Well, I'm quite reluctant to change nntp reader just because out of 18 groups I'm having no trouble with, for some weird reason this particular group misbehaves. I think it would be better to try figuring a reason. -- 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?

I use "View -> Sort By -> Threaded" rather than "View -> Threads". I have no idea what you're doing differently, but Thunderbird - reading g.l.suse.general - puts your post under original poster instead of mine. View -> Sort By -> Threaded is enabled too.

I used to use an editor on a VAX 11/780, but I don't recall what it was called. What impressed me was, on one occasion, the computer crashed, then after it was brought back up, the editor replayed everything I had done to create the document. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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] How to edit entries in the "Run Command" menu.
by Terry Eck 01 Mar '13

Using 12.1 version of OpenSUSE. Right mouse button allows selecting the "Run Command" (ALT-F2 also selects this command). Can someone tell me where the command entries are stored? I have several entries which need to be deleted.

I ask because when I enter routes into yast-network > devices-network settings-routing, I lose all connectivity to that server. Those are simply different ways of setting routes. With Yast, the routes are stored in /etc/sysconfig/network/routes. You can manually add routes with the route command, as shown in that article. However, if you use the route commands, the routes will disappear when you reboot, so you'd have to include them in a script that runs at boot. When you save the routes in the routes file, they get loaded automatically as part of the boot up process. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
