[opensuse] 10.1 terminally ill
by Peter Cannon 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Hi All I'm not really looking for a fix persay more an explanation of why if possible as I intend to wipe it and start again when 10.2 is ready. I run OpenSuse 10.1 with KDE as the default however I've been using Gnome session over the last month or so I also was happily using Beryl with XGL. On Sunday last after messing with fstab (Which cant be related) my system started playing up. 1. Try to login for Gnome session: It looks like its working then jumps back to the login screen. 2. Try to login for KDE session: Error message dcop (might have spelt that wrong) server not running. 3. Try to login for FVwm session: All OK desktop comes up fine. 5. After running a FVwm session I can login to either Gnome or KDE weird or what? 6. .ICE authority permissions keep changing of their own accord: get an error message "Could not write to .ICE Authority" (I know how to sort that but not how to stop it changing on its own). 7. Beryl dead it was working before but now cannot use beryl window manager: It says compiz-manager is selected but thats dead too if I try to start beryl-manager from command line it says XGL not installed... But It Is!! The really strange thing is my daughters can login in fine although xgl/Beryl isn't working for them either. -- Regards Peter Cannon "There is every excuse for not knowing There is no excuse for not asking" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

But as you talk about NW3.12, there was no NSS available at all. NSS was introduced with NetWare 5.x on additional volumes than sys, and 6.0 was (IIRC) the first version to support the sys volume as NSS too.

[opensuse] ... corrupt or not a torrent file
by ken 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Okay, I installed ktorrent. Docs I read say "simply click on the torrent file..." I do that and always get an error saying that it's corrupt or not a torrent file. I've tried it with a lot of different torrent files... same result for all of them. Downloaded the "torrent file" (blahblah.torrent), opened it in ktorrent-- same result.

[opensuse] 10.1 Yast Online Update
by Scott Leighton 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

I think I'm confused again <g>. Just upgraded from 10.0 to 10.1 and am trying to get used to some of the changes that apparently occurred. The new update process has me baffled. The zen-updater icon tells me there are no updates, but when I go to yast2's online update, a ton of patches are listed, some with checkmarks, some without. Which one should I believe?

[opensuse] NIC
by susehelp＠torchlighttech.com 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

So, I figure you guys developing Opensuse may know what's going on. I am running an MSI computer with Microstar International motherboard, Intel 915 chipset, etc. The driver is Realtek for my wired NIC and when I installed 10.1, during the hardware scan, it found it. After install, it couldn't recognize it as wired NIC so I can't get wired internet. When I look at Hardware details, it is listed. I am using the SMP version of the kernel. Can you tell me how to get my wired NIC working? My wireless is working (ipw3945ABG) minus the fact that it has a 5 ft range. It is listed as eth1 and requires that I push a button to turn on the wireless NIC. Any ideas? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Re: Mounting a Novell Netware NWFS filesystem
by Greg Freemyer 27 Nov '06

Catherine, Is there an easy way for me to determine if these are NSS volumes or traditional volumes? I suspect traditional since my notes say the computer had been running Netware 3.12. But I don't know when NSS became common. Also, I don't currently have SLES nor OES, but this may give me enough reason to upgrade.

[opensuse] Armada M700 SuSE-10.1 display problem
by Alain Barthélemy 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

Was there an answer to this mail (in september)? Because I have exactly the same problem. Original mail: Hi, I'm new to Linux. I just installed suse 10.1 on my old laptop, Armada M700 and found the display problem. It's like the top part of the screen is shown at the bottom. I tried to change the resolution, monitor and frequency around but couldn't get it to work.

[opensuse] DVD videos do not run

Do not know why but suddenly I cannot view any DVD video (and VCD video's). I have tried out all videoplayers from the KDE menu but to no avail. I also ran the commands in konsole and all programs showed a message with following content (as example the output from xine).
