[opensuse] Qt Quick Controls Examples
by Luis Manuel de Vries 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hi, I have installed the latest stable Qt5 from the following repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt5/openSUSE_13.1/ All works fine, but I am missing the examples for Qt Quick controls. I did install the different Qt5 example packages. Is the examples package for Quick Controls missing? When using the installer from the Qt Website Download section, Qt does include the controls examples (they show up in QtCreator).

hi I'm using Chromium Version 36.0.1985.125 (283153) and Opera 12.16 and opera plays vids but Chromium doesn't. I downloaded updates via "zypper -l up" this morning and a new flash-player version was installed. It was working fine yesterday. Is anyone else having this issue? Do i have to do anything in Chromium regarding this update of flash-player? regards Ian Information for package flash-player: ------------------------------------- Repository: openSUSE-13.1-Update-Non-Oss Name: flash-player Version: 11.2.202.406-66.1 Arch: x86_64 Vendor: openSUSE Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date Installed Size: 20.9 MiB Summary: Adobe Flash Plugin and Standalone Player Description: This package contains Adobe's Flash Plugin for the supported Web browsers in addition to a standalone flash player application. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

With the same disks, RAID5 w/md5raid topped out at under 300MB/s writes, ~600MB reads. HW raid at the time was 500-600MB/s writes and ~1000MB/s reads. Run some tests, that's what we did.

I do remember the md-driver being less demanding in what drives it allowed. It would accept any drive -- with speeds varying by as much as 20% from slowest to fastest in the desktop HD segment. The LSI controller failed 11 out of 14 desktop drives for being out of spec. (desktop drives had mistakenly been sent instead of server).

That's also for an extra eight 6Gb ports you wouldn't have without some sort of HW outlay. I havn't benched the md-drivers lately, when I did they were not yet multi-cpu capable (so all checks and rebuilds happened in a single core. I know that has changed, which would tend to hide cpu usage with it getting done about 10x faster on a 10-core Xeon. I also had the experience of having my md-raid5 corrupted twice after a system crash before I decided it wasn't quite what I wanted in reliability. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Pulse/Alsa compression, equalizer, limiter
by Michael Fischer 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Google has not been my friend on this topic, unless I'm running Ubuntu, which I am not. I am running openSuSE 12.3. Can anyone point to a 12.3-friendly way to get a compressor and equalizer going? A limiter if such exists would be great too. Preferably one which can be handled via alsamixer or similar, as I do not generally run the KDE or gnome environments/apps. I *think* I'm looking for a SuSE 12.3-friendly way of doing: http://askubuntu.com/questions/31580/is-there-a-way-of-leveling-compressing… Many thanks.

[opensuse] Firefox memory leak
by Jim Sabatke 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

For quite some time, and across a couple versions of OpenSuse (13.1 currently) I've had terrible problems with Firefox. It displays the usual memory leak problems that programs often show, getting slower and slower until it becomes unresponsive until I kill it and restart. Sometimes it happens within minutes of restarting, so I think it's related to whatever technology the web pages are using. I just did one of those FaceBook polls where you select radio buttons, and that one stopped Firefox dead in it's tracks. Over the past year, I've upgraded Firefox through official channels. Is there any recommendation for a version that works? Thanks, Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Running e2fsck to check ext4 files system

In the past I would boot into oS in Level #1 and then execute, as root, the command- mount -o remount,ro /dev/sda<x> followed by e2fsck dev/sda<x> However, when I try to do same at the moment I get the 'error' message stating that "sda<x> is BUSY. I need to check the condition of the file system to determine whether my HDD is failing or it is the ext4 file system is corrupted.

[opensuse] Hard Disk Upgrades
by Paul Groves 11 Sep '14

11 Sep '14

I have a 160GB 3.5" Disk for my swap and root partitions and it has a few bad sectors. I would like to change this disk to a 2.5" 160GB Disk I also have a 500GB 3.5" disk for my home partition that I would like to replace with 2x1TB 2.5" in RAID1 (Mirror) Does anyone have any advice on how I should go about upgrading my disks? I have not had to do this in linux before and would like to get it right first time. All I know is that cloning the disk in the case of my root drive will not work due to the disk ID but I cannot find a working guide on how to do this correctly.. I have no clue what to do for the RAID. My MoBo supports RAID, should I use this functionality or set up a software RAID with opensuse? What are the steps to replace a disk in a mirror if one was to fail? Is it a simple process like on my FreeNAS?

[opensuse] streamed radio program question
by Istvan Gabor 11 Sep '14

11 Sep '14

Hello: I would like to listen and record programs from this streamed radio program: http://radio.hrt.hr/ Click on "Slušaj uživo". This opens a window with a flash player and the stream is played by flash player. The stream's exact address is: http://www.hrt.hr/streamf/PROGRAM1 It also starts buffering the program and you can move the slider backward and forward for selecting what to play. The maximum time interval for this buffering is 30 minutes. My questions: 1. What kind of streaming is this exactly? Is there any way to play the stream with another program/application than flash player? For example a command line tool which does not require GUI interface. 2. How and where is the buffered sound stored? What is the mechanism of being able to go back and forward within the 30 minutes time frame? Is the sound buffered in computer memory, on hard disk, or on the stream server? How could I find it out? 3. If I turn off playing the stream by clicking the stop button the buffered sound/time is lost. Turning on it again starts the buffering from 0 min again. Would it be possible somehow to recover the previously buffered sound? I'd appreciate any opinion or suggestion.

I think a reboot should be recomended. I just did the update, and the list of stale apps (zypper ps) is tremendous. Even an "init 1" does not clear all. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Latest TB update sends draft messages

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm using Thunderbird 31.1.0 updated today from the Update repository. The system is running KDE 4.14 on openSUSE 13.1 x86_64. I have noticed that messages sent to mailing lists appear to be duplicated, but further inspection shows each copy to be partial, with a bit more text added to each one, until the final version, which is as it was when I clicked the 'Send' button. I haven't changed any settings, and the 'Copies and Folders' setting appears to be correct (ie. save drafts on the IMAP Drafts folder of my ISP), but the Drafts folder is empty, even while I compose this message. Maybe I should revert to TB 24.7, but then I'd be missing out on security patches. Anyone else seen this behaviour?
