[opensuse] font blurry problem, strange, very strange.
by Weiwu Zhang 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Dear all, this is the most weired desktop problem I had since using Linux for 10 years. This happens after upgrade to 13.2 from 13.1. Look at this screenshot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3483854/font_blur_problem.png For example, look at colum I, row 13, you can hardly read it. The blurry font doesn't happen right after boot. It blurs a few minutes after boot. And it only affects newly drawn window - a window with clear fonts won't go blur unless it is redrawn. It affects the GNOME desktop area (application bar on top of each app window, activities list), as well as applications (gedit, nautilus), as well as non-gtk, like jEdit libreoffice without gnome-integration. It affects document area (Libreoffice Writer's content) as well as widgets, but it doesn't affect Chromium's document area. It affects icons, but only gnome icons (not java application's icons), e.g. the current appplication icon on the lock screen. Changing default gnome font with gnome-tweak-tool doesn't help. A change of font, in my case to "Droid Sans", instantly get all text in clear type, but in a few minutes the newly drawn windows, using the new fonts, gets blurry again. However, changing the font in Java application (jEdit, changing only document font to "Droid Sans Mono") has a lasting effect (on document area only). It never affects web pages. See what's displayed in Chromium in the screenshot's background. - If it is a certain font's problem, why changing font won't help? - If it is a gtk problem, why java apps are affected? - If it is a font system (freetype) problem, why gnome's icons are affected? - If it is a display driver problem, why Chromium web pages never have this? (although Chromium UI elements gets blurry like every other applications) - If it is a monitor problem, why the second external monitor also have this and why the screenshot also shows this problem?

[opensuse] Volume fading
by Jon Cosby 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Hi, The volume is fading on my computer. Radio streams that used to play clearly at about 50% on the main volume control now need to be set at 80-100%. It's a problem in KDE, GNOME and a test account. Doesn't matter which player I use, either. It's been happening a couple of days now, and I haven't updated or done any tinkering in that time. If you want to test them yourself, the streams are http://wglt.org/_resources/streams/wgltblues.pls and http://www.streamlicensing.com/directory/index.cgi/playlist.pls?action=play… Anyone know what might cause this? Thanks. Jon Cosby -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Leap second and old suse systems
by cagsm 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Turns out that I have some very old suse systems, that might be affected by leap seconds this month? I was wondering if running ntp to sync the local time to external ntp sources, isnt that fixing my time on a daily or regular basis anyways, how can a mere second cause trouble if time is adjusted multiple times ever month or week or day anyways? I have some 9.3 x86-64 and some 11.0 x86 and maybe even some other systems that cannot be advanced. Thanks for hints.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, This is 13.1, and I'm running the ntop daemon.

[opensuse] Handbrake broken ?
by Koenraad Lelong 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hi, since a few weeks, I can't use Handbrake anymore on OS13.1. When I manually start it I get : ~> HandBrakeGUI HandBrakeGUI: symbol lookup error: HandBrakeGUI: undefined symbol: _gst_fraction_type Anyone has this also ? Any solution ? I tried uninstalling it and re-installing, but this does not help. I tried finding some config-file but this seems not to exist. ldd /usr/bin/HandBrakeGUI seems to find all needed libraries. Thanks, Koenraad. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello, I got a lot of new lenovo keybords like this: http://blog.lenovo.com/en/blog/switching-function-keys-to-standard-f1-f12-o… this dawn thing needs to press the Fn key to have access to F1, F2... so to type Ctrl Alt F1, you have to add the FN key; needs many fingers :-( the link shows there is a solution, but for windows: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkCentre-A-E-M-S-Series/How-to-set-function… is there a similar solution for openSUSE (13.2, kde)? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Dear OpenSUSE community, we would like to announce the recent open-source release of our GPU-enabled multiphysics software - Advanced Simulation Library. http://asl.org.il/ Here are some remarkable benchmarks: http://asl.org.il/benchmarks/multicomponent_flow/ I hope that it will be included in OpenSUSE as a package in some near future (any volunteers?) but till then you might find it useful in its current form. Happy hacking, Zeev ps: Please, "like" us on Facebook, if you find ASL cool: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Avtech-Scientific/828973737156105 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v11.0 to v11.1 but the PyQt4.Qwt5.Qwt module requires API v9.1
by Marco 07 Jun '15

07 Jun '15

Does anyone known if there is somewhere a repo/rpm with a PyQt4.Qwt5.Qwt "aligned" with the sip module requiring API v11.0? (opensuse 13.2) I could find an rpm with PyQt4.Qwt5.Qw implementing API V10.1, but no more than that. Tnx in advance for the answer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
