[opensuse] SMART have broken my system
by GunnarH 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

I have installed Opensuse 10.1 for the 10. time. And as always it is the sound system that goes to hel.. I have used the DVD that was with Linux Format, and all thing went well until to day. I have got the Xine to play DVD, I have downloaded Thunderbird, and I reboot my system every time I did some changes. Everything look fine, so I started Smart and did an upgrade of all packages, noe my sound system is gone mad, the sound goes in a loop and will not stop. I have had the same problem earlier, but then I blamed it on ZND, but now it is SMART that have done it, with a help from me. Can someone help me, it is impossible to stop the sound, it goes on and on.

I am using suse 10.0 and installed apt4rpm using suse 10 dvd that was the cover disk in issue 55 of linuuser & developer magazine. aptate is installed and am having problems running it. aptate should produce a sources.list for suse 10.

deleting/writing on a read-only filesystem
by Istvan Gabor 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

Hello all: I use suse linux 10.0 default. My hard drive has damaged. (from dmesg: Additional sense: Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 8650815 ... etc.) Whenever the OS can't read something it changes the filesystem mounting as read-only. Since the hard drive still has the warranty I would like to replace it. But before bringing back I'd like to remove some files from the drive. However I can't write or delete on the damaged harddisk since it always gets mounted as read-only. How could I still erase the drive or force mounting the drive as read-write?

'browse for other folders' window always visible by default
by Istvan Gabor 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

Hello all: Newer mozilla/seamonkey and some other programs use (I guess) gtk interfaces, eg for saving files. How can I make the 'browse for other folders' window visible as a default setting? It irritates me that I have to click the 'browse for other folders' line every time when I want to save a file (eg in seamonkey). Thanks, IG _______________________________________________________________________ Lóerők, hengerek, igényre szabottan! http://jarmuapro.origo.hu/advancedSearch.do?cid=1&rid=1#chooseCategory

[SLE] Broken: Ping, NTP; Using: ndiswrapper, knetwork manager
by Jason Snyder 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

Hi, I setup SuSE 10.1 on a Toshiba Satellite P35-S611 using the Atheros net5211 Windows 2000/XP networking driver. At first it was dropping the connection a lot despite being in the same room as the modded (Tibor) Linksys WRT54GL wireless router it was connecting to, but a fresh reboot seems to have corrected this problem. However two more problems remain despite going on yesterday (2006/08/05) and patching up to the latest patch level including kernel patches and rebooting: 1. Ping seg faults. 2. The NTP setup wizard in YaST errors out when you try to move on to the second screen. However I can still do all other networking activities such as web, ssh, etc so wireless networking is working properly as far as I can tell. Any help would be appreciated. --Jason Snyder--

YaST Software Updater Dies
by PerfectReign 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

I'm running 10.1, having upgraded from 10.0 last week. Most of my issues have been easily worked out. I went to watch a movie trailer and realized I don't have mplayer. I've been happily using YaST to install software, such as tux racer and other important items, so I went there. As soon as I click on a package (the little checkbox) the software managememnt part of YaST closes. It simply exits with no apparent message. Now, to start with, I've been getting the following message whenever I go into yast. This didn't happen with 10.0: The file /repodata/repomd.xml (ftp://packman.unixheads.com/suse/10.1) is not digitally signed. This means that the origin and integrity of the file cannot be verified. Using the file may put the integrity of your system at risk. Use it anyway? Just for kicks I went into YaST in the command line. I still get the message, but was able to select packages and install. Running the command 'tail /var/log/messages' gave me the following after the gui version dies: yoda:/home/kai # tail /var/log/messages Aug 5 06:13:17 yoda dhclient: DHCPACK from 192.168.0.1 Aug 5 06:13:17 yoda dhclient: bound to 192.168.0.101 -- renewal in 1515 seconds .
