I have found a possible reason: the arrival of Rosa Fresh Revision 9. As soon as I discovered this, I downloaded it. I had a choice: KDE4 or Plasma. I chose Plasma. Two days later I erased it and installed the KDE4 session. I am at home in KDE4 and need a period of learning to become acquainted with...

Having installed Rosalinux Fresh R8.1 on my new laptop I notice that the versions off Libreoffice, Thunderbird, and the Gnome-keyring are not the latest but old versions. The version of Plasma seems to be a mixture of 4 and 5. Why have the developers made this choice? I am really curious. I prefer t...

Thank you, Keleg, for your advice. I followed it and the starting job disappeared. Another one however went on. Via the log files I discovered that the mounting of the NFS share did not succeed. The time-out took 1 minute 55 seconds. So I changed the "auto" in fstab to "noauto". After this I was rid...

I made a NFS link to my main computer on this laptop via a line in fstab. This works fine. But now the boot process is very slow, because a start job is running for almost two minutes trying to start samba nmb daemon. This fails, because there is no Windows computer anywhere on the LAN. If I try to ...

Thank you, rich.
Today I discovered that o R7 installation had been updated to R8. So one does not need to do anything, if R7 is used.

Greetings,
Erik Jan.

I am an enthusiastic user of Rosa Linux R7 and have installed it a few days ago on several computers of friends of mine. Now version 8 has appeared. My question is: will my installation of version 7 be automatically updated to version 8, or do I have to reinstall the computers to get version 8? Than...

Dear members of the Rosa Forum, I notice that many threads are opened that get no answers. Does this mean that this beautiful distribution is being abandoned? Or is it only the international version that is left behind? I should like to know this, because I installed Rosa Fresh on several friends' c...

ejvwaasdijk

Thank you, Keleg, for your workaround.

On one computer I have installed Mageia 5; on the others we will use your suggestion.

Greetings,

Erik.

Dear Keleg, I hope this image will be clearer than my words. I am Dutch and English is my second language; moreover the names in xsane are in Dutch and I do not know the exact equivalents in English. https://www.dropbox.com/s/r3i437986gtb60z/schermafdruk1.png?dl=0 With the icon beside the name field...

Yesterday I removed a Rosa installation and replaced it with Mageia 5RC. Now xsane 0.999 works as expected and I can choose a directory by browsing to one and typing the name of the scan that is to be saved there. Definitely this bug is part of Rosa, not a problem of the newest version. I hope someo...

ejvwaasdijk

I can add now that in Rosa Marathon XSANE works as expected. In Rosa Fresh R5 I must first open the desired directory with dolphin, then copy the directory with control-c, go back to the XSANE window, empty the fieldname field and then paste the name with the mouse wheel. Control-v does not work. Ha...

ejvwaasdijk

Supposing that some KDE-file is missing I installed XFCE. Using XFCE I have the same problem. Unless Rosa's XFCE installation is somehow dependent on the KDE installation, there must be some problem with XSANE that does not occur with Mageia or Mate. I hope someone knows what is wrong. Greetings fro...

Today I found a bug in Rosa Fresh 5 using the program xsane. When I wanted to put a scanned image in one of my directories, I chose "save scan" and clicked on "browse" in order to choose directory and filename. Having done this, I clicked "open", but the filename and chosen directory did not appear ...

Thank you, Pulfer and Keleg for your reactions. I can understand that you want your ISO as small as possible, but couldn't you separate the fontwork files from the Openclipart? A few years ago I had a look at the Openclipart and removed it from my computer. But I am interested in a working fontwork ...

These days I nstalled Rosa Fresh R5 32-bits on thre computers and on one 64-bits computer. In all of them Libreoffice was not installed completely. Mail merge did not work as before. It appeared that that the database part was not installed. After complete installation mail merge worked as expected....

In order to install Rosa Fresh 2012 R2 on a computer I downloaded the iso and decided to dump it on a USB Flash drive via the command dd. It worked beautifully and I installed successfully. Now I want to use the usb stick for other purposes, but I am unable to remove the files. I am the owner of the...

Dear Mr. Akdengi, I tried drakxservices via konsole and read the errors it caused. Most of them had to do with sysv and systemd. So now I understand your explanation that the draktools all need to be updated. I understand now too, why drakxservices does not work well. It is impossible for instance t...

Dear mr. Akdengi, without nfs-utils-clients it is impossible to have Rosa start up with an nfs server already connected on user level. I wasted a lot of time trying to make this work with the nfs-utils that the Rosa repository gives. It seems impossible to me. This is why I removed rosa's nfs-utils ...

ejvwaasdijk

Dear Akdengi, could you persuade the developers to restore nfs-utils-clients to the repository and the DVD? I also sorely miss the programs of the old Mandriva Control Centre that made sharing via nfs on a LAN simple, in the new combination of systemsettings and KDE-settings. Greetings and keep up t...

ejvwaasdijk

today I noticed that with the installation of Rosa Fresh I also installed another user: "mysql" with directory called "Desktop" that contains desktop-files owned by "polkituser". What is the purpose of this? Why is it installed. I did not have this user when I had Mandriva and Mageia. Greetings, Erik.

ejvwaasdijk

Today I wanted to share a directory on my Rosa production computer with another computer on my LAN. So I right-clicked on it and chose the tab "sharing". The only choice I got, was to share via samba with a windows computer. The other computer, however, is a linux one, that was connected before via ...

The problem was solved after uninstalling and reinstalling the dropbox service menu in dolphin. I do not know what went wrong, but now everything works fine!

Greertings,

Erik.

today I installed dropbox, kfilebox and the dropbox servicemenu in dolphin. When I go to my dropbox folder and use the service menu in dolphin, I get a strange error: could not find '$(kde4-config' . To me it seems that the "(" is superfluous in some script. But, of course, I do not know. Is there a...

Thank you, Akdengi, for your quick and exact reply. Yesterday I found the announcement on the Rosa site, but did not see the wiki and errate page.

I just read that a service pack for Rosa Marathon EE has arrived. Is there anything new in it that is not in the updates until now?

totday I installed Rosa Fresh on another computer and got the same problem with nouveau that I mentioned in the first letter of http://forum.rosalab.ru/en/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=1907 I id not remember how I then solved the problem, because I did so many things.

It took a lot of time, but at last I succeeded! :Yahoo!: After a lot of googling and reading I wrote a tiny shellscript: #!/bin/sh kdesu mount -t nfs 192.168.178.14:/home/erik /mnt/erik # in fstab I added: # # share with nfs server, main computer: # /192.168.178.14:/home/erik /mnt/erik nfs user,noat...

ejvwaasdijk

Dear Akdengi, the updated drakxtools arrived today on my computer. But there are still utilities that do not work: the hardware enumeration, the management of access to ROSA help programs and the management of the firewall. In fact nothing has changed. Thank you for trying to resolve the issue. Gree...

ejvwaasdijk

Thank you, Akdengi, for the advice.

What shall we use instead?

Why did Rosalab give us these programs that do not work instead of updating them?

Greetings,

Erik.

ejvwaasdijk

The problem is solved:

A reset of the modem reconstituted contact with the internet. The modem seemed to work, the ISP told us that it worked correctly. It did not.

Today I installed Rosa Fresh 2012. I could not change the compositing from xrender to opengl. So I tried to install the nvidia driver, but this failed miserably. After a lot of trial and error, especially error, I could not boot anymore. I did a clean new installation again. Now I removed nouveau dr...

Yes, that is the one!
Thank you very much.

Thank you, kda and Victor, for your speedy replies. The problem is, that I installed Marathon EE LTS, because the user will need a desktop that is stable and maintained for a long time. I shall not have the oportunity to frequently reinstall fresh versions. In the LTS version there is no icon as ind...

How do I remove recent documents (and and change other settings) from Rosa's "Simple Welcome"?

Greetings

ejvwaasdijk

thanks d_uragan, for your reaction. This solves the problem on my experimental computer. The next step is to get into Rosa after an installation of Windows that removes all bootloaders except its own. Yes, Vegatron, I hope you will restore Mandriva's system rescue, or give something else that is tes...

ejvwaasdijk

I tried this option, and all other options. It seems that a file called "stage1" or something like it does not exist. Supergrub disk does not write to the HDD; at least during my experiments it never did. I cannot understand why a perfectly working system rescue by Mandriva has been replaced by this...

Dear mr. ДроноваЮ, thank you for your speedy reply. After an upgrade of Ubuntu's kernel Ubuntu grabs the bootloading process. If Rosa is to be my main OS, and Ubuntu subsidiary only, I want to have control of the bootloading process with Rosa. Since you refer me to Ubuntu's restore bootloader, I con...

I have Rosa Marathon 2012 installed, and after this I tried Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The latter installs its own version of Grub. I strongly dislike Grub 2 because of its unwieldiness and want to reinstall Rosa's bootloader. So I put the DVD in the computer and started System Rescue like I used to do with ...

I did some experiments these days and found that customizing KDE does not cause problems as long as the theme "oxygen" is not used. "Oxygen" was the theme that I used in Mandriva 2010.2 without any problem. So my suggestion is that there is some incompatibility between the theme "oxygen" and KDE wit...

Today I noticed that CPU usage at after start up of KDE, while the computer is doing nothing, was close to 100%. To analyze this I added a new user and did not make any changes to the standard KDE/Rosa desktop. CPU usage was around 4%. As soon as I made some changes in KDE configuration the usage gr...

Yesterday I installed Rosa Marathon. The insstall progrma does not read the names in the Home diriceory likke Mandriva did. So I got the wrong name. I tried to cange this, but messed things.
