OpenSUSE :: Mousedown Is Unreliable, KDE 4.4?
Nov 8, 2010
When dragging, or holding the mouse down in general the mouse tends to 'let go'. In some situations the mouse grabs *through* the window. For example, I may be scrolling in okular and suddenly find myself dragging an item in the browser below. The behavior is independent of the application (it may fall through Dolphin onto Okular just as easily). Highlighting text is the worst performing... It usually takes two to three goes to get the right range. Is this a known issue? Known solution?

I have a TV connected to my 11.4 laptop all the time, when I boot Grub outputs its options on the TV screen, then lizard appears for a couple of seconds and then it switches to notebook monitor to continue booting. Or not. About half the time both screens, TV and notebook, go black and nothing happens.
So far I just reboot and wait until the switch from tv to monitor is successful, if that happens everything boots and loads fine. It's like unwatched milk - everything is okay until the moment you turn away and the milk boils over. Boot hardly ever fails if I sit and watch it but sometimes I get two fails in a row.
Never seen this behavior with 11.3 on the same notebook with the same hdmi always plugged in.It's a Core i5 with integrated Intel and a separate nVidia graphic card, what other info is needed? Grub? Dmesg output? Maybe there's a boot log file somewhere, too.

I'm using an HDMI connection, and the sound connection is unreliable at best. When it works, it is working fine, then all of a sudden (maybe because it isn't being actively used for an extended period of time)the sound connection vanishes. When at System --> Preferences --> Sound --> Output I'm not seeing any option for the HDMI connection currently and the sound is not working. All the volumes are unmuted and I cannot use a softphone nor .....,nor do videos that I have watched in the past with sound have any.
Last night when this happened, I rebooted and the sound was working just fine then. In the past, I was able to get the computer to recognize the HDMI connection has sound by momentarily unplugging it, then plugging it back in. Though both last night and today that hasn't worked.When I bought my computer, I had Windows 7 installed on it. The same thing was happening then, though it was always fixed via disconnecting the HDMI connection briefly, so there is the possibility of it being a hard ware issue.
I've also tried turning off the device (a HDTV in this case) and turning it back on, but that only solved it once or twice, and neither last night nor today.This is also a 64 bit computer, should that be relevant. Using Ubuntu 10.10, and the only available update to my system at the moment is Google Chrome, which I will be updating after this post.I will be restarting my computer after that update and posting back here if the sound is working, especially with note of whats listed at the System --> Preferences --> Sound --> Output if there are any additional options (from memory, there was an HDMI choice there).

In general, OpenOffice is quite buggy. My latest problem has been printing. I have this .dot file. When I print it to a networked printer, the document never prints. However, these work:Print to PDF. Printing to a file, transferring the file to the destination machine, and printing it works. Transfer the document. If I print the document directly on the destination system using LibreOffice, it works fine. Printing a web page. This works fine. Since I have a workaround, it's not so crucial that this be fixed. I'm just venting .

I am using a Sealink PN 2202 USB serial adapter on a linux box (Ubuntu 10.4) running kernel 2.6.32-28-generic. I have written a perl script to simply log the incoming RS232 data (9600 8N2) and it works fine when I start it from a bash shell:
perl /home/pk/PerlCode/RS232_D4_v11.pl
However, I need the computer to boot and start logging after a POR. If I try to use Startup Manager to execute my script everything seems ok but I randomly loose about 20% of the incoming RS232 data. In Startup Manager I use the command
gnome-terminal --title="D4 RS232 Log" --execute bash -c "perl
/home/pk/PerlCode/RS232_D4_v11.pl"
If I close the automatically-started script and restart it from a bash shell, I again will randomly loose about 20% of the incoming RS232 data. It almost seems like I have screwed up the driver by using the Startup Manager. The only way I can get reliable logging again is to remove the script from Startup Manager, then restart the computer and manually launch the perl script. I was thinking that maybe the order in which the driver was loaded and perl script started might be an issue. So I tried a bash script that sleeps for 15seconds, then starts the perl script. Again, I loose random pieces of incoming data when this is initiated by Startup Manager.
Here is some more info:

I just got a wireless card and I've been having connection issues under Linux. The chipset I have is a Ralink 2860 (the card itself is an Asus PCE-N13) and supports 802.11n speeds up to 300 mbps. I am connecting to a DLink DIR-655 router, which also supports 802.11n at 300 mbps. I get full bars when connecting to my router, and my router's connection information shows my computer connected as 802.11n with the signal at around 80%, but the data rate is usually around 5.5 mbps. (I've rarely seen it go up to 18 mbps) I can confirm this woefully slow speed with anything I try to do over the network. Additionally, my wireless connection will sometime be disconnected and network manager will often fail to connect. When it fails to connect, my router lists my comptuer with the correct IP address, so I know it is successfully connecting to the router and the router is accepting the connection, but network manager seems to not recognize this.
I am running Debian Squeeze (testing), but I have a custom kernel, which is 2.6.35 and is using Debian's kernel configuration. I have the newest firmware from Ralink's website, and I also tried the newest drivers, which made no difference. (I have since removed those drivers, since I'd prefer to use the drivers supplied with the kernel if possible, but I can install them again if necessary) I put this card in my main computer and booted under Windows, and it was able to connect with 100% signal (it's right next to the router) and at 300 mbps. I also tried it under Debian on my main computer (with the stock 2.6.33 kernel), but it only connected as 802.11g, and even at 100% signal it was only connected at 36 mbps. For comparison, my laptop with an 802.11g card and running Mac OS X can achieve the full 54 mbps at 84%.

I have this HP 5610 all-in-one fax machine and have always had the issue of faxes failing either receiving or sending ever since I began using VOIP at home about 5 years ago. I have played with the setting of the fax machine and turned off error correction and etc and it has improved but mostly still fail. Voice quality if fine and my network has no problems that I can tell. I have read on the internet that this is a common issues with VOIP and fax machines. This issue is also happening at a friends house as well.

I can't copy MP3 files to any USB memory stick with nautilus anymore. The MP3 files 'stutter' or jumps to the next song in any music player or the copied folders are just empty. The copies are more 'reliable' when I copy album after album instead of a bulk copy of lets say 10 albums. I tested several sticks and even formatted them.

I'm having all sorts of problems with my wireless connections in an HP Pavilion DM1. I'm sure it was working last week. I have two access points, one with WPA, one unsecured. It's not working with either. I can connect to both of them fine with a wifi USB adapter.
I've tried:
Using Wicd instead of networkmanager
Using the proprietary driver
Installing the linux-firmware package from Oneric (version 1.54)
Changing the frequencies the AP runs on

My F-14 x64 bootup stalls with this message: "K10 temp ... unreliable CPU thermal sensor: monitoring disabled". I'm unable to find an explanation/basis for this message. I can boot from CD#1 and chroot onto the disk - near as I can tell, all the data is there. Might this be the result of a corrupt boot up sequence file and, if so, which one(s)?

I am setting up a display system that will not have a keyboard/mouse and automatically boots into gnome and starts up firefox to a display page. The page is optimized to a 720p resolution which I can set when we use a TV for the display, but is not an option if we use a monitor. I am trying to find a way to set the resolution to 720p automatically on boot up. I am always using 16x9 displays with a DVI connection (to HDMI on TVs)
I was able to get one monitor working by creating a script and setting it to load in the Startup Applications as shown:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
scnres="1280 720 60"
modeline=$(cvt -v $scnres | grep Modeline)
modeline=${modeline#Modeline }

In an effort to reduce/eliminate adware, I installed Provoxy from the F12 repos using yumex. The config file is unchanged except for the addition of the this line: forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .
I note that rpm placed the following (/etc/rc.d/init.d/privoxy), and that in that file are the following lines:
I seem to recall that network manager was changed somewhat to allow those using static ip addressing to NOT do dhcp on boot. Could this be the reason for the non-starting of the privoxy service on boot? Sometimes it starts on boot, and other times I must manually start it in Gnome's System->Services.
If these lines and the network starting is the problem, how do I fix it? Can I comment out these lines in this file, or is there somewheres else where I should be looking?

I've got a Fedora 13 box running a bunch of VM's w/ bridged networking.
For some reason, every 10-15 minutes the vm's networking freezes and the vm's become unresponsive to pings and any other network traffic for 10-15 seconds. It eventually gets restored.
I don't see any error messages other than this occasionally on the host: eth0: received packet with own address as source address

Can anyone suggest a good free Virtualization Software Package that work on OpenSuse with the KDE Desktop, as I need to use Windows for some applications that have not got a Linux equivelant, Namely Reserch In Motions BlackBerry Desktop Manager and the drivers for my Printer and Scanner, so I would also need something with USB pass through. Or if there isn't any free virtualization software that will dowat I want that's free then something that is not expensive that's paid for. I like the look of Parallels Desktop 4 for Windows & Linux but I'm not sure if I would be able to justify paying �54.99 for the ammount of use that it will get?

I recently installed opensuse 11.4 on a remote server. It has GNOME installed as a desktop. The problem I am experiencing is that when logged in through VNC, most of the GUI apps are not functioning, especially ones that require root privs. Example: The Add/Create users context does not function. After you supply root pw, nothing happens. If you launch it from a terminal, you see this:
jjmuw@g01:~> xdg-su -c /sbin/yast2 users
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "::1:1.0".
No protocol specified
No protocol specified

(y2base:4872): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: ::1:1.0
Followed by a hang. This is also affecting things like the Xen configuration contexts (creating/managing VMs).

I am having some problems getting the onboard sound card on my Intel DP45SG motherboard to work properly under openSuse 11.1. Yast appears to have detected the card as a 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller, but I cannot get any sound out of the card at all.
I have tried to follow this thread, and have run the alsa-info script, the results of which are posted here. It appears to me that the codec that is listed in the alsa script, which is the IDT 92HD73E1X5, is not the same as that which is listed on Intel's site for this board, which is the IDT 92HD73E codec. Can anyone help me out with regards to getting this going? Additional info below:

I'm experiencing random lockups. There are 2 types.1st time this happened when I enabled Kwin compositing effects. The screen turned black and it froze, the mouse pointer froze. Nothing would move. 5 Minutes later I just hard reset the Laptop. I was afraid something could be corrupted as it was shutdown in a bad way. On boot up Kwin's compositing effects were in place.Randomly working on the laptop, everything will freeze except the mouse pointer. This happens like once in a while though.I have a feeling this has something to do with my Dell Studio 1555 Intel GM4500 MHD graphics.
