OpenSUSE :: No Selections Respond Only Kwin Responds To Terminate Application
Aug 3, 2010
I am running KDE 4.4.4 Stable from the openSuSE Repository for KDE 4.4.4 stable as included with 11.3.At first after initial installation Kontact worked and I could access Email, Address Book, Calendar, etc. from the icon bar. Now, Kontact starts, opens the Summary page, but no selections respond, only the Kwin responds to terminate the application, it just seems to hang and has to be killed to terminate. Anyone have similar issue or ideas on what may be causing it? I can start KMail, Kaddressbook, as separate applications and all respond as normal.
Just now Rhythmbox has stopped working. I can't restart it, so I thought I could kill the process to start it again. Is there something like the windows task manager in openSUSE or another way to list all processes and to kill one? I googled an found a few old threads saying that there is a performance monitor which is able to to that, but I can't find that either.
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.
anyone has experiment this? If I install KDE 4.5 on a PC without 3D support kwin crash, if I add a 3D capable video card it works O.o VampirD

I am trying to find out where in the system are the files that store information on the following: 1. keyboard shortcuts, and 2. which applications and which windows were open before the session ended. Regarding (2): I really like the fact that when I log back in, OpenSuse pops up all the windows that I had open before I last logged out. I know that this information must be stored somewhere. And most probably in my home folder. But I can't seem to find it in ~/.kde or ~/.kde4 Regarding (1): Again, I really like the Mac-OS style behavior that one gets with Ctrl+F9/F10. But sometimes I invoke it inadvertently when - as far as I can remember - my fingers were on the trackpad only. I have not been able to figure out how I do it. But I would like to be able to do it consciously - without pressing Ctrl+F9/F10. Does anyone know what could be happening. i have an HP Pavilion dv4 laptop with an otherwise annoyingly sensitive track pad.
I am using openSUSE 11.2 x64 with KDE 4.3.5.I am experiencing sudden, sporadic drops in performance due to the kwin and Xorg processes suddenly consuming large amounts of CPU for a few minutes (maybe 30-40% each) before dropping back to normal (1-3% each). I am seeing this using top.
Is there a way to disable window drag from within the window? I mean, I want the window to be movable only from the title bar. But now even if you drag the window from the content, the drag action is fired.
I have installed Gnome to KDE and above mentioned problem discovered. Kontact was over the whole screen and rotation of display was to the left and right not above and down. After uninstalling compiz the mentioned problems are away.
I have recently updated my ATI drivers to Catalyst 10.10 (ati-driver-installer-10-10-x86.x86_64.run) from the AMD website and I have not been able to get KWin to enable compositing.
I have a clean new installation of openSUSE 11.4, but I can't enable the desktop effects in it. My video is nVidia GTS250 and I haven't any issues with enabling desktop effects in the past.
suse 11.4 tumbleweed, kde 4.6.5, on laptop dell latitude E6510, with intel i7, 4Mb ram, NVIDIA 3100 Yesterday all effects was working well, no update and no changes, and today I dont know why but plasma crashed at startup, after a couple of try I login on gnome and renamed /home/.kde4 folder, now kde starts but when I try to enable some effects, cube, wabbling windows and others, kwin message appear sayng that effects cannot be enabled.
Accidentally I pressed alt-shift-f11 (instead of f12) and kde notified me that I switched the window manager layout to spiral: now my panel is not transparent anymore (obviously, with effects enabled). I have a standard desktop install of opensuse 11.4, with the kde themes I found out of the box. How can I restore the previous situation? If I press alt-shift-f11 nothing changes, except enabling or disablin the tiling (was it activated by default?).
Through some recent update, which one I am not sure, my system no longer responds to removable media such as flash drives and insertions of DVD/CD disks. Whereas before, for instance, if I inserted a USB flash drive, the "Device Notifier" would pop up, tell me that a new device had been detected, and ask me what I wanted to do with it, now nothing. "My Computer" (sysinfo:/)does not update either. The kernel knows the device is there, since I can see it when I do "lsusb". OpenSuSE x86_64 11.2.
I'm running 11.2 KDE 4.3.5, recently every time I've tried to use the Updater Applet I get this error after choosing to install an update: PackageKit Error internal-error: Installation aborted by user. Then I run YaST to try to manually install the update and get the following error:
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: package kwin-4.3.5-0.2.1.i586 is not installed. Really unsure how to fix this but it's only blocking updates/patches, I can download new programs fine.
opensuse v11.3 I enabled a NFS server on a host, set up a couple of exports, opened the ports in the firewall. When I open the NFS Client on another host and select "Choose", there is popup that states "Scanning for hosts on this LAN...". Then it returns an error "No NFS server found on your network. ..." That's funny because I had previously mounted the two exported directories already by entering the server name manually. How do I get the NFS server to respond to an automated search?
Somehow zypper is running at 100% cpu and won't die with command line kill, the system monitor kill, terminate or anything. I set it's priority to the lowest it will go, tried to stop it then kill it, nothing works as it simply is not responding to anything and it has been running now for 47 hours.
Is there a way to simply dump a process out of memory without requiring it to respond to a signal? because signals are doing nothing.
I've downloaded VideoLan (VLC) via Yast but the icon was placed in the audio folder. How do I move it to the video player folder? Also, where are additional icons stored? I run SuSE 11.2 (boxed version) with KDE.
I have a machine running Fedora 14 and a bunch of movies stored on it as '.iso' images. It is connected to my home theater. I used to use VLC to play these movies and it worked great for a long time. About 4 months ago, about an hour or hour-and-a-half into a movie, the audio suddenly "disappears" and the machine goes CRAZY with almost 100% of the CPU spent writing to the SWAP. At first I thought the machine was locked, but it isn't; it's so doggone busy writing swap. I am unable to get enough cycles to terminate anything. I found the swap activity through System Monitor - it was ABRUPT. Sound stopped, machine became preoccupied with swap.
I have removed/reinstalled VLC, the machine has undergone a couple kernel updates, and I have removed/reinstalled a number of things associated with audio (CD ripper, mpeg stuff, etc.) yet the problem persists. I don't know what happened or when (update-wise). Any body got any ideas? While a solution would be great, I'd also be happy with a couple decent suggestions on what to look for.
done so the script waits in the loop for the subshell to finish then does processing and starts over. If I kill the script the subshell is not killed. So I can trap the TERM event and do some cleaning but I need to know the subshell process id.
I'm using busybox so ps does not accept any parameters I cannot source subshell so it can access its parent environment
I have an issue with my web server. We are running RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0 with Apache 2.0 and Tomcat 5.5. The situation has arisen that the httpd sessions never terminate. New connections continue and continue to be created and never die. I have restarted the apache services to reset the connection and have even rebooted the server, however, to no avail. Yes, that does the trick of getting the web sites operational, however, this is not a solution.
I have searched and searched here, www.google.com/linux to no avail. I have looked through the apache.org bug tracker and can't find anything like what I am experiencing. This happened 6 months ago and I got lucky and it stopped, however, the situation has resurfaced. I have reviewed the logs and found nothing that provides any insight.
During the business day, the number of httpd connections continue to grow and I decided to let it see how high it would get before the web sites would crash. That magical number is 203. Now that it is later in the evening and about 2 hours since I restarted the httpd services, I now only have 59 connections. However, I'm fairly certain based upon the traffic on these 2 websites, that in the evening, there aren't many connections after 2000 hours.
I followed this tutorial trying to set up proftpd. I'm using Slackware 13.1, but I had assumed most of the tutorial was all relevant still.Using the default proftpd.conf file, I was able to do anonymous login, but I was hoping to use the conf file in the tutorial to only allow certain users, so it currently looks like this:Quote:
# To really apply changes reload proftpd after modifications. AllowOverwrite on AuthAliasOnly off
i have two scripts called: type & selecttype. In type i have only the name of the products ex.: product1 & product2. Now, i am going to ADD product3 which includes productA, productB, productC, productD, productE, productF. so my new type script (menu) looks as below:
1) product1 2) product2 3) product3
and my current selectype looks as below ( which is set only for product1 & product2)my question is how can include the new product3 with all other multiple selections (productA, productB, productC, productD, productE, productF) into my current selectype as below:
I've tried this with 4.0r3 and 4.0r7 CDs, using two different networks to access repositories, and the same result each time: install goes fine until the "OK" for the "Desktop/Web Server/Mail Server/etc." selections, it brings up the "Select and install software" page and then it freezes, showing "5%" and "Please wait..." under the progress bar.
If I hadn't built 20+ servers this way I'd think it was me, but it's not... I think. What's going on?
(No, we're not upgrading to 5.0. Reference above mention of lots o' servers! )
I'm using tigthvnc server on linux machine. Often my clients are closing their vncviewrs from close button ('X'), and not exiting gracefully their sessions from OS. How can I terminate the server when they do that?
I have a script to establish a reverse tunnel with other machine,My problem is to stop the tunnel. If I just kill the PID at sshtunnel.pids, ssh does not release the ports at the server side, so any new connection will fail for several minutes.Is there any way to signal SSH to exit gracefully?
I have a new UEC (Ubuntu 9.10) server up and running. I'm running a self contained solution so the cluster and node are on the same machine. I know this isn't ideal but I only have one server. I followed https:[url]... and https:[url].... When I try to run a VM (Ubuntu 9.10 amd64) image it will go from pending to shut-down to terminated. I know others have had this problem but I haven't see any solutions. I'm hoping there might be one out there that I've missed. I'm running on an AMD 64-bit quad core with 8GB DDR3 RAM.I am not seeing any errors in the logs.
I'm trying to install wine1.3 but I don't want the (recommended) package ttf-mscorefonts-installer.In previous releases, I can run this to 'hold' the package and prevent it's installation:
Code: echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections.However, this command doesn't prevent ttf-mscorefonts-installer from being installed along with wine1.3 in maverick.[code]....
it's just that dpkg isn't picking it up.What is going on here, and how can I place a package on permanent hold?
Note: I ended up installing wine1.3 by running:
Code: sudo aptitude install wine1.3 ttf-mscorefonts-installer= but I don't believe that the package is actually on permanent hold.
After making a new install of Maverick, it lets me login but then drops me on a desktop that is empty apart from the menu and taskbar. That's not a problem in itself, but nothing responds when I click it. The mouse pointer moves, but I can't click anything. Before logging in, I can click stuff on the login screen, so the mouse as such works.
