[opensuse] Lost my menu in LXDE
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Since 4 or 5 days I have an incomplete menu in LXDE. The only choices found are accessories and games (some of the installed packages) run and logout. If I switch to Icewm I see a complete menu list with all installed packages. This LXDE is updated with zypper up. How can I force LXDE to give me my menu back? -- Linux User 183145 using KDE and LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 12.3 (i586) Kernel: 3.7.10-1.1-default KDE Development Platform: 4.10.2 "release 1" 19:59pm up 0:10, 1 user, load average: 0.24, 0.53, 0.44 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Reindexing with Nepoomuk
by Lívio Cipriano 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Hi, I want to force Nepomuk to re index my HOME dir files. Before an update I had 80.000 files and after I have 5.000. I've deleted ALL nepomuk files from my HOME dir and relogin, but it only put ONE file in index and the indexer it's idle. Any suggestions?

[opensuse] Sysrq on oS 12.3
by Andrea Turrini 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Hi all, I have noticed that sysrq is disabled in oS 12.3 since /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq contains 0. The only files containing kernel.sysrq are /etc/sysctl.conf and /lib/sysctl.d/sysctl.conf so following the comment in /etc/sysctl.conf I have created /etc/sysctl.d/sysctl.conf with content kernel.sysrq = 176 After a reboot, /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq still contains 0. The only way I have found for enabling sysrq is to comment out the relative line in /etc/sysctl.conf, even if this is not the expected way. So, what is the correct way to have sysrq enabled? If this is a bug, what is the right component against which to file the bug report?

[opensuse] Lost ability to play a TS file.
by John Bennett 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

I seem to have lost the ability to play a TS file direct from a PVR (Topfield 2400) I could do this a while back in VLC (and Kaffeine, I believe), but was having issues playing radio streams from the net, through Amarok. Read that a fix for this was to install VLC from the videolan repo. Did this, and it fixed that problem, but obviously broke my ability to play TS files. Have now reverted back and am running VLC V2.0.6-117.1 from pacman (streams still seem to be playing), but still can't play TS files - if I convert them to something else, all is good. Running VLC from the command line gives me: VLC media player 2.0.6 Twoflower (revision 2.0.6-0-gbe9623c) [0x1133878] main interface error: no suitable interface module [0xfab0a8] main libvlc error: interface "globalhotkeys,none" initialization failed [0xfab0a8] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. Mediainfo gives me the following on the file in question: General Complete name : /home/movies/VCR/Analog Stream-5.mpg Format : MPEG-TS Format profile : No PAT/PMT File size : 384 MiB Duration : 12mn 20s Overall bit rate mode : Variable Overall bit rate : 4 348 Kbps Video ID : 4130 (0x1022) Format : MPEG Video Format version : Version 2 Format profile : Main@Main Format settings, BVOP : Yes Format settings, Matrix : Custom Format settings, GOP : M=2, N=16 Duration : 12mn 19s Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 3 939 Kbps Maximum bit rate : 6 000 Kbps Width : 720 pixels Height : 576 pixels Display aspect ratio : 4:3 Frame rate : 25.000 fps Standard : PAL Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Interlaced Scan order : Bottom Field First Compression mode : Lossy Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.380 Time code of first frame : 00:00:17:18 Time code source : Group of pictures header Stream size : 347 MiB (91%) Running 12.3 x64, fully updated, almost standard repos (+pacman+chrome+LibreOffice +akoellh(for ripperX)) Any suggestions?

As soon as version transitions is completed it will work again. Most probably it will be ready on openSUSE 13.1 release. Doing a GStreamer version downgrade from 1.0 to 0.10 will fix it but could make other applications having a hard time too. So waiting for next release is wisely advise. In the meantime, if anyone feels imperiously driven to get similar functionality consider to install Banshee Media Player. It has a Miro light instance nof affected by version transitions already above written. Hope this help someone.

[opensuse] Console rotation
by Dylan 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Hello List I use my primary display in portrait orientation. This works fine in KDE, but leaves the text console displayed 'sideways'. I have tried using the fbcon=rotate:x kernel parameter, but the kernel config lists the feature as unset. Is there any way to enable this without re-compiling the kernel (every time there is an update...)

Since the recent update, I can no longer use Ctl-Alt-Fn to switch to a text console on my main computer. However, it still works on my ThinkPad. Any idea what might have caused this? Is there a setting somewhere that I can't seem to find? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I can install OS and boot the installed system with mem=4096M. For the installation I also had to use "nomodeset vga=normal". These are second hand Rackable Systems half depth servers (GA around 2007/2008), 16 x 2GB memory modules and 2 x AMD Opteron 2350 on Asus KFSN4-DRE/SAS. Think of them as a whitebox servers or highend desktops. I ran memtest as suggested in the list and it complained, quickly. Given I have two machines exhibiting the same issue, I'm tempted to think it's a configuration thing. I'll have to look at memory timing parameters or whatever can be set at the BIOS.
