[opensuse] FF31 - All icons/buttons look like "high-contrast" icons (they are white) - any way to fix?
by David C. Rankin 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

All, The fun continues with the ever-changing Firefox UI. I pulled in FF31 last night on updates. Now all icons are pure-white glyphs on the button background. It looks like some of the old 'high-contrast' themes. Is there any way to get the correct (at least) grayscaled button icons back?

[opensuse] Unpacking .MSI files
by Anton Aylward 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

OUCH! I've been sent what _should_ have been a .zip but comes as a .msi As i'm told this is "much the same thing". But not to me.... Apparently this is how some MS-weenies package things. Perhaps he did it knowing that I'm a Linux type and did it to annoy. P7zip gives ma listing but in there is a .cab file and I thnk that has all the file tree that I want. So how should .msi files be handled under Linux? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Calling a script to run in background.
by Carlos E. R. 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi I have this call in "/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/mine": /usr/local/bin/nm-hook-mine-up $CONEXION >> /var/log/NetworkManager-mine.log & It runs, and it calls the other script, but this one after 10 seconds, it dies or it is killed. I'm unsure if the position of the "&" above is correct :-? I know that the script dies, because I have this code in it: echo "waiting (3)..." ; sleep 3 echo "waiting (6)..." ; sleep 3 echo "waiting (9)..." ; sleep 3 echo "waiting (12)..." ; sleep 3 echo "waiting (15)..." ; sleep 3 echo "waiting (18)..." ; sleep 3 And in the log I see: waiting (3)... waiting (6)... waiting (9)... waiting (12)... and goes no further. - -- Cheers Carlos E.

[opensuse] pae kernel - non-working intrd ?
by Per Jessen 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

Today I've been trying to install 13.1+updates on a system that needs a PAE kernel. It's failed repeatedly because unpacking the initramfs has caused an NMI, leading to the initramfs not being unpacked. (judging by the kernel output). I've just now installed again, but with the -default kernel, and that worked. Does this situation sound familiar to anyone? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] cproto - new source works on 13.1
by David C. Rankin 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

All, The current cproto-4.6 version is broken on 13.1 (outputs garbage from all header files). The new source is: ftp://invisible-island.net/cproto/cproto.tar.gz and is compatible with the current cpp-4.8. I've submitted a comment to the current maintainer of the 13.1 package in repositories/home/aledr. If anybody knows of a better package for searching c-source files and extracting the functions/variables (not doxygen) that provides simple text output, I'd be interested in that as well. Thanks. If you haven't use cproto for extracting function prototypes before, the 4.7 version is quite good (even with gcc 4.8). Example: $ cproto -s dir-func-ex.c -I/home/david/inc /* dir-func-ex.c */ char *xgetcwd(void); char *xgetcwd0(void); void xchdir(char *dirname); void xchdirfd(int filedes); void xmkdir_err(char *dirname, int errval, const char *func); int xmkdir(char *dirname, mode_t mode); void set_sdfltr(char *flt); int allfiles(const struct dirent *unused); int xsdsel(const struct dirent *de); int xfexists(char *f); int xis_dir(char *d); int xis_dir_W_OK(char *d); int xrmdir_sys(char *d); int main(int argc, char *argv[]); Another helpful piece of the small DMS project. -- David C.

[opensuse] Packman down?
by James Knott 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Today, I've been getting annoying pop up messages on my computer: "Problem connecting to a software origin Timeout exceeded when accessing 'http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/openSUSE_13.1/repodata/repomd.xml'" Has anyone else been getting these? I have disabled Packman in my repositories, but this problem continues. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] LibreOffice User Interface does not see gtk theme - howto fix?
by David C. Rankin 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

All, I got LO installed by default, but also installed OO to make sure there was continuity in the office templates between the 3x versions and the current 4x. To may my great chagrin, the UI colors of OO and LO are completely different: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/ss/suse/oo_lo-ui_differences.jpg Obviously OO is picking up the gtk theme and LO isn't. Is there any way to tell LO to use the system colors and theme? -- David C.

[opensuse] Anybody building mysql-connector-c for 13.1, know where it is.
by David C. Rankin 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

All, I'm looking for mysql-connector-c for 13.1 and I cannot find it anywhere in build service. The closest I can find it the mingw version: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=windows%3Amingw%3Awin64&pac… I need it and would like to check if anyone is building it so save the time for rewriting the spec. Anybody know where an openSuSE version is? I know I've usually found it in server:/database in the repositories on prior releases, but only the cpp-devel version is present now? Dependencies are minimal (boost, boost-libs, cmake, libmariadbclient), so that isn't a problem. Let me know if you know where an opensuse version is, or a spec. Otherwise, I'll rewrite one from the generic srpm and cut all the cruft out of the generic spec... -- David C.

[opensuse] Compression tools with data recovery ability
by jcsl 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Hi. I want to make backup a partition and I want to compress the data. I'm worried about the possibility of the compressed files being damaged when I try to restore then. I've read that in compressed tarball you cannot recover any data after a single damaged bit. I'm looking for tools like rar that creates extra recovery files. What options are available? What I've found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_archive_formats#Comparison and available in the repositories are DAR and rar. Lzip also has a recovery utility called Lziprecover. Parchive is another related utility: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parchive I haven't used any of these except rar and I don't know if the have some kind of problems. And I don't know how other compression tools like gzip and bzip behave in case of file damage. I have used dd + tar.gz previously to make backups but I'm not sure if it is a good option anymore. Any hints? Thanks in advance. Greetings. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Libreoffice NFS
by Paul Groves 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

I have tried opening several libreoffice documents today from my NFS share on my NAS and every file asks to open in read only. Copied to the local HDD, the file opens fine. I have tried turning off file locking inlibre office and it makes no difference. This was working a couple of days ago and the issue has appear on my opensuse 13.1 laptop and desktop and on a few ubuntu machines at work. This is frustrating as a couple of months ago libreoffice broke compatability with CIFS/SMB shares and now NFS isn't working either! -- Paul Groves -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
