How to make a new wiki entry
by Jerry Westrick 26 May '06

26 May '06

Hello there.... I've been asked several times to add some of my "Linux remote" documents and knowledge to the OpenSUSE wiki. Last Night I attempted to do so, unfortunately I ran into some problems. First off, you ask me to not to add the document to wiki till it's finished, but I could not find a method to build the document out side of the wiki. So I'm can't figure out how to do this. Secondly, is it possible to do the document with OO, and then convert / add it to the wiki? Jerry

udev configuration question
by Gaël Lams 26 May '06

26 May '06

Hi all, I'm trying to undersand how udev and configuration of network interfaces work together. I read a few articles explaining how udev works, how to define rules, ... but, having a look at for instance a SuSe 9.3 configuration, there are two things that are not clear to me: 1 - I understand that they are udev rules defining the naming convention used to create something like ifcfg-eth-id-00:12:79:d5:9e:25 in /etc/sysconfig/network/ but I don't really understand how this file is "connected" to, for instance, eth0. It was my understanding that rules placed in /etc/udev/rules.d would have made the trick but I had a look there and see nothing related to eth0. Where/how is it define that what you see with an ifconfig corresponds to what is written in ifcfg-eth-id-00:12:79:d5:9e:25? 2 - I was my understanding that the use of udev would have allowed a really "slim" /dev folder but when I look at /dev, I still see the hundred of devices I used to see on kernel 2.4 - based distribution?? I've no problem, just curiosity but any hint/explanation would be appreciated :-) Regards, Gaël

No Sound on IBM R51 with SUSE 10.1 and SUSE 10.0
by Andreas Otto 26 May '06

26 May '06

Hi, SUSE 9.3 was the last version I could get the built-in soundcard to work with. Actually it worked out of the box. Starting with SUSE 10.0 I can't find a configuration that works and produces any output at all. SUSE 10.1 is in no way better. lspci shows: 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) Subsystem: IBM Unknown device 0554 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 0 Interrupt: pin B routed to IRQ 11 Region 0: I/O ports at 1c00 [size=256] Region 1: I/O ports at 18c0 [size=64] Region 2: Memory at d0100c00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512] Region 3: Memory at d0100800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=375mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Does anyone have the same problem an got it solved?

Hi guys, In 10.1, under KDE, OpenOffice by default uses the KDE look-alike theme, but it's buggy. How do force it to use it's default theme? Simply uninstalling the OpenOffice_org-kde didn't work. Thanks Hans

Simply use "su -" instead of "su", because you are inheriting the user's environment, instead of using root's environment. My guess is that then you would get yast in English (default). If not, then simply add the "LANG" thing: > su - # yast2 or # LANG=us_US.utf8 yast2 (one line). - -- Saludos Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEd01YtTMYHG2NR9URAqriAJ0U07jz0O3Iyau/K0OsIy3PHpIz2gCffJ1g MfP/WucxgHJtmyYxvd8B68Y= =xcZE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

SUSE 9.1 vs./etc/init.d/after.local
by pelibali 26 May '06

26 May '06

Hi, On SUSE 10.0 I use the file called /etc/init.d/after.local to run various things after the machine booted up. I wonder if there is an equivalent for this file under SUSE 9.1; there a file named like the above doesn't get executed... (Yes, checked the admin-guide and man pages already, but until now with no results.) Thank you, Pelibali

new ATI driver and suse 10.1, missing dependencies
by António Rodrigues Tomé 26 May '06

26 May '06

Hi, I've just download the new ATI propriety driver. But in suse 10.1 one gets a missing dependency libexpat.so.0 is needed by fglrx_6_9_0_SUSE101-8.25.18-1.i386 In fact in suse 10.1 libexpat.so.0 isn't available but libexpat.so.1 is. Because of that I've tried to instalk with --nodeps option but I was unable to have 3D working. So I've choose to downgrade. If anyone knows a workable workaround please let me know. best regards, -- António Rodrigues Tomé artome(a)ubi.pt <---official e-mail address artome(a)gmail.com <---alternative security e-mail address http://www.dfisica.ubi.pt/~artome http://www.cgul.ul.pt/curric/cgul_tome.htm

Problems installing 10.1
by Michael Juntunen 26 May '06

26 May '06

I had a friend download the x86_64 DVD iso for me. I burned the iso to a dvd and verified that is was a good burn. I put the new dvd into my desktop (running 9.3) and it reads just fine. My machine will not boot off this dvd, however. I compared the 10.1 dvd with some other bootable dvds that I have and I noticed that the boot folders are organized differently. The other bootable dvds that I have, do indeed work. So my questions are: Is someone else haveing problems with this? Could the problem be in the way the boot folder is organized? Does the problem lay elsewhere? Thanks in advance. Michael __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
