[opensuse] 10.3 post install problems
by Graham Lauder 17 Nov '07

17 Nov '07

I'm having a number of issues with 10.3 since installing. Lots of flaky stuff going on so this is going to be long so you'll have to excuse me. Hardware info as follows. ASUS M2A MoBo. AMD64 Dual core 4200+ cpu 2 gigs of RAM IDE Dual Layer DVD-R Post install, it doesn't know it's there tho happily used it right through the installation. IDE HD WD 80 gig (XP Partition) SATA Seagate 160 (SuSE, 10gb root, 2gb swap, 40GB home, 10 gib vfat) 1)DVD will not auto mount. I can mount it manually read-only. Applications in the GUI do not recognise it's presence other than as just another read-only folder after it's mounted. 2)Login would hang on the original account if I tried start x it would tell me I didn't have an xserver installed If however I logged in as root then no problem. I could go to ctrl-alt-f1 go init 3 as root then su to user name go startx and it would run. Logoout of root and back in as user did the same. I added another user and that had no problems so I thought hat there was some residual crap left over in my home directory but after I'd logged out the new user a couple of times it created the same problem. kdm issues perhaps? Problem is 3)Open a terminal or login as my username in a terminal and I get bash: /dev/null: Permission denied bash: /dev/null: Permission denied bash: /dev/null: Permission denied bash: /dev/null: Permission denied bash: /dev/null: Permission denied bash: /dev/null: Permission denied yorick@ltserver:~> Usually 6 but sometimes 10 In runlevel 3 the same thing happens Flaky! -- Graham Lauder, OpenOffice.org MarCon (Marketing Contact) NZ http://marketing.openoffice.org/contacts.html INGOTs Moderator New Zealand www.theingots.org.nz GET DRESSED : GET OOOGEAR Gear for the well dressed OOo Advocate www.ooogear.co.nz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenOffice -cifs-and word format docs
by G T Smith 17 Nov '07

17 Nov '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All, Is anyone else experiencing this... SuSE 10.2 openOffice 2.3.0.1 (updated to 2.3.0.1.2-4.1 ) When attempting save a modified word format document to a cifs share I get the 'could not create backup copy' error message (usually indicates a cifs file locking problem). When I do the same either on the local file system or with an open office document on any file system I have no problems at all. Last time I checked it was not reported in bugzilla, and if anyone is experiencing the same problem I will report this, otherwise I will have to spend some time tweaking samba share settings. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

Hello, >I want a script that does this as a user: > >rcalsasound restart >tuxtype > > > I'm not quite sure I understand this. Do you want this script to be run from a user doing stuff as root or do you want to run this script doing stuff as a specified user? If the second, you could run the script as root and use su (not sudo): su alsauther -lc "rcalsasound restart" su alsauser -lc tuxtype tt, Ortwin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What Happpened to my TrueType core fonts?
by Donald D Henson 17 Nov '07

17 Nov '07

I opened OOo-writer to prepare a document. To my surprise, my favorite font (Arial, 12 point) was not in the font selection drop down box. I'm (almost) positive that I installed the Microsoft core fonts during the latest install. A search of the web turned up two web sites, each offering a howto for installing truetype fonts and each providing a link to a file containing MS core fonts. However, following the link resulted in a "file not found" error. Has anyone else run into this problem? Does anyone have a fix or a workaround?

[opensuse] Atom:Bug-Buddy?
by Dennis J. Tuchler 17 Nov '07

17 Nov '07

I tried to download and install a copy of atom:bug-buddy, as instructed by my KDE update and patch announcer. I tried various ways of getting it but failed for want of auxiliary packages. The last attempt got me this cryptic statement: 2 Problems: Problem: No valid solution found with just resolvables of best architecture. Problem: atom:bug-buddy cannot be installed due to missing dependencies Problem: No valid solution found with just resolvables of best architecture. With this run only resolvables with the best architecture have been regarded. Regarding all possible resolvables takes time, but can come to a valid result. Solution 1: Make a solver run with ALL possibilities. Regarding all resolvables with a compatible architecture. How do I make a solver? -- Best regards, Dennis J.

Thank you Greg, it works :-) The reason it did not see my drives in the yast partitioner earlier is because the card uses jumpers to decide whether to use Con1 (Sata) or Con3 (eSata) and Con2 (Sata) or Con4 (eSata) and the instructions printed on the card are wrong for the series i got, although, contrary to the manual, they are right for another batch of those cards :-) Are you planning on enabling external drive functionality (mounting on connecting eSata, right-click unmount) or does this need an effort by Kernel developers ? Are they working on that ? Kind regards Philippe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
