[opensuse] Temperature measurements of computer components
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

My computer is working in a relative warm environment. In this room the temperature is an average of 26' C. Since years I keep an eye on the temperatures of the CPU, Motherboard and the rpm of the important coolers. Having had to go several times today into my bios I discovered there that according to the bios the temperatures of the CPU where over 90' C and during the booting process the start-up speed was reduced. On my gkrellm which is running on every desktop I have after the booting process a temp from 60' to 65' C. Assuming that the temperatures may come from the same sensor I wonder which of the two I should trust. Looked into other temperature programs in Yast I found Eeze but found out that I do not even understand their documents. Any other KDE program which I could have a look into? -- Linux User 183145 using KDE4 and LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 13.1 (i586) Kernel: 3.13.2-14.gb59b809-default KDE Development Platform: 4.12.2 13:07pm up 1:58, 4 users, load average: 1.39, 2.01, 3.54 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] rpmbuild - %doc keeps wiping out additional %docdir files?
by David C. Rankin 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

All, I need help. I am working on packaging WordNet. Doing so, I have 5 doc files in the base directory of the source packages I want in the documentation directory of the final package: %doc AUTHORS ChangeLog COPYING LICENSE README Fine - works, puts the files in /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet where I want them. However, I also have the html, pdf, and ps documentation directories I want to put in that SAME directory. In the %install section I create the directory and move the documentation dirs (html,pdf,ps) to /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet with the following: # Make proper document dir, mv doc files, rm old doc dir mkdir -p %{buildroot}/usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet mv %{buildroot}/usr/doc/* %{buildroot}/usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet rm -rf %{buildroot}/usr/doc/ I then add: %files ... %docdir /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc rpmbuild completes fine, but NONE of the (html,pdf,or ps) directories are present in the final package. None of these exists: /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet/html /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet/pdf /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet/ps Grr.. From research I found that this was due to the %doc AUTHORS... line wiping out everything else in the /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet directory -- the reason given: "that is just rpm being dumb, that's just the way it has always been." But there was no explanation how to fix this issue. It seems simple. All I want to do is move the documentation from %{buildroot}/usr/doc/{html,pdf,ps} to %{buildroot}/usr/doc/packages/WordNet/{html,pdf,ps} and include those directories along with the files AUTHORS ChangeLog COPYING LICENSE and README. But how do I do it without the first %doc line wiping them out? I have given up in the interim and just created a %{buildroot}/usr/doc/packages/WordNet-docs directory and move the html, pdf and ps directories there, but I really would like all documentation under /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet. How do I do that?? Here is my current %files setup. %files %defattr(-,root,root) /usr/bin /usr/include /usr/lib64 /usr/lib /usr/share/applications /usr/share/pixmaps /usr/share/wordnet %doc AUTHORS ChangeLog COPYING LICENSE README %docdir /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet-docs /usr/share/doc/packages/WordNet-docs What say the masters? What is the trick? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] LibreOffice 4.2
by Basil Chupin 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

To those who may not be aware LibreOffice 4.2 is now available and can be downloaded from- https://www.libreoffice.org/ As this is a direct download from the authors you will, of course, need to install it yourself (with rpm -Uvh *.rpm) in each of the packages you download - READ the instructions in the Read.me(s). One thing to be aware of: if you are using KDE (like I am) then you will need to install using YaST- gnome-vfs2 (either 32- or 64-bit depending on your system) otherwise there will be a dependency error. (BTW, before installing LO from the above it is always best to remove the current installation of LO.) [A hint: after installing 4.2, reboot your system otherwise LO may not run when you click on the icon.] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ While I am on LO, does anyone know where, and the name of the file, LO keeps the darn Dictionary to which one adds new words?! (I use English GB, btw.) I am tired of having to start over again everytime I install the latest LO :-( . So, if anyone knows could you please let me know? Thanks.

[opensuse] Keyboard shortcut and Firefox
by Thomas Taylor 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Is there a way to either disable or modify the keyboard for closing Firefox? The problem I'm having is that I often unintentionally hit the Q instead of the W when trying to close a window thereby closing Firefox and losing the open tabs (they aren't saved for some reason). This is in combination with the control key. I'm getting old and my fingers don't always move where I want them to.

[opensuse] 13.1 KDE/Network Scanner in a different subnet
by Toshi Esumi 16 Feb '14

16 Feb '14

Hi, I asked the same question with 12.3(?) before, and got no comments, so I was just hoping I could find a solution with 13.1. But I still can't find a way to let this 13.1 machine recognize an hp photosmart premium c309g as a scanner in Yast(GUI). Its printer part is working fine because I can specify it's IP(192.168.199.241/28), which is outside of this PC's subnet (172.16.1.0/24). Is there any way to install it via CLI?

[opensuse] systemd: are there exceptions for cleaning up tmpfiles.d stuff?
by Joachim Schrod 16 Feb '14

16 Feb '14

Hi, My /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf has the line d /tmp 1777 root root 10d AFAIU, that means that files in /tmp that are older than 10 days are deleted. My /tmp is not a tmpfs (by intent). What I see is that there are some directories from before my last boot that got not deleted: ssh directories with ssh agent sockets, .ICE-unix, etc. I checked the man page of tmpfiles.d and systemd-tmpfiles. No exception to the "will be deleted after duration X" is listed there. Are there builtin exceptions that are not documented? Well, as I'm logged in quite often more than 10 days, I prefer my ssh agent sockets not to be deleted -- but I'd like to have some knowledge about the actual process systemd is using, even better would be control over the deletion exceptions.

[opensuse] I am most puzzled....
by Basil Chupin 16 Feb '14

16 Feb '14

....which is an understatement :-) . My puzzlement comes in 2 parts. Part #1. Last November I bought a Thinkpad that came with Windows 8 pre-installed and I promptly upgraded that to 8.1. I then installed 13.1 and had both systems running -- until a couple of weeks ago when some upgrades/updates were done using zypper and suddenly I could not boot into any of the systems - the system would freeze as soon as the word "grub" appeared (ie, the grub menu did not appear). I check all the partitions using SystemRescueCD and everything looked fine. I got tired of not getting anywhere so formatted the whole HDD and installed only 13.1. All worked fine until a couple of days ago when once again when zypper did some upgrades/updates and I then discovered that I had no wi-fi or cable access to the internet. I looked in YaST and found that the oS was using Network Manager so I tried to change that to 'ifup' but this cannot be done because YaST is 'telling' me that it smpppd first needs to be installed - but I have no access to the 'net. I am now trying to work thru this by using the installation CD which I will do in the next several minutes. But the real puzzlement in this Part #2. Remember I said that I had formatted the whole HDD and installed 13.1 only? Well, in trying to resolve the above hassle I used 'fdisk -l' to see if the CD I had in the sr0 was being recognised by 13.1 (it wasn't) but what I saw made my jaw drop: fdisk - was showing that the HDD still had all the partitions in their original positions when Windows 8/8.1 was installed as well as the new installation of 13.1. But looking at the Partitioner in YaST showed the new partitioning scheme after I had formatted the HDD and installed 13.1 the second time. How can this be? If anybody can throw some light on either or both of the above I would be most grateful.

[opensuse] Nepomuk indexing misses .doc, .xls files
by Bob Williams 16 Feb '14

16 Feb '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've recently enabled Nepomuk and find that it doesn't index files with Microsoft Office extensions. For example, I have a folder containing 66 files, all with the string <agenda> in the filename. 64 of these files have a .doc extension, and are completely ignored by Nepomuk when I search for files containing $agenda in the filename in Dolphin. The two files with a .odt extension are found. I'm as keen a FOSS proselytiser as the next person, but to exclude these files seems to be taking purity too far. ;-) I have checked the exclusions dialog, but there is nothing to suggest that .doc or .xls should be excluded. I'd also like my python scripts to be indexed, but they are also invisible, despite their containing folder being in the search path.
