[opensuse] KDE plasma crashes on login
by jide.ogunmekan＠gmail.com 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Hi all, Just upgraded my O/S from 12.2 to 12.3 and on login KDE plasma crashes leaving me with a black screen. I rebooted into recovery mode, flipped into a terminal and moved .kde4 folder to .kde4-old so it would create a new one upon login. It successfully created a new desktop but plasma still crashes and no panel nor icons etc. My setup is Dell XPS L502x 8GB RAM Opensuse 12.2 I downloaded the iso and switched off all other repos and mounted the 12.3 iso and then ran zypper dup to get to where I am. Any help with plasma crashing on login would be appreciated Jide Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone provided by Airtel Nigeria.

[opensuse] zypper issue with NFS repo
by Alvin 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Hello, I am having trouble using zypper (libzypp?) and my NFS repository. When my openSUSE 12.2 desktop attempts to refresh (from within YaST or via zypper on the commandline), I get the following error message: "Failed to mount server:/repositories/misc: on /var/adm/mount/AP_0xknsS2y: Unable to verify that the media was mounted" I have the same repo added on another desktop that has openSUSE 12.1 and it works just fine. The desktop/server that provides the repository is openSUSE 12.2 and exports the directory using NFS4. Both the openSUSE 12.1 and 12.2 desktops (the clients) have identical configurations (both have "NFS v4 Protocol" checked.). If I change the 12.2 desktop to "Local Directory", it works just fine. I can mount other directories from the "server" on the 12.2 desktop without any problems. Can anyone offer any ideas of how I can fix this or troubleshoot this further? Cheers, Alvin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OT: Need a recommendation for a NAS
by Michael S. Dunsavage 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

I was wondering if anyone knows a good NAS that can stream DLNA to use as a home media server? I'm considering also building one and using freeNAS, but I don't have much time w/ school and work. Sorry it's OT, but it's the only tech list I'm on. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] sleeping network
by Robert Schweikert 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Hi, I have an annoying issue with the network on my laptop apparently going to sleep. This is a new machine and I installed openSUSE 12.3 when I received the laptop earlier this week. Thus I have no point of comparison to openSUSE 12.2 or earlier. The issue is that the wireless light on the laptop is on, but no one is home to answer the call, i.e. I cannot ping the machine or ssh in. When I log into the machine and ping some other box on my network from the laptop everything comes back to live and I can then go back and ssh in from another machine. I have disable the PCI power saving mode in the firmware but that did not change the behavior. I have looked in the power management interface of XFCE to see if there is a setting that triggers this behavior but did not see anything obvious. Does anyone have an idea what would casue this behavior and how I might "fix" it such that the network does not go to sleep.
