[opensuse] How-to Kernel Upgrade
by JULIAN ENRIQUE OSORIO AMAYA 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Greetings I want to upgrade my 2.6.27.48-0.2-default kernel (openSuse 11.1) to the last stable release (2.6.35.4) I followed the instructions from [1] but it didn't upgrade my openSuse 11.1, it installed the 11.3 version Is there a kernel repository and then add it to zypper and do the upgrade? Or this [2] is the best way? [1] http://en.opensuse.org//SDB:System_upgrade [2] http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_suse What is the best way to do that?

[opensuse] No GNOME after upgrade
by Robert Schweikert 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Hi, Used zypper dup to move from 11.1 to 11.3, and now my desktop will no longer display. Well, the background displays OK, but there is no panel and right click on the desktop does not work either. When I remotely log into the machine and set $DISPLAY to :0.0 and then try to start xlock for example I get the following: -> xclock No protocol specified Error: Can't open display: :0.0 Starting a GNOME app such as just results in the following: -> gnome-terminal No protocol specified Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display: -> echo $DISPLAY :0.0 Any ideas what's going on here and how to fix it?

[opensuse] Calendar wdiget acting funny
by Marc Chamberlin 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hi - I got a funny thing going on with the calendar widget on just my laptop. It works fine on other systems, but on my laptop the calendar shows about half the dates grayed out, or with just bits of the characters showing up. Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening? I have been doing updates regularly, running SuSE11.2 x64 with KDE 4.5.1 Marc... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] One repo in the pool killing updates - probably utexas.edu - can it be fixed?
by David C. Rankin 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Guys, It is literally like Russian-Roulette updating openSuSE with the mirror pool you get with download.opensuse.org. There is at least 1 maybe more mirrors that give no more than 1-4K/s download speed. (utexas.edu is a know problem repo). This is getting ridiculous. I have had to kill 3-4 updates in the past 2-3 days when I hit one of these mirrors. It would take more than an hour to download an 800k file. I have searched zypper.log and can't find the problem mirror this time. Where to look? Also, this has been a problem for more than a year, why aren't these mirrors being dropped or fixed? I end up having to hard-code the mirror I want just to get reasonable consistent updates. Something should be done to correct this. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Russian language support
by Roger Oberholtzer 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

We have had a request from a potential user if they can use openSUSE in Russian. I see support, so I know there is something. I think the main area of use would be KDE on openSUSE 11.2. Does anyone on this list use openSUSE 11.2 / KDE in Russian? Is the support usable? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

The word "Factory" refers to development version of openSUSE ONLY. > Unstable versions are in Unstable repo =) So what is Distro:Factory: ? I would think something can be either Distro or Factory, but not both at the same time. This always confuses me. Distro implies to me a released distro. Since there are openSUSEXXX folders further down the tree, I really do not get the purpose of the Distro: text further up in the tree. Something tells me it is because it makes some things in OBS easier, more than offering useful organizational information. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] ext3grep - undelete 'accidentally' deleted file on ext3 - new to me...
by David C. Rankin 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Guys, I ran across a tool that may recover files on an ext3 filesystem after an 'accidental' delete (doesn't work on corrupted files, just deleted ones). Many may already know about this, but it was new to me so I thought I would pass it along: http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html There are a number of packages ext3grep packages built for openSuSE in factory/contrib and build service. Use webpin to locate them (unless you are using 11.3, then you have to use zypper because wepin doesn't work -- still) Put this in the save file just in case you find yourself in a fix. -- David C.
