I have an obvious error in the menu of Evince: http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/evincebugqx3fjckpil.jpg Any pointers what that could be? Any changed icon directories in OpenSuSE 13.1 ?

[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_

I've also tried googling, but I suspect I'm not using the best search terms to get the answer I need.

[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
