[opensuse] KDEnlive doesn't render
by Stefan Gofferje 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Hi, I am using KDEnlive now for the first time since I upgraded from 12.1 to 12.3 and I have a bit of a problem. When i try to render a project to file, first of all, a video preview window appears - what didn't before. Then the window shows in big and pixely writing "INVALID" in the background, while subtitles and such are shown correctly. The render job window shows "estimated time" pretty much deceasing in real time but stopping at 00:02 left while melt is continuing to be busy in the background. I let it run for 2 hours, then cancelled it. The rendering job was a 4:48 minutes short h.264 clip where I put some titles and then wanted to render it out to h.264. I ran KDEnlive from the console to see if there's any suspicious output but there wasn't. It seems to start the rendering and stuff normally. Does anybody have an idea what's going on there? And why do I get that rendering preview window anyways? -Stefan -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje | SCLT, MCP, CCSA //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | VCP #2263 V_/_ Heckler & Koch - the original point and click interface

[opensuse] Qt Warning related to Compose file of libX11-data
by Andi Sugandi 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

Hi all, There is a project called ignsdk*, and it has 2 packages built on OBS (ignsdk-devtools and ignsdk): http://software.opensuse.org/package/ignsdk-devtools http://software.opensuse.org/package/ignsdk Unfortunately, I find an issue on testing the binary: > ignsdk --version "Qt Warning - invalid keysym: dead_actute" IGNSDK Version : "1.1.3" The warning seems familiar with the bug report on freedesktop: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69476 Because editing manually the: "/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose" file (from libX11-data package) will solve the issue. So I think we should encourage the maintainer of libX11-data package to get the patch and let it built the newer one, and then the zypper up will automagically fix the issue of ignsdk. What do you think? Is it still needed to fill BNC? *) http://ignsdk.web.id/ Thanks in advance. -- Andi Sugandi. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi All. There is a kernel repo. called stable standard at: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard. Is it safe to use kernel from this repo?

[opensuse] MySQL and apache2 httpd server weirdness
by Ted Byers 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

OK, here is the situation. I have two machines running OpenSuse. The only DVD I have that has OpenSuse is for version 12.3. On the one machine, which had been running Windows 7 (a very nice OS IMHO), the only hard drive failed. As I had no install disks for Windows, I decided to install OpenSuse on it, once I replaced the drive. That went fine, and as OpenSuse 13.1 was out, I used the live install method to upgrade that machine immediately (i.e. before I installed any applications and before I put any data on it (while I had the ISO image for 13.1, none of my DVD writers produced a viable DVD; i.e. each of my DVD writers had a hardware problem). Anyway, that upgrade went fine. Once complete, I installed al of the applications and libraries I normally use. I then tested the installation of the Apache webserver, including especially it's ability to execute my cgi scripts, which are written in Perl. That worked fine. I then tested my installation of MySQL, and that, too worked fine. On the second machine, it has been running 12.3 for a while; at least since early fall. Alas, when I checked it's ability to run my cgi scripts, it refused to run them: and the information in the error log is especially uninformative. I have been spending an inordinate amount of time reviewing the configuration files, without finding anything awry. Since version 13.1 seemed faster, and since everything related to the two server applications I normally use, worked OOTB on the other machine, I decided to upgrade this machine to 13.1 too. Now, here is the weird part. On the two machines, precisely the same applications are installed, and the identical suite of perl and apache modules or packages are installed; and the configuration files for apache2 are identical. And yet, my cgi scripts run flawlessly on the first described above and they still fail on the second. And, before you ask, yes, the cgi scripts in question are identical. How is that possible? Equally important is, 'How do I fix the second machine? NB: On the second machine, it is only my cgi perl scripts that are not executed. ALL of my perl scripts that are intended to be executed within bash, or as scheduled tasks, work perfectly. I do not know if it is a coincidence or not, but MySQL works on the first machine described above, and it worked on 12.3 on the second, but after the upgrade to 13.1, MySQL refuses to start, with the only intelligible thing in the logs related to this is a complaint about having upgraded MySQL from an older version (which seems rather silly). For now, I have put all my databases into MySQL running on my Ubuntu box, but I would like to be able to fix this one OpenSuse box so that both the Apache2 and MySQL servers work on it also. I'd hazard a guess that to get to the bottom of this, you may need additional information, but you'll need to tell me what, and how to get at it. I don't think my apache2 configuration files would be very useful, as they are identical on the two machines, and all works flawlessly on the one (though, they would be if the same problem existed on both). How do I proceed to sort this out? Thanks Ted -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Intermittent sound dropouts with Pulseaudio
by Bob Williams 01 Jan '14

01 Jan '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For a long time, I have noticed that the sound intermittently drops out for a few seconds, since pulseaudio became standard with openSUSE. This seems to be triggered by other events, such as moving files especially with Digikam, but also with Krusader or Dolphin. Fetching mail with Thunderbird sometimes does it, and sometimes it just happens - - presumably a 'behind the scenes' housekeeping job interferes). My current setup is: openSUSE 12.3 KDE 4.11.4 Music playback through mpd Skype 4.2.0.11 The soundcard is MCP51 High Definition Audio and is integrated on the motherboard. The processor is 2.5GHz quad core, with 8GB RAM. Graphics output is through an nVidia GeForce 9600GT card driven by the proprietary nVidia drivers. I finally decided to nail this, and carefully worked through the advice on these two pages: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Perf… http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Desktops/KDE/ Most of my setup appeared to be correct. My mpd.conf contains the following: audio_output { type "pulse" name "My MPD Pulse Output" server "localhost" # optional sink "alsa_output" # optional } and I added ~/.asoundrc, which consists of: pcm.pulse { type pulse } ctl.pulse { type pulse } Has anyone else experienced similar problems with pulseaudio, and if so, do you have any recommended tweaks?

[opensuse] 13.1: gvim broken
by Rich Coe 01 Jan '14

01 Jan '14

I just upgraded to opensuse 13.1. I haven't noticed any problems except with gvim. When you type in gvim or cursor over any character or redraw the screen with control-L the text disappears. If I move the mouse out of the window, the window redraws ok, until I start typing in the windows again. I don't know specifically if it's a vim problem, I'm only noticing a problem with gvim, not any other programs. Any ideas on how to fix this issue? -- Rich Coe rcoe(a)wi.rr.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Dependency Nightmare!
by Basil Chupin 01 Jan '14

01 Jan '14

I recall mentioning not too long ago about the dependency errors which keep coming up in 13.1 - but I don't remember in which list I mentioned it nor do I remember what the answer (if any) was. I raise the issue again because I just cannot fathom what the heck I am supposed to do to resolve these dependency problems which YaST keeps spitting out at me. I am trying to get VLC to play not only Blu-ray files but now I found out that it won't even play files downloaded from YouTube. All files are playable in 12.3 but NOT in 13.1 - and I cannot figure out why. Below is a list of the repositories which I have in my 13.1 installation (on a Desktop): http://susepaste.org/78522541 and here is a list of the dependency errors which YaST so graciously shows me (but doesn't tell me which option to choose): http://susepaste.org/44273137 Can anyone, please, tell me which options I should choose to rid myself of these dependency hassles? (BTW, running zypper shows me that many files "will not be updated" which appear to be ones which are shown in the YaST list above.)
