I got it to work by changing rt61pci.ko to rt61pci.ko.old in /lib/modules/2.6.22.5-31-default/updates. I had already set the card up under Yast2. I am not sure why rt61pci fails but rt61 (CVS) version works.

[opensuse] Snort is NOT in 10.3
by Takeshi 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

Hi there, Snort is not included in none of 10.3 repositories. But Snort was there in oss repository at 10.2 and before. I can still search from here it in the Factory repository, but not in 10.3 http://software.opensuse.org/search It must be forgotten by accident!?

by Fred A. Miller 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

NO complaints from me - not yet anyway!! This is the FIRST 64-bit release that has worked well, with NO yet known problems! And, there's a performance gain over 10.2 32-bit. Even the 64-bit nVidia driver provides improved performace......I have an Athalon dual core beast with 1G RAM, 250GB SATA2 Seagate, etc. GREAT job boys and girls of the openSUSE team!!!!!!!

I felt guilty before because another poster told me that I ought to know about linux permissions. In fact I did but needed help with them as a beginner. That's why I thought I was wasting list members time. It seemed to be a list just for experts. I take your point about microsoft and the way they made me feel when I stopped paying for their support and using their products. They send reminders. What is not clear for me and microsoft users in general is the issue of me using opensuse as against the Novell equivalent in a commercial environment. Your post encourages me in that I have the freedom to use opensuse as and how I wish. Commercially, as a hobby or just for playing games. is that what you are really saying? Anyway, thanks again and thanks to everyone accepting a total beginner in their list. I'm now going to ask another impossible question in another thread. Here's a preview: Where is /srv/www/htdocs in xp? Un saludo, Lynn. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Switch User -> Start New Session starts with 640x480 dimensions in 10.3
by Christoph Bartoschek 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

Hi, I have installed opensuse 10.3 and are quite confident with it. However If I start a second sesssion via StartMenu -> Switch User -> Start New Session, the new session is always only 640x480 pixels big. Not the 1280x1024 of the first session and of the display. How to fix this? Christoph -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Rt61 module issues under 10.3
by kbboykin＠comcast.net 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

Hello, I had challenges with my RT61 based PCI card working with 10.3 out of the box. The card was seen but despite any setup, my wireless didn't work. So I found a site where it showed how to remove the rt61pci module that ships with 10.3 and install the CVS version from the Ralink Website. With a simple issue of rcnetwork restart, it worked instantly. However when I rebooted, all was lost. I found that rt61pci was still being loaded, despite modprobe -r rt1pci and modprobe rt61. I put alias wlan0 rt61 in /etc/modprobe.conf.local but it still did the same. So now, if I have to reboot (Dual Boot machine), I have to do this sequence to get the wireless back: 1. modprobe -r rt61 2. modprobe -r rt61pci 3. modprobe rt61 If I do this it works. Where is and can I remove the rt61pci module or disable it so only the rt61 gets loaded.

[opensuse] What does "No repository found" really mean?
by Paul Hands 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

Hi all, I'm trying to install 10.3 on a few different machines. This laptop (Thinkpad T60, i386) went just about perfect, except for ATI 3D setup, which refuses to work. However on 2 different AMD64 machines, the installer runs up to a point and then just comes back with "No repository found". I'm using the X86_64 DVD, and just in case, I tried it on a 32 bit machine, and got the correct warning about it being a 64bit DVD and not running on 32 bit machines. One of the 64bit boxes is SATA only, the other is a mix of SATA and PATA. I've seen some newsnet traffic about SATA drivers, but 10.2 works just fine on both machines. Both show the same problem. Can anyone clarify what that message really means? Any suggestions to fix it?

[opensuse] 10.3 Java Issues, More Info
by Adam Sailer 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

Ok, it looks like significant changes implemented in Gnome 2.20 GTK+ have broken LookAndFeel support in Java. I can run Netbeans, the JDK demo apps, and my apps (Swing GUIs) as long as I use the default Java laf. When I try to use the GTK+ laf, or a third-party laf from a jar, is when crashes happen. Limewire crashes since it uses a custom laf. Oddly enough, the output of: System.out.println("UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); returns: "com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel" when run as a user, "javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel" when run as root. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Adam, as per Benji are you using Sun's java from 10.3? Upstream I see one possible issue: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479929 This implies 'export GTK_MODULES=' may work around the issue, does that solve it for you? -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr(a)novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org I added this line to my .bashrc file, and it works if I launch from the gnome-terminal. However, if I launch an app by clicking on the executable jar file, no-go. Also, I created a copy of the netbeans launcher and added the laf switch; Command: "/opt/netbeans-5-5.1/bin/netbeans" --laf com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel This worked in 10.2, not in 10.3 How do I make this 'export GTK_MODULES=' and the sloppy lock one, global and for all users? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
