[opensuse] looking for pgAdmin 1.16.xx
by Andreas 15 Jun '13

15 Jun '13

Hi even though openSUSE 12.3 provides PostgreSQL 9.2.4 in it's repository, it only offers pgAdmin 1.14.x which complains to be outdated for PG 9.2.x. Even the packet search on the web page doesn't cough up pgAdmin 1.16.x. which isn't actually brand new. Where could I look? regards Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Do I have a rpm database corruption (OpenSUSE 12.3) (noobish)
by h 15 Jun '13

15 Jun '13

Hi, I have a fully patched [1] installation of OpenSuse 12.3. It was a clean install on a reformatted partition. For some time now (sorry, I have no record of when it started, or what happened to cause it), when doing "zypper up" I get messages such as: ************************************************************************ Installation of libqmmp0-plugin-mplayer-debuginfo-0.7.1-45.3 failed: (with --nodeps --force) Error: Subprocess failed.

[opensuse] How to stop KDE complaining about an unknown device?
by Andreas 15 Jun '13

15 Jun '13

Everytime I log in KDE pops up a message that it doesn't know what to do with the sound card. It asks if it should ignore this device and there is a checkbox that says "don't ask this question again". Even when I check this checkbox the message still comes up at login. As I don't need sound on this system I would rather disable this particular message completely. How can I stop KDE complaining about an unknown device? regards Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Since updatedb runs as root, it should contain all files. Since locate can be run by anyone, anyone can see all the files. To do anything else would require updatedb to save the permissions and locate to honour them. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Can't increase shared_buffers for PostgreSQL on openSUSE 12.3
by Andreas 14 Jun '13

14 Jun '13

Hi I just installed an openSUSE 12.3 64Bit on an i5 box with 32GB RAM. Then I installed postgresql 9.2.4. The pg service starts with default config. As default it has only 24 MB shared_buffers. I need it way higher like 4 or even 8 GB. As soon I change those 24 MB to something higher PG won't start anymore. I had the same issue back with openSUSE 12.1 and it was solved when I switched from systemd back to sysvinit. How can I get more memory for PG on openSUSE 12.3 ?
