Geeko : I love riding
A few months ago, I’ve started to look for my next car. Then a crazy idea emerged, why not a Geeko’s car?
At that time Gilbert my mechanic [www] told me that Ford will get a new Fiesta model called Sport+ with a more powerful engine, a new look & feel. I went to the exhibition and made a short test drive. The car was cool. The exhibit model was in blue with 2 white stripes.
Blue? Green would have been cool isn’t it?
Geeko place on SecondLife
Ladies & Gentlemen, months after the first virtual party [1][2][3] organized for 11.4 launch,
Françoise (aka Morgane Marquis) and myself (tigerfoot) organize 3 new parties on SecondLife [4] to welcome and fest our next release openSUSE 12.1, coming around the 11.11.11.
You should take this opportunity to try Second Life, creating an avatar, coming to dance and drinking some beers with us at Geekos Place.

I’ve rebuild and published the new rpms on October 1st
fglrx 8.892 Catalyst 11.9 in action
Sebastian Siebert (freespacer) : 11.9 article (German)
Dear users of fglrx drivers (pre-packaged or .run installer)
On 19th August I’ve opened a pledge see this article, and I’m give you today a refresh status :
I personally already thanks of the actual donors. You rocks !
We are almost done at today, but almost is not done 🙂
So if you can spread the word a bit more, that’s would be really cool. My objective is been able to give the money back to Sebastian Siebert during our openSUSE conference. And so create a kind of ceremonial.
Can I count on you ?
I’ve rebuild and published the new rpms today
Catalyst 11.8 - fglrx-8.881 in action
I’m refering about my previous post, and invite you to help back contributing to
Sebastian Siebert (freespacer) : 11.8 article (German)
Dear flgrx’s users of rpm or ati-installer.run, this time I’m asking your help.
Sebastian Siebert (freespacer) give his time to maintain the SuSE part inside the installer. Unfortunately he didn’t have high-end graphics card, nor double screen, and thus is not able to test nor report results to AMD.
He’s also spending time on irc and forum to help users when things goes wrong.
So how can we help him? Simply giving back a little amount of money, if you can afford it.
I’ve opened a pledgie for that : see the full explanation at
pledgie.com/campaigns/15879.
I really count on you. Spread the word.
ps : Catalyst 11.8 is out, stay tuned, I’ll be back this week-end.
Monday before Desktop Summit, I’ve just learned that we (as openSUSE/SUSE) will not have the SuseStudio kiosk.
Too bad, but Wednesday, I finally get confirmation from my customer, that the new hardware will not be delivered before Friday 12th. Ah ah good news. I will be able to go to Berlin. So I bought the last airplane ticket for Friday afternoon, and also the last bed at good price.
I will be a Berliner for a few days! And fill the blanks to maintain our booth up and welcoming
I’ve rebuild and published the new rpms last wednesday, but didnt find the time to give some news here.
amd ccle control center
Please refer to my previous article where all the installation procedure is explained.
Troubles?
Some instabilities could happen. In case of crash like no keyboard, mouse, and blackscreen on reboot. Try to shutdown properly your computer with the shutdown poweroff button (or remote ssh). On reboot, just add 3 at the end of grub line to restart in console mode.
Then with yast or zypper you can always remove the actual version and try the previous version available in the repos.
All credits to Sebastian Siebert (freespacer) : 11.7 article (German)
Users have reported that version 8.861 of catalyst 11.6 compile correctly under Tumbleweed with 2.6.39 kernel and the driver is ready for kernel 3.0x, so until xorg change too much and then AMD support for the new version, installing the 11.4 version should work
For factory, I’ve build a repository (see previous article) that can be used, and fglrx build.
The new package are called SUSE121 & no more SUSEFACTORY.

All proudly served by openSUSE powered server! zypper dup from 11.2 to 11.4 in 45minutes last month
squidview is one of the software, I’ve always build and installed on each squid proxy server I build for me or customers. It’s small, stable, and usefull. So it was a clear real nice candidate to be use to improve my obs and packager skiil.
I would like to thanks T1loc, yaloki, mrdocs, coolo, alin, and all others great packagers around, for helping and teaching me during the process.
Squidview is an interactive console program which monitors and displays squid logs in a nice fashion, and may then go deeper with searching and reporting functions.
(If you don’t know what squid is or does this program is probably not for you.)
To use squidview you must at least have read access to squid’s access.log file. You may need to see your administrator for this. Squidview uses this text log file for all operations. It does not generate its own database for tasks.
homepage www.rillion.net/squidview
Squidview has a number of functions. Navigate the log file with the cursor pad keys, jump to a certain day or switch to a different log file. Search for text or large http/ftp requests.
Put squidview into monitor mode: see the latest activity updated every 3 seconds (this is light on cpu load).
Reports can be generated listing the heavist Internet users and the most popular visited sites. See how many cache hits squid makes to save network traffic.
Squidview is released under the GPL.
The selected line shows a request made for a .gif at the shown time. As luck would have it, the 'H' indicates a cache hit 🙂 In this mode user traffic can scroll by.
What the above would be if viewed with less.
A tally of all users against the bandwidth they used. Kept current in near real time.
A quick investigation into the recent history of one user.
I’ve just made a submit request against openSUSE_Factory to get it included directly, but in the meantime, you could install it from the repository server:proxy as many other useful & related packages
For example adding the repository under openSUSE_Factory
zypper ar -c -f -n "server:proxy" http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/proxy/openSUSE_Factory "server:proxy" zypper in squidview
The package is build successfully against : SLES10, SLES11, openSUSE 11.3 to Factory
Have Fun!
