kde su does not accept correct password
by John Andersen 09 Sep '06

09 Sep '06

This bug is still around in 10.1. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=198408#c4 Andreas Jaeger reported it mysteriously "fixed" in alpha 3 plus (what ever the hell that is). Is this some particular KDE program that one could hack and recompile or does this require a significant upgrade? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Resolvable id 226576 does not exist.
by John Andersen 09 Sep '06

09 Sep '06

An error message only a mother could love.... Zmd updater listed a whole mess of packages (85) that could be updated, and after grinding on dependencies for seemingly two years, it spat up the error message: Resolvable id 226576 does not exist. This is somewhat less than helpful guys... So I jumped into Yast, and ran online update. It found all the same packages, and when I clicked the Accept button, it abended. Simply closed, and disappeared. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Mission: Impossible -> update KDE 3.4.x to 3.5.4
by Martin Mielke 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hi all, again yum/kyum won't work as expected... or at least they do but an error message shows up in the end... First, I must say that I updated both yum, and kyum from this repository hoping that any possibe bug could have been solved on newer versions: http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/cthiel1/ using kyum itself; everything went just fine. Now the yum stuff looks like this: # rpm -qa | grep yum yum-metadata-parser-1.0.2-4.1 kyum-0.7.5-6 yum-utils-0.6-7.1 yum-2.9.4-1 So far, so good... After retrieving the list of available updates for KDE using yum, I issued the following command from the shell, giving this result: # yum -y update arts arts-devel kdeaddons3-kate kdeaddons3-kicker kdeaddons3-konqueror kdeartwork3-kscreensaver kdeartwork3-sound kdeartwork3-xscreensaver kdebase3 kdebase3-devel kdebase3-kdm kdebase3-ksysguardd kdebase3-samba kdebase3-session kdebindings3-python kdegames3 kdegames3-arcade kdegames3-tactic kdegraphics3 kdegraphics3-fax kdegraphics3-kamera kdegraphics3-pdf kdegraphics3-postscript kdegraphics3-scan kdelibs3 kdelibs3-arts kdelibs3-devel kdelibs3-devel-doc kdelibs3-doc kdemultimedia3 kdemultimedia3-CD kdemultimedia3-mixer kdenetwork3 kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger kdenetwork3-news kdenetwork3-vnc kdepim3 kdepim3-kpilot kdepim3-networkstatus kdepim3-sync kdesdk3 kdetoys3 kdeutils3 kdevelop3 qscintilla qt3 qt3-devel qt3-devel-tools Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 102, in main result, resultmsgs = do() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 431, in doCommands return self.updatePkgs() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 906, in updatePkgs updated_pkg = YumInstalledPackage(self.rpmdb.returnHeaderByTuple(old)[0]) File "packages.py", line 599, in __init__ File "packages.py", line 493, in __init__ File "packages.py", line 512, in _populatePrco TypeError: iteration over non-sequence So... wtf am I doing wrong now? should I also update Python?? # apt-get -s install python Reading Package Lists...

udev - how to configure a specific mounting point for external
by Alain Barthélemy 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

HD? Reply-To: X-OS: Linux portable.maison 2.4.27-2-386 X-Ici: bartydeux SuSE-10.1 (x86-64) - kernel 2.6.16.13-4 Two external usb HD - one (HD1) with four partitions, one (HD2) with 3 partitions. They are mounted in a haphazard way /media/usbdisk-1, ... /media/usbdisk-6 I would like the four partitions of HD1 to be mounted as /media/disk1.../media/disk4 corresponding to the same partitions (disk1 is always the same partition, disk2, disk3, disk4 too). With udevinfo -a -p /dev/sda, I know that with HD1 SYSFS(model)=="0BB-00JHC0" and SYSFS(vendor)=="WDC WD80" but I did not succeed to type the correct udev rule in the script /etc/udev/rules.d/00-perso.rules I tried the rule: BUS=="scsi", KERNEL=="sd*", SYSFS{vendor}=="WDC WD80", SYSFS{model}=="0BB-00JHC0", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="usbhd%n" but without success. Is there a Web site where I can find the right way to type the rules? -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre(a)bartydeux.be http://www.bartydeux.be Linux User #315631

X server difficulties
by Bob Rea 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

I have lost the ability to run kde as my normal user. It will run as root, but I don't like to do that. Here is my .X.err fille: bob@gandalf:~> cat .X.err /usr/X11R6/bin/startx: line 237: 5510 Bus error xauth -q -f $xserverauthfile <<EOF add :$dummy . $mcookie EOF Fatal server error: Cannot move old log file ("/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old" Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.X.Org for help. giving up. xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. Previous to this I was able to start kde but not open kmail or xchat. opening them in Konsole told me that they had crashed and showed a seg fault then when I restarted i got the message in .X.err about. I tried fiddling with the files mentioned, m rm-ing the old file and moving the log file to the old file, or removing both, but to no avail. I can supply the xsession files if that would help. I also have old dcop servers from previous dates if that is any help. What would you suggest? -- Bob Rea mailto:gapetard@stsams.org http://www.petard.us http://www.petard.us/blog http://www.petard.us/gallery Freedom is only privilege extended unless enjoyed by one and all --Billy Bragg

80 Gb USB Hard-disk on a P3 Notebook
by Puneit Singh 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hi, I know this is a query which should not be posted in this mailing list as it is not related to SUSE. So, excuse me for that. My friend has a IBM Notebook with a 15 GB internal hard-disk. He is planning to buy an external 80 GB USB harddrive. Will using such a hard-disk cause problems, like slowing of the OS or anything like that. The box has a 256 MB RAM. And can he install Linux as an operating system on that 80 GB with windows on the internal drive. Is such a combination possible? -- Puneit Singh 0091-9350832020

Samba File Permissions
by Peter Bloomfield 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

I have a current problem with a samba server. When files are created a shared disk, the permissions on the file are rw-r-----. This is fine for the owner of the file, but the file is shared and needs to be writable by other users in the same group as the owner I have looked on the web and have come across the following arguments that can be used in the smb.conf file. create mask create mode force create mode and similar ones for directories. Does anyone have any experience setting octal permission bits for these arguments, If so can anyone suggest the bits so that I can have files created with permissions rw-rw-rw-, and directories readable and writable by users in the same group, rwxrwxr-x. Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated Peter
