[opensuse] disable KDE4 "new acticvity" button
by Istvan Gabor 11 Jan '15

11 Jan '15

Hello: I would like to remove the button saying "New Activity" (cashew?) from my desktop's top right corner. I know that I can remove it by disabling 3 files in /usr/share/kde4/services: plasma-toolbox-desktoptoolbox.desktop, plasma-toolbox-nettoolbox.desktop, plasma-toolbox-paneltoolbox.desktop. But this applies to all users who use KDE4. I would like to remove it specifically from one users desktop. How can I do it? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] USB 3.0 port keeps connecting USB 3.0 devices at USB 2.0 speeds (480Mb/s)
by dendrals 11 Jan '15

11 Jan '15

I am running openSUSE 13.2, 3.16.7-7-desktop, x86_64. One port of my four USB 3.0 ports refuses to connect any USB 3.0 device at USB 3.0 speeds. It will only go so far as to connect the device at 480Mb/s (USB 2.0 speeds). All four USB ports are physically equipped for USB 3.0 (they have the extra pins). The other three ports on this machine all connect devices at 5Gb/s with no issue.

[opensuse] looking at the available widgets when adding widget to panel in KDE4
by Istvan Gabor 10 Jan '15

10 Jan '15

Hello: Still openSUSE 13.1 with KDE4. I would like to add widgets to the panel (add widget). The user interface is set to Hungarian and I don't have a clue what the widget's name is in Hungarian, so I can't search for it. I would like to find it by looking at all the available widgets by paging or scrolling the widget line but couldn't find out how to. Any idea? By the way it is really hard to find where to click to enable the "add widget" option when the panel/task bar is full of applications. Always the application's or system tray's setting options are shown.

[opensuse] About XFS size in 32/64 bit Linux
by Carlos E. R. 10 Jan '15

10 Jan '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm preparing an XFS partitioned 2TB hard disk in an external enclosure, using openSUSE 13.1 64 bit, but I intend to use it under 13.1 32 bit. Should I expect problems? I read about an issue regarding xfs and 32 bit vs 64 bit on big partitions, but I'm unsure about what it affects this "early" in the morning :-) What I have read recently is about a weird issue with layout on external enclosures, regarding the sector size of 512/4096. Apparently when accesing via usb the bridge chipset can lie to the kernel or mkfs.xfs so that it thinks that the disk has 512 byte sectors (this does not affect sector start alignment on 1 MB, it's a different issue). Thus, to avoid this possible issue, I want to format the disk using SATA directly, which means using my 64 bit desktop machine, not the older 32 bit machine which doesn't have sata, where the disk is going to be used mostly. (If this question is too specific for this mail list, I'll ask on the xfs mail list instead) - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Loss of sound output
by Bob Williams 10 Jan '15

10 Jan '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yesterday, my sound output suddenly stopped. My system is openSUSE 13.2 with KDE 4.14.3. The kernel is 3.16.7-7-desktop. The hardware is a 6 year old tower with 8GB RAM. The soundcard is an ASUS Xonar D1. The sound architecture is pulseaudio running on top of ALSA, and the card sends its output to an external hifi amplifier. When thing went wrong yesterday, I think it followed a re-login or a reboot. When I play sound from gmpc (an mpd client) both gmpc and Pulseaudio volume control behave as if everything was working OK. In gmpc, the progress slider moves from left to right through each track, and the tracks "play" one after another. Similarly, PA volume control shows a moving output level for the MPD daemon. The most useful information comes from KDE System Settings > Multimedia > Audio and Video Settings, which now only shows PulseAudio Sound Server in the Device Preference list. Prior to the failure there was a list of about six devices, all variations on the Xonar D1, but most of which produced no output. However, Analog Stereo always worked. After the reboot/re-login which resulted in the loss of sound, there was a single hardware device shown with a different name (sorry, I didn't note it down). Yast Sound shows a single device (I disabled the onboard sound device in the BIOS a long time ago) as card 0, Virtuoso 100 (Xonar D1), using driver snd-virtuoso. If I remove and reinsert the output lead, the hifi system buzzes briefly as the mini-jack goes back in, which suggests there cable is OK and there is still life in the card. I have googled for an answer, and though there is lots about configuring sound from the alsa level upwards, there is nothing on a suddenly silent system. My own feeling is that something has changed at the sound driver or ALSA level. YaST has never offered any configuration options for this card. Any suggestions, please?

[opensuse] TV-out with nouveau

Hello: This is on openSUSE 12.2 with KDE3 desktop. I would like to use tv-ot with the nouveau driver. xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau-0.0.16_20120321_ab7291d-3.5.1.x86_64 libdrm_nouveau1-2.4.33-2.3.2.x86_64 The nouveau driver is loaded (lots of NOUVEAU in /etc/Xorg.0.log) but the TV-screesn stay blank. xrandr reports: > xrandr xrandr: Output TV-1 is not disconnected but has no modes Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 4096 x 4096 VGA-1 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 444mm x 355mm 1280x1024 60.0*+ DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) TV-1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) The video card is Nvidia FX 6200. TV out worked with nvidia driver nicely but due to a bug I've replaced that driver. How can I active TV-out in this setup? It is not HDMI, it's a legacy TV-out (S-video/composite) Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] vlc 2 interface language

08 Jan '15

Hello: This is on openSUSE 13.1 with its default KDE4 desktop. I have installed vlc 2.1.5 from packman repo. KDE4 desktop language is set to Hungarian, but the vlc interface is English. I would like to set it to Hungarian. All google results suggest that I can change the language in Preferences/Interface, but I don't have any option for changing the language there. What is the trick? KDE4 apps have Hungarian menus etc. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
