[opensuse] 13.1 Unable to fix/set monitor resolution
by Muccaneer von München 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hi all, I just did a fresh install of 13.1 but I am stuck in a display resolution of 800x600. My screen has originally 2560x1600. I am running a Nvidia GS7600 card with the nouveau driver. Where can I change the screen resolution ? Thank you! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Error adding 13.1 ISO to repository
by James Knott 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

As is my custom, I add the distro image as a local repository, instead of relying on the DVD or online repository. However, when I try to add the 13.1 64 bit ISO file, I get an error message: "File '/local/openSUSE-13.1-DVD-x86_64.iso' does not seem to be an ISO image. I can tell it to add the image and it seems to be OK, though I haven't tried using it yet. This file was used to create the DVD I installed from and passes the md5sum check. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Network install not available?
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hi, OK, A fairly rough statement to make but the newest version of OpenSuse, and I believe its previous versions, did not have a TRUE network installation option. WITHOUT any additional software management i.e. to create a Live USB or DVD, and also not having a master host server to retrieve from, how can a network install truly be done? I would certainly download a file and execute it on my operating system that simply pointed me to a server from which I could then download the entire distribution. A file should be made available that once downloaded, would start the installation process of 13.1. It does not matter what OS I am coming from, only that the file I download is compatible enough with my current OS so that I can install 13.1. I am putting this out into the community as there will come a time where USB drives and CD/DVD's are no longer available to be used on a laptop, as it has a network connection. How does a person with no optical drive and no USB port with a single laptop install openSuse? Just a thought Should I perhaps raise it on Bugzilla?

[opensuse] OS 13.1 very long shutdown with cifs share mounted
by JC Francois 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

(This may be a duplicate of a message I sent a few hours ago but fails to appear on the mailing list) I just installed openSUSE 13.1 with no major problem. However the shutdown process takes ~2-3 minutes. I identified that the problem is related to a cifs share that I mount in fstab with the following line: //server/storage /mnt/storage cifs auto,username=user,password=pass,uid=jeancf,gid=users,file_mode=0664,dir_mode=0775,iocharset=utf8,rw 0 0 Without this line in fstab the shutdown takes ~5 seconds. My hunch is that the network is disconnected before the share is unmounted and therefore unmount has to time out before shutdown can continue. But I do not know how to verify / fix this problem. Please help. /~JC -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Duplicate mail in kmail
by Eddie 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

It has been quite a while now since this problem existed, possibly over a year. Am I the only one who gets two copies of almost every email received? I remember a suggest about turning off the automatic filtering or something like that which seems to make no sense to me. Why have a product that only works reasonably after you've disable some of its main functions? Anyway, my real question is, are other kmail users experiencing the same and has a proper fix been produced or only a workaround. I've just updated to openSUSE 13.1 and for me at least the problem still exists. The version of KBE is 4.11.2 and kmail 4.11.2 Thanks Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] update mess
by Fr David Ousley 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

While attempting to update 12.1 to 12.3, I've gotten into a situation where I can no longer boot. To describe where I am now: Grub menu shows 12.3 (Windows has been lost, but I'm not really concerned about that). If I try to boot this, it returns "Error 22: partition not found." I assume this refers to the location for root, specified in the boot line for the kernel? I know that that partition is still on the disk and readable, since I have checked from the rescue function on the installation disk. The grub boot line is (assuming I have retyped it correctly): kernel (hd0,4)/vmlinuz-3.7.10-1.1-desktop root=/dev/disk/by-id/raid/pdc_djiegecc_part7 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/raid/pdc_djiegecc_part6 splash=silent quiet showopts Brief history: I initially attempted an upgrade, but ran into space problems in the /boot partition. So I went for a clean install. It failed to format the /boot, /root and /swap partitions, for reasons I cannot tell. I can provides details, if someone will advise me what is relevant. I'm no expert, though I've been running Opensuse since 9.1 (unix end-user before that), and thus can do some command line stuff. Upgrades and installations have always gone smoothly before.

[opensuse] anyone use leechcraft?
by Linda Walsh 26 Nov '13

It was something that worked w/o a hitch in last release... Now, w/upgrade, I get this: > leechcraft QTranslator* LeechCraft::Util::InstallTranslator(const QString&, const QString&, const QString&) could not load translation file for locale "en_US" "qt_en_US" Segmentation fault or this: > leechcraft --safe-mode QTranslator* LeechCraft::Util::InstallTranslator(const QString&, const QString&, const QString&) could not load translation file for locale "C" "qt_C" Segmentation fault (core dumped) Tried a traceback but got python stuff: > gdb /usr/bin/leechcraft core Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site.py", line 553, in <module> main() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site.py", line 535, in main known_paths = addusersitepackages(known_paths) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site.py", line 266, in addusersitepackages user_site = getusersitepackages() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site.py", line 241, in getusersitepackages user_base = getuserbase() # this will also set USER_BASE File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site.py", line 231, in getuserbase USER_BASE = get_config_var('userbase') File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/sysconfig.py", line 516, in get_config_var return get_config_vars().get(name) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/sysconfig.py", line 449, in get_config_vars import re File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/re.py", line 105, in <module> import sre_compile File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/sre_compile.py", line 14, in <module> import sre_parse File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/sre_parse.py", line 17, in <module> from sre_constants import * File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/sre_constants.py", line 18, in <module> from _sre import MAXREPEAT ImportError: cannot import name MAXREPEAT The python files all verify (rpm -V) as being up-to-date and having all dependencies satisfied.... So I've no idea how to proceed... MAXREPEAT? Could that be caused by it being unable to find the translation files (it needs translation files for 'C' locale?)? A core dump seems a rather extreme response for not finding 'C' translation files (or en_US, earlier)... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
