[opensuse] compiz: Where to specify custom command line for fusion-icon ?
listmates, I use fusion-icon to start compiz. With the new 8.452 ATI driver the default command line used by fusion-icon to start compiz no longer works. How can I tell fusion-icon to execute: LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz \ --ignore-desktop-hints \ --replace \ --indirect-rendering \ --no-libgl-fallback \ --sm-disable \ ccp & to start compiz? I have looked at usr/bin/fusion-icon, but that just points to a mess of python scripts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. P.S. After struggling with the initial install of the 8.452 driver, I like what I see!

Depending on the command line options the new entry will be added to the system files or LDAP database. The group name must begin with an alphabetic character and the rest of the string should be from the POSIX portable character class ([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_-.]*). OPTIONS -g, --gid gid Force the new group ID to be the given number. This value must be positive and unique. The default is to use the first free ID after the greatest used one. The range from which the group ID is choosen can be specified in /etc/login.defs. -o, --non-unique Allow duplicate (non-unique) group IDs. -p, --password password Encrypted password as returned by crypt(3) for the new account. The default is to disable the account. -r, --system Create a system group. A system group is an entry with an GID between SYSTEM_GID_MIN and SYS- TEM_GID_MAX as defined in /etc/login.defs, if no GID is specified. --service service Add the group to a special directory. The default is files, but ldap is also valid. -D, --binddn binddn Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory. The user will be prompted for a password for simple authentication. -P, --path path The group file is located below the specified directory path. groupadd will use this files, not /etc/group. --help Print a list of valid options with a short description. --usage Print a short list of valid options. -v, --version Print the version number and exit.

yast would automatically choose and properly setup under sax2.

WRONGO! The "Acer 2216W" monitor is nowhere to be found in this install.
WTF? These two installs are all from the same .iso? How could that be?
Is there or was there some monitor database update that should have
been utilized in this install that wasn't? If so, where do I get it? Has
anyone else seen such random nonsense on the installs they are doing?
It is a pain to have to calculate modelines and manually set monitor
width heights and H and W freq. ranges when they were just there in the
last install and they were there on this very same box for the 10.0 install.
Grumbling, but concerned. Can you help!

Out of curiosity, did you try copying the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file from
the working machine to the non-working one and use that to start your
display? Of course, as all good computing practices go, backup the
original xorg.conf file before doing the copy.
Oh, that was done long ago, I can build my own xorg.conf file without
any problems. The Point and the Problem was the inconsistency of the
monitor database that I was stuck using on this last install and where
to get the updated one. That was the issue and the question.

hi,

Though, I'm a little bit concern about using 10.2 or
10.3 for "production" server? I would like to hear
your opinion.
10.2 would be OK. I had no problems with it. 10.3 is a bit more finicky
at this point. I have a couple of sever bugs open that affect the
kernel, imap, etc. I have a production server on 10.3 now, but it is in
my office and I maintain it, so if it dies, I'm usually there to fix it.
If I was to rebuild it at this point, I would put 10.2 back on it.
10.3 should settle down over the next few months.

[opensuse] Yast Monitor Database not Updated for Recent 10.3 Install - No Acer 2216W
Mates,
This is one of the things that is driving my crazy. I have 2 boxes that
have identical Acer 2216W displays. Both had previously run SuSE 10.0
and the Yast Monitor database had the exact display "Acer 2216W" that
yast would automatically choose and properly setup under sax2.
First machine updated December time frame, yast had and properly
selected the "Acer 2216W" for the 10.3 install. This Monday I had to
update the other machine and Yast now selected the Vesa --> 1280x1024
monitor. I thought, "no problem, I'll just select the right one."
WRONGO! The "Acer 2216W" monitor is nowhere to be found in this install.
WTF? These two installs are all from the same .iso? How could that be?
Is there or was there some monitor database update that should have
been utilized in this install that wasn't? If so, where do I get it? Has
anyone else seen such random nonsense on the installs they are doing?
It is a pain to have to calculate modelines and manually set monitor

Anyone know why the SUSE 10.3 install process might feel it necessary to create a logical order "opposite" the physical order (and thus confuse itself)? Clearly this isn't a desirable outcome...sigh... Linda Linda, That is exactly one of the problems I am running into trying to get grub to boot from a usb drive. It seems that grub or openSuSE will remap the drives based upon the drive it boots from. In my case I have a spare laptop drive that I am hooking up with a usb to ide adapter. Each drive is roughly the same with dual boot XP and 10.3. After booting from the drive installed in the laptop, connecting the usb cable and attaching the second drive, the laptop drive is sda and the usb drive is sbb. Attempting to boot from the usb drive the OS then considers the laptop drive sda and the installed drive sdb. I haven't been successful booting XP from the usb drive, but the opensuse howto says you have to remap to get around the problem by including in the grub entry: map hd(0) hd(1) map hd(1) hd(0) Basicially it is a way to a trick grub into booting the right partition. There is some spotty information on the drive remapping behavior on the openSuSE site for usb installs. I'm not sure this is the exact same problem, but the issue of drive swapping from a->b and b->a is the same. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[opensuse] nVidia 8600GT Compiz Problems/Composite Enabled Slow Frame Rates
Listmates, I have a fresh openSuSE 10.3 install with all updates installed, the video card is a MSI nVidia 8600GT (pci-e 16). After following the openSuSE nVidia install and the Compiz Fusion install (and after log outs and reboots) compiz refused to start. As shown on the openSuSE Compiz page he file .config/compiz/compiz-manager was created with: COMPIZ_OPTIONS="--no-libgl-fallback --ignore-desktop-hints --replace" LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 The following xorg.conf config commands specified on the suse nvidia page were executed as root: nvidia-xconfig --composite nvidia-xconfig --render-accel nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24 glxgears frame rates dropped like a rock to 2100 FPS. (They were 10317 FPS with the same box and openSuSE 10.0) Trying to start compiz with the following command line failed and gave these errors: 17:04 providence~> compiz --no-libgl-fallback --ignore-desktop-hints --replace ccp & [1] 8625 17:05 providence~> A handler is already registered for the path starting with path[0] = "org" A handler is already registered for the path starting with path[0] = "org" A handler is already registered for the path starting with path[0] = "org" compiz (core) - Warn: No GLXFBConfig for depth 32 A new xorg.conf was generated from runlevel three with sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia. The new xorg was fast as a rocket ship, glxgears frame rates were back to 10317 FPS. The frame rate was great without composite enabled. (i.e. no: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection Re-enabling composite caused the frame rates to drop back to 2100 FPS and still no compiz. Finally I pulled an old command line of: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints --indirect-rendering --no-libgl-fallback ccp & Compiz started! But why all the problems on a relatively new box with a new 8600GT? What can I do, or configure to help compiz start without having to manually enter the above command line? Also, in the konsole where I started compiz, errors to stdout started appearing: A handler is already registered for the path starting with path[0] = "org" A handler is already registered for the path starting with path[0] = "org" A handler is already registered for the path starting with path[0] = "org" Attempted to unregister path (path[0] = org path[1] = freedesktop) which isn't registered Attempted to unregister path (path[0] = org path[1] = freedesktop) which isn't registered Attempted to unregister path (path[0] = org path[1] = freedesktop) which isn't registered A handler is already registered for the path starting with path[0] = "org" A handler is already registered for the path starting with path[0] = "org" Attempted to unregister path (path[0] = org path[1] = freedesktop) which isn't registered Attempted to unregister path (path[0] = org path[1] = freedesktop) which isn't registered Attempted to unregister path (path[0] = org path[1] = freedesktop) which isn't registered A handler is already registered for the path starting with path[0] = "org" A handler is already registered for the path starting with path[0] = "org" A handler is already registered for the path starting with path[0] = "org" A handler is already registered for the path starting with path[0] = "org" compiz (core) - Error: no 'text' plugin with ABI version '20070902' loaded compiz (shift) - Warn: No compatible text plugin loaded.

I have several drives for my laptop and murphy's law dictates that what you need is always on the other drive (theme, notes, etc.) I connected the usb cable to my spare 2.5 inch drive, changed the bios to boot from (1) removable devices (2) hard disk (3) cd/dvd drive (4) network. (Laptop is a Toshiba P35-S629) I turned the computer on, the usb drive started right away and it looked like the system was booting from the usb drive. However, the system booted from the installed hard drive instead. The usb drive was mounted automatically as: media/disk /dev/sdb7 spare 10.3 /home media/disk-1/dev/sdb6 spare 10.3 / media/xpdrive /dev/sdb1 spare 10.3 XP partition Is there a grub boot parameter like (boot=/dev/sdb6) that will tell grub to boot from the usb drive? The reason being is that I would like to boot the install to update it. Any help will be appreciated and thank you whoever it was that recommended the usb to ide solution! -- David C.

Also, I see recipes that use just ':0' and others that use ':0:', is
there a difference? Is one more correct?

Thierry de Coulon wrote: Hello, Since I installed 10.3, I notice an awfull lot of disc activities during the, say, five minutes following boot. I've suspected beagle,but if I run top I see that the culprit seems to be "zypper". I can't figure out what it's doing, but it's eating up to 97% of my CPU time at moments. I've done some search, but I am not sure if I could reduce zypper's activity, or simply remove it? Seems to be used by Yast2 for package management, but can Yast2 do without? Thierry (Re: post from Yesterday) Modifying this behavior is simple. Just right-click opensuseupdater in the sys tray, choose quit and then click "do not start on login" (or something similar). This will disable online update from running every time you login and stop the automaitc refresh of all repositories. This is no big deal, I run that way. Just remember you must manually do the yast->online update once in a while. Depending on whether you use Beagle search index, you will also want to either (1) disable Beagle in control center, or (2) remove it completely with "rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep beagle) kerry" from the command line as root. After making those two modifications, you will not experience any more slowdown during the first 5-10 minutes after login. Online update and beagle are the problems. For online update the solution is to configure yast->software->configure online update. You can set online update to run weekly/monthly, etc. That way you can still stay current on updates without it running on every login. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

TIA Dave Dave, Do you have a BIOS setting that allows you to set your second hard drive a "bootable" as well. I know you said you checked the BIOS, but it would be worth another look to see if that setting is present. I have a Gigabyte board that requires the drives to be specifically set as bootable to be able to boot from those drives. I battled on with this issue over the weekend (desperately need sleep), without any real progress. Before actually "throwing in the towel", I went back over all the advice you folks have generously tried to help me with. Believing that I had done a 100% check on the BIOS settings, I must have overlooked this little gem. Today I rechecked the BIOS and located the (almost hidden) option to switch the hdd boot priority, moved the second drive to the top of the list. On reboot I was greeted with that, not very attractive, but so very welcome GRUB menu. A big THANK YOU David. I should have listened to you in the first place. Now, the really hard part will be to get my colleague to give openSUSE a fair trial. Hum! What should I use, a baseball bat, or.. ;) Regards Dave Woohoo, I finally guessed right! For you colleague, with all the perseverance and dedication you showed in sticking with the install, you should explain that you would like to see the same in return on their fair trial of 10.3. We all know, but need to find a way to convey, that they will not find a more elegant or capable OS -- period. Good for you Dave, now let's see if your colleague will do their part.

Maura,
You can generally rely on the online updates not breaking things. I
haven't followed the entire thread, but from the list, it seems that
64bit systems are more prone to an update glitch than the 32bit systems.
I regularly (every few days) make sure I am completely updated with
online update or zypper up and I haven't experienced any serious
problems on my Toshiba laptop. I have had ATI driver problems after
updates, but nothing that prevented me from using the display. The
problem were with disappearing 3D acceleration, ATI driver lockups, etc.
I could always use the display, but compiz, etc. would become unusable.
Generally every week or so I will use software management to "update
all packages if newer version is available." These can be significant
package updates involving 400 - 800 Meg of updates. With the exception
of xorg 7.3, I haven't had any problems with these updates either.
I second the good advise about waiting several days after an update is
released before installing it if it is on a critical computer. You can
always check the list and if there is an update problem, most likely it
will be found within a day.
What graphics card do you have? ATI, nVidia? Also, do you have an
update source for your graphics card added as a repository? These can
be problematic, especially if you have an ATI card.
Good luck

Dave,
I guess the only other way I can help is to post a working grub config
from one of my dual boot machines hand hope it helps. Here goes:
The drives I have are sda (windows) sdb and sdc (linux raid) with md0,
md1 and md2 as follows:
ripper:/home/david # df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1 20641788 6299548 13293604 33% /

/dev/sda6 17928508 66556 17861952 1% /windows/D
Just substitute /sdb for /md above and below for your setup (your
partition numbers may vary) My swap is /dev/sda5
The device.map is:
ripper:/boot # cat grub/device.map
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd2) /dev/sdc
(hd1) /dev/sdb
What does yours show for (hd1)? I ask because in your first menu.lst
definition for 10.3 you have root (hd1,5) and then
root=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST3250824A_5ND3YLCZ-part6. This may be
right, but it is worth a double check. You may want to try setting this
to /dev/sdb# where # is what is shown as / in response to df.
the working menu.lst I have is:

Marcin, what are your thoughts? The beauty of screen is that you can open a session in a konsole window on your desktop at work, and then from home ssh to your work PC, and detatch the screen session from your work desktop and have it appear on your home konsole window. Then the next morning, you can go to a client's office and move the screen view to the konsole window on your laptop. All this without interrupting in any way the shell, or vi session, or mysql session, or whatever you had running when you created the screen session at the office. You can have multiple screen sessions open on a single konsole window, one visible at a time. You can even open a screen session on a virtual console of a machine not running X at all, and then view that session inside a KDE konsole from some arbitrary remote system (provided you can get in, say with ssh). This just scratches the surface, and I know there's lots about screen I've never even tried or know exists. Jim Cunning Jim, That is just the practical insight I needed.

On the non-root machine, you may have to give the specific user access to files needed by adding them to a few groups in /etc/group like wwwrun, mail, etc. and you may need to set the group ownership on the needed files and directories, but this is far better that gift wrapping a root exploit to all the script kiddies that will try for ever to root your box over ssh.

The config files haven't changed that much since 9.3, there are just a few extra parameters there.

should answer your question. I have a bug open. If you are

kernel will begin to die. This happens slowly and the mail response
gets slower, and slower.
Also check for stale mailbox locks in the users Mail dirs.

Next, under control center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Global Shortcuts -> Miscellaneous, the following are defined, but don't seem to work: Window Screenshot alt+print Desktop Screenshot ctrl+print Pressing alt+print or ctrl+print does not bring up any screenshot capture that I can tell. What I want to happen is to have alt+print call "ksnapshot --current &". I like the current brining up ksnapshot, even though I haven't a clue where this binding is made. If anyone could shed some light on where the binding is made, why the alt+print and ctrl+print don't work, and how to make alt+print bring up "ksnapshot --current &". Thanks. -- David C.

[opensuse] lost kde window decorations - kids..
Listmates, My kids have a dell desktop with 10.3. Somehow, they have lost all window decoration in kde. Compiz is _NOT_ installed. The window decorations are lost for all 4 login IDs. I have no clue what they did. What to check? "kwin --replace &" returns the window decorations to their proper place. How can I restore the basic kde config? KDE is the only desktop loaded (no xfce, etc..). Thanks for helping! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

For usage from within KDE, for example konqueror, edit the properties for the Kate application. You can read more in the online help (help:/kate) and at Kates website at www.kate-editor.org Added by me - In kde, just open menu editor, select kate and add --use to the command line after "kate %U".

It came with ME. For years it ran without a hiccup, even with a laserjet 4 attached to it that was shared throughout the office. The funny thing was, if you kept the os squeeky clean, so did 3.1, 95OSR2, 98 and ME.

[opensuse] BUG - in spamassassin sa-learn causing Kernel Errors
