[opensuse] opensuse 10.3 smart pkg conflict
by Jeff Weber 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

I have a package confict when attempting to update opensuse 10.3 from the smart package manager: file /usr/lib/libmtp.so.6 from install of libmtp7-0.2.3-0.pm.1 conflicts with file from package libmtp-0.2.1-10 file /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/10-usb-music-players-libmtp.fdi from install of libmtp7-0.2.3-0.pm.1 conflicts with file from package libmtp-0.2.1-10 My smart channels are: opensuse-10.3-ftp opensuse-10.3-ftp-nonoss opensuse-10.3 updates packman 3rd party package repository rpm system I saw a recent similar opensuse problem report yesterday, which was fixed by Marcus Meissner. So I updated my channels in hopes of capturing the fix, but to no avail. Please let me know how to resolve this conflict, and whether I should be making changes to my active channels. thanks, Jeff -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Trying to open a .wmv file in Kaffeine, it says no plug-in available.

[opensuse] Hard disk partition not detected on boot
by Ralf Müller 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

The day before I updated my home data graveyard from 10.1 to 10.3. This system had 10 disks before and 12 now. After update everything seemed reasonably ok except one strange problem: SATA disk sdg - which has been in the system for about 2 years now - is properly detected but the single primary partition on it is not linked to /dev/sdg1. The device file is simply missing. There are no strange messages in /var/log/boot.msg or /var/log/messages. There are 5 other identical disks working well. Smart state is ok. I can start fdisk /dev/sdg and all seems to be ok: ========== DatenGrab:~ # fdisk /dev/sdg The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 38913. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sdg: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000ac812 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdg1 1 38913 312568641 fd Linux raid autodetect ========== I can use kpartx to actively bind the partition via device-mapper - after that it is accessible and working well. I tried "partprobe /dev/sdg" to enable this partition - this had been not working until I hotplugged the SATA cable. Has anyone an idea where to look for this problem? Which tools to use to track it down? Regards Ralf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] no way to install from remote iso?
by Bernd Melchers 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Is there any way to install from a remote (ftp or better: nfs) dvd-iso (e.g. nfs://nfshost.bla.bla/path/to/openSUSE-10.3-GM-DVD-x86_64.iso) image after booting with the mini-iso (e.g. openSUSE-10.3-GM-x86_64-mini.iso)? I tried it, but if i give nfs://nfshost.bla.bla/path/to/ as the installation path, the error message is something like "no installation source found" and if i give "nfs://nfshost.bla.bla/path/to/openSUSE-10.3-GM-DVD-x86_64.iso" as the installation path, the error message is something like "cannot mount installation source". Ok, i know that nfs must export a directory, not an individual (iso)-file, but i had expected a bit more logic in the installer. Another problem is, if i want to install from ftp- or nfs-Source, i have to wait for the dhcp-timeout, because it seems not to be possible to circumvent dhcp. How to tell the installer to not use dhcp at all? mit freundlichen Grüßen Bernd Melchers -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] smart howto handle dependencies?
by Teruel de Campo MD 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

ref: opensuse 10.3 smart: 0.51 Q: if you have many packages to upgrade but few are dependent of a library that is not available for example, how can you install upgrades that are OK and leave the ones that are not?. I have been doing it one by one but that is not good. What I am missing. example: I have many upgrades and I get the following error. <<<<<<<<<< file /usr/lib64/libmtp.so.6 from install of libmtp7-0.2.3-0.pm.1 conflicts with file from package libmtp-0.2.1-10 file /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/10-usb-music-players-libmtp.fdi from install of libmtp7-0.2.3-0.pm.1 conflicts with file from package libmtp-0.2.1-10 >>>>>>>>>> How can I skip this error and continue upgrading the rest of the packages?

[opensuse] Compiz - vista like Right Side Panel
by David C. Rankin J.D. P.E. 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Guys (and girls) I have seen screenshots of compiz with a vista like right side panel holding the clock, calendar, system stats, etc. that I would love to add. The problem is that (1) I don't know what it is called or (2) where to look to get it. I have looked at kasbar, ksim and universal sidebar under KDE, but those are not what I've seen. Anyone else have any other ideas? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Hi All! Is there any ejabberd repo for opensuse 10.3 ? Or where can I get ejabberd related packages for 10.3 ? I found packages only for 10.2 :( Thanks -- If you think of MS-DOS as mono, and Windows as stereo, then Linux is Dolby Digital and all the music is free... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] language at boot
by Jason Craig 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

I recently upgraded to 10.3, and now at the boot screen where I select normal or failsafe (is this grub?) under F2 for language it says English (UK). No other language is in the menu. When I finish booting, the language settings say only English (US) is installed. This is a bug I assume, or does someone know something I don't? thanks, Jason -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenSuse10.3 will not boot into KDM with ATi graphics card
by Jim Flanagan 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Hi all, I've done several test installs of opensuse 10.3, but none will boot into KDM. I formatted over my old 9.3 install in did an clean install there, with /home there as well. I always try a test install before I move to the new version. I've tried 2 different video cards but neither works so far, of is an ATI 9200 AGP, the other is an ATI 9500 AGP. In all cases I get to the command line showing that runlevel 5 has been reached, but no desktop. I have not tried Gnome, but I don't think that matters. To summarize what I did... With ATI 9200 card 1. Format with ext3, install, did online update, select 3D at the end of the install config, runlevel 5 shows to be reached, but no desktop. 2. Re-format with reiser, install, did not do online update, do not select 3D, no desktop. 3. Re-format with ext 3, install, did not do online, update, do not select 3D, no desktop. With Ai 9500 card 1. Re-format with ext3, install, do not select 3D, no desktop. I can VNC into port 5901 in all cases, but local graphics won't work. In all cases running sax2 returns an error citing to check the log, but sadly, I don't know what I'm looking for in there. FYI the 9200 ran better in opensuse10.2 in 3D. The 9500 ran very slowly in 10.2 and only in 2D, but I was hoping 10.3 would get me working in 3D with the 9500, but so far I'm moving backwards, not forwards. I'd really like to get this graphics stuff sorted out. All installs were done on the same machine, Abit nf7 mobo, Athlon 2500, 1.5gb ram, both pata and sata drives seem to work fine. I'd really appreciate any help with this. Many thanks, Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
