[opensuse-kde] Upgrade to SuSE11.0 wireless network trouble
by Marc Chamberlin 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hello - I am in the process of upgrading my HP Pavilion dv9000 laptop from SuSE10.2 to 11.0. Most of the installation process has gone fairly well, and I have done a clean install to a new disk, not an upgrade. One of the major difficulties that remains is to get my wireless networking up and running and so far no joy in doing so. (I had a LOT of troubles also, with SuSE10.2, so I am not really surprised that I am having troubles now.... In 10.2 I could not get any of the supplied drivers to work so had to resort to using NDISWRAPPER and the Windows driver called bcmwl5.inf for the Broadcom wireless network interface. Trouble was it was pretty flaky and would crash a lot on me during boot up.. And I noted the warning about using NDISWRAPPER at my own risk and that I would not be able to get any support from Novell if I did so....) I was hoping that in SuSE11.0 there would be a supplied driver for this interface. I don't really know if there is and hopefully some kind guru will point me in the right direction. What I do know is that what the system is installing, by default, does not work so I need help. The hardwareinfo in Yast2 shows the following (what I think is pertinent info) about my wireless interface - Model: "Broadcom BCM4312 802.11a/b/g" Vendor: pci 0x14e4 "Broadcom" Device: pci 0x4312 "BCM4312 802.11a/b/g" SubVendor: pci 0x103c "Hewlett-Packard Company" SubDevice: pci 0x1360 Revision: 0x01 Driver: "b43-pci-bridge" Driver Modules: "ssb" Device File: wlan0 Because of the need for some processes to access the internet while the system is going through its runlevel boot up processes, I have chosen to install the wlan0 interface using ifup and ifdown rather than the KNetworkManager, which I don't believe activates any interface until it is called upon by the user to do so. And that is after the system is completely booted up. The following cut and paste shows some additional info and the failure I am getting when I try to bring up the wireless interface - marcslaptop:/ # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wmaster0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"(myessid)" Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: Invalid Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B Encryption key: (mykey) Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 pan0 no wireless extensions. marcslaptop:/ # ifup wlan0 wlan0 command 'iwconfig wlan0 nick marcslaptop' returned Error for wireless request "Set Nickname" (8B1C) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported. Starting DHCP Client Daemon on wlan0... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . no IP address yet... backgrounding. interface wlan0 is not up trying it this way gives - marcslaptop:/ # ifconfig wlan0 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory The DHCP server is working fine and the wireless network is fine... I have also been fooling around with the NDISWRAPPER to see if I could get the wireless interface to work but again no joy... So can anyone offer me a way to get this working? Much appreciate and thanks in advance for any and all help offered...

[opensuse-kde] Upgrade to SuSE11.0 helper menus fail to launch
by Marc Chamberlin 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hello - (I will start a new thread for this) I am in the process of upgrading my HP Pavilion dv9000 laptop from SuSE10.2 to 11.0. Most of the installation process has gone fairly well, and I have done a clean install to a new disk, not an upgrade. I decided to stick with KDE3.5 as my desktop and will wait until the dust settles on KDE4.0 before advancing to it. A minor annoyance has cropped up however and I wonder what has happened and how to fix it. In SuSE10.2 and 10.3, if I inserted a CD or DVD in my drive, or a thumb drive in my USB port, I would get a helper application automatically launched asking me what I wanted to do... This rather nice feature has gone away in SuSE11.0 and I wonder if something is broke or was a decision made not to support it any more? (that would be sad and a real loss of a nice convenient feature! IMHO) I do notice that these get mounted ok under /media so I know that SuSE is recognizing the fact that I have put something in the drive or a USB slot... So what gives? Why am I not getting the helper menus any more? Thanks for any and all help offered in advance...

[opensuse-kde] KDE 3.5.10.28.2 update fouled
by Patrick Shanahan 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

SLED 10.0 updated from kde 3.5.9 to 3.5.10-28.2 and kde apps no longer work, konqueror fouls stating mostly: "Could not find mime type application/octet-stream" and "No mime types installed." and "Protocol not supported http" root and a new user are both fully functional with kde. Removing ~/.kde is not a solution, provides same errors. What file do I have mis-configured? tks, -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.1.2 task bar problem
by russbucket 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

openSUSE 11.0 KDE 4.1.2 latest updates. Panasonic 19" monitor set at 1024 X Yesterday my task bar suddenly wrapped around where 1/2 of it was on top and halh on bottom of the screen. By playing with the panel sizing I can get whole panel on bottom but the panel height is approx 1 1/2" high any smaller and it wraps around again. I think it was an update yesterday but I don't know which one. I check everything in KDE system setting and I don't see anything that changes it back to how it was. Anyone had this problem or know a cure? -- Russ Linux register user 441463 openSUSE 11.0 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org
