action. I double click a desktop icon and two to four instances of the application start. A year or two ago, neither of these laptops had this problem. It is particularly bad in VirtualBox running Windows 7 and Quicken. Is anyone else seeing this? Have you found a solution?

[opensuse] restarting X server on vt7 in openSUSE 12.2 with systemd

by Istvan Gabor

Hello: Frequently my openSUSE 12.2 starts the graphical screen on vt7 (instead of vt8). In a previous messages, Patrick Shanahan wrote: From: Patrick Shanahan <paka@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 16:07:43 -0400 Message-id: <20130911200743.GR10833(a)wahoo.no-ip.org> a quick return from vt8 to vt7 is: systemctrl restart xdm.service or rcxdm restart see: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2013-09/msg00230.html Unfortunately the above does not work for me. (Yes, I corrected the typo, and wrote "systemctl restart xdm.service".) Desktop0 stays on vt8. vt7 is blank, with a blinking underscore at top left corner. I have 2 questions: 1. How can I switch to vt7 using command line in vt1-6? 2. How can I have my system to start the graphical window always on vt7 at boot? (As it was in all previous openSUSE versions).

[opensuse] parallel on top of top?

by Istvan Gabor

Hello: Recently I see a process called parallel at the very top of top command results window. It uses more CPU than Xorg, my web browser, and everything else. PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1603 lp 20 0 40348 1656 1188 S 2.3 0.0 2:07.53 parallel What is parallel? The user who runs it is lp. Is it the parallel port? But why is it using the most CPU, when I haven't used anything using lp port? This is on openSUSE 12.2.

First request is to please don't top post as someone points it out of etiquette and you know that, I believe. Second thing which I want to make you clear is that I read mails here and from those mails, I learn -- ok not all but at least more than zero. So you should not say like that. Thirdly, when the topic was on the mailing lists, I preferred the response there itself unless explicitly at one reason exists. Fourth, every user who uses free, can know and learn and asks the things. Fifth, I know openSUSE is a good distro and that's why wanted to know its usage. -- Linux 3.7.10-1.16-desktop || openSUSE 12.3 (Dartmouth) (i586) KDE 4.10.5 "release 1" || Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU E5200 @ 2.50GHz https://forums.opensuse.org/members/happy21.html irc: linuxearth, happy21 Bharat || India ||A seed hidden in the heart of an apple is an orchard invisible.

[opensuse] Removing one package leads to 244Mb more being used ??

Overall download size: 70.8 MiB. After the operation, additional 244.2 MiB will be used. Why on earth are all these packages being _installed_ when I'm trying to _remove_ one (which I wrongly installed earlier this morning) ? In particular, a package such as 'acroread' make little sense, as this box has at most a text-only console. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.6°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] Seriously thinking to switch to LinuxMint 15

by Marco Calistri

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

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 ?

[opensuse] starting lvm at boot-up ?

by Per Jessen

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
