[opensuse] Still Resolution problems
by Robert Rea 21 Sep '14

21 Sep '14

I have gone back to 12.3. I installed 13.1 and it made the resolution 1600 x something. But the cursor was invisible so I couldn't change the resolution in KDE settings. 12.3 only give me 720x360 but I am coping. I can't get to the grub menu because I have to use the installation cd to boot the hard disk, so I can't enter nomodeset. I can't get to yast. I will ask about that in a separate email. Does anyone have any further advice? -- Bob Rea mailto:gapetard@stsams.org http://www.petard.us http://www.petard.us/blog http://www.petard.us/gallery America, it was a wonderful country until they took it private and turned it into a theme park of itself -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Re: etckeeper-zypp-plugin broken in 1.13-7.1.x86_64?

Hi Martin, I knew the existence of devel:tools:scm/etckeeper by your email. I installed devel:tools:scm/etckeeper to openSUSE13.1. But I could not reproduce your issue. The devel:tools:scm/etckeeper seems same as utilities/etckeeper. And etckeeper-zypp-plugin s are same too. I thought about 2 possibility. 1) Did you config git ? git config --global user.name 'YOUR Name' git config --global user.email 'your-email(a)example.org' sudo cp -i ~/.gitconfig ~root/ sudo etckeeper init 2) Your etckeeper-zypp-plugin did timeout. The etckeeper-zypp-plugin has a timeout problem now. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2014-09/msg00223.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2014-09/msg00256.html Please check your ZYpp's logs. (/var/log/zypper.log or /var/log/YaST2/y2log ...) And I already wrote a patch. https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/devel:tools:scm/etckeeper/etck… (This patch sent to upstream, but not accept yet. https://github.com/joeyh/etckeeper/pull/17 ) Please set AVOID_PACKAGELIST=1 in /etc/etckeeper/etckeeper.conf. (Please see manual of etckeeper(1).) By the way, if you found a problem, I think that you should tell it to many people. (eg. ML or Bugzilla.) So I sent this mail to you and opensuse ML. 2014-09-20 19:18 GMT+09:00 Martin Schröder <martin(a)oneiros.de>: > Hi, > you seem to provide the etckeeper-packages for OpenSUSE.

[opensuse] Something changed some KDE items which were previously displayed
by Basil Chupin 20 Sep '14

20 Sep '14

A couple of weeks ago I did the normal 'zypper refresh/patch/up' which completed without (any apparent) problems. However, something was installed or something was replaced which changed the way KDE 4.14.0.x works (or rather now does not work). The first thing which I noticed was that I can no longer right-click on the desktop, select LEAVE>RESTART or SHUT DOWN and have this choice performed. Selecting LEAVE starts to dim the desktop but does not bring up the menu where one can select SHUT DOWN etc - all I end up with is a slightly dimmed screen. There is no way to either RESTART or SHUT DOWN the computer using this method. Clicking on the screen brings it back to its 'original' brightness. A similar thing occurs when one clicks on KICKOFF and selects LEAVE - one cannot Shut Down or Restart. At the moment, the ONLY way (apart from pressing the OFF switch on the computer box) is to open TERMINAL, "login" as root and enter 'HALT -P'. Earlier today I had to go out and, without thinking, did LOCK SCREEN. I could not 'unlock' the screen in the normal way; the mouse was active but that was all. The only way I regained control over the system was to hit the BIG RED BUTTON :-( . One other thing re all this. I have lost the SYSTEM SETTINGS icon/widget/whatever in KICKOFF. It's kapoot, poof, gone.....nowhere to be seen. To get back to "normality" I tried deleting the '~/.kde4' sub-directory but while this regenerates a new ./kde4 all of the above hassles remain :-( . Does anyone know, please, what has to be done to get back to what should be regarded as the "normal" KDE 4.14.0.x situation?

[opensuse] Regenerating KDE menus
by Basil Chupin 20 Sep '14

20 Sep '14

I came across an entry in "my little black book" which stated that executing '/opt/kde3/bin/kbuildsycoca' rebuilt the KDE menus. Now, in oS 13.1 I can see that this item exists - even though I am NOT running KDE 3 but have KDE 4. I don't want to totally corrupt my 13.1 installation so I am asking if running 'opt/kde3/bin/kbuidsycoca' would recreate the menus or would it cause a flash of light followed by a puff of smoke from the keyboard? (BTW, while '/opt/kde3/ ' *is* still to be seen in oS 13.1 it is not in 13.2/Factory .) If running 'opt/kde3/bin/kbuildsycoca' no longer recreates KDE menus what then does recreate them?

[opensuse] Curl errors in opensuse 12 and 13

Hi Does anyone know why i always get "curl" errors using "zypper" or Yast to refresh/ update the repos? Its random as to which repos fails. see example below I don't ever recall this happening prior to opensuse 12.

Re: [opensuse] opensuse 12.3 x64 and could not activate IPv6

Hi, we've disabled ipv6 on all servers, we hadn't IPv6 IP from providers. In this case the server is a firewall between LAN, DMZ and WAN. I enabled IPv6 on anothers server too, but only on this " important" server I've problem to enable IPv6. Why ? I've 6to4 tunneling at home on opensuse 12.2, at work is native IPv6 on another opensuse 12.2 with dns service, no problem at all...

[opensuse] Google Voice no longer working in Chromium
by James Knott 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

I have used Google Voice in the Chromium browser in the past. However, it has now stopped working. When I try to make a call, the dialer says to download the voice plugin. I have done that, but it still doesn't work. I'm running 64 bit 13.1 and Chromium version 36.0.1985.125. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
