Let Linux do > it, but with the clock set to local time, instead of the usual UTC. Few people know how to forbid Windows to change the "hardware clock". I don't. By the way, if you set the cmos clock to "local", openSUSE will refuse to do the yearly summer/winter change, and other adjustments to the cmos clock (aka bios clock, aka "hardware clock). On the other hand, on windows 7/8 (and vista, I think) it is possible to tell Windows to use the cmos clock as UTC instead of local. This is what I use and since them, I have no problems. But even if you do any of those solutions, the /etc/adjtime file is already corrupted (if you have the hours shift problem on boot). You have to remove it and recreate it again. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 12.3 x86_64 "Dartmouth" at Telcontar)

[opensuse] dmraid with phpsysinfo?
by Christopher Myers 01 Sep '13

01 Sep '13

Hey everyone! Just had a quick question - does anyone know if it's possible to query dmraid status via phpsysinfo? I know they have a plugin for mdraid, but didn't see any way to do it (tried to google it a number of different ways with no results.) I'd post to the forums on sourceforge, but apparently they're having issues because I keep getting HTTP 500 errors. This is the output of my dmraid results if it helps any: dmraid -s *** Group superset .ddf1_disks --> Active Subset name : ddf1_DATA size : 488019072 stride : 128 type : mirror status : ok subsets: 0 devs : 2 spares : 0 Thanks much!

[opensuse] Amarok muting on notifications
by Paul Groves 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

Does anyone know how to stop music from muting in Amarok when notifications are displayed? Its very irritating that every time someone on Skype signs in or I delete a file that my music stops. I can't seem to see the option to disable this in Amarok settings. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Restore session no longer works - Seamonkey 2.20
by James Knott 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

Seamonkey was recently upgraded. Since then "Restore Session" no longer works. Retore Session is normally used after Seamonkey was abnormally shut down and restores all the web pages that were previously open. Now, only a single window opens and previous sessions cannot be restored. A recent version of Firefox does not exhibit this problem. Anyone know of a fix for this? I'm running openSUSE 12.3 tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Dual /multiboot openSUSE
by michael norman 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

I am running 12 3 64 bit. I am using Grub legacy installed in the root partition. I am thinking of adding Linux Mint in dual boot mode. I have a spare partition which I keep for installing other Os's which I usually use to test new versions of openSUSE. It is some time since I tried that with an non SUSE os. Are there any gotchas I should look for doing this with Linux Mint ? Where should I tell it to put its bootloader so that openSUSE will see it ? Anything else I should worry about ?

[opensuse] Google Earth - invalid HTTP request
by James Knott 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

I have Google Earth installed on two computers. On both, whenever I try to run a search, I get an error message "invalid HTTP request. I do not see this problem on Windows. I'm running version 6.0.3.2197-0, which is the latest, on openSUSE 12.3. This is a fairly recent problem, as it has work properly in the past. Any ideas? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Can you point me in the right direction > to figure that out? I'm not at home, so I can't look up the details. The idea is as follows: First, you configure the router to send the log to the computer. Many can do that, but some can not. If yours can't, then this can not be done. You have to detect if the router logs a certain message when it loses the connection and reconnects, or if the IP changes. Some even write the new IP to the log, which is fantastic. Then, you configure the syslog daemon to accept those messages and write them to a file. How to do that depends on which syslog daemon you have, because openSUSE has set different ones by default on each release. Next step is to make the syslog daemon detect a certain message pattern on the log; this is normally quite easy. Typical actions are to save that entry to a file or not to; but you can also trigger a call to an external command: that's what we are looking for. Well, the idea is precisely to trigger an script when the router sends the message that it is recovering the connection... if the message contains the IP, good; if not, a simple call to links to a certain web page that answers with the IP, and some trickery with sed, and you have the IP. I can fill the details probably this Thursday. And, in case this fails, have cron obtain the IP every... 8 hours? And at boot. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] remote xfce4 through ssh
by jdd 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

Hello, It's a long time I was out of openSUSE bussiness, but I hope to be able to come back, at least a bit :-) I'm setting up a new hosted server with openSUSE 13.3 and I uodate my own doc here: http://dodin.org/wiki/index.php?n=Doc.OpenSUSE-small-ThirdEdition every time I build a new one I have more power (for this one I7 processor, 24Gb ram!) and try do do some better config. Just now I try to have an xfce remote session. I could use VNC or freenix, but I had in the past problems with this (I have to run VirtualBox on the server and too many virtualization layers do not fit well), so I would like now to use simpler way, that is X remote. I connect to the server with "ssh -X -C root(a)xxxx.info". I can launch yast2, xeyes, but if I try "startxfce4" I get only a partial session (and lot of messages) I get the initial mouse logo, and the taskbar, but no desktop and the taskbar seems to reflect the local windows, not the server ones. is it at all possible to export the complete xfce session? how? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Tell system to use pm-utils
by Malte Gell 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Hello, only pm-utils can run scripts after resuming. This is why I want the system (openSUSE 12.3) to use pm-utils. How can I do this? I suspend from the KDE menu. How can I make KDE use pm-utils? Malte
