[opensuse] 13.1: gvim broken
by Rich Coe 01 Jan '14

01 Jan '14

I just upgraded to opensuse 13.1. I haven't noticed any problems except with gvim. When you type in gvim or cursor over any character or redraw the screen with control-L the text disappears. If I move the mouse out of the window, the window redraws ok, until I start typing in the windows again. I don't know specifically if it's a vim problem, I'm only noticing a problem with gvim, not any other programs. Any ideas on how to fix this issue? -- Rich Coe rcoe(a)wi.rr.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Dependency Nightmare!
by Basil Chupin 01 Jan '14

01 Jan '14

I recall mentioning not too long ago about the dependency errors which keep coming up in 13.1 - but I don't remember in which list I mentioned it nor do I remember what the answer (if any) was. I raise the issue again because I just cannot fathom what the heck I am supposed to do to resolve these dependency problems which YaST keeps spitting out at me. I am trying to get VLC to play not only Blu-ray files but now I found out that it won't even play files downloaded from YouTube. All files are playable in 12.3 but NOT in 13.1 - and I cannot figure out why. Below is a list of the repositories which I have in my 13.1 installation (on a Desktop): http://susepaste.org/78522541 and here is a list of the dependency errors which YaST so graciously shows me (but doesn't tell me which option to choose): http://susepaste.org/44273137 Can anyone, please, tell me which options I should choose to rid myself of these dependency hassles? (BTW, running zypper shows me that many files "will not be updated" which appear to be ones which are shown in the YaST list above.)

[opensuse] stop and start x-server from console
by Istvan Gabor 31 Dec '13

31 Dec '13

Hello: As the subject says: I would like to stop and start x-server from a console window, eg vt1. Similar to what I could do in openSUSE 11.2 using init 3 init 5 commands. I have openSUSE 12.2 with kdm3 display manager. I tried so far: init 3; init 5 systemctl stop xdm.service systemctl restart.xdm.service of which none worked. ??

Tried to get the machine down gracefully, but it seems that xend is affected also, as the "xm" command didnot return something readable. Only option was the hard "single sign off" (aka pulling the power-plug) Any sound suggestions anyone can give before i try to switch it on again?

[opensuse] Version change on one repo but not others
by Dylan 30 Dec '13

30 Dec '13

Hi all, One of the friends I support with oS has accidentally added the standard 13.1 repository to his 12.3 system. I think he inadvertently chose a 13.1 version of a package to install via the "one-click" method and that added the repo. While the system is basically usable (for web browsing etc) the 2d and 3d art software he uses has some problems. I have changed the nvidia repo to the 13.1 version which has sorted out most of the problems, however some remain (he is getting poor performance and occasional out of memory errors.) We were intending to upgrade to 13.1 in January anyway, so if I simply change the remaining repos to their 13.1 versions and perform a zypper dup (or yast equivalent...) should I expect to end up with a 'properly' updated system? Or would it be better, given that a half-upgrade has already happened, to start from scratch? Also, should I consider it a bug that "one click install" allowed a repo from a different version to be added (did he blithely confirm a version change without the necessary thought)?

Hello, OpenSuSe 13.1 I want to create a directory in /var/run - say, /var/run/sm-client/. After a reboot, this directory is no longer there. What thingy is removing it and how may I have control over my own machine again?

[opensuse] 13.1 + vlc + Blu-ray
by Basil Chupin 30 Dec '13

30 Dec '13

Has anyone successfully tamed vlc in 13.1 to be able to view a Blu-ray file(mt2)? I specifically mention a 'file' because vlc in oS will not play a Bd disc (vlc in Windows([8) will [#]) but vlc will play either a Bd movie if you open a Directory (and it then searches for the mt2 file to play) or select a specific mt2 file to play ---- BUT this happens in 12.3 and NOT in 13.1, hence my question above. As far as I can see I have all the necessary rpms installed for vlc to play an mt2 file but I keep getting the error message that vlc is unable to play an h264 file and that "there is nothing I can about it." But I can play the same Bd disc in oS 12.3 - so what has been done in 13.1 to make vlc stop playing Bd? Suggestions gratefully accepted as I am hate having to reboot into 12.3 from 13.1 when I want to watch a Bd disc.

[opensuse] Google Cloud Print - a work in progress (on my end)
by Greg Freemyer 29 Dec '13

29 Dec '13

I'm trying to create a package (RPM) in OBS for Google Cloud Print. It sort of works now, but the setup is not yet very reliable / repeatable. This may be as good as it gets for short term. A wiki page documenting this would make it usable. I've gone so far as to create a RPM in OBS, but it takes more manual steps than it should at this point. ============== If anyone wants to use it / help troubleshoot, this should work (all as root or with sudo in front). zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:gregfreemyer:Tools-for-foren… zypper refresh zypper install CUPS-Cloud-Print /usr/lib/cloudprint-cups/upgrade.py /usr/lib/cloudprint-cups/setupcloudprint.py upgrade.py should be automatically invoked by the RPM, but it is failing for me if I try to do that. The last step is interactive, so that can't be part of the install. Also, prior to the last step, you need to ensure you already have a printer registered with Google. (I do.) Everything looks like it is working pretty well until the last step.. If I only install one printer on the last step, then it too worked for me. When I tried to install all 3, it failed: =================== > sudo /usr/lib/cloudprint-cups/setupcloudprint.py root's password: Name for this user account ( eg something(a)gmail.com )? greg.freemyer(a)gmail.com Open this URL, grant access to CUPS Cloud Print, then provide the code displayed : <snip my unique data and a URL you have to click on> You currently have these accounts configured: greg.freemyer(a)gmail.com Add more accounts (Y/N)? N Add all Google Cloud Print printers to local CUPS install from greg.freemyer(a)gmail.com (Y/N)? Y Use a prefix for names of created printers (Y/N)? N ('Error adding: Canon_MG8200_series_2C7655', IPPError(1280, 'Success')) ('Error adding: Print_to_FedEx_Office', IPPError(1280, 'Success')) ('Error adding: Save_to_Google_Docs', IPPError(1280, 'Success')) Added 3 new printers to CUPS === That is reporting 3 new printers, but it also says all had an error. lpstat is reporting no printers added: > lpstat -d -p no system default destination lpstat: No destinations added. When I re-ran setupcloudprint.py and only selected the Canon printer, it worked and I've printed my first doc via Google Cloud Print.
