captive ntfs on new .108 Suse 9.1 kernel
by Alexander Rau 08 Oct '04

08 Oct '04

Hi: Just wondering if somebody successfully got captive-ntfs working on Suse 9.1 with the .108 kernel. The install and mount went fine but when I want to write to the ntfs partition or do an ls I get a Segmentation fault. Any ideas? Thanks AR

KDE file association and work path definition
by Andreas Philipp 08 Oct '04

08 Oct '04

Hello group, I have a Java application which installs an executable jar file in its application directory. To be able to start the application in Konqueror by a mouse click on the executable jar file, I created in the KDE Control Center a file association for jar files which executes 'java -jar %u'. So far, no problem. In Konqueror, I navigate to the application's work directory and click on its jar file, but from there all directory routes are interpreted as relative to my user's home directory, instead of relative to the application's work directory where the jar file is located. The application will never start, as it terminates with a 'NoClassDefFoundError'. The Control Center's File Associations Module offers the option to define a work path for the file associations created, where I can hardcode this specific application's work directory and everything is fine. This approach won't work whith other Java applications though, as they will have other work directories and their executable jar files won't be located in just one fixed place. So what should I put into the 'work path' directive of the KDE Control Panel's file associations module, to be able to start java apps with a click on their respective executable jar file, wherever it is located? Thanks in advance, -- Andreas Philipp Noema Ltda. Bogotá, D.C. - Colombia

Booting Problem
by Jerome Lyles 08 Oct '04

08 Oct '04

I was following Carl Spitzer's advice concerning getting my firewire drive to let me write to it(It worked,thanks Carl). He also noticed that in my fstab I had my floppy and dvdrecorder devices under subfs and he suggested I add 'users' to the fs= part of the media under subfs,which I did using vim. But I still couldn't write to the floppy even though I owned it. So I decided to run SuSEconfig-no help. Then I decided to reboot and this has led to a serious problem for me. When I reboot I get the message that: ' fsck failed, my / partition is being mounted read-only' and I must login as root. However when I run mount I get this: (none):~#mount /dev/hdb2 on / type(reseiserfs) (rw) /dev/hdb2 on / type(reseiserfs) (rw) Two entries for the same file system! And the filesystem is mounted (rw). Running: (none):~#fsck fails and I'm told to run it manually. But when I run fsck.reseiserfs --fix-fixable I get this: (none):~#fsck.reseiserfs --fix-fixable Partition /dev/hdb2 is mounted with write permissions, cannot check it. When I mount the system read-only it gets checked but nothing gets fixed. The first time this happened four days ago I was able to solve it by checking the 'initialize the / partition' box in the bootloader configuration dialogue in the rescue script of the 9.1 installation disk. But this time that doesn't work. I've also tried reloading a generic copy of the boot loader. When I try using the advanced setting in the rescue script to initialize my / partition I alway get an error ( something about high memory and low memory). If I tell it to try again the module crashes and I have to reboot. If I use the automatic option I can edit the bootloader module successfully but I have to go the the whole time consuming process. I've been trying to add a copy of my 'boot_problems' file which contains a copy of fstab to a floppy to transfer to this machine. '(none):~#cat /media/floppy/boot_problems' on my unbootable machine shows my boot_problems file but when I mount that floppy on this machine it is empty which I would expect the latter since not having write access to the floppy is why I rebooted in the first place. But I didn't expect the unbootable machine to show me my file when I run 'cat /media/floppy/boot_problems' even when there is no floppy loaded in the unbootable machine.! I don't know what else to do except: (none):~#fsck.reseiserfs --rebuild-tree. But I don't know if this will make matters better or worse or even work since fsck.reseirfs --fix-fixable does not. I've run the automatic rescue script option on the installation disk successfully several times so I'm not convinced its a file system or a boot loader problem. Can anyone help me get my system back? Thanks, Jerome ps At the fsck failed login prompt I log in as root, enter init5 and restartx. I get my GUI back but I don't have access to the web, I get the 'unknown host error' message. Also the prompt is 'user@(none):~> Instead of 'user@(Mycomputer name):~>. When I open the MyComputer Desktop Icon the drives:/ folder is empty. I've been to Novell looking for paid support but the prices start a $500. Does anyone know what's going on here? Does anyone know how to figure out what's going on here? Does anyone know how to fix this? This does not seem to be file system problem according to the rescue script on the installation dvd. So why is fsck failing at boot? Why does resierfsck --fix-fixable complain it can't fix the file system because it was mounted with write permissions? Is it supposed to be unmounted to fix? Why does mount show two instances of my root partition? How come umount doesn't get rid of one of them? Thanks, Jerome

Or you can cheat all together with a second box. I have a PII and a PIII the latter has 512mb and different sound and graphics. As I remember SaX2 in init 3 can fix things on the other box after a cheat install. Then root can redetect the NIC etc. Likely its time to buy more DIMM for the PII in any case.

purging system of gnome settings
by Henry Harpending 08 Oct '04

08 Oct '04

I have Mr. Ogley's new gnome 2.8 almost running well on my 9.1 sytem but annoyances remain--incomplete menus, occasional crashes, etc. I tried to get rid of all gnome settings by: removing everything in /tmp removing ~/gnome* removing ~/.gconf* but I fear I have missed something. Does someone know how to do a complete purge of any and all gnome settings? Thanks, Henry Harpending

RE: [SLE] Samba + LDAP on SLES 9?
by Cody, Adam 08 Oct '04

08 Oct '04

Dean asked: So should I expect the same problems with SLOX? Or does it have a different base than SLES9? I believe SLOX is based somewhat on SLES8 and the ldap stuff is geared more towards email/groupware (yast/webpage configuration stuff). I personally, after getting burnt on SLES9, would NOT try to configure SLOX for samba but rather just get it to do the email/groupware stuff.

Hi all. I've just updated my KDE to 3.3 using the SuSE 9.1 RPM's and also just installed the latest version of Firefox. However now when I load Firefox I get a Gecko window with the following inside it: title="&mainWindow.title;" -------------^ Running from the shell gives me the following error message: (QFA)Talkback error: Can't initialize. Does anyone know what this is, and also how to fix it? Thanks, Ged. .............. SuSE Linux 9.1
