  1. Tumbleweed, kernels and UEFI

    by , 05-May-2013 at 09:44
    I am running opensuse Tumbleweed on my UEFI box. Yesterday, there was a kernel update. After the update, the box had several kernels:
    • 3.7.10-1.1-1 ## from installing 12.3
    • 3.8.8-3.1 ## from a Tumbleweed update
    • 3.8.9-5.1 ## also a TW update
    • 3.9.0-6.1 ## from the latest TW update


    I'm not sure why there are so many kernels. I had thought that there would be only two. But, I have the disk space, so no problem.

  2. PulseAudio and Selecting the Proper Sound Card Configuration

    by , 04-May-2013 at 20:12 (James' openSUSE Bash Scripting (and other things) Blog - Your Comments are Welcome!)


    Today, a lot of computers have more than one sound generating device. However, as far as hearing sound is concerned, its is very likely you have only one set of speakers or sound cable connected up to a single output on your PC. PulseAudio (freedesktop.org - Software/PulseAudio/About) has been our default sound server in openSUSE for some time now. So one issue I run into on every openSUSE install is the need to disable ...

    SCREENSHOTS:



    SysdCmd is a bash script intended to be used in openSUSE and tested with openSUSE version 12.3. I have included all of the features I feel openSUSE users will likely want in a bash script intended to help you learn how to use and work with systemd. SysdCmd will install the following standard openSUSE packages: systemd-ui, systemd-analyze and graphviz all of which will require root user access. The ...

  4. Linux Terminal and Bash Script Command Redirection of your Text Display Explained

    by , 20-Apr-2013 at 13:44 (James' openSUSE Bash Scripting (and other things) Blog - Your Comments are Welcome!)
    In openSUSE, we often have an opportunity to use terminal commands for various purposes including their usage within bash scripts. Please remember that in most cases, terminal commands are always run using lower case file names. When redirection to those file names is used in a bash script, we may have a desire to control how the resulting command text is displayed. When terminal commands are executed, they most often use a standard text output, which is called STDOUT and they can also display ...
  5. S.A.K.S.I. - SUSE Automated KDE Sysinfo Installer - Version 1.0.0 for openSUSE 12.3

    If you have installed the latest openSUSE version 12.3 and you use the KDE Desktop, you may have noticed that the "My Computer" icon is missing which produced the display shown above and which has been replaced with the more informative KinfoCenter, this is by design because the Kio Sysinfo application has been Depreciated and is no longer actively being updated. However, for now, it is still possible to install ...
