[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. I added a comment at github about the failure: https://github.com/simoncadman/CUPS-Cloud-Print/issues/45 Greg -- Greg Freemyer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Creating local copy of 12.2 repository plus patches
by Christopher Myers 29 Dec '13

29 Dec '13

Hey guys and gals, I know that oS 12.2 is no longer officially supported, so I was wanting to create a local copy of the 12.2 repo, complete with the latest patches and versions. That way, as I install software in the future, I was hoping to be able to just use the local copy rather than trying to have to download packages manually and try to match up required version numbers, etc. The reason I'm not going to be upgrading this box anytime soon is because it's my server at home, and I've done so many tweaks and customizations to the box, I don't want to risk an upgrade to 13.1 going wrong or one of the pieces of third-party software running on it not being compatible. Besides, there isn't any benefit for me upgrading at this point, especially since everything is working really really well right now.

[opensuse] 13.1 installing troubles
by A. den Oudsten 29 Dec '13

29 Dec '13

I installed 13.1 with an iso DVD on my Acer e-machine. The next time I started up and at the moment when the KDE icon appeared and was still unsharp all blocked, leaving only diagonal lines at the screen. This also occurred when I started the second time with a KDE-live disk. Suggestions how to solve this will be very appreciated!

[opensuse] trying to play audio from linux to windows using pulse
by Linda Walsh 29 Dec '13

29 Dec '13

Found instructions to setup the win side and binaries. For the linux side I was to set the PULSE_SERVER. But now can' find a music player that will work with it. xmms2d with a xmms2-plugin-pulse looked promising, but xmms2d can't start. It gives an error message: xmms2d INFO: ../src/xmms/log.c:49: Initialized logging system :) 22:50:55 ERROR: ../src/xmms/ipc.c:862: Couldn't setup IPC listening on 'unix:///tmp/xmms-ipc-Bliss\law'. 22:50:55 FATAL: ../src/xmms/main.c:540: IPC failed to init! So why can't it create a socket on linux -- maybe it isn't quoting the backslash? My login is law, but if it is prepending the domain name, that would give it Bliss\law. Has anyone gotten music to play from linux to a winbox? Is this doable?

[opensuse] Hylafax and faxgetty in 13.1
by Bjoern Voigt 28 Dec '13

28 Dec '13

I wonder, how I can get "faxgetty" (from hylafax package) to work in openSUSE 13.1 with Systemd. Unfortunately I have currently no testing system with a modem. Is there any preconfigured Systemd script for faxgetty? The documentation within hylafax package seems to be outdated because it only describes the setup for sysv-init. /etc/init.d/hylafax: [...] # This init script is the preferred way to start HylaFAX, # but does not, by default, activate any modems. Consult # the faxgetty(8) and faxmodem(8) man pages for more info. [...] man faxgetty: [...] One faxgetty should be run for each facsimile modem on a machine.faxgetty is typically started by init(8C).

[opensuse] Workstation refurbished with OpenSuse 13.1, but with some issues
by Ted Byers 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

Well, I tried to install from a DVD onto which the iso image was copied, but as it turned out, the only machine I have with a DVD writer has a defective DVD writer. Thus, I installed OpenSuse 12.3, and did a live update to 13.1. For the most part, it seems to work fine. Alas, as might usually be expected, there are some issues. 1) MySQL Workbench does not seem to be available for installation using yast. At first, I tried to build it from source downloaded from MySQL's site, but that failed miserably. I then found an rpm for it (labelled as unstable), but that refused to install. I finally met with success by installing the build of it for 12.3. So, problem solved (in the hopes that at some point, when I deal with software updates, it will get updated too). I mention this just in case someone else needs MySQL Workbench and doesn't find it. 2) I have been using Remmina, on OpenSuse 12.3, to RDP into several Windows servers, without significant issues. However, When I installed Remmina on OpenSuse 13.1, I found that it did not have support for RDP. I looked again, and found that there was an RDP plugin for Remmina, and so installed that, but there was no change in behaviour. No matter what I did, I could not get Remmina to even attempt to make an RDP connection to anything. As a work- around, I tried KRDC, which seems to be adequate. 3) This last issue is undoubtedly a consequence of user error, but I have yet to find a fix. In the expectation that Remmina would work as well on OpenSuse 13.1 as it seems to on 12.3, I hade copied the menu item for it from the menu to that rectangular black 'folder' that is on the desktop by default. By default, it has Firefox, KInfoCenter, Office, 'Online Help' and an OpenSuse icon. I assume it is some kind of special folder, as choosing 'folder view settings' from the popup menu that appears when right-clicking it presents the expected folder settings. Now, when I found Remmina did not work adequately, I tried to delete it, but ended up with that whole black rectangle disappearing instead. How do I get that back?

[opensuse] upgrade annoyances
by tooth pik 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

I recently did an in place upgrade from 12.2 to 12.3 and seem to have lost the ability to make desktop changes that survive a reboot. With the following repositories http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.3/repo/oss http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.3/repo/non-oss http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.3/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/openSUSE_12.3/ ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.3/ http://opensuse-guide.org/repo/12.3/ http://packman.inode.at/suse/12.3/ http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/12.3/repo/oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.3-non-oss/ enabled I performed a zypper dup and with only one conflict resolution got a functioning operating system -- I wanted nvidia in there so I could see a comprehensible display after the upgrade then I added http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/411/openSUSE_12.3/ and with another zypper dup got a newer KDE (4.11.4) in my main menu there are two Configure Desktops -- the upper one is worded "Configure Desktop" and seems to have a more modern gui -- the lower one is worded "Personal Settings (Configure Desktop)" and the gui is less modern I can change things, eg the keyboard repeat delay, in the upper modern gui, but the changes have no effect -- when I change them in the lower gui the things I change get changed, but they are back to defaults after a reboot. I have to do this the Powerdevil settings, turning NumLock on, and nothing I've tried so far has succeeded in attaching firefox to Win-F, or Ksnapshot to PrintScreen or dolphin to Win-E any help will be appreciated -- _|_ _ __|_|_ ._ o| |_(_)(_)|_| ||_)||< | -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
