OpenSUSE :: 11.4 + Gnome Desktop Freezes?

Mar 10, 2011

I have updated Opensuse 11.3 to 11.4. I have also updated to the latest NVIDIA drivers. Now, when Gnome desktop starts it freezes: it draws all the shortcuts on the desktop but I cannot use my wired mouse to click anything as if the desktop has freezed. The cursor shows that something is loading. I cannot also use Ctl + F2 to start xterm... But I can use Ctl + Alt + F12, so the keyboard is working.

Ubuntu :: Broken Path To External HDD In Dolphin?

Dec 11, 2010

I did a backup to an external drive without mounting it so it crammed my root partition to the brim. No worries, some kind soul on here helped me out of that pickle by pointing me to where that partial backup ended up.

However Dolphin now mounts my external as "John Doe 500gb -1." "John Doe 500gb" still exists in Dolphin and I cannot find a way to blow it out so my backup paths are inaccurate as they are not looking for the "-1." Consequently Luckybackup just dumps the backup right back into the root again.

To resuscitate my root partition, I was able to delete files from inside the "JD 500gb" but I cannot delete directories or the whole thing altogether. I tried going into system settings and "forget" it as a drive but that was not the right animal for the job as it doesn't clear Dolphin. I guess I could just rename the drive and make new backup paths but I'd like to learn how to fix the problem instead of a workaround. I did search the net and this forum because I figured it was a common question but couldn't find the right search parameters to get an answer.

OpenSUSE :: Wine - Desktop Freezes Up After Installing 11.3

Jul 18, 2010

i use Newsbin and after installing 11.3 and copying my datafiles from newsbin over, there is a tendency that my desktop freezes up. The only thing working is the mouse, but unable to click anything. Keyboard is death at the point. Is there a logfile from the system that let me see the problem? Did not have freezes with 11.2.

Slackware :: Reading Cdrom And External Drive In Dolphin?

Jun 12, 2010

I inserted a disc and tried to access it through Dolphin. It shows up in the directory explorer thing as a disc and with the disc name, but it has a little / thing in the bottom corner of the icon, and when I try to access it, it gives me this long error on the bottom of the file area (can't remember what all it said, something about 'harvey' and being unable to find the directory in /etc/fstab). The same thing happened with an external drive, which seemed to work fine before but now has the same problem.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Extend Desktop To An External Monitor?

I was unsure whether to post this here or in the laptop section. My problem is that I want to extend the desktop on my laptop to a monitor so that I can use BOTH the monitor and my laptop screen. But I don't see where to do this.

I am running openSUSE 11.4 64-bit.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: USB External Drive Works On Desktop?

Sep 14, 2011

So I've got a weird issue with my usb external drive. It's a generic enclosure in to which I've mounted a toshiba IDE drive. It appears as "Generic USB to IDE bridge".Said drive works fine on every machine I try to use it on, but NOT my laptop. Oh, it will appear in LSUSB, and in dmesg, (sometimes it appears, but the partitions do not, e.g. I see sdc, but not sdc1 and sdc2).

However, on any attempt to access it (it mounts fine too), Dolphin hangs (and so does most of KDE). I assume a disk sleep is the problem. Unplugging the drive resolves the hang. ages later, the drive will copy bits of data in small spurts, until it hangs for some more time. After a while, I see an ACHI/USB reset message in the system logs, and the drive resumes copying for some more time.

The drive is bus powered, but it doesn't matter if I use one/both USB connectors, and like I said, it works fine on my desktop, which also has SuSE 11.4 on it. Any ideas what's going on? Sorry if I left out some info, I wanted to get this out and let you folks stew over it while I'm running some errands.

SUSE / Novell :: How To Mount And Unmount Floppy Within Desktop / Dolphin Filemanager In KDE 4.1?

Feb 23, 2009

Anybody knows how can I mount and unmount a floppy within the desktop and/or dolphin filemanager in KDE 4.1? If I run dolphin I can see a floppy icon on the left, clicking on it seems to activate a reading of the floppy, then I have to go to /media folder and click on /disk folder to display the floppy files, then if a right click on the floppy on dolphin the only option I get is to hide the floppy shortcut, there is no option for unmount the floppy. I tried to make a desktop shortcut to floppy by right clicking on the desktop folder and selecting new device floppy and entering /dev/fd0 on device location, and clicking okay. Even that does not have the unmount command when I right click on the desktop shortcut, so the floppy gets stock in mount state.

also I dont see an applet or the so called plasmanoid when I click on the plasma icon on the right of the task bar and click add widget, on kde 3.5 I have the media applet on the task bar, it worked like a charm, I give a 1000 thanks to the developer of the media applet.

Any ideas on how to mount and unmount my floppy? It is a standard internal floppy, which is connected to the standard floppy controller on the motherboard. The only way to have access to it is logging into kde 3.5 and have the media applet/widget in the taskbar, and then works like a charm, I can mount it or unmount it any time. But I would like to try the new Version 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3) "release 72.4" that I'm running. I believe this is the latest from the opensuse 11.1 KDE 4 STABLE repository, so I know I have the latest patches for KDE 4.

Ubuntu :: Boot Freezes When External HDD Turned On

Sep 3, 2010

I come from the French Ubuntu community (ubuntu-fr.org). When I start or reboot my computer, it crashes (freezes) after the grub menu if the external drive is connected and turned on. Subsequently, I have no problem with the external hard drive. The HDD is formated in NTFS, no boot loader, no OS installed on.

OpenSUSE :: 11.2 With KDE 4.4.3 - Dolphin And NFS Shares

Jun 11, 2010

This is the set up
1. Server with ldap for authentication and autofs maps
2. Client machines have home directories on this server (nfs3) these machines also have some 'shared' directories on the same server (nfs4)

Now if I use a terminal I can always create files in the shared directories (subject to the relevant permissions) - I can also always save files in OO and the like. The problem is that Dophin sometimes has the create greyed out and sometimes it doesn't. So now I am at a loss as to why. This is 11.2 with kde 4.4.3 btw

OpenSUSE :: Previewing Icons In Dolphin?

Aug 6, 2010

I have just installed suse 11.3 and I have a problem in previewing images. Dolphin does preview the images, but they look corrupted. When I point with the mouse, images are shown perfectly on the information area on the right. I found that as I increase the preview size from the default 64 pixels to the maximum 256 pixels, most of the images are previewed correctly, but will only have 3 images per row

OpenSUSE :: Dolphin 1.5.9 Won't Restart / Why This Is Happening?

Aug 29, 2010

Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening. I am able to start Dolphin normally either via keyboard shortcut or application launcher menu.

However if I close or exit out of the application I am then unable to open it again. Instead I get a bouncy icon and and spinning circle in the task bar and then nothing ......

Running a ps aux | grep from the CLI gives me the following processes that must be manually killed before I can reopen Dolphin.

icarus@linux-xjxa:~> ps aux | - Anonymous - xbswAMYR - Pastebin.com

any suggestions? I have tried disabling nepomuk and strigi thinking that might have been an issue but I still get the same problem. I also tried removing dolphinrc and dolphin from ~/.kde4/share/config and ~/.kde4/share/apps respectively... still no bueno.

I am running KDE Trunk repos on 11.3 x86_64

OpenSUSE :: Slow File Copying With Dolphin?

May 10, 2010

When I copy files from one partition to another, or from one drive to another, the transfer rates hover around 5-8MB/sec which is kind of slow given that all my hard drives are SATA II. I have the same problem when copying either a single file or a group of files.

I'm running openSUSE 11.2 x64 here (KDE 4.3.5) with three SATA II hard drives that are all formatted with ext3. I have dropped to the CLI and used mv and cp instead - this seems to improve things but I shouldn't have to do this.

OpenSUSE :: Any Possibility To Split Dolphin Horizontally

Aug 6, 2010

I might become a new kde4 user within a few weeks since I am testing suse 11.3 and kde4 seems to be, at last, stable enough to be used daily. But, there is one thing that is annoying : I used to split horizontally and vertically ad lib the konqueror file manager to drag and drop any file from a directory to another and have a global view of many directories simultaneously. That great feature doesn't seem to be available in dolphin, which is a good and performant file manager that I'd like to adopt. Any clue to split horizontally dolphin? Plugin? Script? Repository?
