[opensuse] Problem with zypper
by Jan Tiggy 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a problem with zypper. It doesn't refresh local repositories here. rpm -qa |grep zypper zypper-0.8.25-0.1 rpm -qa |grep createrepo createrepo-0.4.10-14 - - adding webpin-0.8-1.guru.suse103.i586.rpm to /srv/diverse - - evoking creterepo /srv/diverse - - evoking as root zypper ref: getting: zypper ref ... Repository 'diverse' ist aktuell. (is up to date) .... Alle Repositories wurden aktualisiert. After that still no luck with packet manager finding webpin-0.8-1.guru.suse103.i586.rpm But when I repeat this procedure couple of times then zypper finally recognizes the new repodata. Have you experienced similar while using zypper? - -- Cheers Jan cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 10.3 (i586) VERSION = 10.3 uname -r 2.6.22.12-0.1-default zypper -v rl h_ttp://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3 h_ttp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.3 ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/10.3 ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/suse ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/10.3/repo/non-oss/suse ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/openSUSE_10.3 ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/STABLE/openSUSE_10.3 ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/KDE:/Backports/openSUSE_10.3 ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_10.3 ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_10.3 ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/GNOME:/STABLE/openSUSE_10.3 ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/GNOME:/Community/openSUSE_10.3 ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_10.3 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHToMfSXKkixf2bBcRAgXeAJ4rutoxMzgKw/WMqyYNpIN+TEiPFQCgsdV+ mO7lPKT7/S0h8lmnNBL8Zbc= =2DAa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 10.3 and powermanagement
by Andreas 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

I am sure it is something very obvious, yet I can't seem to find a way to configure the powermanagement in openSUSE 10.3. YaST is missing the power-management module and in KPowersave all options are 'greyed out'. Any pointers? -- Gruß Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Finding bugs in OpenSuse Bugzilla - Mime Type Errors in Konqueror
by Philippe Landau 28 Dec '07

28 Dec '07

This problem exists since years and thousands struggle with it in different distributions: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/mandriva-30/could-not-find-mime-typ… In Konqueror file associations are incomplete in OpenSuse 10.3, so i changed .flv handling adding VLC to open those files (right-click on file, Properties, click icon after "Type:"). Since i get this error message popping up every time i hover above a .html file: "Could not find mime type application/octet-stream" Is it possible to search OpenSuse Bugzilla for a phrase ? I get over 200 results: https://bugzilla.novell.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevan… Kind regards Philippe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenSuse 10.2 - Fortran compilation very slow through NFS network with a 64bit server and 32bit clients.
by Michel Rasquin 23 Dec '07

23 Dec '07

Dear all, I am a new OpenSuSE user and quite convinced by this distribution. However, I still have a problem. I have configured a gigabit network, using nfs and everything works fine except for all the Fortran compilers I have tried so far (Intel, g95, gfortran). There is no problem to compile some files which are stored locally on a nfs client. However, when I try to compile some files stored on /home which is mounted through nfs, then it takes hours to make the link between all the .o files created. My server is an OpenSuSE 10.2 - 64bit machine and the nfs options are "root_squash,sync,insecure,rw". All the clients run on OpenSuSE 10.2 - 32bit, with the options "rw,soft". Except for the compilation, I do not face any other slow network communication. Do you know if the problem is related to the "32bit clients - 64bit server" association? Should I add another nfs option to the server or to the clients? Thanks a lot for your help :-) Regards, Michel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Because it may be used for more than one system -- some people have no broadband connection and don't want to re-download every patch anew. Furthermore, some people have metered Internet connections and don't want to rsync and keep the whole archive, but only the parts that they have needed. Just yet another reason to use smart or apt, IMHO.
