[opensuse-factory] Firefox won't start
by Richard Creighton 07 May '10

07 May '10

Ever since updating to >= 3.0 Firefox, I get some variation of the following: rcc@Athelon:~> firefox returned PAC proxy string: direct *** nss-shared-helper: Shared database disabled (set NSS_USE_SHARED_DB to enable). ** (firefox:10537): WARNING **: AT-SPI: Accessibility bus not found - Using session bus. /usr/bin/firefox: line 128: 10537 Segmentation fault $MOZ_PROGRAM "$@" rcc@Athelon:~> Of course, this is from a command line, From the 'kicker', I just get the 'bouncing ball" with no error message, after 30 seconds, it just disappears with no firefox, no message, no nothing. To restore Firefox, I have to reinstall, 2.5.9 or earlier, then, it works again. Installing any version later than that results in failure to start. This is with 11.3 factory. uname -a Linux Athelon 2.6.34-rc5-6-default #1 SMP 2010-04-22 21:18:20 +0200 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Updated 6 May Processor is an AMD 64 running 32bit Dual core mode 2 2G memory, LVM AND RAID 5 (4 drive x 1Tb) + 3 1Tb drives in the / and /home LVM. This all worked in 11.2 and 11.3 M4 and earlier until Firefox was updated beyond 2.5.9. Reverting Firefox causes the segfault to disappear, reinstalling the 3.+ (latest) restores the segfault. Now the squirrel...I have a virtually identical machine int the other room with similar hardware and also running factory, that works! ... but NFS won't run on it!!! The MBd is MSI but the CPU is an AMD...the MBD on this one is an ASUS. I have another one (ASUS) that I haven't upgraded yet...production machine, but another ASUS running 11.2 with no problems. So, far, I'm not sure whether it is the kernel interacting with Firefox or Firefox itself. Any Ideas?

[opensuse-factory] don't start with 512Mo ram
by jdd 07 May '10

07 May '10

Just a note to say my m6 install on virtualbox installs perfectly with 512Mo ram, but don't boot with this few ram! With 760Mo it boots perfectly I don't have time now to investigate more, I just quote this because it's very unusual. Most of the time the maximum problem come at install time Notice you a warned at install time that less than 1Gb ram is too lttle :-), so one can't see this like a bug jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-support-the-Linux-Documentation-Project/372… http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-fan-page-of-Claire-Dodin/106485119372062?… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

M4 bare was OK, but shortly after, *something* zonked it. I don't know if it was an update to Firefox itself or to the kernel. It first started by some of the websites (mostly weather underground) where some of the icons they use wouldn't display, then other things, then finally, entire pages, then firefox itself wouldn't launch...then I went back to 2.5.9 and all was well again. I still don't have a handle on just exactly *what* the problem is because on the other machine, also running M6+, it seems to work. The only real difference between these machines is this is an ASUS and the other is MSI motherboard, both use NVIDIA chipsets for video, have 2-3G ram, use at least 1-4Tb raid5 Plus LVM. Both have problems with rsylogd, one has problems with NFS, the other doesn't, one has problems with Firefox, the other doesn't (not both the same) both are AMD dual core running 32bit versions of M6 but the problem started while still running 11.2 in one case and persisted after an upgrade while the other is a "clean install of M6". There is no consistant pattern I can see except that M6 is the most cranky version of SuSe that I have EVER tried to make run. 10.3, 11.1, 11.2 have all been cranky at times but all have eventually been quite stable overall, but so far, except for M4, this has been a nightmare. With too many fundemental changes under the hood all at once, Xorg, Sax2, Firefox, uDev, PackageKit, ext4 , KDE4, Gnome3 or whatever, and dammed knows whatall else major changes to fundemental "stuff". This isn't even close to SuSE ELEVEN *anything* anymore, it is SuSE TWELVE dot ZERO PRE ALPHA, which is fine, but call it what it is, for goodness sake. Anyway, back to 2.5.9 again...I can't even get to Firefox to check the bug 600222 to see if I do or do not agree the bug is the same or similar <grin>.

[opensuse-factory] that RWX. problem
by Donn Washburn 06 May '10

06 May '10

Thanks to all that suggested a way to fix every directory and file RWXRWXRWX"." dot ( this whole openSuSE 11.3 M6 system ). I saw no suggests! So I beat it. It took some of my 15+ years playing with UNIX and beat problems. But now, /home/donn/file or directory is clear of the "." dot. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] installing opensuse 11.3 64 bit as a virtual box
by Shalom Kazaz 05 May '10

05 May '10

I'm trying to install 11.3 as a virtual box (sun vbox ose) running under 11.2 64 bit, my machine is lenovo T61 64 bit. I'm setting the iso image as the cdrom. when first starting up i get a popup message: "VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration has been enabled, but is not operational. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot. Please ensure that you have enabled VT-x/AMD-V properly in the BIOS of your host computer." with the options to quit or continue. if I choose continue the boot splash come on with the various boot options but immediately i get a message: "This is a 32-bit computer. you can not use 64-bit software on it." I've installed many virtual boxes in the past so I know what I'm doing. any ideas? -- Shalom www.tikalk.co -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Filesystem corruption in M6
by Jogchum Reitsma 05 May '10

05 May '10

Hi, I think I met a serious file system corruption in M6. I was triggered by the fact that an ftp session, after transferring some GB's, failed with a message that it could not open a new file for writing. Plenty of space, and access rights were OK, so I took a look at /var/log/messages, and saw a few lines EXT4-fs error (device md1): ext4_mb_generate_buddy: EXT4-fs: group 228: 1263 blocks in bitmap, 1266 in gd Googling I found that this may or may not lead to file system corruption, and I decided to reboot. fsck detected the file system to be not clean, and found lots and lots of multiple block claims. I was thrown at a root login prompt to do a manual fsck. Again lots of errors, and after I had fsck repair them, found after booting up that for example prefs.js in the thunderbird environment was totally corrupt. The ext4 file system resides on a raid-5 device consisting of four disk partitions, and was created with opensuse 11.2. Backups helped me out, so nothing was lost here in the end, but this doesn't enhance my trust in 11.3M6... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
