Some of the info seems out of date: (from http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.automount.html) > A unit configuration file whose name ends in ".automount" encodes information > about a file system automount point controlled and supervised by systemd. > > Automount units must be named after the automount directories they control. > Example: the automount point /home/lennart must be configured in a unit file > home-lennart.automount. I have no such .automount files at all. Ah, further down I see that they are auto-configured via /etc/fstab, okay. A couple things I don't understand: Despite "x-systemd.automount" not being set in my /etc/fstab anywhere, I still get some systemd .mount config units, so I guess someone does that behind the scene. With "noauto", apparently these drives are not auto-mounted - so who/what will mount them? Despite these disks being iSCSI, systemd has created links in "local-fs.target.requires" which doesn't seem correct? thanks for your insights, regards Per -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] spelling and grammar check in LO 4.1
by Istvan Gabor 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

Hello: I have openSUSE 12.2 and LO 4.1.5.3 from openSUSE LO repo. I can't find out how to use "spelling and grammar" check. I would like to check the spelling of an English text. If I select Tools=>Spelling and Grammar (or press F7) a window titled "Spelling and Grammar: English (USA)" opens. But: 1. It misses misspelled words (eg "speling"). 2. It stops at words/phrases but the "ignore once" button does not work. 3. In the window the "text language" field is empty. Apart from this when I click Tools=>Language, => for selection=> English (USA) is selected => for paragraph=> nothing is selected, even If I select English, it is not set/remembered => for all text=>nothing is selected, even If I select English, it is not set/remembered Could someone please help with this? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Package name differences
by Dylan 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

Hi All, I use Makehuman (makehuman.org - a 3D human figure modeling application) which has a Linux rpm at http://download.tuxfamily.org/makehuman/releases/1.0.0/makehuman-1.0.0-1.no… The rpm requires: PyOpenGL PyQt4 numpy which are provided by openSUSE as: python-opengl python-qt4 python-numpy I have installed the three libraries, and used --nodeps to install the makehuman package. The application is fully functional, but of course this leaves the rpm database in an inconsistent state. I figure I can create a fake rpm which "provides" the three packages under the names required by the makehuman rpm, and "requires" the three packages under their openSUSE names. Is this a viable approach? Are there any gotchas I should be aware of? Can anyone point me to a suitable resource to learn how to do this?

[opensuse] Help - rpm - error: no dbpath has been set - howto fix?
by David C. Rankin 17 Mar '14

17 Mar '14

All, I took my trusty laptop to about 10,500 ft (in Co.), and upon return, it booted fine, I went to use yast -> network to change the wifi connection and was prompted that wpa_supplicant, etc.. were not installed -- HUH? This is an old 11.4 box, wpa_supplicant and the rest have been installed for years. So to check, I did the old 'rpm -q wpa_supplicant' and got: error: no dbpath has been set error: cannot open Packages database in /%{_dbpath} error: no dbpath has been set error: cannot open Packages database in /%{_dbpath} Decided to reboot and watch the startup as this didn't make any sense... fsck.ext3 on /dev/sda6 '/' failed and through me into recovery mode. So, in recovery mode: fsck -y /dev/sda6 Churns away for a minute or two and finds ..... blah.blah duplicate/unused inode for file.xyz delete? yes <snip> about 15 more Then fsck completes all remaining checks normally. (reboot) Open kde3, konsole, "su" "yast2 --qt" -> network settings -> same problem, yast doesn't see wpa_supplicant installed --> crud! So, 15:26 alchemy:~> rpm -qa error: no dbpath has been set error: cannot open Packages database in /%{_dbpath} error: no dbpath has been set error: cannot open Packages database in /%{_dbpath} Ok, so apparently rpm lost a link/file that sets the dbpath so rpm doesn't know what is installed and can't find it's cache. How do I fix this? I haven't messed with the actual dbpath for rpm before -- where is it set and to what? Any help appreciated. Thanks. -- David C.

[opensuse] OpenCL on FPGA
by Dsant 17 Mar '14

Hello, do you know some FPGA pci (or pci-express) cards, that could be used as GPU on Suse ? Not so powerful as NVidia or AMD ones, but more opened, it's for OpenCL learning :) Or a very open-sourced GPU card from theses companies, that would be nice too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit -- (o_ //\ Dsant, from Lyon, France V_/_ forum(a)votreservice.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] thunderbird - The RETR command did not succeed. (RECV: -ERR no such message.)
by David C. Rankin 17 Mar '14

17 Mar '14

All, After the trip to Co., thunderbird (24.2.0) now refuses to download my pop mail -- which I presume is due to me accessing the same pop3 mailbox via the ISP webmail interface while in Co. Thunderbird could retrieve pop3 fine while in Colorado, but could not send due to accessing via a foreign/remote IP (not on my suddenlink.com network) So I used the suddenlink webmail interface to send mail while away. This seems to have done something that now prevent thunderbird from being able to retrieve messages from my account now that I have returned home. The error given by thunderbird is: The RETR command did not succeed. Error retrieving a message. Mail server pop.suddenlinkmail.com responded: no such message.

[opensuse] debug RPMs
by Roger Oberholtzer 17 Mar '14

17 Mar '14

In oS previous to 13.1, I could add a debug package following the suggestions in gdb. For example, if an app uses tcl, and the debug package is not installed, gdb would say: Missing separate debuginfo for /usr/lib/libtcl8.6.so Try: zypper install -C "debuginfo(build- id)=9ad934500cba5db272425d8b19d13089857ed146" Running the suggested zypper command resulted in the installation of the debug info. On 13.1, when I try to install the package, I get this error: # zypper install -C "debuginfo(build- id)=9ad934500cba5db272425d8b19d13089857ed146" Loading repository data...
