[opensuse] OpenSUSE 13.2 thinks its a laptop
I have just install a fresh copy of 13.2 onto my desktop and it seems to think it is installed on a laptop. The icon on the application launcher is a laptop and not a desktop, also I have the battery monitor showing up in the task tray. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You may search for an installed package with laptop in its name and remove it. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Thanks but I searched in Software Manager and non of the packages with laptop in the name are installed. On 5 December 2014 at 13:00, Freek de Kruijf <freek@opensuse.org> wrote:

Another reason I can think off is that you have a special device connected which udev associates with a laptop. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Only just saw your message :) yes I think this is what is happening because of my UPS. Is there a way to tell opensuse it is a desktop and still have the battery monitor work with my ups? Will anything else be affected other than icons and the battery monitor? On 5 December 2014 at 13:21, Freek de Kruijf <freek@opensuse.org> wrote:

Do you have a wireless device that is baterry powered attached.. ? a keyboard/mouse/etc ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
only the same hardware as in opensuse 13.1 which did not have the issue. logitech wireless mouse using the unifying receiver APC BackUPS CS350 (This did not work with the built in power management on 13.1) I am suspecting it is something to do with the UPSbecause this is what the battery monitor is showing?? Still does not explain why I have laptop style icons instead of desktop though On 5 December 2014 at 15:04, Cristian Rodríguez <crrodriguez@opensuse.org> wrote:

In theory, it could be either the wireless mouse battery indicator or the UPS battery monitor..however a safe bet is the mouse. that has some integration with the desktop. It is just that this particular feature didn't work in 13.1 :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
yes I have had no other issues between 13.1 or 13.2 (so far :]) now I will re-install on a blank disk and use a different mouse to confirm this, although it does sound more like the UPS to me seeing as it is now working like a laptop battery. This ups never worked via USB on 13.1 On 5 December 2014 at 19:21, Cristian Rodríguez <crrodriguez@opensuse.org> wrote:

OK I have re-installed on the same hardware without the mouse and it still detects my system as a laptop I re-installed again without the UPS and with the mouse and my system was correctly detected as a regular PC I have re-installed again with the UPS and the system is again detected incorrectly as a laptop. Is there any way of correcting this on my main install without having to re-install the OS from scratch? On 6 December 2014 at 17:11, Paul Groves <paul.groves.787@gmail.com> wrote:

I have been claiming for years that YaST should have a setting to tell if the install is a laptop, desktop, or server. And possibly configure the choices in more details. But nobody seems to want to. So they do it automatically, and funk it. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Completely agree. Their should be an option to choose this manually in the setup wizard and in YaST just like we do with time zone, partitioning, setting up network connections etc etc Does anyone have an idea how I can achieve this manually without having to re-install and configure everything again?
