openSUSE Conference: Day 2, The Conference Begins

Awesome! The sun goes up in Nuremberg... The Greek team woke up early in the morning in order to get ready for the first day of the conference... We had a good breakfast and we started heading for the Zentrifuge in order to meet the other guyz and attend the Conference. On our road to the openSUSE Conference we met the Chinese community and we both head to the conference together.

When we arrived people were awesome. Everyone was there... The day's program was printed so we took a copy in order to see and decide which awesome presentations we will attend!



We all attended the presentation of Mr. ZYSK, GregoryIntroduction to Cross-Cultural Communication, Conflict and Collaboration”. After presenting his model of cross-cultural communication model and his ambitions, he made an awesome test... He made everyone in the room pick a mate that he hadn't worked with him at all or get to know and after he gave us two papers of different scenarios he made us conflict and find a common solution to solve the scenario!




It was a difficult choice on decide which presentation we will attend and everyone made his own choice. There were community based presentations, and many technical presentations. Everything went as programmed and after a day full of knowledge it came about 18:00 when we started a “Barbeque Party” !!! Kostas, wore his firefighter uniform in order to be ready to protect us from the flames while me and Stathis were helping baking the sausages. After that, a party started with rock music beers and geekos talking, laughing and having fun till late at night!

openSUSE Conference: First Day

In Friday morning, at 4:50 Kostas “Warlordfff” Koudaras , George “Etern4L” Bratsos, Eustathios “efagra” Agrapidis and Stella “differentreality” Rouzi met in Thessaloniki’s airport. We were about to travel to Nuremberg, Germany to go at the openSUSE Conference at Zentrifuge.


After we met up at the airport we checked in and we entered the airplane. It is the first journey of the Greek community to a Conference like that. After two and a half hours we arrived at Zurich airport where we stayed for two hours waiting for the next flight to Nuremberg. The flight between Zurich and Nuremberg lasted half an hour an finally after 4 hour traveling we arrived at Nuremberg.


At Nuremberg, we went to the hotel we left our luggage and we went straight to Zentrifuge in order to meet the other geekos and help organizing and in general help at the openSUSE Conference. When we arrived we found people already working there... Bruno who was at Fosscomm was setting up the sound over the halls, other were creating pins with the names of the participants, other were preparing some special bags which include a poster, stickers, a magazine and many other things and other were setting up the presentation laptops. Stella and I helped with the bags, Kostas and Stathis helped with the pins were they excel,and by folding fliers. After that, Jos the community manager decided that we must decorate the halls so George and Stella went with him at IKEA and bought some pretty things for the halls.


After a long and difficult day at 19:00 we stopped working and started drinking beers :) We had a small “Pizza Party” !!! Fifteen pizzas arrived at Zentrifuge for the geekos there! Old Toad the openSUSE beer helped geekos retrieve their strength for the next day! We ate, talked about several things laughed a lot and drunk many beers!


After the long day, we took the metro and returned to our hotel in order to rest, take a bath and prepare our selves for the next awesome day.


You can find photos from the openSUSE Conference at our Facebook Group and at Kostas Koudaras Picasa. We upload photos all day long !

在openSUSE11.4上使用google music上傳工具


最近google music相當的熱門,



今天要來說的是如何在openSUSE11.4上面讓google music的google-musicmanager
可以沒有幫你上傳音樂到你的音樂庫:



 Step1.
下載google-musicmanager:
在個人頁面裡面右上角有一個[Add music] ,然後選擇[Download Music Manager]


然後點選裡面適合版本的openSUSE rpm :



--
安裝上去之後會可能會發現
1.開不起來 (Gnome-LiveCD版本安裝的會遇到)

user@linux-xxx:~/Desktopp:~> google-musicmanager

/usr/bin/google-musicmanager: error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

解決方法是:
 安裝 "libqt4-x11" 這個package就可以解決.


2.沒辦法Login in
明明帳號密碼都是正確的,網路也是通暢的,卻還是會秀出:


1.0.16.6403 版似乎已經修正這個問題,不過如果是使用1.0.13.9715版本的就會有這樣的問題,
更新到最新的google-musicmanager即可解決
--
然後這樣就可以開心的上傳檔案了...


目前還是邀請制的,一般帳號沒有Google music 來說都只看得到:


網路上已經有很多人寫說要如何申請/取得帳號,所以就不贅述,
另外,可以在這個google music的Blog: http://magnifier.blogspot.com/


找到更多不錯的 free music

Enjoy it~

Back from the Desktop Summit 2011 in Berlin

Perhaps I am the last one writing about the wonderful Desktop Summit in Berlin some days ago. Nevertheless I want to summarize my personal highlights.

The Desktop Summit was awesome. I had the pleasure to meet people (old and new friends from all over the world), discuss complicated stuff face-to-face and of cause: have a lot of fun together.

In a combined cross desktop marketing BoF we discussed some ideas how we (GNOME and KDE) could join forces to get bigger media coverage (e.g. TV, radio or big newspapers). One intresting first step is by paying attention on our messages. It occured that the message was: "... is THE Linux Desktop Environment" or "A is better than B".

From a commercial marketing perspective this is very common. Just a little bit ignoring the reality and making a strong statement (with the hope the unknowing reader is going to believe it) is usual. On the other hand this takes us (down) to the same level of trust many of the big companies have today. Exacletly this is one of the big differences we want to make. We are NOT like these big companies, playing with "the truth" to manipulate people. So we agreed to use phrases like "... is ONE of the leading / bigest / ... Desktop Environments for Linux" etc. There is GNOME, there is the KDE Plasma Workspace etc. and if we look at the whole market we see, that the big competition is not the other community.

Further I had some good discussions with different people about the improvement of the business side of KDE. Recent (economic) developments showed us the danger of having only a few, but big companies in our environment. The big ones are very nice, however, we gain stability by having many small businesses as well in our ecosystem. You might like business or not. But who would deny some money for hacking on his/her favorite open source project?

I recognized with big pleasure how powerful, creative and successful small/medium companies could be when they cooperate. Plasma Active is here one excellent example. In my view we need more such cooperation. There were some ideas how we, the community could build a better context for those developments.

Besides the talks and BoFs there were many techical and social activities together.


 Hacking on computers ...

 ... and hacking on the piano ...

 ... or having lunch together.

 Jos did again his collaborative open source cooking.

There were really many great events. One of my personal favorite was the football match (thanks to openSUSE/SUSE for sponsoring).

Like last year I came back with a huge motivation and many plans how I could help to bring KDE further. As I know big plans and great ideas do not matter in our world, it is the result, the things you have actually done. My daylife hit me (not really soft) when I came back and I did a poor job for KDE so far. Other times will come in a few months.

在 openSUSE11.4 上使用 google-chrome

在openSUSE11.4沒有預設google chrome browser.
所以我們可以自己去google下載

 安裝完之後要啟動會發現沒有動作

這是時候用命令列來看:

user@linux-xxx:~/Desktopp:~> google-chrome
/usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory



會發現chrome告訴你缺了 libpng12.so.0 這個東西
所以我們用zypper來找尋並且安裝

尋找:
user@linux-xxx:~/Desktopp:~>zypper se libpng*
正在載入套件庫資料...
讀取已安裝的套件...



安裝:

linux-d93p:~ # zypper in libpng12-0

安裝之後就可以使用google-chrome了!

Enjoy it~

Adding Several Repositories with a Single Installation URL

This is a simple but quite powerful feature of installation. By using a modified installation repository you can add several other repositories automatically (or let user decide which repositories to add). The only thing you need to do is to create an add_on_products.xml file describing all the additional repositories and add it either to root of the installation repository or root of the installation system.

Installation repository can be easily modified just by adding the file there, installation system (inst-sys) can be easily extended by Linuxrc DriverUpdate.

Let's see the add_on_products.xml file format:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<add_on_products xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns"
xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns">
<product_items config:type="list">
<product_item>
<!-- Mandatory -->
<url>http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/ruby/openSUSE_11.4/</url>
<!-- Mandatory, use "/" if you don't know -->
<path>/</path>
<!-- Optional, default => empty list -->
<install_products config:type="list">
<product>Product-ID-From-Repository</product>
</install_products>
<!-- Optional, default => do not ask -->
<ask_user config:type="boolean">true</ask_user>
<!-- Optional, recommended if ask_user == true -->
<name>Add-on Name to Display</name>
<!-- Optional, default => selected -->
<selected config:type="boolean">true</selected>
<!-- Optional, default => none, set by packager -->
<priority config:type="integer">20</priority>
</product_item>
<product_item>
...
</product_item>
</product_items>
</add_on_products>

Items Description:
  • url - Definitely mandatory ;) Defines the URL of additional repository to add.
  • path - Mandatory by design, defines additional relative path to a product at URL. Use "/" if you don't know.
  • install_products / product - Optionally defines which products should be selected for installation from that URL.
  • ask_user - Should be user asked whether to add this repository? Default is false and repository is just automatically added.
  • name - Name of the repository used in dialog while asking user whether to add that repository.
  • selected - Defines the default status of repository while asking user...
  • priority - Optional item defining the priority of repository to add (an integer value between 0 - the highest priority; and 200 - the lowest priority), since yast2-packager-2.21.12
Although this feature works only during [auto]installation, I believe YaST could be enhanced to provide the same functionality while managing repositories on a running system too if needed.
