[opensuse] puzzled by rsync
by Felix Miata 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

source & target have same filesystem size, block size, filesystem type OS 11.4 running on both # rsync -av --delete --stats --progress --exclude 'lost+found' source/ target Rsync halted because the target reached 100% full, even though the source was about 95% full at the start. I reduced source consumption to 85%, deleted some files on target to drop consumption to 90%, then reran rsync. At the end, source remained 85%, while target is at 94%. What's going on? Is my syntax not doing what I expect (mirroring)? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse] shortcuts ".desktop" visible
by jdd 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Hello, on my brand new 13.1, kde, folder "desktop", I only have shortcuts to applications right now, on all of them, the extension ".desktop" is displayed under the icon. AFAIR, usually it was not the case, any option? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] dolphin toolhelp?
by Per Jessen 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

I feel I've asked this one before, but I can't find the answer - how do I enable toolhelp in dolphin? You know, hover over a file, and a pop-up window displays a thumbnail plus a collection of infos. People here really miss that feature for graphics, office docs and pdfs. It must be hiding somewhere ? /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.2°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

Cool, I guess that must be new; I brought up a new 13.1 VM and see that YaST now also allows a synchronization interval, which is cool.

[opensuse] Okular upgrade necessary?
by Per Jessen 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

I'm just filling in a PDF form, and thought I would try it with Okular (given the recent deprecation of acroread). I'm on openSUSE 12.3, and Okular complains about unsupported XFA forms. I guess I need an upgrade or?

[opensuse] How-to re-partition /home/ on a live running system (home can be scrapped, is close to empty)?
by cagsm 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

How-to re-partition /home/ on a live running system (home can be scrapped, is close to empty)? Good day fellow enlisted ones. some machine set-up went bad and now there is a huge separate /home/ partition but the machine would need rather a big single partition or at least much more space for / (root) I cannot really instruct non-knowledgeable users to take the whole machine off-line and then use some partitioning distro (gparted?) from usb device and repartition the stuff, thats why I am asking for help on how to do it live and while on-line. Presently I can ssh to the machine as a local user (not root yet) , and the actual /home/ content is close to empty. I could probably copy /home/ over to (root)/hometemp/ and then maybe ssh into the box as root so that it wouldn't need the files from /home/ for the ssh and bash/shell parts, and the unount /home/ and then delete the /home/ partition (fdisk?) and then extend (how?) the / partition? And then just rename the (root)/hometemp to home and it would be done, right? I am not doing these partitioning things that often and mostly rather during setup from installer and Yast in the OpenSuSE components. Any help with this? Thank you in advance.

[opensuse] SuSE-13.1 and older kernels - no go
by Mark Hounschell 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

I have a need to run a 3.4.x flavor kernel on a 13.1 box. No problem on 12.3 but on 13.1 the same kernel faults immediately. I haven't put a serial console on to see the oops message but is there any reason it "shouldn't" work?

Hello, may be seems minor, but why are the card decks of "kpat" (kde4 patience card game), so few now, and specially why is the "paris", best deck ever no more available?
