[opensuse] LXDE does not restart after logout
by Hearns, John 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

I am having a problem with the LXDM display manager on OpenSUSE 12.1 I did post on the Opensuse forum, but no answers yet. Any help gratefully received! I can start it fine, log in and start a session etc. But when I use lxsession-logout and logout the display manager does not restart. I get the following in the system log: Apr 16 18:21:43 host23 systemd-logind[751]: Removed session 1000. Apr 16 18:21:43 host23 polkitd(authority=local): Unregistered Authentication Agent for unix-session:/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session1 (system bus name :1.3149, object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_GB.UTF-8) (disconnected from bus) Apr 16 18:21:43 host23 dbus-daemon[906]: **** /proc/self/mountinfo changed Apr 16 18:21:43 host23 console-kit-daemon[22221]: rmdir: failed to remove â/var/run/dbus/at_console/hearnsjâ: Directory not empty Apr 16 18:21:47 host23 killproc: killproc: Usage: Apr 16 18:21:47 host23 xdm[22532]: ..done lxdm.log has: ** Message: find greeter (nil) ** Message: find idle 0x1180cb0 ** Message: add 0x1180cb0 ** Message: prepare greeter on :0 ** Message: start greeter on :0 Any ideas?

[opensuse] Audio is "crackling" on only some Flash streams played in Chromium?
by C 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

I've been poking around trying to resolve an audio issue specific to Chromium on openSUSE. The symptoms... Audio is "crackling" (actually is sounds like an old 8-bit helicopter game) on only some Flash streams. An example of a Flash stream that is showing this behaviour: http://www.desura.com/games/snorms The flash streams on other sites such as YouTube (and others) works fine... this issue only shows up in some places. The same website on Firefox works fine - so I assume it's not a general Flash on openSUSE issue. I do not have Pepper installed in Chromium. Flash version is 11.2.202.275 Chromium is 27.0.1425.0 (185065) I've dug up this bug report: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=224046 but no help. Anyone else having this issue? Ideas? C. -- openSUSE 12.3 x86_64, KDE 4.10 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 12.3 power off issue with multicore?
by Toshi Esumi 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

I've read some threads in the past about symptoms similar to my long experience of the power off problem (doesn't power off but restarts). One of them said it's a problem with multicore CPU (mine is Athlonx2 64). Is it still an active problem w/ 12.3? Mine still does even after I re-built my machine with 12.3. Or is there a work around and I just don't know about it? Thanks, Toshi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to import users and group ids?
by Marc Chamberlin 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

In my effort to upgrade our servers to openSuSE12.3, I have yet again encountered a problem that required a lot of time to debug and track down. This has plagued me and frosted my tootsies before... I often copy data (whole directory trees) that is required for various servers from an older OS into the realm of the new OS that I am upgrading to. For example, the MySQL databases, the Apache and Tomcat web site data, James mail data, etc. In the process user and group ID's from the old version of files can "change" because the underlying integer value - UID/GID - for these IDs is different for the two different OS versions. This in turn can lead to hard to debug security problems. It seems to me that when installing a new version of openSuSE, there ought to be a way to import the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files from an older OS into the new OS BEFORE anything gets actually installed. In that way, the underlying integer UID/GID could be kept consistent and not lead to problems that can/will result if/when a particular user/group identifier changes in value. If there is a way to do this, I was unable to find it in the documentation or via Google, so pointers will be much appreciated. Or perhaps, is there a tool that can merge and update a system, and all its files, from one set of /etc/passwd and /etc/group files into another set? Again, I am not able to find a tool that does it.... I know that I can use YaST to change the UID/GID for each user or group ID individually, and it seems to work OK, but gets tedious. Hoping there a better way? Marc... -- "The Truth is out there" - Spooky -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] imapd on openSUSE 12.3
by Roger Oberholtzer 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

I would like to enable courier IMAPD on an openSUSE 12.3 system. So I thought I would do so via yast. In the xinetd section, when I try to enable imap (/usr/sbin/imapd), yast wants to install a package called 'imap'. However, it seems this package is not available. I did a search for 'imap' on the openSUSE site and the package claims to be available. But alas the actual installable seems not to be available. Is it just a repository issue? When I look at this: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=openSUSE% 3A12.3&package=imap it seems the standard builds are disabled. That must make it rather difficult for yast to install it... Another question is why it insists on adding a package called imap when /usr/sbin/imapd is already installed via courier-imap-4.12.0-2.1.1.i586.

[opensuse] zypper error message

Hi, all. I've recently install 64-bit OpenSuSE 12.3. It's my first experience of SuSE & I'm enjoying it. I recently added the packman repo in order to get the restricted codecs for Chromium & since doing so I see this error message every time I run 'zypper up': 'The following package updates will NOT be installed: gstreamer gstreamer-0_10 gstreamer-0_10-plugin-gnomevfs gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-lang gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good gstreamer-0_10-utils gstreamer-0_10-utils-unversioned gstreamer-plugins-base gstreamer-plugins-good libcdio14 libgstapp-0_10-0 libgstapp-1_0-0 libgstaudio-1_0-0 libgstfft-1_0-0 libgstinterfaces-0_10-0 libgstpbutils-1_0-0 libgstreamer-0_10-0 libgstreamer-1_0-0 libgstriff-1_0-0 libgstrtp-1_0-0 libgstrtsp-1_0-0 libgstsdp-1_0-0 libgsttag-1_0-0 libgstvideo-1_0-0 libiso9660-8 libmjpegutils-2_0-0 libquicktime0 libquvi-scripts libxine2-pulse python-gstreamer-0_10 typelib-1_0-Gst-0_10 typelib-1_0-Gst-1_0 typelib-1_0-GstAudio-1_0 typelib-1_0-GstInterfaces-0_10 typelib-1_0-GstPbutils-1_0 typelib-1_0-GstTag-1_0 typelib-1_0-GstVideo-1_0' I'm figuring there's a conflict somewhere hence the packages can't be installed.

[opensuse] Format used for compressed logs by logrotate.
by Carlos E. R. 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I suddenly noticed that in my 12.1 system, I can no longer use zgrep to search the rotated logs, which are compressed using xz. cer@Telcontar:~> zgrep Telcontar /var/log/messages-20121206.xz cer@Telcontar:~> It fails without giving an error (The string "Telcontar" is on every log line). This is probably a bug that I could report in Bugzilla, but obviously it will be ignored at this time. Can somebody else check 12.3? Now I have to reconvert all my logs to a format I can read, and change the logrotate config so that it uses some other format like bzip2 - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse] Controlling Dolphin Cache size
by John Andersen 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Recently I noticed my /tmp was growing rather huge. Dolphin caches in /tmp/kde-{username} and digging around I found that I had multiple occurrences of directories that I had deleted from my /home/{user}, each one over 5gig, containing music from several CDs that I had ripped mere days ago. I cleaned these out and tried to reproduce their creation. Ripping didn't cause them to appear. But deleting (move to trash) the directory where the ripped mp3 files were stored caused multiple directories to appear: /tmp/kde-{username}/dolphinxxnnnn.tmp, each with a separate copy of each mp3. Emptying the Trash did not remove these. (in fact it creates another one where the xx portion of name differs). Logging out and back in again did not remove these. Shutdown and reboot didn't clear these either. Copy each of these directories to trash and empty trash, and they re-appear in /tmp/kde-{username} again!!! Further, these directories have the wrong permissions. (world readable) but the individual files inside have correct permissions. What causes this behavior? I'm especially keen to keep /tmp from growing. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
