Trying 11.4. But, confused on package managers and update programs.There are no updates found when I run "online update" from yast. But, KPackageKit says updates are available. Why are the two opensuse update programs showing inconsistencies? Which one do I trust?
View 9 RepliesWhenever I check for updates, or download/install them, the openSUSE updater applet never shows the loading bar. The border showing the loading bars position is there but the loading bar never appears. It always sits at 0% but still successfully complete updating.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have 11.1 on a computer. I updated it yesterday. Now K3B, VLC, and XDVDShrink are all broken. Possibly other programs broken as well. VLC refuses to uninstall via Yast. These are high-priority programs for this computer. Multiple people use this computer for multimedia and there is not much to entertain ourselves with in our very cold climate. In other words, it is mandatory that K3B, VLC and XDVDShrink return to operational status.
Should I just upgrade to 11.3, try to fix the broken 11.1? I prefer using KDE3, not KDE4, but I can sacrifice.
using mint 10, now after updates my system is barely working. The programs were no longer showing in the task bar, and the system was running much slower.

This repeated over and over again. My temperature was never to high 40-55, and I found a suggestion to update my kernel to 2.6.37-020637. After doing so there is no longer the thermal limit exceeded error but the computer is still running poorly. The system is slow and again no programs are showing up in the task bar when open.
I received stunnel 4.40-0.6.1 as an update from "zypper up" (openSUSE 11.4).After a reboot, stunnel does not work anymore for the programs that need it.Symptom: the program (emacs+mew) hangs for ever, telling me
"Creating an SSL/TLS connection..."
/var/log/messages does not contain a clue and restarting stunnel via
"rcstunnel restart" looks fine:

can open the programs pe-install, but can't open other programs or install new programs

View 1 Replies View RelatedLucid now has a 'feature' of clogging up the bottom panel, showing open programs twice [normal mode, on the left, compact mode on the right], can this be disabled?
I've attached a screenshot of what I mean, in case I'm not completely clear: see the compact open program thingy's right next to the workspace switcher.
Take a look at my picture to understand what I'm talking about. I have a bunch of programs open right now and I can't see the name of the programs on my toolbar. Is there hopefully a way to see all open programs on your toolbar when this happens?
In windows OS's when you have multiple windows from the same program open they group themselves together, and on MAC OS's they have a toolbar that you can easily scroll through.
I have Ubuntu 10.04LTS and my bottom taskbar is no longer showing open programs or minimized programs. How do I fix this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've just did a fresh install of Xubuntu 9.10 x86 in a 4 gig pendrive.Just one ext4 partition for / and /home and a swap partition. Only one user created during installation.Everything's fine so far except for two things:-If I launch synaptic from the start menu, it asks for my password which I type in or even copy-paste to be sure.Strangely it always comes back saying incorrect password. If I open a terminal and call "sudo synaptic" and type in my password when prompted, the application shows up fine. Again if I do the same via the Run dialog (alt+F2), that is "sudo synaptic", nothing comes up. If I just type "synaptic", a pop up says that as a user I won't be able to install anything and blah-blah, and the application displays properly
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've installed OpenSUSE 11.2 and I'm pretty happy with over all system, the only issue that I had is with Yast, so far. It gives me alert for security patches but no alert for Software update. When I did "zypper up" as superuser I saw that there are updates available for more that 14 applications but yast didn't show me.
if there is any setting for it or should I file it as a bug.
I haven't had Suse on my machine for a long time and am about to create a dual boot system. Suse 11.1 will be sharing XP Pro SP3. It's on an Acer Netbook 160GB / 2GB I have a partition which contains personal secrets and must remain hidden from prying eyes. I've been using Windows command prompt and the dishpart function to remove and assign said partition. (Mount/Unmount). The partition is effectively hidden from Windows and doesn't appear anywhere and can't be searched. Yes I know it can easily be found by those who are more technical-oriented but it's effectively hidden from those individuals who are nosey.
I've "messed" with Suse quite a few times before, each for a relatively short time getting a little use to the GUI yet still consider myself a novice. I've done a few things in Suse console before but am not extremely familiar or comfortable in it. So I'd like to install 11.1 again for a dual boot. I've freed up 15 gigs of unallocated disk space for Suse. I am planning to have that secret partition assigned and volume made active during Suse install. I'm not sure how Suse install handles unassigned NTFS HDD volumes- whether it's removed or not. How can I hide and show partitions once Suse is installed?
When I installed banshee 1.6.1 from the default repository it worked fine. But I wanted the newest version (1.8.0) for its new features and so I've tried both adding their (openSUSE 11.3) repository and doing it through yast and also installing it (for openSUSE 11.3) straight from their website with the "1-click install". Both of these methods did the exact same thing, just the latter added the repository for me (much simpler/lazier). Now, after installing banshee 1.8.0, it does not show up in the application launcher menu. So, I'm not sure how to open it and/or add it to the kickoff menu.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Suse since 6.5. I am no linux-expert, just power-user for years (no windows, no MAC OS X) at 3 computers at home and at work.
I just did two bare-bone-installs from up-to-date dvds with opensuse 11.3 at two almost identical Dell Inspirion 6400-Laptops. Clear, flawless installation without any workarounds... Same install at a Dell Desktop Computer without any problems. Automatic updating.
But both Laptops are having problems to read and show inserted data-cdroms. Knowing from the old versions and the new opensuse 11.3 at the desktop-PC what should happen, I have no clue what to do.
It is definitely no technical problem:
- the name of the inserted data-cdrom can be seen in k3b
- inserted dvds are triggering the correct action (!) (suggestions are shown what to do with the dvd; cdrom: no results, no suggestions, just a short and proper working of the cd-device itself can be heart)
- the data-cdrom can be mounted manually
What did not help:
- inserting a data-cdrom as root
- changing the permissions of non-root-users
- several updates of opensuse 11.3
- reading several forums (the answers go into the directions newbee-who-does-not-know-how-openuse-works, wrong-installation, wrong-updating-of-an-old-opensuse-version, geek-how-screwed-up-his-installation-with-manual-wrongdoings => nothing which helps in my situation)
This is my hardware-info about the cdrom/dvd-device:

Noticed a few discrepancies in the reports generated on my VPS:
Not sure why but the top command gives an extra 3MB for both used and free memory.
Also, notice that there are a total of 29 rows of information returned by the top command for the httpd process. Each row indicates they took an average of 3.5-3.6%. Well, 29 * 3.5 = 101.5%.
How can this be possible for two things:
1) The number greater than 100%.
2) The number doesn't correlate with the memory usage details returned by the top and free commands.

I just upgraded my home machine to 11.2 and am running the regular Firefox 3.6.10 for openSUSE-11.2 (why can I still not cut and paste that infor from the dialog box, grr).
My home page is set to - file:///home/dhoworth/public_html/localstart.html
But when Firefox starts it shows instead a directory listing of - file:///home/dhoworth/
If I then press the home button, it shows my home page. If I start a new window from an existing one, it shows my home page.
why it isn't shown on startup?
I just installed OpenSuSE 11 and after it was done installing and i rebooted, Windows doesn't show up on the boot screen I only get the default OpenSuSE and Fail Safe options.

Also, while I'm crying for help: cant see the windows box next to me; can ping it, and could browse to it with File Manager yesterday, but not working today ! Also; I tried KDE desktop (like new things) but it's driving me nuts (menus too small, I lose the choices as I move through submenus) and I'd like to go to Gnome ; how to ?
