[opensuse] Strange Firefox Problem
by Jim Sabatke 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Starting today, I've been getting popups in Firefox that say" # begin quote Authentication Required Enter username and password for "CCCP Operations" at http://graphics.pop6.com User Name: [ entry box ] Password: [ entry box ] []Use Password Manager to remember this password. [Cancel] [OK] # end quote Sometimes I have to hit [Cancel] a dozen or more times until it stops popping up. It doesn't seem to be happening in Opera or Konqueror. I googled for it,but haven't found anything. Is it possible I have a corrupted file or even some sort of virus?

[opensuse] New article: Installation on MacMini (ppc)
by Lukas Ocilka 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi, I've just finished a new article about installing openSUSE 10.3 on Mac mini (ppc). http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_on_MacMini_%28ppc%29 Although there were some almost-blocker issues with bootloader, it was quite easy to workaround them (bug #343670). Well done, openSUSE team! Everything else "just works"!

[opensuse] xen-pae-migration
by Hans Witvliet 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

hi all, Just wondering wether somebody else encouterer this behaviour: * 1) on several 32-bit pae dom-0 systems i can start and migrate 32-bit-dom-u systems to other 32-bit pae dom-0 systems, (good as expected) 2) on several 64-bit dom-0 systems i can start and migrate 64-bit dom-u systems to other 64-bit dom-0 systems. (good as expected) 3) on several 64-bit dom-0 systems i can start 32-bit pae-systems, but as soon as i try to migrate them, the xend-daemon gets itself in an infinite loop, Killing the daemin is not enough, system has to be rebooted. On the receiving machine "something" arives, shown by xm list but is not viable. On the original dom-0 the machine is left in migrating-name-of-dom-u All ofcourse with suse-10.3 (xen-3.1) Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Recommendations for a new graphics card
by Bryen 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

I'm looking to get a new graphics card to support my new 24" LCD monitor. I don't want to spend alot of money and I'm not looking for fancy latest and greatest whiz-bangs. What cards have you seen out there/used that are reasonably low-priced, support 1920x1200 resolution, and can do the 3D stuff? I'm leaning towards nvidia as the brand name, but now I'm interested in which models are best. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OT - Linux and open source in use in public administration?
by Per Jessen 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

A friend of mine in the UK is looking for examples of Linux and/or open source being used in public administration. I've named quite a few of the German examples, but if anyone's got a list or useful resources, I'd much appreciate it. From anywhere. It appears that local government in his part of the world is only interested in negotiating with <youknowwho>, and the local Linux User Group is trying to suggest anopther angle :-) /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I tried logging in as root, but that didn't solve the problem. I have found some resmgr errors in the /var/log/messages file.

[opensuse] XEN: Autostart Windows 2003
by Roland Carlsson 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi! I have a OpenSuse 10.2 server with XEN-kernel in which I have two Windows 2003-servers. The problem I have is that they doesn't autostart after reboot. What do I have to do to correct this? I also can't run the server without being logged in into the OpenSuse-server. When I logout the Windows-sessions is destroyed. I'm currently using the following configuration: disk = [ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/vm1/hda,ioemu:hda,w', 'phy:/dev/hda,hdc:cdrom,r' ] memory = 1024 vcpus = 2 builder = 'hvm' device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm' kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader' name = 'aqmmoving' vif = [ 'type=ioemu,mac=00:16:3e:09:a0:c7' ] stdvga = 0 sdl = 1 vnc = 0 vncviewer = 0 ne2000 = 0 localtime = 0 on_poweroff = 'destroy' on_reboot = 'restart' on_crash = 'restart' boot = 'c' Thanks in advance Roland Carlsson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 10.3, Why is my CD ROM not showing?
by Constant Brouerius van nidek 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Have changed now completely to 10.3 and was happy until I wanted to burn an copy of the Opensuse 10.3 life for a friend. K3B told me that there seems to be no carom drive installed. Looking further into the problem I also found that an inserted CD or DVD did not show up with the well known question what to do with the inserted medium. Looking into the hardware list of Yast I did not find any trace of a CD/DVD ROM. I know I have used the DVD to install 10.3 and I know that everything worked fine as I was burning my first copy of the life CD some week ago. Where did the CD vanished to? Could be that this phenomena was already discussed and I may have missed it. A google did not show up my problem but masses of USB problems etc.. Could somebody see me through my search for my CD ROM drive? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
