[opensuse] OpenSuSE 12.1: connect-debounce error
by Peter Maffter 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

I am still testing my new machine. First I had problems with the fake raid of my AsrockZ68 Extreme4 Gen3: OpenSuSE 11.4 was not able to handle this in RAID1 mode. I switched to OpenSuSE 11.3 which worked. But I still wanted a new version of SuSE so I tried 12.1 a few days ago. There was a huge problem with Systemd and RAID mechanism which gave me the impression that this part is far too immature to be used. This view of mine is confirmed by the many problems of systemd that can be read on the internet. I switched back to SysV initialization instead of Systemd. SysV works now. But both initialization methods show an error: "<3>[ 4.722529] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled" This was not shown when booting SuSE 11.3 so I wonder why SuSE 12.1 fills up the logfile with that message: "... Feb 10 10:07:53 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 246.401407] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:07:55 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 248.441347] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:07:57 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 250.489279] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:07:59 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 252.537238] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:08:01 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 254.585179] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:08:03 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 256.633113] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:08:05 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 258.677047] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:08:07 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 260.724980] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled ..." :-( All USB ports seem to work and accept e.g. USB sticks. USB ports are ok as far as I can see. No hardware was changed between 11.3 and 12.1. Luckily I have the boot.msg from 11.3 and there are differences when detecting USB: SuSE 12.1: <6>[ 2.110478] hub 1-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 2.130475] hub 2-0:1.0: 2 ports detected .... <6>[ 2.555082] hub 1-1:1.0: 6 ports detected <===this one shows the debounce later on ... <6>[ 2.799073] hub 2-1:1.0: 8 ports detected .. <6>[ 6.116515] hub 3-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 6.116672] hub 4-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 6.117044] hub 5-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 6.117148] hub 6-0:1.0: 2 ports detected SuSE 11.3 detects USB different and showed no error: <6>[ 1.066475] hub 1-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 1.080467] hub 2-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 1.459873] hub 1-1:1.0: 6 ports detected ... <6>[ 1.678075] hub 2-1:1.0: 8 ports detected ... <6>[ 4.443160] hub 3-0:1.0: 4 ports detected ... <6>[ 4.443582] hub 4-0:1.0: 4 ports detected Is there a bug in the USB detection of SuSE 12.1?

[opensuse] Problem upgrade OpenSuSE 11.3 to 12.1
by claudioml＠mediaservice.net 25 May '12

25 May '12

Hello all, I have a problem with an upgrade, from OpenSuSE 11.3 to 12.1. On the old version of the distro, the hard disk devices are listed as /dev/cciss/etc., into the new release are listed as /dev/sd[x]. The problem is the upgrade don't see the older partition (Install from DVD), and don't see any SuSE to Upgrade. What can be the right manner to solve this situation, and upgrade to OpenSuSE 12.1 without re-installing all? Cordially, Claudio Prono. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I have upgraded my Hylafax server to 12.1. Installed Hylafax works fine. But i can't get the faxgetty to work in the /etc/inittab file. I have tried : mo:2345:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/ttyS0 mo:35:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/ttyS0 and even: mo:35:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty ttyS0 mo:2345:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty ttyS0 modem will not respawn after after reboot. If i run: usr/lib/faxgetty -D ttyS0 Modem works fine until I reboot. Then I tried: I created a file /etc/systemd/system/faxgetty-ttyS0.service [Unit] Description=HylaFAX faxgetty for ttyS0 [Service] User=root Group=root Restart=always RestartSec=30 ExecStart=/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/ttyS0 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Then in terminal I issued 'systemctl start faxgetty-ttyS0.service' Modem starts respawns great. Reboot and modem still dead. Any help would very appreciated. Steven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Upgrading the BIOS
by Basil Chupin 18 May '12

18 May '12

Yesterday I picked up from the store all the bits from which to create a new magical computer - which I will be so doing in the next 12 hours or so. There is an upgrade available to the BIOS on the motherboard - which the installation instructions suggest be done. However, the darn upgrade file is an *.exe file. I have "unarched" this file and it contains a *bat, an *exe and the actual BIOS upgrade file. I have never applied a BIOS upgrade while using Linux, and the last time I did apply a BIOS upgrade was some 9 years ago under XP. The question therefore is: how do I apply this BIOS upgrade when I install openSUSE (12.1)? Thanks for any hints/comments.

[opensuse] Video ideas?
by James Hatridge 03 May '12

03 May '12

Hi all, I want to do a slideshow with a voiceover and some titles. What I'm thinking is show a German stamp and I explain what it is, ie who is on it etc. Then upload it to youtube so that my customers know what the new stamps are. Can someone suggest a good program to do this with? Thanks! JIM -- Check out my stamp & postcard collection! Yankee GO HOME!

[opensuse] How to view county GIS data?
by Roger Luedecke 02 May '12

02 May '12

Most counties I have had to research have their own web-based GIS systems that are easy to use. San Bernardino instead has an FTP site that has the data. I downloaded QGIS, but have no clue how to use it. All I need is to be able to view a GIS map and look up an Assesors Parcel Number. I'm totally lost, and this is all greek to me. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Login password(s) not accepted
by Basil Chupin 02 May '12

02 May '12

Yesterday I installed 12.1 (KDE) from the DVD onto a brand new x86_64 system. Got everything working correctly - and was at peace with myself. Then I decided to upgrade KDE to v4.8.2 - which I had successfully done on the 32-bit system - using this repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/48/openSUSE_12.1/ I used "zypper dup --from <x>" - and the upgrade went thru OK. But then I rebooted the system - and the damn wheels fell off! :'( . My user password, and the root's, was unrecognised - or put another way, every time I entered the password the login screen would reappear. Rebooting the system and typing "init 3" at the Grub menu, and then logging in as either user or as root, both the passwords WERE recognised. As root, and using yast, I reset the user's password but this, again, was not recognised at the login menu (after getting past Grub that is). Does anyone know why this should have occurred? and how to solve this problem should it happen again? (I just finished re-installing 12.1 which was the only way I knew how to get my system back.)
