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

[opensuse] Follow-up on earlier swap issue

by Roger Oberholtzer

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.
