-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, In Spain domain names with international characters ('á', 'à', 'é', 'è', 'í', 'ì', 'ó', 'ò', 'ú', 'ü', 'ñ', 'Ç' y 'l·l') have been enabled since yesterday (<http://www.elmundo.es/navegante/2007/10/01/tecnologia/1191262954.html>) There is a sample web in Chile: <http://www.ñandú.cl/>, and it works fine in Firefox in OpenSuse 10.2. However, it doesn't work for commands like "host", "dig" or "ping": In an xterm using UTF-8: cer@nimrodel:~> host www.ñandú.cl Host www.\195\177and\195\186.cl not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) In an xterm using en_US.ISO-8859-1: cer@nimrodel:~> host www.ñandú.cl Host www.\241and\250.cl not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) Is 'host' buggy? I haven't tried suse 10.3 yet. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFHA2gEtTMYHG2NR9URAnjhAJ95G3qkojYDlVWPqABCtOgdGi8MxQCfWjgE 7hTmUOAi1sRJkE1fenD3KSk= =0LGu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[opensuse] Network install of openSUSE 10.3 as a Xen VM Guest in openSUSE 10.2
by Razi Khaja 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

I am running opensuse 10.2. I would like to install 10.3 as a Xen VM Guest. I have mounted my openSUSE-10.3-GM-DVD-i386.iso image file to /home/username/public_html/dvd (where username is my real username) I can browse to the url http://localhost/~username/dvd and view the contents of the dvd Next I attempt to add a VM guest by running Yast Virtual Machine Management and specify http://localhost/~username/dvd as my network installation source (Custom Installation Source (http://localhost/~username/dvd) When I get to the dialog box "Preparing Installation of the Virtual Machine", it gives me an error: "Failed to extract the kernel from the installation source. Please check that your installation source is accessible." I am confident that the installation source is accessible since I was able to browse to http://localhost/~username/dvd with firefox. Any idea what Im doing wrong? or if I am missing something? Is there a publicly accessible URL I could use to do a network install?

[opensuse] NetworkManager and br0
by Hans van der Merwe 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

openSUSE 10.2 Is there is way to have NetworkManger to use br0 as its "Wired" device? I have VirtualBox installed that uses br0 to bridge network the client OS to the network. Unfortunately NetworkManager still sees eth0 as the wired device.

[opensuse] Problem with printing.
by Erik Jakobsen 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi. OS: opensuse 10.3 GM I have a HP Deskjet 895Cxi, that I cannot set up to print other than garbish. On the opensuse versions before 10.3 it was at all no problem. I also have a Laserprinter Brother HL5040. Both printers are connected to a HP Jetdirect printerserver (parallel) The HL5040 prints just fine. I have tried to used another HP Deskjet driver, but had no luck. Anything changed to the printerdrivers since former versions of opensuse ? What can I do ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I have exactly the same problem. Mounting as root works. Mounting as user gives back the same error message you wrote. >From a openSUSE 10.2 client mounting as user is no problem, with the same fstab entry. So I'm also searching for a solution for this problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 2.6.22.3-ccj53-default module help?
by David C. Rankin 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Jan, Mathieu, list: I am having trouble inserting the omnibook (HP omnibook/Toshiba Satellite) kernel module in opensuse 10.2 on my Toshiba P35 laptop. This is the latest svn snapshot of omnibook trunk. modprobe reports a FATAL Error regarding the module format: [root Rankin-P35a:/lib/modules/2.6.22.3-ccj53-default/extra] # modprobe -v omnibook insmod /lib/modules/2.6.22.3-ccj53-default/extra/omnibook.ko FATAL: Error inserting omnibook (/lib/modules/2.6.22.3-ccj53-default/extra/omnibook.ko): Invalid module format dmesg the module disagrees about the version of symbol struct_module: omnibook: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module I'm not trying to be disagreeable with the module, so why in the heck is it being disagreeable with me? Actually, I think I've been quite accommodating to the little guy. Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[opensuse] local patch server for OpenSuse
by Michael Folsom 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Was looking at how to setup a YUM server to patch a collection of OpenSuse systems. Looks like I need to set up a file structure with both the base distrbutions plus the updates on a web server. To deal with building the file structure it seems that you need a utility called createrpo - is there a version for Suse? Also a How-to would be helpful for opensuse if it already exists - Thanks!

[opensuse] Intel 945 video and dual monitors on 10.3
by James Bland 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Has anyone had any success getting the Intel 945GM chipset and xinerama to work? I have a Dell D620. In 10.2 I was able to get it to work by just setting the external monitor up as VESA 1024x768 ins SAX2. I tried several things, even patching the vbios to no effect.
