[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?

[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.

[opensuse] 12.3 mkinitrd [MODULES] 'modinfo -k "3.7.10-1.16-default" -F supported' returned with an error
by Per Jessen 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

The message in $SUBJ is what I see when I run "mkinitrd -v -f network". openSUSE 12.3 had some problems with iSCSI and authentication, so when I install 12.3, I have to fiddle the iSCSI setup myself (the bug was fixed, but not in the installation system). I thought I had it working, but for some reason the default initrd (made by yast), doesn't include network support. So I rebuilt with network support (on an identical machine). On boot-up, iSCSI still isn't started, and when I tried to build the initrd with "-f iscsi", I am told that feature "iscsi" is not supported ?? It is listed in the man page, and the usage output from "mkinitrd -help", so I don't know quite how to interpret that. Regardless, I suspect $SUBJ is the real problem. It appears here: [MODULES] 12-network.sh: af_packet [MODULES] 12-network.sh: [MODULES] 12-network.sh: pci:v00008086d0000109Asv000015D9sd0000109Abc02sc00i00 [MODULES] 'modinfo -k "3.7.10-1.16-default" -F supported' returned with an error.

[opensuse] Repeated key syndrome
by Carlos E. R. 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I was doing nothing, watching the TV, which is a set on the wall behind the computer. Then I tried to look at something on the computer, and I typed "ctrl-alt-right". No response. The mouse responded, but not the keyboard. The lights in the keyboard (numeric block, upper case block), responded. But nothing on the screen. I typed ctrl-alt-f1, this worked. Immediately I saw in the screen this text: cer@Telcontar:~> Display all 6736 possibilities? (y or n) I had to type no, and same question. I maintained the "n" key pressed, and I go a non stop flow of the question and the answer. Somehow I pressed something, and I got a non-stop of "^[^[^[^[^[^[^[^[^[^[^[^[..." chars. If I typed something, it appeared interspersed. (I'm not sure if I saw this stream in the xterm before going to text mode or not) I unplugged the keyboard: non-stop flow of those chars! So it was not the keyboard hardware. I sshed-in from a laptop: I run top, nothing obvious. In the end, I had to reboot the computer. I could see the flow of chars somewhere in the stop sequence. Now things seem normal. What could have been the problem?

[opensuse] Long time loading initrd
by Dylan 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Hi All, How do I go about finding out what's going on with the initrd? On one of my machines (an 8-core unit with SSD root drive) there is a 5 second wait while loading initrd, and the rest of the boot process takes a further 5 seconds... On the other desktop (dual-core, standard HDs) and an old (3years+) netbook (celeron with old SSD) the initrd is loaded within a second. I'm working on the hypothesis that the main machine's initrd is doing or loading a lot more than on the other two machines, but how do I find out. In fact, since there is no separate /boot partition, I'm wondering if I even need the initrd? If not, how do I disable it? Cheers Dylan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
