[opensuse] Firefox & Moonlight
by Koenraad Lelong 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

Hi, Is anyone able to use Moonlight/Silverlight in Firefox ? I need this for an application. I installed a Moonlight add-on, but Firefox says it's uncompatible with Firefox 23.0 (and a number of previous versions). There is plugin installed, but that does not do it's job (I think). I found a solution by disabling version checks of add-ons, then the "incompatible" add-on works fine. I tested this with the http://bubblemark.com/ site. Unfortunately, the application I need Silverlight for seems not to work with this setup, although now it does not ask to install Silverlight. Any comments ? Thanks.

[opensuse] change of monitor setting in 12.3
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 20 Aug '13

In the time of sax, I would have no problem changing the settings of a monotor. Alas, sax is not more. As my normal 17 " monitor is under repair, I got a 15 " monitor to keep my machine running. Thismonitor, a Compaq S5500 should run native 1024x768at 60Hz. Vert.RR 54Hz. I plugged the monitor in and ended up with 640x480 and as the monitor reports H:31.4K and V:60Hz which is to course for normal use. Where and how could I change the monitor settings? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] networkmanager disconnecting
by Mark Misulich 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Hi, I am staying in a hotel at the moment and was being disconnected from the hotel's wifi network about every thirty seconds or so. I had been connected for about three hours, then I started to be disconnected continually. This went on for about an hour, till I restarted the computer. Then I was able to log onto the wifi net automatically again during startup. I looked up the /var/log/networkmanager logs to see if there was something obvious that was causing the disconnect and failure to log in again. But I only see that it shows that I am trying to connect and being disconnected. I will post some of the log below to see if someone else can find a reason for the problem that I don't see. 2013-08-19T16:49:52.393850-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 5 of 5 (IPv4 Configure Commit) scheduled... 2013-08-19T16:49:52.394504-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 5 of 5 (IPv4 Commit) started... 2013-08-19T16:49:53.396323-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: ip-config -> activated (reason 'none') [70 100 0] 2013-08-19T16:49:53.545642-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): roamed from BSSID 00:1E:13:1B:1F:41 (hhonors) to 00:1D:A2:C9:BA:71 (hhonors) 2013-08-19T16:49:53.573371-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Clearing nscd hosts cache. 2013-08-19T16:49:53.577020-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Policy set 'hhonors' (wlan0) as default for IPv4 routing and DNS. 2013-08-19T16:49:53.577987-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Activation (wlan0) successful, device activated. 2013-08-19T16:49:53.581046-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 5 of 5 (IPv4 Commit) complete. 2013-08-19T16:49:54.182781-04:00 linux-z6ef nm-dispatcher.action: Script '/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/nfs' exited with error status 2. 2013-08-19T16:52:14.551796-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: completed -> authenticating 2013-08-19T16:52:14.565314-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: authenticating -> completed 2013-08-19T16:52:17.891175-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): roamed from BSSID 00:1D:A2:C9:BA:71 (hhonors) to 00:1D:A2:CA:05:A1 (hhonors) 2013-08-19T16:52:47.887759-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <warn> nl_recvmsgs() error: (-33) Dump inconsistency detected, interrupted 2013-08-19T16:53:37.332108-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: completed -> authenticating 2013-08-19T16:53:37.802272-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: authenticating -> disconnected 2013-08-19T16:53:37.902176-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: disconnected -> scanning 2013-08-19T16:53:38.128616-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: scanning -> disconnected 2013-08-19T16:53:38.237994-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: disconnected -> scanning 2013-08-19T16:53:38.458384-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: scanning -> authenticating 2013-08-19T16:53:38.461980-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: authenticating -> associating 2013-08-19T16:53:38.481769-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: associating -> completed 2013-08-19T16:53:41.892529-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): roamed from BSSID 00:1D:A2:CA:05:A1 (hhonors) to 00:19:A9:B4:AC:31 (hhonors) If more of the log would help, I can post more.

If you are just capturing a range of numbers or letters, you can even use: {1..3} with the added dots. Useful if you need a wide range and don't want to make a large comma separated list. $ echo {5..10} 5 6 7 8 9 10 $ echo {d..g} d e f g > On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 6:35 PM, Ciro Iriarte <cyruspy(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks! > > 2013/8/13 Brian K.

[opensuse] Serving photo's to a tablet
by Koenraad Lelong 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Hi, I was wondering how I could serve photo's and such to a tablet/smartphone. I know I can make a slide-show and upload that to a webserver, or install a CMS and use that to show the photo's, but are there more easy ways ? Mind you, it's only for home-use. No access from the Internet, although that could be just a firewall configuration. Of course, the server I want to use runs Opensuse. Thanks for any thoughts.

[opensuse] KMail on 12.3
by Mark Tinka 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Hi all. I'm still running openSUSE 11.4 because the last time I attempted an upgrade to 12.1, it ended in tears where KMail2 was such a surprise, particularly how it got so bundled with Akonadi and friends. I ended up reverting to 11.4 and have been there since then. However, I can't help but feel like I'm not enjoying any advances in KMail and other applications on openSUSE, given I'm on a release that is no longer being supported. My main issue is KMail. Does anyone know whether the migration from KMail on 11.4 to KMail on 12.3 is now behaving? One issue I saw was some kind of problem between how KMail and KWallet are integrated in 12.3. Any useful feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks. Cheers, Mark. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No Internet access after processor upgrade
by rm＠crescentconstruction.com 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Opensuse list, I'm using openSUSE 12.1 (64 bit); KDE 4.7.2 I just upgraded the motherboard and processor to: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 - motherboard AMD FX -8120 Processor Nvidia GeForce GT 610 Graphics card The system boots fine. Its connected via the ethernet to a local cisco router that has internet access. I can log into the router at 192.168.1.1 and access all of the router functions, so it would seem the network card, drivers, etc. are all functioning. For some reason, web browsers will connect to all the LAN devices (router, printer, scanner) but will not connect to WAN. I disabled the firewall. I checked the etc/resolv.conf file and it seems to be correctly writing 192.168.1.1 as the nameserver and 209.18.47.61 and 62 as the DNS entries. any ideas are appreciated, thanks, Regis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Thunderbird problems
by Jim Sabatke 18 Aug '13

18 Aug '13

I've searched Thunderbird lists and have not found anything related to Linux lockups like I am having. I am running Suse 12.2 and just upgraded to Thunderbird 17.0.7. I have had this problem beginning several versions ago, for about the last year. The symptoms are: - I get "cannot connect to gmail server" errors. I have about a dozen gmail accounts active in Thunderbird and it doesn't say which account. I do get mail from some of them, but I haven't been able to determine if it is with a certain account. Some accounts do have very large amounts of emails in multiple folders. - Starting Thunderbird, very often it "locks up" and I cannot scroll up and down the list of accounts. Waiting for an hour or more doesn't help. - Even if I can scroll and select an account, often selecting a new email locks up that account. The selected message will not display, but I can usually select another account and read mail normally. - Often when replying to a message, the new message's input locks up after one or a few characters. I hate this solution, especially as it reeks of the typical Windows "fix" with killing processes or rebooting. Killing the Thunderbird processes, often requiring that to be done 6-10 times often restores full functionality. Sometimes that doesn't work at all and often rebooting "fixes" it. Any direction or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] BT Sport on openSUSE
by michael norman 18 Aug '13

18 Aug '13

As a BT subscriber I have activated the BTSport app. Not entirely to my surprise when I just tried to watch the first live game using Firefox it told me it won't run without Silverlight. So a question : can I get Silverlight to run on openSUSE (using 12.3 64 bit) ? Will Moonlight do this, and if so can I get it to run on Firefox or Chrome ? I have not done any research on this yet as I am shortly going out to a live football match. I thought I'd just try it to see if it works. FWIW I have it running on a W7 box at the moment and its no great shakes on there having dropped out a couple of times already, and this running BT Infinity on a well maintained quite high spec box. It is my son's gaming box and is no slouch. Any thoughts about the central issue ie can I do it with Moonlight or something else on openSUSE ? I know I could run it on Windows in a vm or get the BT tv box but I'm not that bothered to do either of those things.
