[opensuse] Compiz Confusion with ATI Rage Mobility 9700 Card
by David C. Rankin J.D. P.E. 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Listmates, I am still pulling my hair out trying to get compiz to work with my laptop. I have Install ati 8.40 drivers and removed official ati drivers and the ati repository and tried the 1-click http://opensuse-community.org/ati-legacy.ymp to install the version that is supposed to work on most ATI hardware. The legacy drivers did not work with the mobility 9700 card, no acceleration and no 3D. Frame rates were 1/10 of the 8.4.1 drivers. I have also redirected the /usr/bin/X link to /usr/bin/Xgl and switched on xgl via gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl. I get a fusion icon and I can play with the control center, but that's it. Everything is dog slow, and no 3D. If I try the same link and enable xgl under the new ATI drivers 8.4.1, the system is basically non responsive. I have now switched back to the working 8.4.1 drivers, disabled xgl and repaired the /usr/bin/X link to /var/X11R6/bin/X. All works fine. The 8.4.1 drivers are the drivers for the mobility 9700 card. However, Compiz must not have made that coordination because the legacy 8.4.0 drivers, don't even recognize the correct graphics card. I'm getting to the point of believing that support for the mobility 9700 card for xgl and compiz is just not there yet. If anyone has any other thoughts please send them along. I feel I have pretty much chased this rabbit to it logical end. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

I closed > firefox, and the 2nd time I started firefox I got again the above message. fglrx (or not) has nothing to do with firefox working or not. Firefox just needs a local (or remote) working X where it can display (or not). To check, you could uninstall and reinstall firefox. Alternatively, I would download the firefox tarball from mozilla, extract the tarball and move it to /opt. Then try /opt/firefox/firefox and see what happens. Furthermore I would move ~/.mozilla away, to ~/.mozilla.org and see what happens. or you try to start firefox in safe mode "firefox -safe-mode" > > 2. konqueror 3.5.7. works, but every link I click, I get the message > (e.g.): > Open 'http://www.google....oogle+zoeken&meta='?

[opensuse] Could not find the openSUSE Repository
by Susemail 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

I downloaded openSUSE-10.3-GM-DVD-i386.iso to load on my Sony grx 670 laptop. The md5sum is correct. The installation goes well until this error message: 'Could not find the openSUSE Repository. Activating Manuel setup program. I use the Linuxrc program until I choose the CD as my installation source which gives me the error: 'no repository found'. What does this mean?

[opensuse] Alternate superblock for a repair
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

After some blackouts I had to do some repair work to do on my computer. Most of my Sue 10.2 is working again but I got a problem with the second half of a 4Gb harddisk. The second half is not recognised any more and I am told to manual check the partition and try my luck with an alternate superblock. From earlier posts I remember that you can not just use the superblock from the repair proposal "e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hdd2 but that you should use the right superblock. Which is the right one for this case and how and where can I find this out. The harddisk is divided in a 2Gb part running from 0-261 and a second partition from 262 to 522 (1,9 Gb) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] VMWare Workstation 5.5.1 on OpenSUSE 10.3 (Solved)
by Masim "Vavai" Sugianto 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

Hi, Just to make a clarification due to this thread (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-10/msg00882.html) and this one (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-10/msg00873.html). Subject is about "Installing VMWare WS ver 5.5.1 into OpenSUSE 10.3". Installation process finished without problem but launched "/usr/bin/vmware" produced an error : vmware: xcb_xlib.c:52: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed. Note : VMWare WS ver 5.5.1 worked very well under OpenSUSE 10.2. Run the following command : "export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=true" as mentioned in OpenSUSE WIKI (http://en.opensuse.org/Xlib.lock) didn't successfull. For those who have same problem, solution should be an easy way : 1. Upgrade your VMWare into ver 5.5.5. VMWare 5.5.1 serial valid for 5.5.5 2. Download vmware-any-any-update from http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/. I take vmware-any-any-update114.tar.gz 3. Installing your VMWare ver 5.5.5 4. Run your vmware-any-any-update (extract and invoke ./runme.pl) I've wrote a complete steps in my blog, http://www.vavai.net/index.php?/archives/18-Installing-VMWare-Ver-5.5-.X-on… Sorry for this link. I'm not a splogger ;-). Rui Santos has notified this solution in these thread before but another replies said that it can't be applied to OpenSUSE 10.3.

[opensuse] libmm.so.14 problems with php

Running OpenSUSE 10.3 64bit. Needed to use Qmail for a php based ticket system so uninstalled postfix using yast, then installed Qmail from scratch. Now command line php won't work. It keeps complaining about intranet02:~ # /usr/bin/php5 -q hello.php /usr/bin/php5: error while loading shared libraries: libmm.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory If I do a simlink of /usr/lib64/libmm.so.14 to /usr/lib then it complains /usr/bin/php5: error while loading shared libraries: libmm.so.14: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Anyone have any idea what's up with this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Seeking Minimal Window Decorations
by Randall R Schulz 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

Hi, I'm looking for a window decoration that is minimal w.r.t. wasted space (title bar and borders, basically). In 10.0 I'm fond of Glow. The action buttons that pulsate in a distinct color are a nice touch, but what I really like is how thin the borders and title bar are. Unfortunately, in 10.3 (and, if I recall, 10.2, as well), while the title bar is still compact, the smallest borders are several pixels wide and I find them both visually intrusive and wasteful. Does anyone know: a) Can I get those borders down to the single pixel width they have in the 10.0 version of this decoration? -or- b) Is there a window decoration that is as compact as the 10.0 version of Glow?
