[opensuse] quicktime controlbar size
by jdd 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

Hello, I'm debugging a video gallery plugin and for now the quicktime part (do not ask me to use html5, it's not the problem, thanks) my present (minor) problem is that the control bar official (apple) height is 16 pixel, and this size have to be set hard in the windows size. this is nice for IE8 or Firefox in Windows. But the gecko-mediaplayer quicktime plugin for firefox uses a much higher control bar (looks like it have 38 pixels high). presently I simply use the max height and leave some blank around in windows, but this prevent me from using a border (in which case the blank is visible) the excess part of the control is used to write text. Do you know any simple way to parameter a 16 pix size control, from the html page? Don't forget I'm not responsible of the client, I only create the web page through php. A way to sense linux from php could be a solution test page: http://dodin.info/~piwigo/testplayers/test4quicktime.html (may change) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is there a new cli webpin in 13.1 - or a slick curl command -- or something that will work?
by David C. Rankin 20 Jul '14

20 Jul '14

All, As we lament *webpin* that passed into oblivion around 11.3, I though I would check to see if there is a new command line replacement for it? If not, does anybody have a slick workaround using curl or the like? Here is a bad hack example for *mkisofs* (after zypper refused to install several packages because *mkisofs* "wasn't" installed [it was already installed ... provided by cdrkit-cdrtools-compat]) curl "https://software.opensuse.org/package/mkisofs?search_term=mkisofs" | \ grep "repositories\|package" | \ sed -e 's/^.*="//' -e 's/">.*$//' -e 's/%3A/:/g' If anybody has any other suggestion for a quick command-line search, I welcome you ideas. A command line tool that can query all repositories (whether subscribed or not) to locate a needed file/rpm is a "must-have" feature. zypper se -s only works for subscribed repos, so I am looking for a solution that works regardless of subscription. -- David C.

[opensuse] 13.1 VirtualBox, extension pack solves USB issues, GuestAdditions separate download?
by David C. Rankin 20 Jul '14

20 Jul '14

All, After earlier discussion about using the download.virtualbox.org version for 12.3 or using the version found in the 13.1 virtualbox repo, I decided on trying the 13.1 repo. After install, I attempted to start the VM's that were running with USB and I get a error telling me that the VM cannot be started unless USB support is disabled... Here is a screenshot of the error: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/openSuSE/131/vbox-usb.jpg So I downloaded the extension pack from download.virtualbox.org and install it via: VBoxManage extpack install \ --replace Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.12-93733.vbox-extpack Solved. The VM's launch fine. However, next, I couldn't find the GuestAdditions ISO to install with the (Host + D) menu entry. Checking the virtualbox rpm -- it's not there. So back to download.virtualbox.org, download the VBoxGuestAdditions_4.3.12.iso and install. This being the first time using the openSuSE rpm instead of the one from virtualbox raises the following question, just what does using the openSuSE rpm provide compared to installing directly from virtualbox? I understand that licensing prevents direct inclusion of the extension pack, but I thought the guest additions were normally included? I guess it you don't want the guest additions, the opensuse rpm provides a smaller download, but if you still have to go to virtualbox.org for the extension pack, why not just use the 12.3 rpm there? It is simple enough to use the opensuse rpm and then add the extension pack and guest additions, but are there any other issues that way into using one verses the other? Any problems doing it the way I did it? All seems to be running fine so from what I can tell it is an either/or proposition, just choose either the opensuse package + ext pack + guest additions, or choose the virtualbox.org package + ext pack and you will end up with the same thing.

[opensuse] [opensuse-kde] Make a KDM greeter screenshot
by Felix Miata 19 Jul '14

The instructions at http://linuxtidbits.wordpress.com/2009/12/07/taking-a-kdm-screenshot/ don't work for my openSUSE 13.1 KDE4/KDM4 installation. The few others Google has found me also fail, including searches focused on opensuse.org and kde.org. Anyone know where to find instructions that work?

[opensuse] 13.1 - 'hostname' returns fqdn instead of just hostname - install put fqdn in HOSTNAME?
by David C. Rankin 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

Brain-trust, Here is a curiosity in 13.1. After install, the hostname command returned the fully qualified domain name instead of properly returning the hostname alone. Eg: $ hostname alchemy.3111skyline.com $ hostname -f alchemy.3111skyline.com This caused problems in some application that are expecting only the hostname part. Picking through the usual list of suspects, it turned out that /etc/HOSTNAME was the guilty party. It contained: # cat HOSTNAME alchemy.3111skyline.com That was odd, in the past, /etc/HOSTNAME generally included only the hostname part and not the dnsdomainname as well. Fixing /etc/HOSTNAME fixed the problem. Has anyone else noticed this? If this can be confirmed, I'll file the bug report, but there is also the possibility I entered the full hostname during install when it called for only the hostname part. I guess in that instance I should still file a bug report because the installer should be smart enough to validate the input. What says the list? -- David C.

[opensuse] svn commit
by jdd 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

Hello, I'm completely new to SVN, and the documentation is not that clear on some subjects. specifically on svn commit to a password protected svn (I have an account but I'm not the administrator). Documentation say that once the first time passwd given it wont be asked again. seems to be so on the server. but on the openSUSE 13.1 client, when I type the "svn commit <RC>" command in a terminal, I have a *graphical* prompt twice, once for a passwd, the other for a passphrase. If I give the same passwd as the server one, the commit is done. what are these two prompts?? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
