YOU and delta rpms
by sktsee 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on how YOU determines whether to update packages using delta rpms vs. downloading and updating an app with a regular binary rpm. The reason I'm asking is that this morning I was letting YOU update the stock kernel-default on my 9.3 system. Given my configuration, it was going to update kernel 2.6.11.4-21.7-default to 2.6.11.4-21.8-default plus the kernel source, kernel nongpl, kernel syms and ltmodem packages. In the past, whenever YOU updated the kernel it downloaded the delta rpms which took a lot less time to download given their small size. In fact, YOU showed that the estimated size of today's update was going to be around 5 MB. However, I noticed that instead of downloading the delta rpms, YOU was downloading the full kernel package. I cancelled the download and tried again, but YOU did the same thing. I did check to see if deltas were available from the mirror I had selected (University of Chicago) and they were there. I also tried another mirror (Georgia) and got the same result. So at this point I'm stumped as to why YOU is updating using the full rpm instead of using deltas. As I'm on dialup, I'd like avoid the approx. 60 MB download and figure out how to get YOU to update with the deltas since they are available. Any ideas? -- sktsee

directory dates on burned CDs
by Gabor Istvan 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

Dear folks: I have backuped some of my data on CDs using K3B burner application. When I checked the burned CD I realized that the dates of directories were modified to the actual date when I burned the CD. For a decent backup it is important - at least for me - to have the original dates in the backup. To check the origin of the problem I've created an iso image by mkisofs and found that in this iso image the directory dates were NOT altered. So it seems that K3b is the culprit. The only thing I don't know if this is a bug or this behavior depends on a (hidden) setting. Does anyone have similar problem?

Problem mountig cdrom
by Surrel Thomas 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

Hi all, I'm having some troubles with the automounting of my cdrom. Here's the story : I've installed without any problem suse 9.3 from the CDs. But now i can not access any CD. Here is my fstab : /dev/sda1 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/sda2 /home ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/sda3 /opt ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/sda4 swap swap pri=42 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs noauto,fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0 which seems ok, but here is the result of mount : dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/sda2 on /home type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) /dev/sda3 on /opt type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) /dev/fd0 on /media/floppy type subfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid) even when I have inserted a CD. But then, if I type : /bin/mount -t subfs -o fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,user,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 /dev/sr0 "/media/cdrom" as root, it mounts the present CD and eveything works fine (until I change of CD ...) It seems that subfs is having troubles since I found on dmesg this line : subfs: unsuccessful attempt to mount media (256) Any idea on how to fix that ?

printer loss [susepro 9.1]
by Serge Naggar 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

Hi, I still have not been able to resolve the print problem I have been having. I believe it is probably a combination of the susepro 9.1 and samba 3.0.9-2.6-suse interactions as the two systems on the lan have had the same problem of losing their printer and then not being able to regenerate them. I tried to access cups via //localhost:631/ with no success. I have tried a number of approaches: upgraded kde to v3.4; taken the unit out of the lan but nothing works so I am hoping somebody out there will have suggestion[s] which will solve the problem. Following is a copy of the /var/log/cups/errorlog: Listening to 0:631 E [31/Jul/2005:18:40:00 -0400] Unknown Location directive # on line 811.

Video-playback question
by Tim Erickson 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

I'm hoping someone can point out what I've not done in getting avi,wmv playback working. This is a stock install of Suse 9.3 w/mediapacks 1 & 2 installed. I've not done any other install-tweaking since I need this system to be stable for work. When I try to play wmv & avi files I get the error: "No plugin to handle this resource" and "xine couldn't find demux for *myfile*.wmv". I have installed the win32 codec package of course and *mpg files play fine. I had this going under 9.0 but since I hadn't upgraded until now I've forgotten what it was that needs to be done to play these files. The 'demux' reference has me particularly stumped since I checked the install requirements and everything seemed to be covered. any help-advice is most welcome. Tim

Dear All, Could someone please tell and help me to solve this problem? Actually I have got two hard-disks of where suse is installed on master and windows on slave. It was previously the opposite, I mean the windows on master and suse on slave, but after I reconferred the setting in shifting the jumper in order to have suse on master and windows on slave. After this operation I had several problems concerning the mdr and grub configuration, and than I decided to reinstall everything and now I still get the problem with starting. So when I turn on my pc the word GRUB displays and stops. Here is the last modification of the menu.lst that I have tried too ------------------------------------------ # Modified by YaST2.
