[SLE] 10.1/nVidia Driver Nasty Bug
by Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

Hi, I have absolutely strange glitch on 10.1 (stock kernel from DVD, GeForce 5500) with nVidia driver 8762. Compilation and installation of nVidia kernel module went without any problem, commands like modprobe, switch2nviadia and glxinfo run successfully, but sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia (and x.org) cannot switch to any other resolution but 800x600/60 Hz. No matter what I have tried (recompile nVidia driver, restart PC, editing xorg.conf manually, etc). nVidia dummy driver can run on any other resolution which monitor supports, as well as 10.0 and the same nVidia 8762 driver. There is a new kernel at: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/opensuse/repositories/Kernel/SUSE_Linux_10.1/i586 but kernel rpm and kernel-source DO NOT match: kernel-default-2.6.16.18-1.1.i586 kernel-source-2.6.16.18-20.1.i586 Anyone have an idea how to solve this?

[SLE] ATI Radion driver in SuSE 10.1
by Jay C Vollmer 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

Hi everybody. I've noticed that the Radion driver used in SuSE 10.1 is not nearly as effective on my Thinkpad T41 as the one which was included in SuSE 10.0. GoogleEarth is slow in 10.1 compared to 10.0 I enabled 3D in Sax2, but without discernable effect. I wonder if I'm being forced to use Mesa emulation. Does anyone have any idea how I might improve performance. If it matters, the video is an ATI Radion RV250 Lf aTdHvAaNnKcSe -- JAY VOLLMER JVOLLMER(a)VISI.COM TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK - IGNORE FULLWISE -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com

Would using the Cacti RPM from 10.1 on a 9.3 box just royal f**k things up? - Ben -- Faith is the truth of passion. Since no passion is more true than another, faith is the truth of nothing.

[SLE] Installing X.org 7.1 -- OOo conflict resolution -- help please
by Shriramana Sharma 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

I got X.org 7.1 from the packages at: http://software.opensuse.org/download/xorg7/SUSE_Linux_10.1/i586/ I downloaded all but the devel packages, put them into my Smart channel and am now trying to install them. All I did was to select xorg-x11 for upgrading, and it threw up a whole lot of resultant changes. There are a lot of xorg-x11-lib* modules as dependencies, which is fine, and it says it's going to update xorg-x11 and xorg-x11-libs which is also ok. But it also says it needs to *downgrade* kaffeine to 0.7.1 from the packman 0.8.1 I installed. And it needs to remove: NX OpenOffice OpenOffice-quickstarter OpenOffice-kde kpowersave tightvnc xterm Now I don't care about NX, kpowersave, tightvnc and xterm but I do need OpenOffice. And the build service does not seem to contain any OpenOffice folder where updated OpenOffice packages can be found. Any suggestions on what I can do? -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.53 on SUSE Linux 10.1 $ date [] CCE +2006-06-28 W26-3 UTC+0530

[SLE] Firefox crashes on Print or P/Preview and Audacity crash
by Clark P. Case 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

Is anyone having problems with Firefox crashing when you try to do a print preview or even a simple print? I am on Suse 10.1 and I have all updates patched as far as I know... Firefox is 1.5.0.4. On an off topic I have problems with Audacity crashing when you try to preview an effects sample.. In addition it claims that it cannot access audio resources.. An Ubuntu forum has post from those who think that it's a conflict with the system sounds and that shutting down the ESD daemon will fix it... (not really, just a workaround that kills system sounds when you get right down to it) Hope someone has a few suggestions... Thanks in advance

Check the box by it and then click accept Thanks for all the replies. I'm on 10.1 which IIRC uses a somewhat different update mechanism than previous SUSE versions. However, I have gotten it to install already by adding the --nodeps option to the rpm command. Got a few warnings. But I hope it's nothing too fatal. -- Stand before it and there is no beginning.

RE: [SLE] Where might IMAP mail have gone?

Sorry, not ungrateful for replies, just away for a few days. Anders Johansson [mailto:andjoh@rydsbo.net] replied: > You might want to check the hard disk of OS X, to make sure > Mail hasn't > downloaded the email and then deleted them from the server Eeek. I thought the point of IMAP was to keep the mail on the server and manage it there, rather than on local machines (that was why I wanted it, anyway). Mac users must be a weird bunch if they'd default to wiping server-held mail a-la POP3. I keep running afoul of my assumptions, but I haven't quite figured out where I get 'em from in the first place. Perhaps I've got a random-assumption generator. Where's the "off" switch? > You might also want to make sure there aren't any hidden > (unsubscribed) What's the significance of your use of "unsubscribed" in this case? I mean, I didn't immediately equate it to hidden in terms of files. Was that a reference to a file-system attribute or to a mail file/folder attribute, or something else? > folders on the IMAP server. Many email clients will default > to a setting > of "show only subscribed folders", so if your email has been moved to > another folder on the server, they would become "hidden" I had Konq set to "show hidden files" when I was looking, but of course I only looked in places I thought likely. Maybe I'll try searching from the command line for ???????????????????????????.???? unless somebody has a more useful pattern to use for Maildir files?
