Version 10.1 When I go to online update through Yast I can choose which updates to install without a problem. Then I click Accept to install the updates and the window closes. I am back at the Yast home page. Thanks, Aaron

Something else to consider... have you added or upgraded hardware in that computer, from the time it was new? Maybe the power supply was barely adequate to the original configuration, and is now "fighting above its weight", as they say. The result, if that's the case, is usually intermittent glitches as multiple peak loads happen to occur simultaneously - say some demand on the video card, while the CD/DVD drive is spinning up, while the network card is pushing packets, while your USB nite-lite is on, and your USB desk-fan/hula dancer is twirling.... :-) A nice, quiet, super-stable 400W or 450W unit is simple to install and not too costly. Just a thought, if you haven't nailed down other causes, and the results of your testing so far suggest that the drive itself might be in fine shape, but it intermittently suffers reduced power when something else in your machine makes demands that the power supply isn't up to. Been there, done that (after _much_ frustration). Kevin The information contained in this electronic mail transmission may be privileged and confidential, and therefore, protected from disclosure.

Suse on older 'puters
by Stevens 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

I have an old K6-2/450 that will run Suse up to 8.2 but not version 9, as it won't run the 2.6 kernel. Of course, it won't run XP either, but who cares. So, it is quite happy with Suse 8.2 and KDE 3 and gives the g'kids something to use if they get really bored. Fred

SUSE 10.1 upgrade
by Arun Mallikarjunan 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello All, I have been holding this off for a long time but really want to upgrade my office desktop to 10.1. I have dell dimension 9150 which is running perfectly on 10.0. Can I just upgrade, or is it better to start from scratch? I do understand that starting from scratch is what most of you will advice but I had to install drivers for my ethernet card, video-card etc, I thought an upgrade might let me skip those. Is this advisable?

Annoying Susewatcher update
by Matthias Titeux 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

Hi I am using SuSE 10.0 x86. I am using Firefox as a web browser and I would like to keep the 1.0.6 version for two reasons : - When I did the update to 1.5.6, one extension (Biobar) does not work anymore (no fix for that yet) - The printing is broken (on 3 printers managed by CUPS, only 1 is working). I don't know how to fix that. Anyway, since the older version works well and Biobar is working, I would prefer stay with this one until the next update/patch will show up. SO... after the little introduction, here is the problem I reverted to Firefox 1.0.6 and now Susewatcher keep telling me that new update are available (Firefox 1.5.6 !). That is normal ! So I tried to protect the package using YaST by selecting the little yellow locker on the Firefox packages (both in the YaST>Software>Install Software and during the update process)... with no success What is odd is that Susewatcher did not take that into account. And if I go back to Install Software, the Firefox packages are not protected (no yellow lockers !). I would appreciate a little help. Thank You Regards Matthias -- ___________________________________________________ Matthias Titeux, PhD Departement de génétique des maladies epithéliums INSERM U563 - CPTP Pavillon Lefebvre, 5ème étage CHU Purpan 31059 Toulouse cedex 03 __________________________________________________

[opensuse] Suse Backup
by Regan Anderson 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

Hello, I am hoping someone can help with this question asap. I am stuck in a bind where one of my users removed a file from the server. I have a backup from a couple days ago. These backups were setup using the Backup utility in Yast. My question is, how do I restore these files from the 30 GB backup set (30 GB spanned over 10 files). I tried opening just one of the files but it was not recognized as a proper tar file. Can someone please let me a hand? Thank you! -Regan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Manually configuring an online-update source
by Ian Grant 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

Dear list, I have an autoyast script for OpenSUSE 10.1 where I have configured SUSERegister. Sometimes it works, but mostly it doesn't. When it doesn't, the autoyast install completes but my attempt to subsequently run a 'rug up -y' fails with 'no patches' (because there are no update sources configured, of course) If I then try to manually complete the SUSE Register, which is mis-named 'Online Update Configuration' in the yaST Control Center, then after a short delay 'contacting server ... this may take a while' I get an error 'No products to register' So I can't configure an update source that way. I have tried to configure a local mirror as an update source using these commands: sudo rug --quiet sa -t zypp \ http://nfs-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/linux/suse/update/10.1 SUSE-Linux-10.1 sudo rug refresh sudo rug sub SUSE-Linux-10.1 sudo rug up -y But I get errors: Resolving Dependencies... ERROR: Dependency resolution failed: Resolvable id 28428 does not exist. In https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=198666 I have read, in response to a problem with SUSERegister: Comment #1 FromMichael Calmer 2006-08-14 09:46:55 MST [ ... snip ...]For SUSE Linux you can skip the registration completely and add a update source manualy. Can anyone tell me how this is done? With either the local mirror or one of the 'official' SUSE ones.
