[opensuse] Novell login

02 Feb '14

Just tried to use my Novell login to file a bug report and found my login does not work. Tried to enter my email address to reset things and now it doesn't like my email address. Is there an admin address I can write to to fix the problem.

[opensuse] Problem opening Kontact
by Thomas Taylor 02 Feb '14

02 Feb '14

In opensuse 13.1, KDE 4.11.2, when I attempt tp open kontact it segfaults. Background: Due to a compromised file(s) in the ~/.kde4 folder kontact had to be removed and re-installed. I first used Yast2 for the re-install. Upon attempting to open kontact it displayed a segfault message. I then deleted kontact and re-installed through the online search (http://software.opensuse.org/search) system but had the same results. During both install sessions I also performed a system restart to avoid any other problems. I also logged out and back in of KDE several times. Segfault bug has been reported to bugzilla as bug 861725. Any suggestions or ideas why this is happening? Thanks, Tom -- Never be ashamed to ask for information.

[opensuse] Tumbleweed switch from grub to grub2 won't start X
by Patrick Shanahan 01 Feb '14

01 Feb '14

Having began Tumbleweed some time ago using grub, my boot config added grub2 which never appeared to work but I was satisfied with grub. Believing grub to be going the way of the dodo, I opened yast and switched to grub2. My default is to runlevel 3/text mode and grub2 arrives here quite fine, but "init 5" never arrives. It presents the green on black spiraling gecko and lock screen. I can ssh into it but cannot do anything after I get there. Either something is really working the system or no control is possible. System is i7 (12 cpu) with 36gb (yes) so while process lock is possible ... How to trouble-shoot or what to try ?? Bug report ?? tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Change Pulseaudio to default flat-volumes=no
by Amuraritei Andrei 01 Feb '14

01 Feb '14

Hello users, I'd like to ask the users here what would they think about changing Pulseaudio's default flat-volumes=yes to flat-volumes=no, to prevent apps like VLC or Amarok or the sound notification popup from modyfing the master sound level on your openSUSE distro. So if I set master to 50% it stay's at 50% and doesn't change when I change Amarok's volume to 100% or 20% for example. That would mean that 100% from Amarok = 50% from master. I am running this right now and it's better than having all the volumes jump up and being very annoying. My audio setup includes two sound cards, a Xonar DX one with Logitech's 5500 speakers (analog 5.1) and a NVIDIA gfx one (HDMI stereo to my monitor). I'd like you guys to express your user opinion about this change, if you think it helps you guys have a better audio session on your openSUSE distro. As per Comment11 [1] in the bug report[2] about the issue, Takashi Iwai suggests to ask the ML first about the change, and if it's wanted enough here then we may get a change upstream also. Thanks for your time reading this.
