[opensuse] Receive System Mails
by CA G Rajesh 24 Dec '13

24 Dec '13

Hi, I have enabled the option to receive system mails. Previously, I remember, it was possible to receive apparmor violations/logs through system mails. Now, I find there is no option to set it up (or am I missing it?). I do not receive any mails now. Does this mean there is no violations ;) or I am not receiving it (no proper setting)? Can you help me, please? Thanks in advance. Regards, Rajesh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problem mounting WD My Book external HD
by Stephen Berman 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

I'm on openSUSE 13.1. I have a 3TB Western Digital My Book external hard disk and it does not get automatically mounted, nor recognzed at all by the device notifier. When I plug it in, /var/log/messages gives the attached output, which indicates that the kernel recognizes the disk but systemd-udevd worker hits a timeout and gets killed. I found references online to such a timeout with other devices but could not find a solution to my problem. I am, however, able to mount the My Book manually as root: # mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/1 The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). The file system wasn't safely closed on Windows. Fixing. An online search suggests these messages are because the hard disk is NTFS formatted. AFAICT the disk is successfully mounted and readable; I haven't yet tried writing to it. Does anyone know if and how I can get this external hard disk to mount automatically and not just as root? Steve Berman

[opensuse] YaST DSL module on openSUSE 13.1
by Rui Santos 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hi all, I've been trying to add a new ADSL connection through YaST DSL module. The connection however does not even in DSL module itself, let alone perform the actual PPPoE connection. Is anyone experiencing any problem related to this ? It is a clean openSUSE 13.1 i586 install.

[opensuse] How to customize gtk application's window style in oS 12.2?
by Istvan Gabor 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

Hello: I have openSUSE 12.2 with KDE3 desktop. I would like to customize the look of gtk applications: color, font, background, etc. Earlier I used gnome-control-center for that (where I could also choose themes) but now I can't see any options for managing styles. How to do it? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] /usr/sbin/bluetoothd
by ianseeks 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

HI Does anyone know how this gets started? I've deconfigured it from System Settings/Startup and Shutdown and its not loaded via Yast/System Services Run Level. Mind you "Yast/System Services Run Level" seems to be in a bit of a flakey state on 12.3, i can't select a run level, the drop down to choose 1-5 is blank. regards ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 13.1 GNOME: leftover gnome-shell at 100% CPU after logout
by Andrey Borzenkov 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

Using GNOME with gdm. Quite often (if not every time) after logging out of session and logging back in I observe gnome-shell process that spins at 100% CPU (at least on one core). It is not my current gnome-shell which I can restart without changing anything. Killing this runaway process clears things. Anyone else? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Why do opensuse.org, susepaste.org & opensuse.com require js from so many remote sites?
by David C. Rankin 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

All, Trying to follow links from this list, e.g.: https://lizards.opensuse.org/2013/12/17/announcing-opensuse-education-li-f-… http://susepaste.org/65639042 as well as for community, etc.. I am continually asked to allow remote javascript to run from sites like newrelic.com virtio.cz ohloh.net which try to in various ways insert javascript snippets into Firefox for real user monitoring, etc. See eg.: https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/features/real-user-monitoring While I understand most of this is performance monitoring related, the javascript request for remote sites involved in the login process concern me. Is there no way that this can be done in-house, instead of having 3rd party sites around the world involved? Here is a short list (screenshot) of those recently blocked poking around the suse sites: [32k] http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/img/ss/opensuse/suse.blocked.js.jpg -- David C.

Cool, thanks :) That makes it much easier :) I guess my Googling on the subject wasn't refined enough to find that Wiki page :)) Thanks again! Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
