[opensuse] bonding again - performance issues
by JJB 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Hello, I set up bonding on our SUSE machines as described in a thread from a few weeks ago. Instead of boosting network performance, the effect was to degrade network performance significantly.. The setting was the "rr" round robin setting. Can someone suggest an alternate approach? The servers in question are a CVS server and an apache web server. The performance when pulling the cvs tree was far lower with bonding enabled than when using a single network card. In addition, some network applications would not work at all with bonding enabled (specifically Orcad License Server That may be related to the fact that the License server is licensed to the MAC address of one of the network cards.) This is on 64 bit OpenSUSE 10.2 and 64 bit SLES 10.2. Thanks, Joel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] VMWare and 10.3 as a client OS
by Roger Oberholtzer 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

I am running the latest 5.5.x vmware on OpenUSUE 10.0. I want to install OpenSUSE 10.3 as a client. Every time I try, the 10.3 install takes me to a character screen where I can set up partitions and all. Obviously there is something missing in the vmware environment. I choose a Linux/SUSE type client OS when setting up for the install. I am installing from a DVD ISO image file mounted on 10.0. Anyone installed 10.3 this way? I need to do some tests in preparation for implementing 10.3. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

[opensuse] SMC WiFi LAN Adapter
by Jim Flanagan 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Greetings, Anyone know how to get an SMC 2862W-G USB wifi adapter working in Opensuse 10.3? In yast>network devices it shows up as EZ Connect G device (the name of the thing), but I can't get it to connect to my router with WPA-PSK. I enter the ssid, and my passphrase, but it won't connect. I don't know if this is a hardware setup problem or an encryption issue. The device is known to work on other OS's.

[opensuse] Help with Java installation on SuSE 10.3
by Maura Edelweiss Monville 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

I'm trying to install the GUI for R on SuSE 10.3. The package and instructions are from: http://rosuda.org/JGR/down.shtml Since I need the latest Java package I clicked on Linux Tips page There are no specific instructions for SuSe 10.3 so i kind of followed the instructions listed for SuSE 10.2 I clicked on SuSE Java page >From here I tried to install Java from Yast but I got lost when I had to select a directory pathname. I browsed through the directory pub/opensuse/distribution on different mirror sites and was unable to find Java. I got lost in the maze of links that brought me nowhere. Can you please sow me the right way ? Thank you in advance.

[opensuse] Questions about lirc on opensuse 10.3/kde
by Pierson Holcombe 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Hi, Yesterday I installed opensuse 10.3 w/KDE. I am loving it. I do have some areas that I don't have configured correctly, and and hoping for some direction. Today I am concentrating on the issue of lirc. I have a Phillips ehome remote, branded as the Media Center Edition (mce_usb2). I have spent some time looking at the lirc webpage and various other places, but I'm stumped. Basically, my remote doesn't work. I can point it at the receiver and an led will light up in response, but it won't work otherwise. (I've tried to get it to open kdetv, but it doesn't work) I've gathered as much information as I could find, but I won't be surprised if it's not enough. During the initial setup and configuration, I went into the expert settings of my video capture card. After finishing that page, it asked if I wanted to use my sound card for the video output, took me to a page for that, and then took me to a page that asked if I wanted to enable IR, which I answered yes. It asked if I wanted to install lirc, and I said yes, and then it when through its process without any interaction from me. When that finished, a button was visible that said 'test.' I clicked on that button, and a small window opened with a message that said to test the remote. I pressed all of the buttons on the remote, but nothing appeared in the window. No opportunity was given to make any configuration changes, except, on the page that was visible behind the test window, there was a drop-down box with two choices, something like ir-kbd (default) and ir-gpio (only other choice). I switched to ir-gpio and pressed the test button again, but I got a message that lirc couldn't be started. Details said that lirc hadn't been configured for gpio.

Hi, I'm running OpenSuse 10.3 64bit on AMD 64x2. I was examining my /var/log/messages log file and noticed a LOT (like one ever few seconds!!!) of messages of the following: Nov 12 20:23:54 orm7700a acpid: received event "processor CPU0 00000080 00000000" Nov 12 20:23:54 orm7700a acpid: notifying client 3002[101:102] Nov 12 20:23:54 orm7700a acpid: notifying client 3046[0:0] Nov 12 20:23:54 orm7700a acpid: notifying client 4015[0:0] Nov 12 20:23:54 orm7700a acpid: completed event "processor CPU0 00000080 00000000" Can anyone shed some light on what this event is and how to stop it from logging?? Thanks for any feedback. Best regards. Otto Rodusek -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello All The subject says it all. I have finally after much tinkering, googling got Compiz (compiz-fusion) running under OSS 10.3 64 bit. However, now the screen saver no longer runs automatically as it is supposed to after 4 mins of inactivity. What do I need to set?, fix?. I am running Emerald Theme Manager, Emerald window manager.

[opensuse] start-up with blank & white screen prompt for login
by williamkow 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Whenever I turn-on my computer, my newly installed OpenSuSE 10.3 is prompting me to login (black and white screen) instead of the green coloured KDE login screen. The only way I can do is to login with root account and then key-in the command "kdm", then the system will show me the KDE login screen. Then I can use the system after this login. Please advise me. thank you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Re: virtual box or vmware with vista partition

With vmware, you could have a chance. I tried recently with XP running inside Linux on VMware Server from the physical partition that it is originally installed on. This works great and the response times are way quicker than using XP from virtaul disks. Backside: Not having a corporate licenses I needed to reactivate XP for this, since the virtual hardware differs substantially from the physical hardware that XP sees, when you boot with it. I could not try with Vista and also I did not find anything about Vista in that regard. For a start, I used an article from Linux Mag (www.linux-mag.com) and googled my way. kind regards and please report back how it works and what you did to make it work.
