[opensuse] Intermittent slowness on 13.1-64
by Lew Wolfgang 25 Oct '14

25 Oct '14

Hi Folks, Has anyone noticed an intermittent overall balkiness with 13.1-64? Has that issue with journald on spinning media been fixed yet? I've seen this a couple of times now, but haven't been able to zero in on the cause yet. I'm trying setting "Storage=volatile" in /etc/systemd/journal.conf to see if it makes a difference.

I branched from 13.1 OSS, then deleted 1.2.0 - source yasm-no-build-date.patch yasm-no-rpm-opt-flags.patch Re-worked/uploaded new yasm-no-build-date.patch yasm-no-rpm-opt-flags.patch yasm.spec 1.3.0 source Triggered rebuild - all good Now what are you saying is all I need to do is hit "submit" on the package overview page after this is done? (site has always been horribly unintelligible to me). I always wondered where "submit" would submit the package. I tried submitting to openSUSE:13.1:Update (1 Repo Shown), and all I got was a big red banner saying: "Unable to submit" Outsmarted by a web-page once again.... -- David C.

[opensuse] automatic KDE configuration ?

I'm sure there must be an underlying xml file somewhere. I need to configure KDE / a KDE plugin (libreoffice tooltip) to show the right values in tooltips in Dolphin. I want to do this during installation with a script. (with the intent of doing it with autoyast at a later date). I suspect it can be accomplished by editing an XML file somewhere, can someone tell me where? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OS13.2 RC1: Network manager not running
by JC Francois 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

I just installed OS13.2 RC1 in a virtualbox. The network-manager icon is visible in the System tray with a red x next to it. When I hover over the icon it says "NetworkManager not running". When I click on the icon I see that no connection is configured. But I am connected and ifconfig reports: enp0s3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:94:95:0D inet addr:10.0.2.15 Bcast:10.0.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fe94:950d/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:498 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:493 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:147902 (144.4 Kb) TX bytes:51504 (50.2 Kb) If I go in Yast2 > Services Manager I see that NetworkManager is disabled/inactive. The attempt to enable/activate seems to fail with: Could not enable NetworkManager: NetworkManager.service - Network Manager loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) However after a reboot Network Manager is active and working as expected. -- /~JC -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Trackball speed?
by Thomas Taylor 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

I have been unable to adjust the pointer speed for a Kensington M01047 Trackball Orbit with scroll ring. In KDE when I adjust the pointer speed in desktop configuration it does NOT change pointer speed of the ball movement. I would like to be able to slow the pointer motion of the ball. Any suggestions where I could adjust that speed? Thanks, Tom -- Failure seldom stops you.

[opensuse] Error starting Wireshark via SSH
by James Knott 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

I frequently run Wireshark over SSH. One thing I've noticed is I'll often get an error: "# The program 'wireshark' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'. (Details: serial 251 error_code 10 request_code 130 minor_code 1) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)" Once I've received that message, I can then give the command again to start Wireshark and it runs fine. Any idea what might be causing this? I'm running openSUSE 13.1 on both ends. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] when is data physically written to disk (Reiserfs)?
by Daniel Bauer 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Hello I'd like to know when data that should be written is really written physically to the disk. I use OS 12.3, Reiserfs (with encrypted LV for /home, /root, /swap, on 1 drive and separate encrypted drive outside LVM) Several times after switching off without properly shutting down (after power fail) and rebooting I noticed that there were many systemd-fsck[720]: Trans replayed:... Trans replayed: mountid... even when the computer was not doing anything before the switch-off occurred. Like today: the computer was "on" during the night, but without doing anything, in the early morning the electricity was cut off and so I had to reboot and I got hundreds of "replay"-messages... I thought, data would be written to the disk physically and definitively at least in moments when the computer has nothing else to do, but how comes that after hours of being idle there still remains so much to replay? Is this normal? Should I check some settings? Thanks for explanation or hints...

[opensuse] v12.3 and html5
by Dave Smith 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Hi, I am using v12.3. Recently I have been encountering more html5 videos on the internet. They do not work well in either chromium or firefox. They will not play until the video is completely loaded which for some reason takes significantly longer than flash and there is no sound. I have high speed internet and have no problems with anything else, just html5. How can I get this working? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
