[opensuse] oS 12.3 and postfix start at boot
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

I have a rather standard oS 12.3 machine. When I reboot, postfix never starts. I see: # rcpostfix status Checking for service Postfix: dead postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service; enabled) Active: inactive (dead) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/postfix.service Sep 30 10:47:29 acme systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Postfix Mail Transport Agent. I can immediately restart it and it starts fine. So whatever the dependency is has been resolved by the time I log in. How can I find out which dependency failed? -- Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST / Systems Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer(a)ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

Does anybody which applications will easily download the videos from a Panasonic TZ35 camera? It stores them in a separate directory structure from the pictures. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Thunderbird and Firefox
by Marc Chamberlin 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

I dunno where to start with this question, but since it appears to be Linux oriented, I will ask here and perhaps either get an answer or a pointer to the right place to ask..... Recently I noted that when I click on a link in an email, in my Thunderbird client, it is no longer launching Firefox, or if Firefox is already running it is not bringing up the URL in a new tab like it use to do. I have done some internet searching and applied such suggestions as to set - user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "/usr/bin/firefox"); user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/firefox"); user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/usr/bin/firefox"); in the prefs.js file for my Thunderbird profile, but still no joy. Anyone have any ideas/pointers on how to get this feature working again? Thanks in advance..

[opensuse] Scrollbar arrows inT'bird and FF
by Anton Aylward 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

I use KDE. I also use Thunderbird and Firefox, which are not really KDE applications. All my KDE applications have scroll bars with little arrows at the top and bottom. I can click on those arrows to make the contents scroll. Nothing new here ... But the scroll bars in T'Bird and FF don't have those arrows. I gather that T'Bird and FF are more gnome-friendly than KDE friendly and that the config for such things as scroll bar arrows will be in some Gnomic feature and not in KDE's settings. But I don't run Gnome or have Gnome installed. I can't see setup/controls for this within FF/T'bird. Where/what to I have to look/do to set up the little arrows without having to install more of Gnome? -- How long did the whining go on when KDE2 went on KDE3? The only universal constant is change.

[opensuse] OS 12.3 + KDE Bluetooth Send File Fail
by John Andersen 29 Sep '13

29 Sep '13

I am able to send and receive files via Bluetooth to/from various andorid Phones and Tablets to/from my Windows 7 and Windows 8 and my Linux computers. My Linux box can RECIEVE files from Windows 7 or Windows 8. But each attempt to SEND files to Windows 7 or 8, the file transfer takes place (progress bars appear on both machines) but then a screen pops on the windows machine up saying that the Bluetooth File Transfer Not Complete on the windows machine. The Linux machine does not recognize a failure, and shows the transfer complete. What is different about a file transfer FROM OpenSUSE KDE to windows than any other file transfer that causes windows to believe it was not complete? Where would I even start looking for this? -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Very ODD Bluetooth issue on openSUSE 12.3!
by Marco Calistri 29 Sep '13

29 Sep '13

Dear openSuSers, The oddity of this issue is verging the incredible!: I have a Nokia Lumia 710 smart-phone, running WP-7.8 and I tried to send a picture from it to my laptop which is running openSUSE 12.3 64 bits, both from being logged in KDE or Gnome DE, but never the picture is sent to the computer. I have of course enabled the file sharing and reviewed all the configuration of Blue-tooth, but nothing to do: openSUSE refuses to accept and download the picture from the smart-phone. On the contrary, I can send blue-tooth files from openSUSE to the smart-phone, despite it doesn't happens always, in fact sometimes I get this error from /var/log/warn: 2013-09-29T12:45:51.687358-03:00 linux-turion64 obex-client[2345]: Connection refused (111) 2013-09-29T12:46:49.535361-03:00 linux-turion64 obex-client[2345]: last message repeated 4 times 2013-09-29T12:46:49.535062-03:00 linux-turion64 obex-client[2345]: Too many levels of symbolic links (40) Then I wanted to test a dumb thing: I have an Ubuntu 10.4 virtual-machine running on this openSUSE 12.3 then I decided to enable Blue-tooth in there and I configured it to share files with the Lumia 710 strange to see that now everything works perfectly! (both sides: sending/receiving) Then where is the problem now? kernel? desktop? policy rules/permissions? broken rpm packages?

Re: [opensuse] Improved performance with NVidia drivers

The others violate the license terms of the Linux kernel. They get away with it by being ignored and not interesting targets to sue; RHT or SUSE would not fall through the gaps.

[opensuse] Missing of a better power management for laptop
by Marco Calistri 28 Sep '13

28 Sep '13

Hello OpenSuSers, IMHO, we are missing an acoustic alarm as well as a really working hibernate or suspend function in 12.3. It is very annoying being sudden logged out by the system powering down without the possibility to be warned in advance (by acoustic alarm) or to restart exactly from the point wherein you have been logged off by critical battery level. So far I'm experiencing these issues in my opensuse 12.3. Sorry to have to admit thhat ones again Windows appears to be more versatile on this matter.

[opensuse] MS Lync and video conferencing
by Roger Oberholtzer 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

I just installed pidgin and pidgin-sipe on openSUSE 12.3. I was actually able to access our company's MS message system. I can do chat and IM. Quite happy with that. Does anyone know if it is possible to do video with MS Lync users from a Linux client? I searched a bit but nothing looked like it. Maybe I am using the wrong search phrases. -- Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST / Systems Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer(a)ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
