[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

[opensuse] HowTo Install New 2.6.23.1-900.ccj58-default kernel and SAVE my present one too
by David C. Rankin 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Listmates, Jan: How can I install the new 2.6.23.1-900.ccj58-default kernel with Yast and tell Yast to leave my old kernel there, and Don't delete it this time? I know I can do it. On 10.0 I had 11 kernels and sources on the same box to the last working one if needed, etc.: drwxr-xr-x 3 72 2005-12-07 20:21 linux-2.6.13-15 drwxr-xr-x 3 72 2006-07-28 17:24 linux-2.6.13-15.10 drwxr-xr-x 3 72 2006-09-17 10:29 linux-2.6.13-15.11 drwxr-xr-x 3 72 2006-12-27 19:01 linux-2.6.13-15.12 drwxr-xr-x 3 72 2007-03-10 14:20 linux-2.6.13-15.13 drwxr-xr-x 3 72 2007-06-23 13:46 linux-2.6.13-15.15 drwxr-xr-x 3 72 2007-10-15 16:51 linux-2.6.13-15.16 drwxr-xr-x 19 752 2007-10-15 16:51 linux-2.6.13-15.18 drwxr-xr-x 3 72 2007-10-02 17:58 linux-2.6.13-15.18-obj drwxr-xr-x 3 72 2006-02-10 17:55 linux-2.6.13-15.7 drwxr-xr-x 3 72 2006-05-26 17:05 linux-2.6.13-15.8 But so far in 10.3 every time I install a new kernel and source, Yast or zypper or whatever the clever package, keeps removing the original kernel. How do I make it stop. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[opensuse] About kde4...
by Hudibras 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Hi, I've just downloaded and installed new kde4 release, but it doesn't work. I know it's still in development, but considering that it's beta4, I think it's stable enough to work properly. If not, what's the use of installing every package if it displays this message error at startup: "Cannot lookup symbol /usr/lib64/libkio.so.5" (or something like this). I've tried to change startkde init script, but I always get the same story. What's the use of making new and nrewer releases, if it cannot be tested and make it work? Is there any solution? Thanks in advance, AOP. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] yum repos and zypper update
by Tom Horsley 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

I'm wondering if anyone knows of an obvious reason "zypper update" would say there is nothing to do even when a newer version of a package has been added to a yum repo I have defined. Yes, I did a "zypper refresh" to force an update of the cache. And even more interesting, I can do a "zypper search whatever" and it shows me there is a newer "whatever" in the repo, it just doesn't think it needs to install it when I run an update. In a near identical repo constructed with similar new versions of "whatever"s a "yum update" on a fedora box happily downloads and installs the newer version. I'm sure there is something we don't understand about zypper and repo conventions, I just wish I knew what it was :-). Can anyone help? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 10.3 amd64 firefox/java
by Otto Rodusek (AP-SGP) 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Hi, Does anyone know if there is a solution to opensuse 10.3 on 64bit amd cpu with 64bit firefox and 64bit jre/java jre1.6.0_03. It seems that in the standard opensuse 10.3 64bit install it installs a 64bit version of firefox and java just doesn't seem to work in firefox. I've googled and found many others with similar problems and wondered if there has been a solution to 10.3 yet? Thanks and regards. Otto. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 64 bit vrs 32 bit advantages speed etc.
by Robert Lewis 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

I recently bought a 64 bit machine and have 10.3 loaded . It seems very fast. I am trying to appraise if the advantages of having some software not work because of driver issues is worth it. Has anyone run benchmarks on an identical system with 32 bit vrs 64 bit? Do we have a list of software that is known not to work on 64-bit? Any defined group tracking this and championing gettin the remainder fixed. I know this is a generalized question but I am just trying to appraise the gain vrs pain of deciding to stay with 64-bit ?

[opensuse] Is it possible to install 10.2 Kernel on SusE 10.3
by Keith Mayfield 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

There is some critical software, Apani VPN, that I need, but will not build on using the SusE 10.3 kernel. Apani software did build using 10.2 kernel. Apani will not have a solution for a while, so I was wondering if I could install the 10.2 kernel so that I can use the Apani software? What problems will I have installing 10.2 software?

[opensuse] For Which Repositories Is "Automatically Refresh" Unuseful?
by Randall R Schulz 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Hi, I was wondering if the main repositories: - Main Repository (OSS) - Main Repository (NON-OSS) are changing now that the final release has been made? If not, I'd turn of "Automatically Refresh" on these repositories to speed start-up of Software Management and other package management-related administrative programs. Are these (or any) repositories now unchanging? Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
