[opensuse] "mysqld_safe" works, "systemctl start mysql.service" doesn't
by Brian Sammon 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

[mariadb 5.5.33-2.2 on OpenSuse x86_64 13.1, with some factory and some 13.2 packages] When I start mysql with "mysqld_safe", it runs, but when I try to start it via "systemctl start mysql.service", it does not. I suppose my questions are: 1) Am I right in expecting those two things to do the same thing? 2) Should I care that they don't, or just go ahead and use "mysqld_safe"? 3) If I do care, what do I do next? Can I increase the verbosity of the logging? When I use the systemctl method, I can't find any log files or information to tell me what went wrong. "systemctl status mysql.service" says: mysql.service - LSB: Start the MySQL database server Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/mysql) Active: active (exited) since Thu 2014-11-13 14:50:32 EST; 30min ago Process: 4320 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/mysql stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 4352 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/mysql start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Nov 13 14:50:32 mymachine mysql[4352]: Starting service MySQL ..done This is a dev machine for Ruby on Rails development, which had been installed with 13.1. Up until 2 days ago, this had been running without reboot for a few weeks, with mariadb running nonstop during that time. In the last few days, I thought it would be a good idea (Danger, Will Robinson! ) to upgrade some of my packages (mostly the ones that were factory versions) to the 13.2 versions. This ended up including a reboot, whereupon I found myself in my current dilemma, not knowing the right way to start mariaDB. P.S. Someone looking over my shoulder said "You're mixing packages from two different versions[13.1 and 13.2] -- that's your problem right there -- you should never do that" Agree/disagree? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] The new purpose of KDE:Unstable:Extra repository
by Raymond Wooninck 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

Dear openSUSE KDE Users, More and more KDE Applications are now being ported to KF5. Given the number of these in-progress ports, the openSUSE community KDE team has decided to use the KDE:Unstable:Extra repository for these packages. In the next hour or so the cleaned up repository will be published with a number of ported KDE Applications in there, besides a number of KDE 4 based applications that are still seeing some heavy developments. Please find below the overview of targets against which KDE:Unstable:Extra is building and what type of packages are provided. The stable version of the KDE 4 based applications can be found in the KDE:Extra repository. The following repositories will only build the git snapshots of the KDE4 based applications like amarok, kdevelop4, kphotoalbum and homerun. openSUSE_12.3/KDE:Current users: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Extra/KDE_Current_… openSUSE_13.1/KDE:Current users: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Extra/KDE_Current_… openSUSE_13.1 users: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Extra/openSUSE_13.… The following repositories are building beside the above mentioned KDE4 based applications, also some of the Frameworks based applications like kate, kcalc, kdevelop5, etc. Please be aware that installing the KF5 based version of an application will automatically remove the KDE 4 based application openSUSE_13.2 users http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Extra/openSUSE_13.… openSUSE_Tumbleweed users: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Extra/openSUSE_Tum… openSUSE_Factory/KDE:Unstable:Frameworks users: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Extra/KDE_Unstable… Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Quick question re: new versions of SLES/openSuse and booting
by Christopher Myers 13 Nov '14

13 Nov '14

Just out of curiosity - In the past it was usually recommended to have a separate /boot partition, and for that partition to be the first one of the disk. However, I've noticed that in openSuSE 13.2 and SLES 12 that the default now is to not create this partition, and to instead install the bootcode into "/" directly, with /boot being a subfolder of the root partition. Has something changed with regards to "best practices," or is there another reason that this is the default now?

[opensuse] upgrade to 13.2 kills printing

[opensuse] KDE for SLED?

Hi All, I'm asking just out of curiosity, I do not want to start flame wars and I do not have any strong feelings towards it as I'm not the target audience, as openSUSE fulfils my needs better than enterprise-grade desktop. So, from my ignorant point of view it always seemed like KDE is the strongest point of SUSE amongst all linux distributions. And then suddenly I discover that SLED offers gnome instead. Why decision was made to use gnome instead of kde? Have I missed something important or it's just some single showstoper feature that forced move to gnome (like evolution-ews probably?)? -- Regards, Stas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Number of specific repositories instead of single uber-repository
by Stanislav Baiduzhyi 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Hi All, Is there a way to have multiple specific repositories for stable release instead of single uber-repository with all existing packages? I think it has number of advantages for users who want to use updated repositories instead of default one, and I'm not sure about it but probably it will remove some packaging work to move all the needed stuff from other repositories to default repository... Because time and time again I'm facing the same issue, the last time was just yesterday: 1. Add KDE:Qt54 repository. 2. Set its priority to 50. 3. Add KDE:Extra repository. 4. Install qupzilla-qt5, and maybe some one more qt5-specific package. At that moment most probably Qt components will be mixed between version 5.3.2 that comes from default repository and 5.4.git that comes from KDE:Qt54 repository. The same situation was with networkmanager plasmoid in 13.1, as well as with yast packages before it moved to higher version. I understand that default repository has to have Qt5 of some version, but is it possible for the default repository to be just aliases and links to number of small repositories with all required stuff? -- Regards, Stas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] x2go not working with OSS 132
by Moby 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

I had a number of machines running xfce remotely via x2go. Since the upgrade to OSS 13.2, that has stopped working. x2go sessions are configured on the clients (primarily windows clients) to launch custom desktop /usr/bin/xfce4-session. After upgrading to OSS 132, the sessions appears to start, and then terminates without ever painting the desktop or presenting anything. It "appears" to start because the client notifies that a "new session has been established". The same happens with GNOME and KDE sessions. I am able to start xterm via x2go just fine. Then, if I execute xfce4-session or startxfce in the xterm, I can see the xfce desktop load, except that each window and application seems to be loaded into a separate desktop and none of the windows can be given focus or typed into. Is anyone able to successfully use x2go on oss132 with xfce? It all worked fine with prior oss versions, I am going to try a downgrade of one of the test machines and see if it starts working again.

[opensuse] OSS 13.2 experiences
by Moby 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Some thoughts on my experiences in upgrading from OSS 13.1 to 13.2, in case other people are pondering upgrades or see similar issues ... Upgraded my laptop. This is an ancient Toshiba Satellite with Radeon Xpress. Ran beautifully with opensuse since version 12.1. I have been upgrading it with each release with no issues at all. Upgraded it to 13.2. No problems during the upgrade. Everything runs fine except that I have an annoying screen flicker now that I cannot get rid of. The screen flickers about once every 5 seconds. Not unlivable, but annoying. Setting nomodeset on kernel boot options removes the flicker, but then leaves me with a much worse screen resolution, which makes the machine unusable. This laptopn runs XFCE. Upgraded a physical desktop machine. This machine has seen life starting as opensuse 11.X. I have been upgrading it with each major release. This machine is primarily used remotely via remote GUI (used to be VNC, then Nomachine's NX, then FreeNX, then x2go.) Machine ran beautifully with xfce remotely via x2go with no issues. Since the upgrade, the x2goclient cannot launch xfce, gnome, nor kde. I can start xterm via x2go, and then start xfce from within xterm, but I do not get the full desktop, and each application seems to try to launch in a separate desktop and freezes. No resolution so far. Tried FreeNX, and got KDE to work with FreeNX, but still cannot gnome or xfce to work remotely. Test machine built with oss 13.2 from scratch. I build this as a VM primarily to troubleshoot issues I am seeing with the machine above. I see the same issues here, x2go does not launch any desktop. Once I resolve the GUI issues, I plan on playing with btrfs. If the GUI isses cannot be resolved, I may downgrade the laptop and the physical desktop machine back to oss13,1 and wait out 13.2 Regards, -- --Moby They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Chromebook C720 touchpad configuration in 13.2

Looks like the fixes for it involve patching the kernel by hand, which I'm ok with.

[opensuse] Installing xsane
by A. den Oudsten 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

Installed 13.2 and upgraded to tumbleweed with the zypper dup procedure. Installed (very diificult) xsane. Starting xsane gave the message 'Error during CMS conversion. Could not open scanner ICM profile' After three times clicking away this message I got the possibility to touch the 'preview' button. Again three times the same message and after getting a preview the same. The same for scanning. At filing the scan I got the message 'Failed to execute OCR command: gocr. File or map does not exist' How can I solve this? Thanks, André den Oudsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Drobbox
by John Andersen 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

Since 13.2, my dropbox installed from Opensuse repro always asks for an account name and password upon each login. In prior versions this use to retain its password somewhere, probably in the kde key locker. I'd like not to have to remember that password and type it all the time. My /home is encrypted, that is the major difference I see here. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] httpd won't go away
by Ruben Safir 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

I was trying to debug an apache application and I NEED to see the output from odperl to stderr which goes straight to the error logs. I couldn't find the output anyway So I'm trying to stop and start apache and when I do, apache won't start because A) It says the socket is taken in systemd jaargon B) The logs are dlete... I deleted the damn logs on purpose but it was right, there was a mystory httpd process running after I killed the process. So I tried to killall hhttpd that just caused a regeneration systemctl stop httpd.service NOTHING - not even feedback Pull the F***ing plug Yeah that still works. I'm sure there is some ration reason and calming answer to why when I'm killing apache that systemd restarts it without my permision. and there has to be some other calming nice reason why even through systemctl, that it doesn't give any feedback or nor kill the httpd server. for me, I'm moving to Jupiter 1.

[opensuse] Btrfs: Error Upon Installation
by Sam M. 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

Hi, I installed btrfs over an EXT4 operating system partition (/), and I got a strange error message. The options the dialogue box gave pertaining to the error were Continue and Abort. I clicked Continue, and then I got a lengthy error message about a problem creating initrd. I clicked continue or ignore (I forget), and if I recall correctly the installation finished. I think when I rebooted the system, all I got was a black grub screen with a flashing cursor. Has anyone else gotten this? I installed btrfs on another test laptop and there were no problems. The drive I'm using has no bad sectors and passes SMART, so I don't think it's that. Here is the error message: "Failure occured during the following action: Formatting partition /dev/sda3 (20.00 GiB) with btrfs System error code was: -3043 /bin/mount -t btrfs -o subvolid=0,acl,user_xattr '/dev/sda3' '/tmp/libstorage-CDkTv4/tmp-mp-MB9Er9': mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try ...

[opensuse] printing colored pdf in grayscale or black and white
by Istvan Gabor 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

Hello: I have a pdf file with colored graphics but I have only a black and white printer. When printing the file the colored parts are almost invisibly pale. I would like to print the file in grayscale or black and white so that the colored parts would be visible. I have openSUSE 12.2 with KDE 3, and adobe reader 9 and kpdf. I could not find option to print in grayscale or black and white in either one. I remember that windows adobe reader has such option. How could I print the file in black and white in openSUSE?

[opensuse] Fresh 13.2 install fail - two problems - help please
by listreader 10 Nov '14

Howdy... :~> uname -a Linux msbmainhp.site 3.11.10-21-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 21 15:28:46 UTC 2014 (9a9565d) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Tried to do an install of 13.2 from DVD and I had a fail. I did a new/fresh install as I wanted to try the new brtfs/xfs default file systems. Problem #1: Install procedure almost completed but failed when it tried to install the bootloader. The pop-up box message was: "An error occurred during boot loader installation. Retry boot loader configuration? Yes No" I played around with the configuration, changed the bootloader location from MBR where it had defaulted to and moved it to the Extended Partition (where my current 13.1 bootloader resides), tried setting the Active Flag (it was not already set), tried Write generic Boot Code to MBR (it was not already set), etc., but no go, same message. So then I just answered NO and the install finished, system rebooted, and my old 13.1 bootloader appeared. All my various existing OS boots were there but no 13.2 option. Problem #2: I booted into 13.1 and looked at the new 13.2 brtfs and xfs partitions. The brtfs looks fine, or at least I can browse what's in there. The xfs partition, though, appears broken. I had LUKS encrypted it during the install/format process but when I try to mount I get the familiar bad old message about: "Error mounting /dev/dm-2 at /run/media/(..snip..): Command-line `mount -t "xfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/dm-2" "/run/media/(..snip..)"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/luks-5fd1dd43-e7fc-(..snip..), missing codepage or helper program, or other error" dmesg shows this additional interesting info: [ 2227.799239] XFS (dm-2): Version 5 superblock detected.

I tried "xfs_repair -n" (from 13.1) on all 3 possiblities: the normal device (/dev/sdb8), the dm device number shown in the above message (dm-2), and the mapper device also in the above message (/dev/mapper/luks-5fd1dd43-e7fc-(..snip..) but it just goes off hunting endlessly for an alternate superblock.

You, aaron, are just adding to the confusion and tying to play this as a systemd problem when systemd had nothing to do with it.

Hi Folks, Does anyone have any suggestions for automated backups of heterogeneous desktops these days?

Years ago I used Samba's smbclient to copy shared Windows XP directories to a central Linux box under cron control, but I'm not sure that's the best way for incremental backups and it might not even work any more.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, bcache is like a huge hd disk cache residing in a flash disk. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcache> +++······································ bcache is a Linux kernel's block layer cache (hence the name, block cache), developed by Kent Overstreet. It allows one or more fast storage devices such as flash-based solid-state drives (SSDs) to act as a cache for one or more slower hard disk drives, effectively creating hybrid volumes. It is designed around the performance characteristics of SSDs, minimizing write amplification by never performing random writes and by turning them into sequential writes instead – for both the cache and the primary storage. That helps in extending the lifetime of flash-based devices used as caches, and also improves performance of write-sensitive primary storages, like RAID 5. ······································++- Has some one tried it in openSUSE?

[opensuse] Updating VMware Workstation 10
by Koenraad Lelong 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Hi, I have VMworkstation 10.0.2. I'm trying to update it to the latest version (10.0.4), but it seems not to work. Via the Workstation GIU it just hangs, via the command-line I can't get past the license. The same happens with 10.0.3.

[opensuse] openSUSE 13.2 and nvidia Quadro FX 560?
by John Young 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

I have an old Sun Ultra-20 with an nVidia Quadro FX 560 graphics card. I just upgraded to openSUSE 13.2 yesterday and now I cannot get my dual monitors to work properly. The website https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers says that drivers for the GeForce FX cards are available for openSUSE 13.1 and older only. Has anyone gotten the nouveau driver working with dual monitors and openSUSE 13.2 on an nvidia Quadro FX or do I have to figure out how to drop back to openSUSE 13.1? -- JY ------------------------------------------------------------ John E.

[opensuse] Btrfs.. Whats the difference
by John Andersen 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

While installing 13.2 I let it use btrfs for root and xfs for /home partition. Then you get these nebulous message that says some of the subvolumes of root are shadowed by other filesystems. That message means that you have a subvolume named /home defined in the /root automatically, and also a /home partition. Better language is needed for that error message. The term "Duplicate directory" names comes to mind. "Shadowed" is not very descriptive. But then I began to wonder why btrfs defines subvolumes instead of letting the system define sub-directories? Whats the difference in functionality? Are these sub-volume sizes fixed? Is it just part of the snapshot process? What's up with that? -- _____________________________________ ---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] Btrfs on SSD
by Dylan 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

Hi All, Having an SSD in my machine, I usually have /var, /srv, and /tmp mounted on spinning drives to preserve the life of the SSD. I noticed when doing a trial install of 13.2 in a VM that (parts of) these directories seem to be mounted as separate subvolumes, even though in that installation they are all on the same (virtual) partition. /home, of course, is not a problem as it's a separate FS for different reasons. How should I go about getting these subvolumes on a separate drive as required. Basically, which parts of the documentation and which commands would be most useful to read to achieve this, or would it be better/easier to simply mount them as separate FSs as I do now?

Everytime I launch it, it says [drm:cpt_set_fifo_underrun_reporting] *ERROR* uncleared pch fifo underrun on pch transcoder A [drm:cpt_serr_int_handler] *ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO underrun After that, login screen starts showing, but it takes very long (actually, I waited until login screen just once, most times I just rebooted PC after 2 or so minutes). When I got trough it once, speed went to normal, but I was getting a lot of artefacts (duplicated mouse cursors, hovered buttons lags...). After a little bit of googling, I found out that problem is between Kernel and Intel graphic cards (PC specification at end). So I would like to know, if there is some way to make operating system always use my nVidia card, or to somehow update kernel to a version that doesn't have this problem (if there is any). Or maybe there is some other solution for this problem. Thanks in advance.

[opensuse] KDE repository changes based on openSUSE 13.2/Tumbleweed/KDE 4.14
by Raymond Wooninck 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

Dear openSUSE KDE user, With openSUSE 13.2, the 4.14.2 release for KDE 4 was shipped. Like with every openSUSE release, the openSUSE KDE team will provide the 4.14.x updates through the normal maintenance channel to oS 13.2 users. For oS 12.3 and 13.1 users, these updates will appear in the KDE:Current repository. 4.14 is the last release of the so-called Software Compilation. Upstream has started an effort to port applications to Qt5 and the KDE Frameworks 5 (KF5), and on top of that libraries, the workspace (Plasma) and applications will follow separate release schedules. On top of that, the subsequent releases of the applications will feature also KF5 based software, and the number is rapidly increasing. In short an openSUSE 13.2 user would only require to add KDE:Extra as an additional resource in YaST/zypper to stay up-to-date regarding KDE packages. Below I will indicate in more details what the changes per repository will be. KDE:Current repository will remain as is and will not be enabled for openSUSE 13.2. As indicated that last KDE 4 release was shipped with oS 13.2 and will be kept up-to-date with maintenance updates. It would be useless to build KDE:Current for 13.2 and waste buildpower. KDE:Extra repository has been built for openSUSE 13.2 and people will be able to find here the latest released versions of KDE applications that are not part of the KDE SC. Of course we will also enable the build for the new Tumbleweed repository. KDE:Distro:Factory repository is the devel project for Factory and will not be build anymore for anything else than Factory. All other build targets will be removed within the next few days. KDE:Unstable:SC repository will disappear as that there will be no new major release for KDE 4. KDE:Unstable:Extra repository will slowly make the shift to build those KDE packages that are currently being ported to KDE Frameworks, This also includes applications that are part of the KDE SC. This repository will be build against KDE:Frameworks5 and KDE:Unstable:Frameworks KDE:Qt repository will remain as is. openSUSE 13.2 will not be added as an additional build target as that the current Qt 4.8.6 release is also most likely the last release for Qt 4. In the case that we will see a newer Qt 4 release, then we will provide the update here and enable the build for openSUSE 13.2. If this Qt 4 update will also be provided as a Maintenance Update for 13.2 has to been seen. KDE:Frameworks5 repository has already been enabled for openSUSE 13.2. KDE:Unstable:Frameworks repository will build for openSUSE 13.1 and openSUSE 13.2 periodically.

[opensuse] other firefox behaviour
by Hans Witvliet 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

Hi, I followed with interest the thread of Per. Last week I observed something else that surprised me. With openvpn I also use keys&certificates on client and servers. And no matter what you use on the client, it is the the peer at the other end, that decides if it will accepts the connection or not based on: - ca-trust-chain - revocation list - validity (date-range) of the certificate. With firefox I saw something different behaviour: I tried to go to a ssl-server, with client-cert-authentication enabled. Much to my surprise, the client directly refused, saying that my cert expired two weeks ago. tcpdump on either side proved that no data was sent along the line A warning should be OK, but a plain refusal by firefox feels like big brother is taking control. It may ask several layers deep about security-exception, and whether i am very-very-very-sure about it. But in the end it should have been MY decision, not firefox. Or am I that mistaken?

[opensuse] bug 885655 - can someone with the right permissions please summarize it?
by Per Jessen 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

See http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=885655 specifically, I would like to understand the reasoning for adding 'yzpper' as a symlink to 'zypper'. The opposite is being done in bug#902398, where 'zast' was needlessly removed as a symlink to 'yast'. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.6°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] libre office and staroffice
by jdd 04 Nov '14

04 Nov '14

Hello, I just had to recover very old course (2002) written with staroffice, just to notice libreoffice do not anymore convert these files. I'm a bit paranoid about backups, so I could find in my archives a staroffice binary :-). Linux one didn't run (lack of some library, may be solvable, but I didn't even tried), but windows versions run perfectly under wine :-). I can convert sdw files to doc and open these with libreoffice. but if I can open sda (draw) files, I don't find any way to export them to *vector* graphics and libreoffice do not open them. do you know any way to convert staroffice draw to libreoffice draw? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Today, just a little while ago, openSUSE 13.2 was released. As we were not certain we were going to make it there is no mention of images in the public cloud in the news (https://news.opensuse.org/2014/11/04/opensuse-13-2-green-light-to-freedom/) . Well we made it in Amazon EC2 and GCE.

I had a testbed computer installed with factory. tried to instamm from dvd 64b When I choosed "update" (from the start menu, new :-), yast discovered the repositories, and asked to configure the network, but looped asking if I want to configure network, when initially, when installing, I was given the usual yast menu and network config worked like a charm. them, saying no, yast said that the system was not compatible and I had to leave.

[opensuse] Question about Desktop Effiects - I think
by Basil Chupin 03 Nov '14

03 Nov '14

Am using KDE 4.14.2 and have several Virtual Desktops each with its own set of widgets. I use each Virtual Desktop to run a specific application - eg, DE #2 will have Firefox and DE #3 will have some game running while DE #8 will have a TV program running. In oS 13.1 I can push the mouse cursor into the top-left corner of the screen and all running applications on all desktops become displayed on the desktop as 'miniature' screens and I can then click on any one these to bring them up to the forefront in full screen and work on the application on that desktop. Doing this I can switch from watching a TV program to posting a message - with the TV running in the background. Could someone please remind me what I did to be able to push the cursor into the top-left corner of the screen to be able to do the above? For the life of me I cannot remember what I did. At the moment all I can do is to push the cursor to either the left- or right-hand SIDES of the screen and move to the next desktop - but that's not what I want. Anyone throw a suggestion on what I did before and now forgot? :-) . Thanks.

I have been using 3.17.2 from the kernel stable OBS repo with no issues but I do not need any proprietary firmware from ATI, NVIDIA, Broadcom etc so I am not a great test case. I am running 13.2 RC1 now and it is working well. It seems a little disappointing to release with out support for Lenovo hardware that is already on the market but 3.17 is relatively new and OBS is available for those who need it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Need to file a bug report - but to who?

Need advice on an issue regarding an oddity with Google Chrome, (Their package) running on my Opensuse machine with Xorg 7.6_1.16.1-356.2 from Opensuse Repositories. Obviously when anyone has such a bug report its a total corner case. My hardware, my video card, my distro, my version of X on My version of Chrome with My desktop environment. How can anybody be expected to run down such a bug, when even specifying ALL the particulars takes 5 paragraphs and TLDR kicks in around three? Problem is Jaggies (paint bugs) when running Chrome (Version 38.0.2125.111 (64-bit) from Their repository. Jaggies appear when resizing browser the window. \ But that is the ONLY program on this machine that shows the error. Firefox, Kong, Dolphin, etc all work just fine. But chrome jaggies, Bling On or Bling Off.
