[opensuse] Converting from firefox to chrome(ium)
by Anton Aylward 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

Has anyone made this conversion successfully. I tried it earlier today and met with problems a) importing the settings from firefox at all! Only a limited part of the bookmarks came though, what was on the menu bar. None of my daily snapshots came though. I don't know about forms etc. I never got that far. b) I had a backup/bookmarks of my current tabs and imported just that and tried opening them all. The tabs were unreadable compared to FF, and I could not get any of them to actually display. After a while the load factor crept up into the 50s. I've never had it that high on Linux before. It renders the machine unusable. So whatever shortcomings FF has I don't see that I can replace it with Chrome. What am I doing wrong? What am I missing? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Help with setting CPU frequency
by don fisher 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

This one has been a real problem for me. I will provide a brief summary, and more specifics if requested. I have a couple of older laptops (AMD based Dell 1721) that I would like to use for reading documents etc. It took hours to install openSuse on them because the CPU speed is kept at the lowest level. If I do a cpupower frequency-info, it provides a range of valid values from 0.8GHz to 2.2GHz. When I examine entries in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq I find: cpuinfo_max_freq 2200000 cpuinfo_min_freq 800000 cpuinfo_cur_freq 800000 scaling_max_freq 800000 scaling_min_freq 800000 bios_limit 800000 I am worried about the "bios_limit" being set so low, and where does that setting come from. I did a grep on /etc, /usr/lib, /usr/lib64 and /usr/share and could find no file referencing bios_limit. When I searched /lib I found three modules, including the powernow-k8 module that included that reference. This bios_limit entry is also not present on my other, faster, machine, which does limit overclocking. And I see no place in the 1721 BIOS setup that allows setting a limit on CPU speed. The list of available governors is userspace, ondemand and performance (currently set to userspace, probably because I tried manually the cpupower frequency-set -f 1800000 command, which had no effect. I am back on my faster machine now, and plan to unroll the kernel source and see what I can discover there. I do not know if powernow-k8 sets, or just reads that entry. Any help would be appreciated. I just do not understand why the cpuinfo_max_freq entry can be set to 2.2GHz, while a limit is also set to 0.8GHz.

[opensuse] Any where to go for help with X widows and an external monitor
by don fisher 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

Hello again, I have tried everything I can think of, including building a new 13.2 system, but I cannot get openSuse to boot with an external monitor attached. I do not understand the different layers present in openSuse, and why one is required to open the system settings and manually configure the external display after the boot. What does the Display and Monitor application know about that the system is ignorant of before my manual intervention. There was a time back when one generated an xorg.conf file that contained all of the settings for all of the monitors and graphics adapters. No user space application was required to enable the external monitor, and the boot scripts appeared on both screens, if configured that way. Now if I boot with the external monitor the refresh rates are trashed. If I ctrl-alt-backspace and get back to the X server, remove the external display, it comes up synced correctly. Then I can go and manually add the external monitor. But I am in a situation where the computer and its screen are not convenient. I have a hub that allows me to switch my monitor, mouse and keyboard between many computers. Why is it designed this way? Is there any way to eliminate the manual step through the Display and Monitor GUI? I do not understand what has been improved by this added complication. What am I missing? I can find no openSuse mailing list for X related issues. I did have this working under Fedora, so I know it is possible. Please advise.

[opensuse] Intermittent freezing of system/desktop
by Bob Williams 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've had this problem off and on for several years, and over several iterations of openSUSE. My current setup is openSUSE 13.2 desktop with KDE5/plasma5. Graphics card is nVidia 9600GT running the latest nVidia proprietary drivers, driving twin monitors. Every so often, the system freezes for between 5 and 60 seconds. The mouse cursor still moves, but windows won't scroll, desktops won't switch and often sound gets cutoff for the duration of the freexe-up. It's irritating, but not a show stopper. I'm running gkrellm, including its 'Proc' viewer. This shows ~540 processes and 4 users, but when the lockup occurs, the brown graph climbs up to the top of the view port then gradually subsides. I've also tried having htop running, but it doesn't provide much useful information - no CPU hogging, no swapping out, etc. It would seem there may be some process that runs away every so often. Is there some file I can monitor or tail to catch it in the act.

[opensuse] sistemad - is /usr/local/lib/sistemad/system the right place for local service units?
by Per Jessen 12 Apr '15

12 Apr '15

Just wondering if /usr/local/lib/systemd/system is the right place? The path isn't created by default at installation time, but that could just be a plain omission. I've created it on a 12.3 system, put a service unit there, works fine. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
