[opensuse] virtualbox installation
by constant＠indo.net.id 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

On my 12.2 KDE box I am planning to use a virtual product and after findingseveral help sites on howto install e.g virtualbox I started wondering aboutthe availability of a virtualbox in Yast. Why should I go to the Oracle website as suggested in a howto, if Yast offersme an installation. Is it not complete and do I need anything else? Went to Yast and installed virtualbox with the idea that openSUSE would giveme a workable piece of software. But now I am stuck as I have no idea how tobegin. Where is the documentation for the Suse virtualbox? ___________________________________________________________ indomail - Your everyday mail - http://indomail.indo.net.id -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Tearing/stepping windows after updating to KDE4.11?
by C 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

I just bumped up to KDE4.11, and I'm seeing something "new". It's minor, but visually annoying when I notice it. Basically if I move a window left or right, the window redraw steps... a portion of the window is always leading the rest, and the step point.. the tear?... drifts up the window from bottom to top. Once it reaches the top it starts over at the bottom again. It's like a wave flowing upward in the window. glxinfo gives me this: ---------------------------------------------- OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 660 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 OpenGL version string: 4.3.0 NVIDIA 319.32 ---------------------------------------------- So, in theory it shouldn't be the video card....

[opensuse] Systemd Question -Default.Target
by Upscope 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

I have been having issue on boot (12.3 see signature below) where it goes to a command line instead of the graphical interface, after doing an update in June. If I put a 5 at the end of the Linux line in grub2 menu, it goes to the graphical target. I finally think I found it today. /etc/systemd/system/Default target points to: Code --------- /usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target ---------- /code Can I use the following code to fix this without messing up my system? (as found in a write on web search) Code ---------- rm /etc/systemd/system/default.target ln -sf /lib/systend/system/graphical.target /etc/systend/system/default.target ----------- /Code My 12.2 install points to: Code ---------- /usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /Code ---------- Thanks for any response. -- openSUSE 12.3(Linux 3.10.5-1.g4e0ffc2-desktop)|KDE Ver. 4.11.00 |Intel core2duo 2.5 MHZ,|8GB DDR3|GeForce 8400GS(NVIDIA-Linux- x86_64-325.15) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Creating the distro USB stick with a simple 'cp'
by Carlos E. R. 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, A chap at the forums had failed to create the usb stick for installation following several published procedures. But he succeeded with this one: # cp image.iso /dev/sdX # sync And that's it! No more 'dd', or imagewrite, whatever. Just a cp to the raw device, umounted. Someone can explain why it works? Or why it should not work? Do we want to plublish this method on our wiki (for 13.1)? :-) He took the idea from here: <http://superuser.com/questions/620877/cp-command-to-make-bootable-iso-image…> The forum thread is here: View this thread: <http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=489025> - -- Cheers Carlos E.

[opensuse] firefox/seamonkey causing KDEInit problems
by Daniel Bauer 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

Hello, working on coding web I have a dolphin-, several text- and several seamonkey- or firefox-windows open. One of a sudden I cannot open files with a click on entries in dolphin, also desktop-icons do not start anything anymore. I get messages like KDEInit cannot start „/usr/bin/kwrite“ or KDEInit cannot start „/bin/sh“ (messages translated from my german desktop) I now found out that this happens when I have firefox or seamonkey windows open. After closing all of them, everything works normal again after a few seconds. I can reproduce it: no other windows open: - click on dolphin desktop icon opens dophin staring firefox: - click on dolphin desktop icon causes the small jumping icon, but dolphin does not open closing firefox: - click on dolphin desktop icon icon opens dophin again normally The same happens with seamonkey. It does NOT happen with other browsers (as far as my short tests showed): opera, konqueror and chromium do not cause the problem. Opensuse 12.3 KDE 4.10 Firefox 23.0 (Firefox for Opensuse) SeaMonkey 2.19 I havn't found anything corresponding to the problems in the logs. Any ideas? Thanks for hints!

[opensuse] intel graphics with openSUSE 12.3
by Roger Oberholtzer 13 Aug '13

Instead, the FBDEV driver is used. I see that it loads the intel driver (after trying the nvidia). There is no obvious complaint. It just goes on to the FBDEV. The only error I see in Xorg.0.log is: (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory There is no /dev/dri directory at all.
