At least with 11.4 on a 12-core AMD, the NOUVEAU driver is a crock for this. Not merely does character reflection and many other things take ages, it dies horribly far too often. NVIDIA's driver seems better. This is purely for information, as my problem is solved for now.

2.What directory contains some of the utilities available on the system in the form of binary files?
3. What command is used to search the location of a utility?

My configuration is OpenSuSE 11.4/KDE4/32bit. I am noticing that for about 20 minutes (or more) after first login every time there is a process which takes 100% CPU for most of the time and, of course, slows everything down. The system monitor suggests it is the 'tracker-miner' process (whatever that is). Do I need the tracker-miner? What good does it do? Is there any way to stop it (not to start it)?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop and installed the AMD restricted drivers (Radeon HD 5770). I installed compizconfig-settings-manager and compiz-fusion-plugins-extra. All of the plugins have worked fine so far. However, while "Cube Reflection and Deformation" works, I cannot change the settings. Specifically, I tried changing the cube caps from the visually irritating logos to which it defaults to plain white, but the logos stayed. I also tried removing the annoying "Reflection" option, but to no avail.
I soon discovered that none of my settings would apply to the plugin, although they would display as though they were applied in the settings manager. Changing the settings in other plugins, like "Desktop Cube," works fine. So far, I am sticking just with the "Desktop Cube," "Rotate Cube," and "3D Windows" plugins, but I would really like that cylinder. And I have used Compiz, including the deformation plugin, for years with no difficulty.
I'm working through some problems in a beginners programming book. The author mentions a formula for calculating the number of ways of picking out n things from a collection of m of them:
Code:
/ m m!
| | = -----------
n / n! (m-n)!
But he does not give a name for the formula. Does anyone happen to know what it is called? I need to do some related research.
Ive noticed this in 2 places specifically.The first is when I try to open the only "tarball" program Ive ever tried to install, Celtx. I unpacked the program into my bin folder, and when clicking (or double clicking) on either the executable file or the shell script nothing happens. If I double click on shell script, and then on the executable, I get an error saying "celtx is already running but not responding. To open a new window you must first close the existing celtx process, or restart your computer".
The second time is when I get a notice on my screen about new security updates available.I click on it, and it opens up the "software update" window with the updates it wants to nstall already checked. I click "install updates" and nothing happens. If I click the help button, it gives me an error "failed to execute child process "gnome-help"". Im guessing this one is because Im not using gnome, but XFCE. If I open up online update using yast, I can update from there and install these files fine.So basically the second problem is not that big of a deal, since Im able to install the files from a different area. Its just annoying and I dont know if it means there is a deeper bug in my system. The first problem makes me unable to run a program I really wan to run, so thats the one I really need the most help with.
Does a repo exist for this organizer program for openSuse? It looks like it has potential.

I am looking for a simple app that cut and past some thing that is been displayed on my desktop.

Firefox informed me that I should get the latest version. I naively listened to that voice, and was taken to a download screen. I downloaded it. I was hoping for a self-installer, because I'm used to windows. It opened in KPackageKit, or something named similar. I extracted it to my documents, because frankly, I have no idea where to extract it to. Anywhere's I've looked says that most software comes as a package, which you can search for and install in YaST. I searched for "firefox", and nothing new came up. how to extract things to the right place/install them correctly with YaST?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Tecra A7 with Intel 945GM. /boot is in a Ext4 partition and the rest is LVM2 splitten in 3 (/: Ext4, /home: Ext4 and swap). There is also a windows partition in the disk: I have installed openSUSE 11.4 (clean but keeping my /home directory untouched why is there since my openSUSE 11.2 installation). I have the following questions:
1.- During the installation I tried to shrink the windows partition and grow the LVM2 . The installer said that the partition was in use and could not be modified. I thought that during the installation the parititions where not mounted. Why is this? How can I grow now the physical volume (not the logical ones)?
2.- Solving this problem I realized that there a lot of duplicate files in .kde and .kde4. Can some of these be deleted?
3.- At boot, the computer frequently freezes after GRUB. Is right after selecting an option in GRUB, so it might be at mounting. In the failsafe configuration, it happens less frequently. How can I diagnose what is really going on?
4.- Every time I navigate into a webpage which contains a login form, Chrome ask me to unlock kdewallet. It is extremely annoying because this happens with all webpages, not just the ones in which I am registered.
I didnt quite understand the guide on S2RAM. For example, when doing this:
Code:
linux-a7dy:/home/gabriel # s2ram -f -a3
switching from vt7 to vt1... succeeded
fbcon fb0 state 1
s2ram_do: No such device
fbcon fb0 state 0
switching back to vt7... succeeded
Does that mean it worked? I ran it both from the minimun enviroment and from KDE and got the same things on text, but no actual suspend of the system!
I was using openSUSE, then went to Mint. Before I had to tinker with all sorts of settings, and things to get wireless internet to work. Ubuntu just detected what drivers I needed & its simply got my wireless to work all on its' own.
Is 11.3 similar? I want to move back to openSUSE, but I don't want to tinker with this. I want to use my time on the computer for more productive things.
I'm at step 2c in the sticky "My wireless doesn't work - A primer." and yes, my HTC G1 phone isn't listed and your sticky says nothing more can be done. So, my question is how lsusb generates that list... Is it querying the device, extracts the information and prints that information to the display or is SuSE comparing whatever info is returned, matches that information (eg VendorID/ProductID) to a database of supported devices, then prints the result to display?
This is important, because if the former is true, then it looks like I may be SOL getting this to work in SuSE. If the latter is how things really work, then I assume that if I'm able to add an entry for my phone things can proceed.
Running Opensuse 11.1 on an HP laptop. When I resume from hibernation or standby, I usually have to wait for about a minute for the wireless card to find my router. Is there any way to speed up this time to connect process ?
Interestingly when I boot from cold, the wireless connection is most times ready to go as soon as the boot has finished. So just wondering how I can make things quicker for resume from standby or hibernation
I was messing around with the alternate character panel app and made a custom character set. I then wanted to put it on a new panel and created a new panel. I moved the character set to that panel, and then started to mess around with the panel settings (auto hide, show hide buttons, and expand, to be specific.) So far so good, until I moved the panel from the right side of the screen to the top. I already had a panel here, and it seemed not to like hiding a panel when there was already one on the top.
When the new panel hid itself, all my panels stopped responding (any clicks on them did nothing) and my processor started going at 100%. I tried a reboot and the only thing that changed is that now I can't even see my panels. I'm guessing I need to change the settings back manually through the prompt, but I don't know how to do that. I am using 10.04 and have not upgraded gnome since upgrading to 10.04.
In my terminal , there's always a tab-like(a long space) between the "pswz-zhangy@linux-buym:~>" and the cursor, how can i get rid of if?

View 9 Replies View Relatedwhat I want to know is if there's anyone out there that is into MUDs and if so, what muds do you play and are they active? (50-100+ users daily). If you could give me a short description of the one you play, that would be helpful.
Yes, I know MUDs were like..Five years ago, but I found Realms of Despair and I really like it. So, I am looking for more MUDs that I might enjoy. In all honesty, I would like to find a MUD that's not focused on the Medieval ages, for that's all I seem to find. So, if anyone could point out a few good ones, preferably free for the time being, because I'm not hardcore into them and willing to pay just yet.

View 3 Replies View Relatedthe problem is how to have a "backslashed R", looking at here and picking up Combining Diacritical Marks you can see all the unicode combining diacritical marks like the one to have a "slashed R" that is U+0338, so if you type R and ctrl>shift>U 0338 >return you obtain R̸,but if you want a "backslashed R" and you type R and ctrl>shift>U 20e5 >return you obtain R⃥, and it isn't what you wantto do this you can use also gucharmap or kcharselect, I tried and them work for U+0338 and doesn't work for U+20e5, so, thinking that it was a gucharmap problem I mailed to gnomebugs here , I red this too here:
