[opensuse] KDE panel freezing
by Anton Aylward 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

It might be a plugin or config or it might be a release idiosyncrasy, but this last week or so the panel at the bottom of my KDE has frozen. The clock doesn't update, the task manager doesn't let me switch and of course the menu button doesn't cause the menu to pop up. The Alt-tab switcher does work. And Alt-F2 does work. I run zypper up every few days so I'm up to date on kde4.10 as per the earlier posting about the anomaly in the repository. Could that 'out of phase' be responsible? -- How long did the whining go on when KDE2 went on KDE3? The only universal constant is change. If a species can not adapt it goes extinct.

[opensuse] zypper dup question
by Ioannis Vranos 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

Hi all, At an openSUSE 12.3 KDE installation, without third-party repositories, zypper dup shows two packages for installation: openSUSE-release-ftp (openSUSE-release, and openSUSE-release-dvd, are already installed) and yast2-inetd-doc (yast2-inetd is already installed) I am not sure what openSUSE-release-ftp does. Does it configure the default repositories? Also, is it safe to always perform zypper dup, instead of zypper up, to openSUSE 12.3 installations without third party repositories? Thank you.

[opensuse] openSUSE 12.3 graphical update program, and zypper up, issue
by Ioannis Vranos 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

Hi all, I have two openSUSE 12.3 installations in VirtualBox, one with the KDE environment without third party repositories, and one with LXDE environment with all Packman repositories. After installing the latest updates with the graphical update manager, the graphical update manager did not show any updates, at both of these installations. However zypper up, showed updates in both of them, and I installed them with it. Why didn't those updates show up in the graphical update manager? Thank you.

[opensuse] UEFI and W7 recovery?
by j.e.perry＠cox.net 08 Jun '13

08 Jun '13

I have a new laptop that I'm anxious to get opensuse onto. After failing miserably with both virtualbox and 12.2, and reading that 12.3 works fine with uefi, I've downloaded 12.3 and written it onto a dvd. I backed up my W7 system, but I don't want to lose the vendor-supplied recovery partition (there is, of course, no recovery dvd). When I boot into 12.3 install, I get the message, "You have to delete all existing partitions to get a valid uefi boot partition", or text to that effect. There are no other options offered (the present partition setup is corrupt due to the disastrous 12.2 attempt), and I see no way to avoid wiping the recovery partition. Can anyone offer any help, here? John Perry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Make a backup of ~/.thunderbird just to be on the safe side before doing above.

[opensuse] How the heck to you stop screen blanking on Opensuse 12.2
by James Pifer 08 Jun '13

08 Jun '13

This is driving me nuts. I have an Opensuse system I use as a mythfrontend. How the heck to you stop screen blanking on Opensuse 12.2 running gnome? I've tried every setting I can find that has to do with power or screen saver, yet after about 20 mins it the screen starts to fade to black/blank. Hitting a key on the remote does nothing to stop the blanking, I have to physically hit a key on the keyboard attached to the system. Any help is appreciated.
