[opensuse] mysql starts with --skip-grant-tables
by Adam Fisher 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

I did a fresh install of 10.2 and now when I start mysql (rcmysql start). It starts with --skip-grant-tables and the mysql.sock is loaded in /var/run/mysql/.protected folder. I have apparmor turned off and don't see how it is installed in chroot. In my.cnf it is not listed as well. Any ideas?

[opensuse] YaST online update design question
by Robert Lewis 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

I am running 10.2 and about to convert to 10.3. I have always wondered why rpms are downloaded and then installed. And then the next one downloaded .... Instead of downloading the next RPM to be installed while the previous one is being installed with a potential delay if the second download beats the installation of the previous RPM. Wouldn't that speed up updates a lot ? Just curious! Bob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] dvbscan not working gives following error "Unable to query frontend status"
by Harri Miettinen 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Hi, Since I installed openSUSE 10.3 (32bit) I have had problem with dvbscan. When I try to scan channels and make channels.conf file it gives me error message "Unable to query frontend status" I have found few hits from google but there is no solution yet. Here is the output: harmie@pluto:~> dvbscan /home/harmie/.kde/share/apps/kaffeine/dvb-c/fi-HTV Unable to query frontend status Kaffeine works without problems I can scan channels and watch TV with it. This worked in openSUSE 10.2 without problems.

[opensuse] HTML Email
by Kai Ponte 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Is there any client in Linux that can send (forward) html emails without breaking them? I have searched and found KMail doesn't. I've read that thunderbird only sends as attachments. Ideas? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] compiz-fusion help
by Bob S 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Hello SuSE experimentors, Trying out compiz-fusion on 10.3 using the nvidia drivers but doesn't seem to be working right. I don't get a cube. The screen rotates when I click on another desktop which brings up the application that is open on that desktop so something is working. I also don't get my four enabled desktops, only #1 and #3 and they both have the same desktop picture. Also sometimes when I open up a new app I don't get any window decorations (max, min, close) and I have to run emerald again. Hope somebody has ideas/advice. I'd like to try it out but not much good the way it is. Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Xorg 7.3 w/ATI Driver Broke Compiz
by David C. Rankin 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Listmates, I should have stayed with xorg 7.2, but I just had to load 7.3. I'll learn one of these days. The problem. compiz was working in 7.2 with the 8.42 ati driver. Now compiz will not load with fusion-icon anymore and a compiz --replace & gives the black screen on death. After installing 7.3 I went ahead and rebuilt and reinstalled the 8.42 driver. fglrx loads fine and gives the same good (for my laptop) frame rates with glxgears and fgl_glxgears: 14:07 rankin-p35a~> glxgears 13088 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2617.559 FPS 13216 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2642.825 FPS 14:08 rankin-p35a~> fgl_glxgears Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer 2758 frames in 5.0 seconds = 551.600 FPS 2827 frames in 5.0 seconds = 565.400 FPS 14:08 rankin-p35a~> fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series OpenGL version string: 2.0.6958 Release I have configured the libraries the same as required to use compiz with 7.2: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2007-11-06 20:33 /usr/lib/libGL.so -> libGL.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2007-11-08 00:10 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2007-11-08 10:10 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 391344 2007-09-21 20:34 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.sav -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 440676 2007-09-21 20:34 /usr/lib/libIndirectGL.so.1.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2007-11-06 20:33 /usr/lib/libIndirectGL.so.1.sav -> libIndirectGL.so.1.2 fusion-icon will start, but if I select compiz as the WM, compiz never loads. As mentioned above, a manual attempt to start compiz from the console results in a hardlock. Any thoughts on what I can check? Also, if I can't get 7.3 to work, can I just uninstall 7.3 and reinstall 7.2 vi yast? Is there an easier way? Thanks for any help you can give me. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[opensuse] ATI/Compiz - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
by David C. Rankin 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Continuing in my saga to get compiz started under xorg7.3, I have stumbled across another error and possible piece of the puzzle. While trying to start compiz with the command line it ran under for xorg 7.2: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering --no-libgl-fallback compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0 compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0 After executing the command, screen blanks just as it did in 7.2, but all that happens is all window decorations disappear and keyboard input is disabled. The mouse still works. Starting fusion-icon, and waiting 120 secs, I can then select kwin from fusion-icon. Anybody got any suggestions? Anybody else have compiz running with Xorg 7.3 and ATI? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[opensuse] Problems after today updates
by Ralph Martin 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

How are you doing all? I was working good on my openSuse 10.3 but them I get the updates meanwhile I was also creating a new account to set up KDE 4 beta3, so I don't know if it was because of the user name I chose "kde" or because the updates didn't took place correctly. after the updates finished I was about to switch user name, but I turned off the computer instead, when it was loading I noticed that it was slower than before, even the splash of compiz fusion took quit time to disappear. So what exactly is happening the updates or the kde user name I had created? Thanks to all, BTW I want KDE to give it a try to TOra, and application that I want to use with oracle 10g XE and because I just want to try KDE I chose the same name as user name for that account since it is recommended that way. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Can't set resolution after NVIDIA graphics card installation.
by Ed McCanless 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Just installed FX 5500 AGP , system Suse 10.1, and resolution was changed to 800 x 600. This happens because I have an old KDS monitor which has to be set manually to the same config. as KDS - xf-70. This time when I reset the resolution using Yast, the settings were displayed as being changed, but did not take effect when re-booted. Is this a known problem? I really need to get more on my screen. -ED- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
