[opensuse] YaST Hardware graphics card & Monitor fails to start up
by Robert Lewis 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

I always do a fresh install and then from a backup bring my user stuff back. However, this time on my laptop, I decided to try the upgrade choice for the first time with 10.3. I like 10.3 and have no complaints except I lost my notes on how to fix a previous problem I had. Namely: YaST->Hardware->Graphics Card & Monitor process dies during the Importing Module phase. I remember solving this by removing some database file which gets rebuilt but my notes are failing to turn up what I did to fix this in a previous version of SUSE OS. Does anyone remember?

[opensuse] Virtualbox OSE on 10.3
by James Bland 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Has anyone else had problems installing VMs using Virtualbox OSE that cam with 10.3. I get the following error every time I start a VM. VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root. VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED). Result Code: 0x80004005 Component: Console Interface: IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45} I can not find the script that is mentioned in the error. I've installed and uninstalled the version that came with the DVD and on the 1-Click site (virtualbox and default-kmp). Any ideas?

[opensuse] Help with encrypted partitions/drives under 10.3
by sml＠lordsargon.com 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Hopefully the wisdom of list users will fix my problems.... Problem one: I installed 10.3 on my Acer Ferrari Saturday, after backing up /home to some external hard drives. Those hard drives are encrypted using YaST's partitioner (under 10.2, using loop-crypt) and via command line (losetup -e twofish256). When I try and mount them under 10.3 using the YaST partitioner, they are never mounted. I have tried mounting them manually from the command line, but they never mount. The twofish256 option doesn't work (ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument), so I tried twofish, but the drives still never mount. As it stands now, the entire backup of my e-mail and documents are sitting on some drives which are unreadable unless I revert to 10.2 on one of the other machines. Problem two: In the process of troubleshooting problem one, I decided to wipe out of the of the drives and encrypt it via the new method (LuKS). I set the options to not mount at startup and to be mountable by user, and mount by device name. I can't mount that drive either. It appears that every time I shut the laptop down the mapper device disappears, forcing me to re-create it each time. After doing this, the drive will mount, but I am never asked for the password. Has anyone run into these problems? How did you resolve them? Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] MD5SUM on GM
by Ciro Iriarte 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Hi, Just downloaded the x86_64 iso for 10.2 GM, the checksum matches the iso image but if i burn it and do a "md5sum /dev/sr0" i get a different checksum. Tried also the media test option within the installation and it returns "Aceptar" in a bad spanish (wrong word at least) but i assume it means it was OK. So, should i proceed anyway?

[opensuse] A GNOME update applet question
by Igor Jagec 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

How can I set up SUSE updater to check for updates for some period? Default settings is set to check for update every day, but the problem is that it checks for update after every reboot, which is very annoying. I tried both options, "every day" and "every other day", but the result is the same for both options. Is that a bug, or it's a feature? :) Cheers! -- Igor Jagec

Re: [opensuse] opensuse 10.2 cpu info wrong
by Vahe Avedissian 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Hi Andreas, Thank for your your insight. I did some tests on my machine and sure enough, under heavier loads it shows the CPU clock speeds as 2GHZ (as it should be). What I did not realize earlier was that cpuinfo is not a static file but is in fact updated by the system every 1 minute. Thanks again.

We power down the cpu when it's idle. Give it some more to do and it will increase again. The feature is called cpu frequency scaling, you can control it with the powersave command.

[opensuse] 10.3 64 bit and 32 bit systems side by side. How to set grub during second system install?
by haz zah 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Hi, I would like to install a 32 bit system and a 64 bit system side by side. The 32 bit is the only system currently on the machine and took the default installation on grub - this is sitting on one hard disk. I would like to install a 64 bit system - on a separate disk. I did try this and forgot to change the grub default settings on the new install. This kills grub completely. The machine will not load grub at all and hence will not boot. What boot loader grub settings should I set during the second system install so that a) I do not kill grub, and b) I do not kill the booting of the current installation?
