[opensuse] starting accounting on boot
by Giacomo Comes 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

I want to start accounting on openSUSE 13.1 I have installed acct and I can start accounting manually: systemctl start acct.service But I'm not able to start it on boot: systemctl in-enabled acct.service static systemctl preset acct.service The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled using systemctl. Possible reasons for having this kind of units are: 1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's .wants/ or .requires/ directory. 2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has a requirement dependency on it. 3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer, D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...). After a reboot acct is not restarted and I cannot find in the documentation any indication of what to do. Is this a bug or I'm missing something?

[opensuse] chromium unconditionally enables threaded-compositing, overriding user's choice
by auxsvr＠gmail.com 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Hello, See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=328177 for details. In summary, the option --enable-threaded-compositing is appended to the command line when launching chromium, which renders the user's choice in chrome://flags irrelevant. Although this option has been in the launcher script for a long time without any side-effect, recently I found out that it causes tab content rendered by plugins to disappear. Why is this option enabled by default, since it is an experimental feature and there is no way to disable it if it causes problems, unless one edits the launch script?

[opensuse] Multilingual options, for editing and web site creation
by Ted Byers 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

I am on a new adventure. In my old age, I have decided to learn some extra languages (at present, French, German, and Arabic- chosen so I can read several references authored in those languages and not apparently translated into English - next year, I may add Greek, because my niece is half Greek, and it would be good to help her master that, and maybe Spanish, for no good reason other than curiousity). What I want to do, to help master these new languages, is write about topics that interest me, in English, and then translate my own work into one of the languages I am trying to learn. For example, I may take to writing book reviews for the more interesting books I have bought, and put that content on my own website (probably using Wordpress) and take advantage of one of Amazon's that can generate revenue by linking my content to products they are selling, as well as Google's adwords). The first thing I need is an editor that would facilitate this, ideally by dividing my screen into 4, containing two editors (one for English and one for the language I am studying at the time), and one for an English-'other language' dictionary, and a fourth for a grammar for that language. If this is not an editor I use by pointing Firefox at my web server, I need it to run on Suse 13.1. I am familiar with the notion of a code page, in creating web content, but I could use some guidance on what is needed in order to be able to handle multiple languages, and the peculiarities of their various scripts, on a single machine (with a US style keyboard). As the intent is to eventually post my content on the web (via my own server), the traditional word processor, such as M$ Word, may not be appropriate (the last time I looked, the HTML that M$ Word produced was horrible and very inefficient, although that was a while ago, so maybe such products have improved). The second thing I need is a way to have multilingual content on the same website, giving a visitor the ability to read both the English and the translation of it 9side by side or inter-lineal), so he or she can check the quality of the translation (and perhaps give me suggestions to help me improve my understanding of the languages I am trying to learn. I have reached out to the Wordpress forum about this, but it is low traffic and there has been no response yet. I have begun a search using Google, but the signal to noise ratio is poor (if you know of a good, efficient search string, please tell me), and I will continue to search, so suggestions for improving my search would be appreciated. I would greatly appreciate suggestions as to products to examine, and web resources that may be helpful.

[opensuse] Why I hate upgrading ....
by Per Jessen 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

<rant on> Tonight I deciced it was time to give our laptop an upgrade, I ran "zypper up", quickly glanced over the stuff to be done and said "yes". It's not the fastest of laptops any more, it took about 90 minutes until it suddenly changed mode and the "crescent" symbol started flahsing. I think that means suspended. I have no idea why it would suspend just like that, but when I tried to reboot it, it couldn't access root any more, so kernel panic. Oh well, I know what my Saturday morning is going to be spent on. I wish had so "no" to that upgrade. <rant off> -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Taskfreak++ ?
by Per Jessen 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Internally we've been using Taskfreak for a couple of years. We just wanted something simple to track todos, which taskfreak has done perfectly, but it's beginning to show it's limitations. We would like to have features such as task- and time-dependencies, but without going to a big project-management setup. I've looked at e.g. redmine, which seems a bit too comprehensive for our needs. Is anyone aware of or using an improved Taskfreak? (or am I being too harsh on redmine?) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.7°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
