I must have missed them if they were in an earlier thread. I've installed 10.1 i386 and x86_64 from the downloaded CDs and not had one issue yet. -Alain. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com

Can Yast install from local directories
by Julien Michielsen 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Would like to use Yast to install rpm´s I downloaded. Until SuSE 10.0 I could specify local directories to be searched by Yast. However, when I try to do this under 10.1 (Software -> Installation Source) and then specify my download-directory, Yast complains that it does not find a catalogue. Does this mean one cannot use Yast anymore to install its own non-SuSE rpm´s? Thanks -- Julien Michielsen julien(a)michkloo.xs4all.nl

[SLE] Kdrc on 10.1
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Hi all, I installed SUSE 10.1 GM DVD downloaded ISO version. When I use Kdrc from 10.1 to 10.0 it works. When working from 10.1 to 10.1 the login screen does not come. With the 10.0 there appears an Authentication pop-up message, with 10.1 only a grey screen appears with the analogue clock only changing when the mouse is moved. So: >From 10.0 to any 10.1 the login screen does not appear / grey screen. >From 10.1 to any 10.1 the login screen does not appear / grey screen. >From 10.0 to any 10.0 the login screen appears >From 10.1 to any 10.0 the login screen appears Something on the receiving end of Krdc does not work for 10.1 :-/ Al -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com

[SLE] FAT32 undelete
by Sunny 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Hi, I accidentally erased my flash card with tons of photos. As it is mount as fat32, I was wondering if there is a undelete tool. My findings so far are: 1. fsck.vfat -u - but this undeletes one file at a time, and I need to know the filenames 2. A product named PhotoRec (http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec), but I could not find 64-bit RPM I use 10.0 64bit). I may compile it, but ... ;) So, any other option, possibly included with SuSE? -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Windows is a 32-bit extension to a 16-bit graphical shell for an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com

Hosed root dir
by Kevin Donnelly 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

While experimenting with editing video with Kino on 9.3, I moved some files and the machine froze. A reboot halted at the GRUB announcement. Rebooting into Installation -> Rescue Installed System said sda2 (root dir) and sda7 (a data dir) were corrupt, and suggested repairs, which I accepted. It also said that sda10 (another data dir) had an unknown filesystem on it. All dirs on the disk use Reiserfs. However, the app then hung at the stage where it attempts to mount fstab dirs. Accessing the system via Rescue System from the CD allowed me to mount all dirs except sda2 and sda10, and the data on them *appears* to be OK and accessible. Reiserfsck --check /dev/sda2 just gives up and says there must be bad blocks on the disk. At the minute the most likely option seems to be a reinstall on sda2 (assuming that the disk isn't totally kaputt), but that will lose my email and a couple of files I'd like to keep, including a small db I forgot to back up. Is there any option other than this nuclear one? Hoping someone can help ... Kevin Donnelly

[SLE] About Build service
by Adrián Ribao 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Well, I really like the idea, is the step that will make Linux king of the world. Only some questions: Do i have to add all the channels to smart like this? smart channel --add http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/<projectname>/<directory>/<project>.repo I wish is not like that. For example, can I add the KDE project only with one channel? I mean, not one for the kernel and other for the backports. If I have to do this with everything, it'll be hard to mantain repositories.
