[opensuse] Issue with Kmail thrash folder

Hi, Why the thrash folder is showing there messages count, although I am seeing the folder as empty. -- ================ Regards, Arup Rakshit ================ Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. --Brian Kernighan

I really really really am happy with the ftp-mode IF ONLY the lines were accompanied by a small image/thumbnail. As I say, this isn't a problem with ~anton/Documents because the document names are meaningful. While, when at the console, Konq/Dolphin shows thumbnails of documents as well, that isn't a concern when downloading to the tablet. As I say, the names are meaningful. Its only with ~anton/Photographs does it matter. +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | The scripts in the web pages I keep referring to would do | | this just fine if only I could get them to work. | | | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ Fgallery is nice, but not that simple as it needs more to be downloaded. Let me add a requirement: if it needs a database I've already said that, yes?), needs imagemagic python or perl, zips files up into packages, adapts in any way, is more suited for viewing individual images in detail before downloading, has options or overrides available to the viewer or a configuration file, or generates thumbnails into a separate directory by use of a 'batch mode' process, then its not what I want. The slightly augmented 'ftp-mode' described in the article I keep referring to seems to be what I want.

[opensuse] USB power does not switch off in suspend mode
by Zeitlinie 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

Hi on my laptop all USB ports remain in a 'power-on' state after having suspended the machine. The laptop's (a Lenovo T440s, with openSUSE 13.1 (x86_64), kernel 3.11.10-11-desktop) BIOS offers a disable/enable switch to allow for a 'power-on' state of USB in low-power and suspend states. For me this switch has no effect. Both, with this switch enabled or disabled, all USB port remain in a 'power-on' state when the lid is closed. (As far as I can see, other hardware of the system does get suspended when I close the laptop's lid) Any idea why this happens and any help to have USB also suspended when suspending the laptop would be most appreciated. wbwb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Yast2 DNS generate reverse and use /etc/hosts as source
by Anton Aylward 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

The YAST2 DNS tool seems to require a lot of step-and-repeat. Is ther any way yo get it to simply read the hosts file and geenrate BOT the forward and reverse files? I don't seem to be able to get it to gnerate reverse files at all. What am I missing? Or is this simply a crippled tool? -- "Necessity is the mother of invention" is a silly proverb.

[opensuse] Playing DTS audio files.
by Marco Vittorini Orgeas 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

Hi, I'm trying to play some audio files encoded in dts format (.dts), tried Amarok which prompts for the installation of an extra plugin "DTS Decoder" to decode files, but which unfortunately does not find anything useful in the available repos (standard ones). Now according to http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/plugins.html gstreamer comes with a suitable decoder which seems to be included in the gst-plugins-bad (http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/modules/gst-plugins-bad.html) package. Now I should be already covered accordingly: ~> zypper search gstreamer | grep plugins | grep bad i | gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad | GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins | package | gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-32bit | GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins | package | gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-devel | GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins | package | gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-doc | GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins | package i | gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-lang | Languages for package gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad | package i | gstreamer-plugins-bad | GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins | package | gstreamer-plugins-bad-32bit | GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins | package | gstreamer-plugins-bad-devel | GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins | package | gstreamer-plugins-bad-doc | GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins | package | gstreamer-plugins-bad-lang | Languages for package gstreamer-plugins-bad | package But still Amarok does not know how to decode the files. I know the format is somewhat odd for an audio file, but before trying to convert with mplayer, I thought I could have missing something: any hints? Thank you. -- Marco -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] rsync question - NTFS - timestamps - possibly too esoteric
by Greg Freemyer 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

All, This may be off-topic in that I am creating files in opensuse, then running rsync in a cygwin environment to make a second copy. I'm wondering if this is a timestamp issue between how openSUSE and cygwin/windows do things. == details I have an external USB drive formatted NTFS with a directory full of roughly 500 GB worth of 1.5 GB files. For that drive: I wiped it in openSUSE (via dc3dd wipe=/dev/sdb) I partitioned it interactively with fdisk /dev/sdb I created the NTFS filesystem in openSUSE mkfs.ntfs -Q /dev/sdb1 I created the directory and the 500GB of files via openSUSE 13.1 I started rsync on it a couple days ago to make a second copy on a different disk. I don't remember if I ran rsync the first time from cygwin or openSUSE, but that first attempt got interrupted in the middle of the copy. I just re-ran rsync from inside cygwin: rsync -r /cygdrive/f/project_dir/data_dir /cygdrive/g/project_dir I'm watching what is happening with both "file explorer" and the "windows task manager - disk resource monitor". I'm seeing numerous of the 1.5GB data files being re-transferred, but not all. I have no reason to think they were faulty and rsync should just be checking the size and datestamp. It looks like a rsync bug to me. I killed rsync as soon as I saw this and have now restarted it with strace to capture the system calls. That straced version of the rsync invocation is still ongoing. The strace output is almost 5GB, so it will be a huge file to scan through at the end of the rsync process. Anyway, my suspicion is it may be an incompatibility between how openSUSE and cygwin store datestamps. Thus a date recorded by openSUSE may not exactly match a date recorded via cygwin and rsync thinks it needs to re-transfer the file. Alternatively, it could be an issue with NTFS. I haven't done a lot of rsync testing with NTFS as both the source and destination.

[opensuse] grep - how to tell which patterns are NOT in the searched file
by Greg Freemyer 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

All, I know "grep -F -f pattern_file <files-to-search> will give me a list of all lines with a pattern in them. I want to know which of the patterns had no matches. I tried "grep -F --count -f pattern_file <files-to-search>" but it gives a cumulative count for all patterns I want a count per pattern so I can find the patterns with 0 count. Do I have to write a bash loop and call grep once for each pattern?

[opensuse] 13.1 partition scheme
by Tony Alfrey 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

I let the 13.1 installer set up the partitions that it wants. It set up a 1 G swap, a 20G /root partition (with all of the potentially big files like /bin, /opt, and so on) and a 400G /home partition with just my own user directory. This seems totally screwy. Why not a 1G swap, a 1G /boot partition with GRUB, the kernel image, the map, etc and the rest for /root?
