Sorry SuSE: 9.1 is Waste of time and money!
by Terje J. Hanssen 17 May '24

17 May '24

I am sorry to conclude that my upgrade from SuSE 9.0 Pro to 9.1 Pro has been waste of time and money for me, so far. The same I have to say about the free SuSE "Installation support". The reason is that my SuSE 9.1 installation only detects 1 of my 3 SCSCI devices (as I wrote in another subject on this forum: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-May/3254.html) Yamaha 4416S CDRW recorder detected HP DVD Writer 100i NOT detected Epson 1640SU scanner NOT detected It's rather stupid. I have installed 9.1 using the DVD disk just in the HP DVD drive, but after the installation of 9.1, the KDE/Konqueror /media/recorder cannot access it and YaST2 cannot install additional software from it. Only one "Cdrecorder" is found in My computer and that is the Yamaha 4416 drive, which the KDE/Konqueror file manager assign as /media/recorder11. I am sure 9.1 is the reason, as I hadn't this problems with 9.0. I have tried both an update and two several new installation of 9.1. Neither SJDS nor Windows on the same multiboot PC have problems to detect these devices. In my opinion SuSE should therefore debug 9.1 better and longer, and not leave the problems to the customers. I see SuSE notes on their web saying that they know SCSI scanners are not detected in 9.1. But regarding my HP DVD writer problem, the SuSE support (as usual) don't take the responsibility and argue that this problem (a combination of IDE disk and SCSI devices) isn't included in their free installation support! This sounds remarkable, and I have never had a modern PC of so simple model or configuration that it has fitted the limited rules for the free installation support. Terje J. Hanssen

Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi all, Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no? end of line Tracer Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash -- ---KMail 1.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.3 2.6.34.7-0.2-xen no boot possible
by Thorolf Godawa 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

Hi, I have done a fresh openSUSE 11.3 (32bit) install on a Lenovo ThinkCentre M58p 6234-1AG (C2D E8400, Q45 Express, GMA 4500, 82567LM-3). First problem was, that the network card was not recognized, I had to build in a second one. Fortunately after updating the system and a reboot, also the 82567LM-3 was working. With the normal Kernel 2.6.34.7-0.2-desktop the system works, but if I try to but with the Xen-Kernel 2.6.34.7-0.2-xen, the boot begins, but suddenly stops in a very early state. The last messages I see are: Doing fast boot Creating ... Then the screen goes blank and finaly in sleep mode. To reboot I have to power off and then power on again the system :-( In the Grub-menu.lst originally I had: ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: xen### title Xen -- openSUSE 11.3 - 2.6.34.7-0.2 root (hd0,0) kernel /xen.gz vgamode=0x317 vgamode=0x317 module /vmlinuz-2.6.34.7-0.2-xen root=/dev/...part6 resume=/dev /...part2 splash=silent quiet showopts vga=0x317 module /initrd-2.6.34.7-0.2-xen I already tried to remove the second "vgamode"-entry, finaly all "vgamode" and "vga"-options and set "splash=0" but this did not helped, "nomodeset" is not doing anything too (I think it's only for Nvidia).

[opensuse] Experimenting with rsyslog message formats
by Carlos E. R. 05 Dec '10

05 Dec '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm trying to get rsyslog to output the messages in a format I would like. I'm, using the "RSYSLOG_SyslogProtocol23Format" template for one of the log files, which prints like this: <30>1 2010-11-22T16:29:04.707021+01:00 Telcontar smartd 3860 - - Device: /dev/sdc [SAT], SMART Usage Attribute: 194 Temperature_Celsius changed from 29 to 28 For this I use this rule: *.* -/var/log/allmessages;My_SyslogProtocol23Format The problem starts with the templates: the definitions are not documented, I had to dig them out of the sources: static uchar template_SyslogProtocol23Format[] = "\"<%PRI%>1 %TIMESTAMP:::date-rfc3339% %HOSTNAME% %APP-NAME% %PROCID% %MSGID% %STRUCTURED-DATA% %msg%\n\""; I would like the timestamp to be like "2010-11-22 16:29:04". To this end I define my own template derived from that one: $template My_SyslogProtocol23Format,"<%PRI%> %TIMESTAMP:::date-rfc3339% %HOSTNAME% %APP-NAME% %PROCID% %MSGID% %STRUCTURED-DATA% %msg%\n" which works - ie, it is the same as the original one. So far, so good. But I can't find documentation for the "TIMESTAMP" formats supported. In the file "features.html" I see: +++······················ Current Features ... • good timestamp format control; at a minimum, ISO 8601/RFC 3339 second-resolution UTC zone ······················++- date-rfc3339 produces output like 2010-11-22T17:09:20.201284+01:00, which is different from what the CLI equivalent does: cer@Telcontar:~> date --iso=ns ; date --rfc-3339=ns 2010-11-22T17:13:58,866637161+0100 2010-11-22 17:13:58.868123100+01:00 (the one I want is --rfc-3339=seconds, wich in "date" does not print the "T") I think that rsyslog got the specification reversed. Anyway, if I try the "other one" in the template: $template My_SyslogProtocol23Format,"<%PRI%> %TIMESTAMP:::date-rfc8601% %HOSTNAME% %APP-NAME% %PROCID% %MSGID% %STRUCTURED-DATA% %msg%\n" I get this output: <46> Nov 22 17:16:48 Telcontar rsyslogd - - - ... which means it was not recognised at all. I have also tried "date-rfc8601=seconds" and "date-rfc33390seconds", none works. There is no mention in the sources of "rfc8601", only date-rfc3164 and date-rfc3339. So the question is, what are the syntax timestamp modifiers, what modifiers are really available? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse] Poor routing performance OpenSUSE 11.3

I recently upgraded my firewall from 11.0 to 11.3 and one thing I've noticed is routing performance is much worse. I have a 10 Mb/s download via cable modem and regularly achieved that with my old firewall. However, with 11.3, I'm barely able to reach 5 Mb/s. I even increased the memory of that computer, from 128 MB to 512, but no difference. Any idea what might be causing this?

[opensuse] setting locale in openSUSE / KDE
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

When I want to switch to a new locale, I need to make multiple changes: 1. Select the locale in KDE (Configure Desktop -> Locale). This results on all KDE using that locale. But that is not enough to make everything use the new locale. 2. Add LANG=whatever to my .bashrc file. As an example, if I do step 1, the openOffice ICON is in the language of the KDE locale. However, openOffice itself fill not be in that locale unless I do step 2. This applies to all non-KDE applications. The 'locale' command in a Konsole, for example, does not reflect the KDE setting done in step 1. It will be correct only if I do step 2. The editing of .bashrc seems the odd step.

[opensuse] cupsd settings

Hi, I'm trying to print to a remote cups server. The setup should be correct already with one issue left. The printer is always broadcasted with the hostname instead of the ip address of the print server. This hostname cannot get resolved in this network (I know it's bad but no way to change that). All documentation I've found says that I need to set "ServerName" in cupsd.conf to the ip address. But this doesn't work. It's still broadcasting the hostname as part of the printer uri. This is openSUSE 11.3 with cups 1.4.4. Any pointers? Thanks, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.3 on EEE PC 901 with LiveUSB

I wanted to try OpenSuse 11.3 on my Asus EEE pc 901 by booting from a live usb stick. But ASUS refuses to recognize the stick on boot. Once it boots up, it can see the stick, but it does not show up as an option in the boot menu. The stick itself is fine. I used it on another laptop, and it boots quite happily. It's 4G, divided into two partition. The first partition is marked as bootable. I created the stick from the LiveCD iso image using the imagewriter, as suggested on the Wiki. Various threads on EEE PC user forum suggest that 701 and 901 may not recognize bootable USB sticks unless they are formatted as FAT16 or FAT32. FDisk says that the first (bootable) partition on the stick is iso9660. Assuming that the problem is indeed the file system type, is there a way to convert that liveUSB filesystem to fat32? Or has anyone else succeeded in booting the LiveUSB? I don't have an external CD drive, so unless I find a way to boot from it, I cannot install opensuse.

[opensuse] kde4 3.5 - use of mc on remote host kills mouse-click input
by David C. Rankin 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

Guys, Will, Sven, KDE 3.5.2. I opened konsole and used ssh to connect to my backup office server (suse 10.3) and needed to run mc to move several directories around before a backup. The only apps running were an xterm, konsole and compiz. Once mc started, strangely, it was grabbing focus from the mouse where the mouse would highlight the files/directories and would automatically open the menus on mouseover. A mouse-click did nothing, but everywhere the mouse moved, mc lit up and focus jumped from file-to-file, etc. That in itself was very frustrating. Every time you moved the mouse to do anything (like try and get to another window) the mc interface would try and follow the mouse, sequentially focusing every file or popping open every menu along the mouse path. The problem however is when mc grabbed the mouse (mouse events, whatever you call it) mouse input in plasma was disabled or crashed. With mc on the remote server still active, I could still move the mouse around in kde4, but that was it. There was no way to change focus between windows with the mouse, you could not grab the window any move it, the plasma panel would not unhide and clicking the mouse did nothing. Shutting down mc while konsole was still open made no difference. I could move the mouse, but it didn't do anything except move across the screen. No way to raise the panel or focus or move any other window, etc... At this point, the only way to interact with kde4 was through the keyboard (tab, alt-tab, alt-f2, and alt-menu accel keys). Clicking on anything had no effect. Shutting down konsole (where mc was connected to the 10.3 box) restored the ability to raise the panel and use the mouse to focus windows and focus menus, buttons (on open applications), etc.., but you could not open the start menu, activate or do anything with the mouse clicks. It looked like plasma was just ignoring all clicks or whatever reads mouse clicks had crashed. The only way to open thunderbird and write this email was 'alt+f2 thunderbird' Obviously, I need to be able to use mc on remote hosts though konsole on kde4. However, with this behavior, no only is mc unusable, the entire desktop becomes unusable. Is there some setting somewhere in kde4 I can set that tells kde4 not to try and process mouse events in konsole when I launch mc? From working trough this issue, it looks like as soon as kde4 tried to provide mouse input to mc, mouse input to the rest of kde4 broke. What else can I provide to help here? I really need to get mc usable for remote hosts in kde4. I'm kind of shocked that it doesn't just work and I don't know enough about kde4 to know where any setting relevant to this issue might live. Thanks. P.S. during the 5-10 minutes it took to write the e-mail, mouse-clicks have began to work again. That's a positive sign, but I can't have the mouse drop out for 5-10 minutes every time I open mc on a remote host. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] KDE factory

Hi, i'm not sure wether this is the right place to post. Seems the KDE factory repository for 11.1 (that is http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE%3aDistro%3aFactory/openSUSE_1…) is broken for two days or so. Namely libstrigi-0.7.3-41.2-x86_64 does not provide libstreamanalyzer.so.0()(64bit), which affects dozens of other packages (no update possible). Another broken thing is phonon-4.4.3-52.1-x86_64: "nothing provides phonon-backend >=4.4.3 needed by phonon-4-4-3-52.1.x86_64". Appropriate backend packages are missing. Did i miss something?

[opensuse] BASH - shorter way to isolate PID and process name from 'ps ax'?
by David C. Rankin 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

Bash gurus, I need a sanity check on my approach to just getting the PID and process name from 'ps ax'. I have a way that works well, but I think I've done it the long way. What is the simplest way to do this? I've thought about cut and the other small string chopping routines, but I've ended up just using substring extraction and substring removal to chop the pieces out of the lines I want. Here is what I've got. There are 2 snippets below. One where I just read the 'ps ax' output, and a second where I save that information in an array just in case that ends up working out better with later tests, etc...: ## basic function to trim whitespace from each end of string ## dunno who I got this from, but it is great... trimWS() { [[ -z $1 ]] && return 1 strln="${#1}" [[ strln -lt 2 ]] && return 1 trimSTR=$1 trimSTR="${trimSTR#"${trimSTR%%[![:space:]]*}"}" # remove leading whitespace characters trimSTR="${trimSTR%"${trimSTR##*[![:space:]]}"}" # remove trailing whitespace characters echo $trimSTR return 0 } ## set the internal field separator to only break on newlines OIFS=$IFS IFS=$'\n' ## initialize variables and array to hold process information psearch="$1" let count=0 declare -a parray parray=( $(ps ax | grep -v "grep\|${0##*/}" | grep ${psearch}) ) ## read matching process names from ps ax w/o the array for i in $(ps ax | grep -v "grep\|${0##*/}" | grep ${psearch}); do ppid=$(trimWS ${i:0:5}) pname=${i#*:} pname=${pname:3} echo "[$count] - ppid: $ppid pname: $pname" (( count += 1)) done ## test the array (just in case I want it for later use) for ((j=0;j<${#parray[@]};j++)); do tmp=${parray[$j]} ppid=$(trimWS ${tmp:0:5}) pname=${tmp#*:} pname=${pname:3} echo "j: $j - ppid: $ppid pname: $pname" done Both reading directly from 'ps ax' and storing the information in an array and processing it work fine. The main intent was to handle the 1-5 digit integer PID which is what drove this approach. (though in later thought, I guess it doesn't matter. If I'm just going to call kill with the PID, I could just pass the 5 character string to it and not worry about trimming the whitespace...) All of this seems like the long way to get the PID and process from 'ps ax' output, but it is what I know. So what say the experts? Is there an easier/shorter way to skin this cat? -- David C.

[opensuse] kmail stopper working after transferring mail
by constant＠indo.net.id 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

When I start kmail after the latest update I get following information:KMail encountered a fatal error and will terminate now. The error was: You do not have read/write permission to your inbox folder. This happened after I got a little screen which informed me that there was some mail/ gmail data transfer. Do not know how I could get back a functioning KMail. Looked at the kmail inbox but there i do have rw permission. Perhaps the reason could be found in the fact that I have kmail symlinked to an separate MAIL file name in my /home/.This would let me use the kmail with other suse versions. Did this transfer write something different down or does it not read symlinks? ___________________________________________________________ indomail - Your everyday mail - http://indomail.indo.net.id -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Dolphin Version 1.5.9 Using KDE Development Platform 4.5.80 (4.6 Beta1) <<<<--------BETA I've noticed that Dolphin, once started and exited will not start again. As root, dolphin process exits within a second after closing the window (by any normal means), but as a regular user the process hangs around forever after the window is closed. Any attempt to restart dolphin again after closing the GUI will start another process, but will never show the window. If you leave the first dolphin process running, you can start as many additional ones as you wish, but close the last window and you get no additional dolphin launches till you kill off that lingering process.

[opensuse] xterm tab completion behavior
by Alex Angerhofer 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

Dear List, I have recently installed opensuse 11.3 with kde on a new-built system. Somehow my terminal settings got messed up. When I type a command in xterm there appears a little white box at the bottom with the characters as they are typed.rather than after the command prompt. I'd rather see the characters in the actual xterm window than in the box. When I try to use tab completion it does not follow expected behavior, i.e., it does not complete what it should but rather gives me a list of possible completions none of which contain what I want. For example, I occasionally use acroread. Rather than type the whole command I used to be able to type "acr" and use tab completion to finish the command. If I typed "ac" nothing would happen because there would be some other command starting with the same letters. Now in the console, when I type "acr" and try to use tab completion I get the following choices from the console, none of which contains "acroread" : 1. AC 2. ace 3. acer 4. ACL 5. ACM 6. acre 7. ACS 8. act 9. air 0. Apr AR arc. If I do the same from whithin an xterm window I get the completion "acre" Needless to say, this behavior drives me nuts. How can I get the old behavior back? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Alex. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Repair Broken SSH
by Andrew Joakimsen 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

I have a system with a broken installation of openssh, suddenly one day I can not use the scp command at all. I removed all config files relating to ssh and removed/reinstalled the openssh package, now besides the scp command being broken I can not even start the SSH service, it complains about the RSA keys are not generated. I don't care about the configuration or preserving anything. How can I restore SSH configuration to be exactly like it would be after a new installation of openSUSE? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
