Can >someone tell me which option I should choose here? >Thanks, >Greg Wallace Well, I just tried YOU again and this time I didn't get the conflict message. Looks like it was just a temporary snafu in the packages that were available for update. 7 packages were installed, including one for kdebase and one for kdebase-suse. Looks like maybe they left out the kdebase package the first time and so the kdebase-suse update conflicted with the old kdebase I already had installed. Since it installed both of them this time, that would seem to explain how the conflict was resolved (again, just a guess).

by Holger Keilhauer 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Hi! i installed openSUSE 10.1, and it works mostly fine. I want to move the screen completely like at the install in X and Y Coordinates for some pixels left and some pixels down. I could not find this in Yast or in another Tool. How can i change it? Second Question: I want to change the start screen from graphic to text to show the kernel informations and module loads. (i can get it by pressing ESC button) I want it a a default without pressing ESC, but i could not find some like this in YAST. Thx a lot! by H.K.

BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA I see the arguments back and forth, it is all about choice, that is why I like Linux. Just an attempt to enter some humor into this, getting way too serious argument. -- 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

[SLE] opensuse 10.1 runs out of memory, then kernel panic
by Kevin Lewandowski 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Hello, I've installed opensuse 10.1 (amd64) on a new system and it hangs after a few hours of being up. The hardware is dual Opteron with 4 gigs of ram. After booting the system there are no applications running but my available memory (given by top) eventually goes from 4 gigs down to zero, giving this message on the console: "Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory and no killable processes...". I'm running kernel version 2.6.16.13-4-smp and have also tried 2.6.16-20-smp with the same results. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem? thanks, Kevin

[SLE] KMenu for user is larger than for root
by Sergey Mkrtchyan 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Hi list, For an ordinary user KMenu is quite larger, which is really eye-killing, but for root it is in normal size, I searched all Control Center, but seems there is nothing for that. Is it configurable?

suspend to disk working nice now - replace boot process?
by Johannes Nohl 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Dear list, with 10.1 the suspend to disk is working fine on my computer. This is a fast option but after long sessions there are a lot (dead) processes which are reloaded after suspend. Is it possible to define a state (e.g. the login prompt after init 5) as return point after suspend. Finally I want to do shutdown (not suspend to disk) but when restarting the computer the suspend-state defined before should be loaded. Is it possible? I hope I made my idea clear, if not ask me...

SuSE 10.0 hangs on shutdown
by ti＠amb.org 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Hi all, I installed SuSE 10.0 x86 on my desktop computer which was previously running SuSE 9.1 Professional. Everything is working fine except that the system hangs everytime during shutdown. The last message displayed on the screen is "Sending all processes the KILL signal...". I have to hard-reset the machine to un-freeze it, which of course means an unclean root filesystem. SuSE 9.1 Pro did not exhibit this problem before. Anyone else have this problem? Any hints to how to solve this problem? The computer is an e-Cube CF-968L mini-cube, here is a web link: http://www.chyangfun.com/pt_barebone_d.asp?MID=1&SID=e-cube%20series&PNo=CF… My system has a Intel Celeron 2.4GHz processor installed, and 1GB of memory. Thanks, -Ti

[SLE] Installing 10.1 from CDs oddities
by BandiPat 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Hi all, I'm throwing this out first to see if others have experienced the same thing, before I report it to bugzilla. When everyone first started to complain about 10.1 and the few problems it seemed to have, updater, missing proprietary kernel modules, etc., I suspected it was only the usual whining that came about from a new release with some changes. I think I may have to join the group though, if the latest experience I have had is the normal behavior. Let me try to explain. While trying to install 10.1 from the 6 CDs on a pretty ordinary machine where all other SUSE installs have been no problem, things did not go well. I've spent about one & half days now trying to get 10.1, boxed, to install. First problem I ran into was the software installation getting to the 3rd or 4th disc and yast reporting that it could not find the file on this disc. Nothing unusual, right? Retry, abort, ignore. I asked it to retry and immediately it dropped out of yast to continue booting to the login screen. Of course, it's very difficult to login if there are no users or passwords established. Tried several things without success. Restarted the install process with another set of 10.1 discs, thinking something wrong with first set. During the second install, at the installation, update or other screen, I made the mistake of selecting the add source for other addons (not exact wording). I think someone else may have mentioned this problem/bug and it would seem to be a problem. Thinking I needed to add disc 6 with this, I proceeded. Tried to add, it couldn't find a catalog, so went back a step without selecting anything. Suddenly the machine seemed to be maxed out on the cpu. Slow response on everything, machine mostly unusable! Tried getting the disc out of the drive, but couldn't, it was locked. Again, I restarted the installation. Ok, third time I have everything figured out and should work. Wrong! Again, died at 4th disc with couldn't find file. Abort, retry, Ignore. Ignore this time and here it goes, booting to login screen. Again, tried several things in an attempt to have it continue, but no luck. Ok, so something is wrong with the discs, the brand, the burn, something or the ISO it was made from. I start a fourth time, with a new set of burned CDs only to get to the 4th disc to not find the file again. Same thing, boot to login screen. I do the old ctrl-alt-del key sequence for a reboot, but before I could change the disc to CD 1, it starts the process, but goes back to the installation screen asking for disc 4! Installation proceeds from there without further problems. Frustration had already started to settle in, let me assure you and the 10.0 discs were ready and waiting for their problem free turn! I've never had an install take as long as this nor so many problems on hardware that is very Linux friendly. Installing from the DVD on my main machine was a breeze and problem free, except for the terrible mono updater and other things everyone else has mentioned. Overall, 10.1 just has not felt right, not complete or something. I am sure neither I nor many other long time SUSE users were expecting this from such a seasoned Linux distro. As scsijon mentioned in his mail, I also will not recommend my customers to upgrade to 10.1, as 10.0, by far, felt more finished & stable. I would like to know if other CD users have experienced such problems and should it be reported to bugzilla?

[SLE] KDE-3.5.3 & missing icons
by Leendert Meyer 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Hello, After upgrading KDE-3.5.2 to 3.5.3, some icons, including those from the titlebar (close button, max button, etc.) were missing. Today I updated again. The titlebar icons are back, but still some icons seem missing, e.g. Contact sidebar icons. Strangely enough, when I hover above the Contact sidebar icons with the mouse, they appear. But not the selected icon. That one shows up after selecting another icons. Other seemingly missing icons are: KPowerSave icon in the taskbar, KPowerSave icons in the KPowersave Information Dialog, some icons in KPowerSave's tray icon menu, one of Konqueror's icons on the toolbar at the far right side (throbber?), several application icons in the titlebar (Contact, Konqueror). But you probably don't need the whole list of missing icons. ;) Is this work in progress?
