by Stephan Binner 09 Sep '06

Hello, as previously suggested by Sonja we have now created a new mailing called opensuse-project to separate the project and community related discussion from the generic support questions the "opensuse" list gets flooded with. To subscribe send an email to opensuse-project+subscribe(a)opensuse.org . Bye, Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

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
