[opensuse] Android print solution?
by David C. Rankin 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Guys, With the iphone we were able to configure good print function via CUPS/Avahi, is there anything similar that can be done with an Android tablet? Looking, it doesn't appear that there is any basic print capability provided by Android (3.2 Honeycomb). I would like to print to by openSuSE server in the same manner I do from iOS. Anybody found a good solution? I have found PrintBot, but that isn't a solution because it cannot be used legally where confidentiality is required. (data is transferred to a 3rd party server before printing). I need to find a direct print solution. What says the braintrust? -- David C.

[opensuse] Using # with F2
by James Knott 04 May '13

04 May '13

For many years, I have pressed F2 to run stuff such as man, by entering #<command> in the pop up box. For some reason, this has now broken. When I do that, Seamonkey opens, which does not know how to handle those commands, instead of Konqueror. Firefox is set as the default browser. Any idea on how I can get this to work properly again? I'm running openSUSE 12.2 & KDE 4. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problem with inodes on SuSE 12.1 and /var ?
by Markus Egg 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Hello, I had SuSE 10.3 installed on my laptop. Backup of /var/spool/news onto some NAS was ok. Then formatted swap (swap filesys), / (ext4 filesys) /var (ext4 filesys) in the same size it was before. No other special settings, just the ones that are given and used by yast2 and SuSE 12.1 and ext4 . Installed SuSE 12.1 which was ok. When I tried to play back /var/spool/news with all the leafnode usenet news, after some time the system said something like "No space left on device" :-( The partition has exactly the same size. With SuSE 10.3 there was no problem concerning size. Were there any changes in the filesystem structure of SuSE 12.1 and ext4, e.g. inodes or similar, which makes /var under SuSE 12.1 run full earlier? How can I solve that? Reinstall with ext3 and SuSE 12.1 ? Put /var under / and reformat /var (which might be tricky)?

[opensuse] openSUSE on ASUS Tranformer?
by Vojtěch Zeisek 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hi all, as openSUSE 12.2 for ARM is now out, see http://news.opensuse.org/2012/11/06/opensuse-12-2-for-arm-final/ I wonder if there is some (easy) possibility to install it to my ASUS Transformer TF300T. I'd like to keep Android and use it as dual boot. Have a nice day! Vojta -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/

[opensuse] HTML Editor recommendation - in openSuse repositories
by Anton Aylward 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

In the past I've used Nvu and Arachnophilia, which I liked, Bluefish which I was ambiguous about and Komposer which I didn’t like mostly because it was unstable and Quanta, which I thought was overkill. Does the community have any recommendations for a HTML editor that I might use with KDE Baskets? Please note: that context. Not web site development. -- As I did so I struck against an elderly, deformed man, who had been behind me, and I knocked down several books which he was carrying. I remember that as I picked them up, I observed the title of one of them, _The Origin of Tree Worship_, and it struck me that the fellow must be some poor bibliophile, who, either as a trade or as a hobby, was a collector of obscure volumes. -- Watson, in "The Adventure of the Empty House" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No ACPI power off with openSuSE 12.2 / kernel 3.4 - SOLVED
by Rodney Baker 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

Hi all. Some time ago there was a thread about shutdown -p or poweroff not working under oS 12.2, and similarly with shutting down from kde/gnome also not powering off. I dont' recall seeing a resolution on that thread. Recently I upgraded to 12.2 (via a clean install) from 11.4 and hit the same issue. Upgrading the kernel from 3.4.11 to 3.4.28 had no effect, and I checked and upgraded the motherboard bios with no result. Then, I happened to be looking at /etc/default/grub for some reason and noticed that the default kernel parameters in that file (which are copied to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg - the grub2 equivalent of menu.lst) included "apm=off acpi=off"! Guess what happened when I removed those two parameters and re-ran grub2- mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg? That's right - acpi poweroff started working again! Why were these 2 parameters included in the default boot params on a clean install of 12.2? I'd be interested to see if this fixes it for anyone else who is having similar problems. Maybe this should be raised as an install bug?

[opensuse] 'find' and/or xargs experts, a hopefully simple syntax question
by Greg Freemyer 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

All, In non-working-psuedo-find-language I want to find a command to do: find . -name \*.E01 -exec ewfverify -l $(basename '{}').ewfverify.out '{}' ; Can anyone give me the right syntax. I'm not sure if it is easier to add xargs to the mix, if so that's fine too. === background with examples I have common situation where I have a parent folder with multiple children folders. This command more or less does what I want: find . -name \*.E01 | xargs -n 1 ewfverify > ewfverify.out That effectively does the same as (ewfverify <path_to_E01_file1> ;ewfverify <path_to_E01_file2> ;ewfverify <path_to_E01_file1> ;ewfverify <path_to_E01_file3> ; etc ) > ewfverify.out But I really want to have each command be more like: ewfverify -l <base_filename>.ewfverify_log <path_to_E01_file> I think just using find -exec will be better.

[opensuse] Silly little text file editing question............
by Duaine Hechler 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Since I've been out of the mainframe world for about 13 years, what happened to the mainframe style "full screen" text editors being standard in Linux. Like, XEDIT, KEDIT, ISPF. And I know about vi, kate, and kwrite BUT these are NOT full screen "text" editors - these are full screen "line" editor. Unlike, XEDIT, where you can move, copy, insert, delete, etc - easily - "blocks" of lines I know versions of these exist, like the "THE" editor. However, why haven't these become the "standard" ? (Even XEDIT, starts basically in character basic "console" mode (no graphics capabilities needed), which could be run in a Linux console session) Having a "system programming" background, I just don't understand why anyone would put up with a "line" editor.

[opensuse] opensuse 12.3 RC | starting LSB... and freeze
by Luis González 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello, I'm installing the opensuse 12.3 RC and I noticed an issue before the installation finished, and after reviewed several times I realized the error (laptop freeze completely) occurred when starting LSB. /var/log/messages not shown relevant info boot.log said Failed to start Network Manager, and of course I do no have network devices. When a launch yast and go to Network Devices, the error occurred again detecting devices... systemctl status NetworkManager.service said Active: failed status = 1/FAILURE What can I do to fix this issue? Can I look in other log files? Any suggestions? thank you! -- Luis González @ GMAIL -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Latest Thunderbird
by John Bennett 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

It would appear that the latest Thunderbird update (17.0.3 on 12.2 x64) seems to have brought it to a screaming halt... Reallyyy slow. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
