[opensuse] EV-DO USB modem (Sprint)
by Tom Patton 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

Since Sprint has published a set-up guide for LINUX, I'm considering rewarding their simple acknowledgment of us by giving it a shot...gotta be better than dial-up! In the guide, they state that the maximum connection speed "is limited by the current generic usbserial driver to approximately less than 500kbps.". Can anyone here report on their success with these cards, and if the above limitation is accurate? I am considering the Sierra (USB) Air Card 595U as it has an external antenna connection. (I am 7 miles from a tower, and beyond DSL or cable) Thanks very much, Tom in NM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I was just venting my frustration. In fact, I went beyond venting and contacted their sales rep online right now and put in a request for a Linux version of the product, not because of shame, but because I don't have any Windows box left in the house... -- Carlos FL Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Software Repositories wont add / work.
by Ritchie Fraser 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

All I have been trying, without success, to add additional online repositories through the Yast tool. I have used the community repositories (once) which added the repo's but would always time out when trying to access them etc. I have tried manually adding them: e.g. a Packman mirror site Protocol: http Server: ftp.gwdg.de Directory on Server:/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/10.3 It tries to download the catalogue? and eventually errors with... ---Start error--- Unable to create repository from URL 'http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/10.3//' History: - Curl error for 'http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/10.3//repodata/repomd.xml': Error code: Error messgae: couldn't connect to host Try again? ---end error--- I have deleted all listed repo's from the configured list, and thought I'd try to add them again from the Community Repositories Yast module... it gets to 33% "Downloading list of online repositories..." and then errors with: ---Start Error--- Warning Unable to download list of repositories or no repositories defined. OK ---End Error--- Can anyone help or have any ideas as I believe that this is also affecting the online updates too.

[opensuse] Libzypp update
by Gryffus 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

Hello, It is possible to update libzypp + zypper + boost to newer versions? Yast is throwing me dependency error about libboost_filesystem.so.1.33.1 (i cannot update to boost 1.34 because it doesnt have a libboost_filesystem.so.1.33.1). It is zypper that doesnt support newer version of libboost than 1.33.1? Or just yast software manager cannot work with libzypp 4.1?

[opensuse] Auto-mounting Samba shares with OpenSuse as domain client
by Rodney Baker 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

Hi all. I have a samba server running as a PDC on a FC6 box and Windows clients successfully joining the domain and accessing all resources as expected. I recently switched my laptop from Mandrive to OpenSuse (since Mandriva's latest release no longer played nicely with my wireless card) and decided to use domain-based authentication for the OpenSuse laptop as well (this machine dual-boots with WinXP). After initial problems getting OpenSuse to join the domain (I finally figured out that the Windows and Linux installations had to have different host names for the machine trust account to be created for the OpenSuse install) I logged on expecting to be able to access the samba shares and set them up to auto-mount at logon. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to make this happen. I can access the shares via the MyComputer icon on the OpenSuse desktop (under Network Folders) but applications can't access them via the smb:// protocol and I can't find a way to mount them on the local filesystem. Also, every time I first access a share after logging on, even though I am supposedly authenticated on the domain I am prompted for a username and password to open the network share. This doesn't happen with the Windows clients - once the domain user is authenticated the shares are available without requiring further authentication. On the Yast Windows Domain Membership configuration screen it shows that I am currently a member of the domain. I have "Also use SMB information for linux authentication" checked, "Create Home Directory on Login" checked and "Offline Authentication" unchecked. Is this expected behaviour? Is there a way that I can configure the shared network drives to be auto-mounted at login time? Is a netlogon script for this machine account on the samba server the correct (or best) way to achieve this? Sorry for the long-winded question - just trying to understand what is going on and I'm not a samba expert by any means.

[opensuse] Cannot build a repository.
by Guillermo Ballester Valor 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

Hello all, Some users have asked me about to build gambas2 packages. I did them for opensuse 10.3 (i586). I read the doc about how to build repositories. I though it was OK but obviously something is wrong. The repository tree is mirrored in gwdg.de . Yast2 is capable to add the repo directory server: http://ftp5.gwdg.de directory: /pub/linux/misc/suser-gbv/rpms/10.3 but then, when reading the files using Yast2->software-management module it said that cannot read 'setup/descr/packages', and this file is there. An expert packager in the list can tell me what I did wrong?

After all the problems on the last two orders (10.1 & 10.2 pre-Orders) with the long delays, I am thrilled to report that they now have their stuff together. I ordered 10.3 early Wed morning, and it arrived in the mail Saturday. VERY GOOD, Novell!

[opensuse] x1600pro ATI and Suse10.3
by Jose 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

Hi I am trying to figure out how to make this ati software, I got the newest driver 8.42, installed, got to see the gears spinning on the popup window but when I try to access the catalyst control center, it sends messages saying that my ati driver is not working properly or my card has not support, I had it working on suse 10.2 but I don't know what is wrong with this part, I tried building that xorg-x11-libX11-7.2 but no game, I read that the x1600 were reporting problems with this driver, I tried then using one of the older drivers, but same result. Has anybody tried making this model from ati to work and got sucess with it? Any comments would be welcome Thanks Jose -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Software RAID recovery
by Johannes Nohl 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

Dear list, hypothetically: How do I recover a software RAID 1? It was easy to install it, using 10.3 installer. But what do I have to do if something happens? Let's say one of two harddiscs is broken. OK, I turn the computer off, change the broken harddisc to a working one. And THEN? What do I have to do now? How do I get the mirrored data to the new disc? Is there something like a primary and a secondary disc? Is there a difference which harddisc dies? Could the system keep running if I just remove the damaged disc? Does the installer have a option for recovering RAID? Any good documentation about RAID 1 known?
