Re: [SLE] kernel update!!!?!?
by Mike Noble 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

Do the following: as root: init s install the nvida drivers init 5 Basically this shuts the system down to single user mode which does not have the graphical interface running. You can then install the nvidia drivers because the xserver is not running. The init 5 will put the system back into full multiuser mode and the xserver will be running. NOTE: this will log you out.

Berkeley DB XML
by Dave Howorth 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

I want to use Berkeley DB XML on my Suse 9.3 system but I'm having trouble discovering how to use it. I've used YaST to install the dbxml, dbxml-devel and dbxml-utils packages. I've discovered some docs at /usr/share/doc/packages/dbxml. I want to use the Perl interface but I can't see anything that refers to it and I haven't been able to find the Perl modules. Does Suse ship the complete Berkeley DB XML product or have they removed features like the Perl interface? I can't find anything other than 10.1 docs on the Novell site now. Have they removed older ones? Cheers, Dave

need smart answers
by Bob S 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

Hello Suse people, No, not wisecracks. An answer to why smart won't install upgraded packages because it needs a gpg key. I posed this same question a couple of weeks ago and two replies were to ignore it. Wellll..that don't work. It wants a key. I joined the labix.org wiki and the same exact thing posted over 7 days ago without a reply. I saw a suggestion from Richard Bos pertaining to keys somewhat, and maybe to this question, After that I saw a reply that they were going to include it. Waited about a week, saw there was a revision to the four smart packages, downloaded them and installed them. Same problem. Won't install the packages without the keys. The error message says that smart imported the key successfully but then errors out saying a public key is not avasilable. Don't really understand this nor do I know how to verify a fingerprint. Getting very frustrating. I can't be the only one with this problem. Maybe what is obvious and simple for others is lost to me. Following is the message if someone wants to read it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Committing transaction... warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5277a2fa Trying to import the key 888366c05277a2fa from subkeys.pgp.net... gpg: requesting key 5277A2FA from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net gpg: key 5277A2FA: "Manfred Tremmel <Manfred.Tremmel(a)iiv.de>" not changed gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: unchanged: 1 The above GPG key has been imported successfully.

I'd try copytruncate in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog for /var/log/firewall. Make a separate section, or get /var/log/firewall out of /etc/logrotate.d/syslog into its own /etc/logrotate.d/firewall /var/log/firewall { compress dateext maxage 365 rotate 10 missingok notifempty copytruncate size +8192k } Not sure that it will solve the problem, though.

2.6.16.21-0.21-default keyboard issue
by Robert Lewis 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

This morning zen gifted me this new kernel. However, I have a new problem that I believe is related but can't be positive because other items came down the pipe as well. I am curious if anyone has seen this. I have two users on this machine. Namely me and my wife. We use the Start Applications -> Switch User -> Start New Session for the second person. Therefor, I am on F7 and my wife typically is on F8 unless she beats me to the system, (unlikely) after a reboot. When my wife comes over to my session on F7 and presses F8 to be in her environment everything works perfectly. However, after she is done and I try to switch back to F7 the switch never quite makes it and the keyboard completely goes away along with the mouse. Num Lck and Caps Lock won't work, lights are out. However, I can go to another computer and ssh -X into the machine and everything works just fine. To regain control I need to either reboot or init 3; init 5. This just started happening today after the reboot. Comments welcome. Cheers, Bob
