[opensuse] Viber on opensuse
by ianseeks 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

hi I've just noticed Viber is available for Linux desktop but they only have a ".deb" install as they've only tested on ubuntu/mint/zorin. Anyone know if this can be successfully installed on opensuse as a ".deb" or does anyone know if its going to be "ported" to rpm format? regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Backing Up Via rsync
by SuSE List 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

I am currently backing up my OSE12.3 to an external SAS hard drive using this rsync command: /usr/bin/rsync -avWHu --delete --exclude-from=/root/rsync.excludes / /external/ose3/ where /root/rsync.excludes currently contains: /external /lost+found /media /mnt /proc /sys /var/lib/ntp/proc Are there additional entries I should be excluding such as /run, /var/run, /var/spool, etc? I want to be able to restore the system from the backup, possibly using Relax and Recover (which did a fantastic job of restoring a Liinux VM at work using NetBackup).

[opensuse] ntp question
by Christopher Myers 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Hi everyone! I have a not-at-all-important-but-im-curious question about NTP on SuSE. In order to keep the time on my openSuSE server at home sync'd, I use the ntpdate command: /usr/sbin/ntpdate ntp.illinois.edu However, when I want to force a timesync on my SLES servers at work, trying to use that command throws complaints as if I was just about to drive off a bridge: !!!!!!!!!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ntpdate program is deprecated and should not be used any more. To quote the upstream ntp developers: "The functionality ntpdate offered is now provided by the ntpd daemon itself. If you call ntpd with the command line option -q it will retrieve the current time and set it accordingly." Please check the Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon man page and http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Dev/DeprecatingNtpdate for further information. You can replace the ntpdate call with "rcntp ntptimeset" to achieve an inital poll of the servers specified in /etc/ntp.conf. The program /usr/sbin/sntp offers comparable functionality to ntpdate. Specifically sntp -P no -r pool.ntp.org is equivalent to ntpdate pool.ntp.org For further details please refer to the man page of sntp. But if I try to use that sntp command on an oS box, including 13.1, it doesn't know what in the world I'm trying to do: sntp: illegal option -- P sntp - standard Simple Network Time Protocol program - Ver. 4.2.6p5 USAGE: sntp [ -<flag> [<val>] | --<name>[{=| }<val>] ]... \ [ hostname-or-IP ...] My question is - if ntpdate is so depreciated that SLES11 won't even touch it, why does openSuSE still use it instead of sntp?

[opensuse] Window Drag lags several inches behind cursor till reboot
by John Andersen 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

For some time I've been using the latest Xorg builds repository on Opensuse in order to get the capability of using desktop effects on my older AMD Radeon laptop. This repository makes it possible to run with most of the bling turned on, something I had previously not been able to do with anything but the proprietary AMD drivers (which won't build anymore since the lase couple years). Anyway, after any software update that includes updates to Xorg, my system (OS 12.3, KDE 4.11.4 Radeon x1400 series) will lag severely when I drag a window with the mouse. Several inches behind the pointer! Pressing Ctrl-P to kill the bling cures this problem of course, by turning off desktop effects. I logout, restarting X, run zypper ps to make sure no updated modules are still running old versions. No processes are using deleted files. Yet, When I log back in again, I find the problem persists, and there is sever lag with the bling turned on. I have to shutdown (all the way to power off) and reboot to get the desktop effects to run smoothly. (Shades of Windows...) The problem will survive a restart. I have to power OFF. Totally OFF. Why is this necessary, and where is the proper place to file such a bug report? Is Xorg failing to initialize or utilize the GPU unless I power off? -- Explain again the part about rm -rf / -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] owncloud update recommends/installs libreoffice, why?
by fishdude 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Hi, todays owncloud update from using: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/community/openSUSE… tries to install complete libreoffice. Why is that needed? Running "zypper info --recommends owncloud" lists libreoffice. I run that on a server (as probably most people do) and do not want an office suite hanging around there. How can I prevent libreoffice from getting installed. Thanks, <°)>>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Nautilus has not maximize minimize just closing button
by Marco Calistri 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Hello, As the subject suggest, I wonder why Nautilus version: GNOME nautilus 3.10.1 has just the X button (closing) available on its window. Are there configuration settings to add minimize/maximize button as well? Thanks!

Likely this is happening too, but not the primary problem here. Carlos: not btrfs. MC would explain differences, but not necessarily the rsync behavior absent understanding what Linda explained. Michael: no idea why you brought up sparse. The filesystem's sparse files are mostly small. The largest mass of files by number and size are compressed. AFAICT, sparse is about transfer speed, not ultimate space consumption. Andrey: probably only one 1k hard linked file on that filesystem. Nearly nil soft links too. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse] 13.1/GNOME 3.10 - how to disable screen lock on resume?
by Andrey Borzenkov 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

I do not need it. This is single user notebook staying at home all the time. Swipe up gesture is awkward to perform using small touchpad I have and requires two hands. Screen lock is already disabled everywhere I could find - but it still pops up on resume. Of course it was correctly disabled before in 12.3 ... but who cares? That's usability improvement in 3.10 as I read ... I give up. I spent half a day trying to make the most user friendly desktop environment to behave the way *I* want it. No way. I was rather amused to find all those google references about great improvements in new 3.10 while searching for answer ... Not wanting to start a rant, but before I also found that GNOME developers assume everyone *MUST* want to have two-finger tap acting as right click. I had been using it as middle click for years ... no way - it is not even configurable via obscure undocumented key - it is hardcoded. The only way to "fix" it is to stop using GNOME to configure mouse ... So just feeling frustrated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
