The opensuse-updater(which binary depends on window manager) has two modes of operation. One(1) is the utilization of the rpm package manager library. Two(2) is the utilization of the zmd daemon. You can check your system for a running zmd daemon to determine which mode of operation is being utilized. This should help to narrow down the root cause. Whether it is within the binary, daemon, or library is beyond me. I am sure there are far more seasoned opensuse minds within this list that may provide guidance. Possibly it could even be a misconfigration within the update repository. Please cc me as you navigate the issue. I would like to know for sure myself. ;) Cheers.

[opensuse] Yast Questions
by Dennis J. Tuchler 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

1) In previous incarnations of SuSE, there was a feature in Yast that would let one make a set of emergency boot-up floppy disks. I can't find that utility in this (10.3) version. Is there such a utility? Where? 2) If I wanted to add or change the repository to which to send Yast to download and install, say, a new KDE system, I could find the utility in Yast. Things have changed. Where do I enter the url now? -- Best regards, Dennis J.

I am looking for some bash scripts: 1. I want to list all text files of one directory with a blank line in between. Currently I just use grep "" * 2.

[opensuse] Seamonkey and fire fox suddenly disapear/end connecting to web sites.
by Boyd Lynn Gerber 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Hello, I have been trying to figure out why on a lot of sites, I have problems. Many sites not problems at all. I suspect some muplimedia or something causing it. I do not have any problems with 10.2 only with 10.3. For example this site closes seamonkey every time. http://www.pcworld.com/go/dell1236854_0807.htm Any ideas? Thanks in advance. BTW not logs are being generated.

[opensuse] OpenOfficd.org Spreadsheet Problem
by Dennis J. Tuchler 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

I have a small OO.org spreadsheet that has trouble staying open under the SuSE-supplied OpenOffice.org build 2.3.0.1.2. It was created using a non-SuSE OO.org 2.0.3 under SuSE 10.2. Whenever I scroll down a column to find something, I get a notice that the sheet needs to be rebuilt. It gets rebuilt and then I try it again ,,, and then the same notice comes up. Is there anything I should look for to fix or do I just give it up? -- Best regards, Dennis J.

[opensuse] Installing an ISA ethernet card in 10.3
by Roger Hayter 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

If anyone can refer me to info about this problem I shall apologise and look it up but I can't find anything in the archives or by Google. I am trying to install a non-PnP NE2000 clone in my opensuse 10.3 setup which I plan to use as a gateway/router for my home network. YaST2 occasionally seems to add the card (and by the way the 'Choose from a list" button referred to in the help info seems not to exist in the latest version) but the configuration I use gets applied to one of my other cards, and rarely persists past a second boot (the module, "ne" in this case, no longer gets loaded). I have tried to put the module in /etc/sysconfig/kernel, and the parameters in /etc/modprobe.conf, after much research. And written an "ifcfg-ethx" for my new card. This sort of works, though most of the parameters in the ifcfg-ethx file get rejected at boot, presumably because they are being parsed by the wrong programme. If anyone can tell me where else I need to put information about my card for it be properly integrated into the system, this would be very helpful. Another problem is that when the module is installed it does not seem to deliver a name for the device which then can then be displayed (like D-Link DE-220T) - I don't know whether this is relevant to yast not finding the card even when I load it on boot.

[opensuse] OS 10.3 Problem with digital camera Canon Powershot A550 reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8
by Franz Petri 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

Hi, I have the following problem with a Canon Powershot A550 digital camera: When plugging it into an arbitrary free usb-port it is recognized by KDE right away, but it takes ages (about 20-30 seconds) until it is accessible via konqueror. When copying images from the camera to a folder on the local hard disk the overall transfer rate is really slow (the image is copied ok, but after each image the progress "hangs" for several seconds). All this is acompanied by the folling dmesg-messages: usb 1-1.1.2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8 usb 1-1.1.2: new device found, idVendor=04a9, idProduct=3150 usb 1-1.1.2: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-1.1.2: Product: Canon Digital Camera usb 1-1.1.2: Manufacturer: Canon Inc. usb 1-1.1.2: SerialNumber: 1E0C3F55EADF4F628CC92B882CE79D34 usb 1-1.1.2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb 1-1.1.2: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8 usb 1-1.1.2: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8 usb 1-1.1.2: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8 usb 1-1.1.2: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8 usb 1-1.1.2: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8 usb 1-1.1.2: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8 usb 1-1.1.2: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8 usb 1-1.1.2: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8 usb 1-1.1.2: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8 I have an Fujitsu Amilo M 7400 notebook with opensuse 10.3 with all the latest updates installed.

[opensuse] openSuSE 10.3 sata_sis hard disk not found
by Dominik Zalewski 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

Dear All, I'm having problem with installing latest 10.3 on motherborad with SiS 5513 chipset. Installator doesn't see my hard disk. This bug is already on the bugzilla with kernel patch attached. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331610 I was wondering is there is a way to apply this patch and build DVD iso, so installator can see my hard disk? I know SiS sucks but I have a couple of workstation using it and I want to upgrade them to 10.3 :) Any ideas are welcome :) Thanks in advance, Dominik -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
