[opensuse] Problem with Java SWT program (tuxguitar)
by Bob Williams 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For the past year or so I have been running tuxguitar on openSUSE 13.1, installed from the OSS repo. Just recently the program crashes when I press any of the tool bar buttons. By crash, I mean it just disappears. If I run it from the command line, it spits out a lot of messages, such as: (TuxGuitar:9809): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gclosure.c:697: unable to remove uninstalled invalidation notifier: 0x7f4c6b2e9d70 (0x7f4c7c8a53a0) (TuxGuitar:9809): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_closure_add_invalidate_notifier: assertion 'closure->n_inotifiers < CLOSURE_MAX_N_INOTIFIERS' failed A Google search directed me to this bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=407077 which is marked as Resolved/Fixed.

[opensuse] running a program before shutdown
by Benjamin 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

Hi everyone! I do have a small problem: I want to run unison before i log out of kde, so that my files are synchronized automatically. I created a .desktop file and placed it in /.kde4/shutdown/. The .desktop file is specified by the command: unison myprofile -batch I tried it, but it seems, that this doesn´t work, because nothing was synchronized after login in again. Although in the systemsettings in the category autostart, my .desktop is listed and set to logout. Any suggestions. Best Benjamin! ps.: I already tried it with a shell-scrpit, which i also placed in the shutdown folder, but this also didn´t work…

[opensuse] KDE on 13.2 loses ability to use OpenGL
by Olav Reinert 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

I own a Netbook based on an AMD Kabini chip, and I have installed openSUSE 13.2 on it. In general it runs great, but lately the KDE desktop has "lost" the ability to use OpenGL. Symptoms are sluggish graphics and rendering errors in window decorations. The deterioration is reproducible. After a fresh install (and I have done a couple), desktop effects are great. After a while, it loses the ability to do OpenGL compositing. I suspect it is caused by some package update. A) Right after installation: 1. Compositing type and Qt graphics system for desktop effects are "OpenGL 2.0" and "raster", respectively. 2. In KInfoCenter, in the OpenGL information module, it shows: -Vendor: X.Org -Renderer: Gallium 0.4 on AMD KABINI B) After a while, when OpenGL is no longer used, I get: 1. Compositing type and Qt graphics system for desktop effects are "Xrender" and "native", respectively. Attempts to switch to OpenGL compositing fails, it always reverts to Xrender. 2. In KInfoCenter, in the OpenGL information module, it shows: -Vendor: VMware, Inc. -Rendered: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.5, 128 bits) Does anyone have an idea what can cause this behaviour? Should I raise a bug report about this? Is there something I can do to work around it?

[opensuse] libreoffice and NFS ?
by Per Jessen 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

I'm hoping someone might recognise the situation - the fileserver has not been touched for at least a year, yet since the last couple of days, multiple clients are having problems when trying to save libreoffice documents. They can read etc, but as soon as you try to save, there's a sharing or permissions issue of some sort. Only with libreoffice, other apps have no issue. Does that ring a bell with anyone? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.9°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] Creating a list of DVB-T channels list for VLC
by Basil Chupin 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

Can anyone please tell me how to create a list of terrestrial TV channels to be able to watch TV using VLC? I have been using such a list for a very, very long time but two (2) days ago all our local channels changed frequencies following all the channels going digital (even though some were already digital, but now all are digital). I created the list of channels for VLC way back in the "dim past" but now I cannot remember how I did it. I cannot see anywhere in the docs for VLC where this is covered. So, if someone can help out here I would be grateful to hear from them. (I also have Kaffeine installed and that has its own in-built channel scanner to create a list for itself but it does NOT pickup all the channels it previously did. At the same time, all our normal TV sets/recorders have correctly scanned for all the (new) digital channel frequencies - only VLC and Kaffeine are out of the loop.)

[opensuse] openSUSE-13.1: at 17:00 system begins thrashing: What is cause?
by Philip Amadeo Saeli 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

Help! Every day the last few days at precisely 17:00, my openSUSE-13.1 system begins thrashing furiously and becomes unusable for 1-2 hours or so. I've been trying to figure out what runs at that time, but the system has again become too unresponsive for me to find out. Also, since it appears to be I/O bound, it doesn't show up in the "top" display. Yes, the system is using quite a bit of swap space presently, and I am not yet able to kill off any more processes to free up VM space (which I hope to do as soon as I have some spare cycles to take the time to do it). Yes, I'd very much like to have a system with more RAM, etc., but I do not have that now. If anyone has any idea what may be running at that time, I'd like to know. I know it is a long shot, but my system is currently unusable and I have a 1-2 hr wait before it again becomes usable (based on my experiences the past few days), so .... BTW, I'm sending this via another system.

[opensuse] Hp-printers
by John Andersen 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

Has anyone gotten hp printing to work with a fresh install of 13.2? I have a couple printers that really want to use hplip, but the version that comes with OS does not appear to support the plugin that enables double sided printing. Further it takes 4 pages for it to print a test page (it spreads it across four pages.) The hplip from HP site does not yet support 13.2. -- 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

Long ago I had to use nomodeset for NVidia 92.xxx driver (even older card), otherwise X wouldn't start. But in this case, as other guys explained, I had to re-build initramfs... and find out that the 173.xxxx series of NVidia drivers is not supported for new kernels (>3.15 something) and xorg (>1.12 or something like that).

[opensuse] simple warning: installing 13.2 on usb media

Hello, Just a word to warn you, installing openSUSE on a flash device plugged on an UEFI computer may be risky.

No data is lost, only the boot option and I'm still on the windows repair system (I hate it!!). I couldn't make yast repair the boot (yet) and prefere to fix windows first to prevent it from redestroying my linux :-) hint: It do not seems possible to direct grub-uefi to install itself on the flash device without touching the computer main install, and grub2 boot is ignored by a secureboot computer :-( jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Cannot get rid of nouveau driver in 13.2
by Mark Goldstein 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Hi, I have an old machine that I use as a "testbed". I've installed 13.2 (32 bit) on it and trying to configure it. It has relatively old GeForce FX card (5xxx) that does not have driver in rpm repository for 13.2 (why?) (it should be 173.something), so I had to go "hard way". I added "blacklist nouveau" to /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf and modeset.nouveau=0 to the grub2 line, but the nouveau is still loaded (as shown by lsmod). (The options added automatically by NVidia installer did not help either: it actually creates separate conf file in /etc/modprobe.d with blacklist nouveau and option modeset.nouveau=0). Is the recommendation in SDB:NVIDIA_the_hard_way obsolete? Anyone has experience with removing nouveau driver in 13.2?

[opensuse] Toshiba L55 laptop
by Thomas Taylor 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

My wife has bought an Toshiba L55 laptop and is wondering if openSUSE could be installed to dual boot on it. I came with Windows 7 pre-installed and no re-install DVD so would like suggestions before I attempt to install OS 13.1 on it. 'm thinking of making a Clonezilla disk image in case I mess something up. I managed to get into the BIOS and change the boot order to DVD > USB > hard disk. Originally it had hd first (to prevent installing others?). Does anyone know of any gotchas with this model laptop or special requirements? Thanks, Tom -- Failure seldom stops you.

[opensuse] 13.2 - java weirdness
by listreader 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

Howdy... :~> uname -a Linux msbhpmain.site 3.16.6-2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 20 13:47:22 UTC 2014 (feb42ea) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I have two versions of the java jre on my recent 13.2 install, 1.7.0_71 and 1.8.0_40. In "update-alternatives --config java" the setting is to "auto", which means 1.8.0_40 gets reported to inquiring apps and/or scripts. As this is a new install and I don't recall manually adding any version of java to it myself, I will assume this is all exactly as 13.2 installed it. Now, because a 3rd-party-written script failed when I moved it from my old 13.1 install over to the 13.2 one, I looked at this... With 1.8 as the "update-alternative": :~> java -version openjdk version "1.8.0_40" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-b10) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.40-b14, mixed mode) and with 1.7 as the "update-alternative": :~> java -version java version "1.7.0_71" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.3) (suse-1.1-x86_64) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode) So, with 1.8 the java version is reported as "openjdk version", while with 1.7 it is "java version". The script was looking for the string "java version" which it doesn't find when 1.8 is the option. Question: was this change in return-of-string intentional or is it a bug? The reason I ask whether it might be a bug is because, when exiting "update-alternatives" after selecting 1.8 or auto, the following warning message is displayed... update-alternatives: warning: skip creation of /usr/share/man/man1/policytool.1.gz because associated file /usr/share/man/man1/policytool-java-1.8.0-openjdk.1.gz (of link group java) doesn't exist ...which IS apparently a bug (?) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I also install PyQt and Python with the latest version. I have googled it a lot but I can't find the answer. Please let me know how can I fix it?

[opensuse] Firewall
by Paul Groves 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

Hi All, I have a problem that has been ongoing since 12.3 with openSUSE not being able to resolve hostnames on LAN. I have this issue at home and at work where I cannot type in the name of a computer or device into Firefox or dolphin, I have to type in the IP. (i.e. https://freenas will not work but https://192.168.0.10 will work). Ubuntu works fine once samba is enabled. I also have samba enabled on openSUSE and it does not work. I have also tried turning off SUSE Firewall and rebooting but still no change. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Read-only NTFS Disks?
by Lew Wolfgang 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hi Folks, I've got a customer who requires data to be delivered to him via multiple 2TB NTFS SATA disks. I've been labeling, building NTFS filesystems, and delivering his data for years using openSuSE. But he has a bad habit of not making copies of the data and has actually screwed things up to the point where I have to redo the data-sets and resend to him. He's now asking me to make the disks "read-only" to protect his data from himself. He doesn't want the admin on his end to mount the partitions read-only, he wants something inherent in, on, or around the disks to protect them. To the best of my knowledge, this isn't possible. Some really old IDE disks might have had read-only jumpers, but that was 20-years ago. I also found a read-only SATA flag using hwinfo, but even though set, both Linux and Win-7 ignore it and write anyway. There are also external forensic analysis write-block boxes that can be used, but I don't think the customer wants to go that far. Does anyone has any suggestions besides finding a new customer? Is there some kind of an immutable read-only flag in NTFS that might be twaddled if mounted on Windows?

[opensuse] When not to use Btrfs for /home?
by Stanislav Baiduzhyi 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hi All, I was little surprised that openSUSE went with Btrfs for / but with XFS for /home. So I have to ask this question: when and why I should *not* use Btrfs for /home? I've heard/read somewhere that Btrfs handles virtual machines badly, because of huge random access disk file and COW nature of Btrfs, can anyone confirm that? What other use-cases Btrfs handles badly? -- Regards, Stas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
