by Oleg 14 Sep '14

14 Sep '14

Two weeks past since the release of Firefox 32, but it isn't available through official update repo. Why? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to make apache less sensitive to config errors?
by Per Jessen 14 Sep '14

14 Sep '14

Does anyone know of a way of making apache simply ignore e.g. a <VirtualHost> config which has a config error? Such that apache would just start but without that particular <VirtualHost>? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.0°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Links from external apps end up in file:///var/tmp/kdecache-bob/krun/31085_0_

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is a problem I had many years ago, and I can't remember how it got solved. I've also tried googling, but I suspect I'm not using the best search terms to get the answer I need. When I click on a link in an email message in Thunderbird 31.1.1 (recent upgrade from the Mozilla repo), Firefox 32.0 tries to open a link such as file:///var/tmp/kdecache-bob/krun/31085_0_. As this is not a page on the WWW but simply a file on my local machine, it is useless. Any suggestions, please?

[opensuse] Problem Installing Older Distro
by Bob Rea 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

I recently acquired a Lenovo 515 Desktop. I tried to install 11.3 which I had downloaded a while back and accidentally blew away Windows 8.1, which was an ugly mess. One I got it installed and running KDE, it set the resolution of the Dell P990. No other resolution is available. This means that the viewport is too small. Some apps I have scroll bars and others not. I am managing to download 13.1, which was impossible on Windows for some reason. I have no other computer. Has anyone else had suck a problem, and if so, how have you dealt with it. And maybe I could use some live help in the Atlanta US area, specifically Norcross, GA. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OrgX KDE Mozilla latency
by Anton Aylward 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

So far I've only noticed this being acute in the Mozilla apps but I'll experiment with others. I pretty much live, some days, with email and web browser, those being Thunderbird and Firefox. This last week or so I've noticed latency problems For example, when I click on 'send' or 'spelling' there is a delay of more than a second before the dialog box comes up. There is no delay with typing in the composition window or scrolling the message list. I get a similar effect in Firefox. If it were just Thunderbird I'd think that Thunderbird(gtk) on KDE on X was having problems creating new windows and dialog boxes (especially modal ones!), but with firefox there gets to be latency n scrolling. I don't think its just rendering as its not simply page or begin/end jumps. Scrolling one line at a time with the mouse wheel or clicking the arrow on the scroll bar has latency. And its a 'sometimes' phenomena and that 'sometimes' can apply to the same page at the same site. When I use the bottom pane to switch application windows there is no latency. And no I'm not running Plasma and yes I am fully up to date | Alias | Name 1 | KDE_Current | KDE_Current 2 | KDE_Current_Extra | KDE_Current_Extra 3 | Kernel_standard | Kernel_standard 4 | Toganm_Photography | Toganm Photography 5 | X11_Xorg | X11_Xorg 6 | LibreOffice | LibreOffice 7 | Filesystems | BuildService - filesystems 8 | download.opensuse.org-mozilla | BuildService - Mozilla [snip] Any ideas why the latency? -- The only secure computer is one that's unplugged, locked in a safe, and buried 20 feet under the ground in a secret location... and i'm not even too sure about that one" -- Dennis Huges, FBI. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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). Thanks for your help, Luis Manuel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

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.

A new Xeon from Intel: 1200-1800. Now some of those figures are a few years old, but $4000???... maybe back 15-20 years ago? 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). Variance of drives accepted as 'GOOD' by LSI controller: <1%. > With today's newer multi-core processors you simply can not > make a business case for raid cards over MDRaid. --- Spending $500 to NOT trash system cache and get a 2x I/O boost that constantly monitors flags and rebuilds seems like it would be worth it. 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
