firefox won't launch
by Ryan Biltz 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

Whenever I run firefox as a regular user (not root). I get the following message instead. As root the browser launches fine. I'm stuck with konqueror at this point. Any ideas? /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/firefox-bin: undefined symbol: gdk_threads_lock

RE: [suse-amd64] forgotten "root" password - SuSE 9.3

Hello John, hello Walter Thanks for these informations. Tomorrow morning, as soon as possible, I will try what you wrote. No, I did not keep the original files passwd and shadow, I overwrote them by "cp shadow.old shadow" and "cp passwd.old passwd". I should have kept them before. But the files passwd.Yast_saved and shadow.yast_saved are still in the /etc with passwd.old and shadow.old. All is not lost :-) ! If no more possible by this way, I will try with options at boot. I didn't remember any more. Suspens for tomorrow .... Kind regards Pascal ================================================== Pascal, The only part you should have removed was the portion in /etc/shadow that followed root: and between the two colons as this is the hashed password. i.e., original entry root:<hashed passwd>:12345:0:10000:::: edited entry root::12345:0:10000:::: Replace the x in /etc/passwd and restore /etc/shadow and just remove the hash between the first pair of colons in /etc/shadow. This should set root to no password. You did backup /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd first before you made changes right? John ================================================== Hello Pascal On the boot prompt append '1 rw init=/bin/bash' without the quotes. This will start a shell without having to enter a password. There: # passwd # init 6 Cheers Walter

forgotten "root" password - SuSE 9.3
by patheve2 12 Sep '05

12 Sep '05

Hello all Last Friday, I installed SuSE 9.3 AMD64 on a laptop. I did not noticed the root password on a paper, thinking that I'll keep it in memory. But the human memory is not perfect ... and I forgot this password. So, don't panic, said I myself, there is a way to solve this problem. I booted on the DVD and selected "rescue". After login, I mounted the partition : mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt Then, I went to /mnt/etc and edited at first the "passwd" file. I suppressed the "x" in root:x: ..... Finally, I edited the "shadow" file and suppressed the coded password with other datas. As result, there was : root:::::::: I rebooted the laptop on its harddisk. But, no way to establish a login as root. I tried with "root::::" as suggested on the SuSE forum. No improvement. Well, I think that there is an other protection level. An idea of how to do in such a case ? Thanks Pascal

kde won't launch in suse 9.3 unless root or my account
by Ryan Biltz 12 Sep '05

12 Sep '05

Hello, I just recently installed suse9.3 (64bit AMD) and i am able to login thru the gui interface but not with any other user except my normal user and the root user. Other users in the NIS domain are not able to login. All our startup files (cshrc) are the same. I've checked to make sure the /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and windowmanager has kde and kdm set correctly. We don't have .xsession files and the .xsession-errors file has the following in it: xrdb: colon missing on line 13, ignoring line xrdb: colon missing on line 14, ignoring line stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device /etc/X11/xim: Checking wether an input method should be started. INPUT_METHOD is not set or empty (no user selected input method). Trying to start a default input method for the locale en_US.UTF-8 ... There is no default input method for the current locale. xset: bad font path element (#325), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax xset: bad font path element (#325), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax startkde: Starting up... kbuildsycoca running...

I think the line I highlighted in red above is the cause of the problem. I just don't know why I am able to login ok thru the gui and others are not. I have an NVidia video card. Also I am unable to launch firefox, under my account, from the icon on the desktop. I have to issue the firefox command on the command line. I also had to create a link for the lib_png.so.2 that firefox was looking for in order to launch from the libpng.so.3.1.2.8 file in the /usr/lib directory. Somehow I think this is related or affected by the error above. Has anyone experienced this? I've seen several posts by users just by searching for that line on google but none of them has been able resolve it. TIA. --ryan

SK8N SUSE 9.3 problems
by Marcin Zalewski 12 Sep '05

12 Sep '05

Hello, I am trying to install SUSE 9.3 on Asus SK8N motherboard running Opteron. I use the built-in Promise SATA controller with two disks in IDE mode. I was able to perfectly run SuSE 9.1 on this system for a long, long time. Now, with SuSE 9.3 I am not even able to get through the installation. It seems that the disk access causes the installation to hang sooner or later. When files are being copied the installation just freezes. It seems that this problem is not specific to SUSE. Any other distro with 2.6 kernel that I tried freezes in the same way as SUSE. Does anyone have a success story installing SUSE 9.3 on a similar setup? And also, is there some way that I can save kernel messages during installation? Thanks, Marcin Zalewski

I'm trying to build qcat 2.0.4.0 community edition from source on SuSE 9.2/AMD64. It is complaining that it can't link to the library -lqassistantclient, but I have all the qt3 devel libraries I can think of installed from the DVD. Where is this library? -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at ..........

The Gimp after upgrade 9.1 into 9.2 AMD64
by patheve2 11 Sep '05

11 Sep '05

Hello With SuSE 9.1 whose KDE 3.2 was updated into KDE 3.3, The Gimp worked fine. After upgrade into SuSE 9.2, The Gimp 2.0.4-3.1fails to run after configuration (at first lunch) just after the moment of the display parameter. An upgrade into 2.2 of Gimp does not improve anything. An idea of this problem ? My laptop is an Asus L5D with the last available graphic driver for AMD64. Kind regards Pascal
