[opensuse] KDE3 kicker hangs with 100% CPU use
by Istvan Gabor 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Hello: This occurs on openSUSE 13.1 with KDE3 (from KDE repo). I have installed many packages through yast2 package manager. After this when go to KDE3 start menu -> graphics, the desktop hangs, top shows that kicker uses 100% CPU. I removed ~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc but it did not make a change (after restarting the system). It also occurs to a new test user with a newly created KDE3 desktop, so this is not a user specific symptom. How could I trace and possibly fix this?

[opensuse] memtest only seeing 48GB out of 64GB?
by Greg Freemyer 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

All, I have a new machine with 64GB per the bios (and the receipt). Windows 8.1 and Memtest are only reporting 48GB. Do I need to do anything, or do I have a defective RAM chip? Is there a Live Leap DVD I can try? == details I have a new custom-built desktop machine with 64GB or ram (in theory). Its a ASUS X99 mother board. It came with Windows 8.1 pre-loaded, but Windows is only reporting 48GB. As a first troubleshooting test I have a openSUSE 13.1 live DVD that I'm using to boot. The normal boot/kernel is halting, apparently due to a graphics issue. (I will try Leap if there's a live dvd?) The 13.1 failsafe boot works, but top is only showing 4GB. I assume that is a feature of failsafe. Memtest starts fine, but it is only reporting 48GB.

[opensuse] TW difficulty starting XFCE
by ellanios82 18 Jan '16

Hello List , frequently TW xfce takes a long time to start , and gets stuck at 'xfsettingsd' - if one can delete all in directory /var/lib/systemd/coredump , then there is a better chance of success at the next boot attempt . ......... regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] dracut emergency shell - where to mount root?
by Per Jessen 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

In earlier openSUSE releases, I'm sure I used to mount on /dev/root and then leave the emergency shell with exit or Ctrl-D ? With dracut emergency shell, I have tried /dev/root and /sysroot, both found on the 'net - neither seems to work. I've tried openSUSE 13.2 and Leap both. Background - afaict, dracut or yast does not correctly create an initrd when root is on nfs. For the first boot, I would therefore manually mount root and continue, then correct the initrd. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-4.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Dear openSUSE admin, What happened to this patch? I tried to update my Evergreen 11.4 system but this patch did not show up. My repositories are configured correctly and I used to update the system just fine.

[opensuse] xset s 600 s blank does not appear to work
by don fisher 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

When I am under on of the other window managers, like Fvwm, my screen now fails to dim after the prescribed time. This was working in the past, before my system crash, and I lost my notes on what to do. If I run openSuse System Settings, manually enable Power Management, then go to Power management I can set a time to dim the screen. But I used to be able to do that directly under X. Doesn't xset work under X any more? I tried doing the xset as root, also without success. Is there some set of services I can enable to provide the screen blanking? Thanks, and sorry for the a bit off topic Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] desktop icons and folderview swapping sides
by ianseeks 17 Jan '16

17 Jan '16

Hi Is there any key combination that can cause my desktop layout to swap sides? My desktop has 2 icons (firefox and skanlite) on the hand side and a folderview on the right. I closed down the 2 programs i was using (firefox and Libreoffice writer) and discovered the icons and folderview had swapped sides. Prior to launching firefox and writer i resized the folderview by holding down the mouse button to launch the resize menu and enlarged it. Any ideas?
