[opensuse] Force module not to load
by Teemu Nikkilä 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Hi, usb_storage is giving me troubles under 10.1 so I'd like to prevent the system from loading the module completely since I don't need it. How do I accomplish this? -Teemu -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Splash screen
by Stevens 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

When I log into Suse 10.2 and before KDE is finished loading, I get an opensuse splash screen with the "chases it's tail" activity indicator instead of the KDE stuff. I have yet to find how to kill the opensuse screen. Anyone here have a hint? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] DMA disabled automaticaly
by Sunny 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Hi, Suse 10.0 x86_64 (but it was the same way with 9.3 i386). When a bad CD (with scratches or dirty) is inserted in the CDROM, after some retries to read the data somehow the DMA is disabled. Then I have to manually enable it using hdparm, otherwise it is never restored, even if I put a good disk in the device. So, how can I remove this "feature"? -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] /etc/apache2/envvars
by Philip Mötteli 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Hi, On Debian the Apache 2.0/2.2 web-server is started with the "/etc/ init.d/apache2" script. The script reads the "/etc/apache2/envvars" to set optional environment variables, like "LD_LIBRARY_PATH". What would be the equivalent on an OpenSuSE distribution?

[opensuse] kernel updates
by Hans du Plooy 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Hi guys, I haven't had to do this in ages, and with Mantel gone, I'm not sure where to find "official unofficial" kernels for SUSE. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/i386/HEAD has only the kernel package, no kernel-source package (which I will need for ATi drivers and the like). And in http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/Kernel/SUSE_Linux_10.1/i586/ the kernel version is different from the source. Where do we go these days? This is for 10.1 Thanks Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] YaST2 installation Source
by russbucket 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

openSUSE 10.2 with latest updates. Today when I started opensuse updater, it reported hdc and hdd were not found. Went into YaST2 --> installation source and they were missing. All other sources I've entered were OK. Smart also missing them. ZMD has been deinstalled as I have no networked systems and it was slow. Tryed to find way to add both cd and dvd on same line so YaSt2 would look for either one (Like original install). Where does YaSt store the installation sources? Could not do it. Was able to install both as individual entries. Can you point to a way to re add them as originally entered during install. Searched bus, none found like this. Also wiki and google did not turn anything up. Thats for any help or pointers. -- Russ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] never empty trash bin
by jan kalcic 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Hi People, My trash bin seems to have something inside but it doesn't. Suddenly I have my icon showing an always full trash bin thus I empty it. Further, when I try to empty it when it's already empty I get a error message saying that an old file I removed days ago doesn't exist. I couldn't even find where it is located on the filesystem in order to try to fix it through command line. Strange, isn't it?

[opensuse] Problem running network installation on suse 10.2
by Arie Reynaldi Z 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Hi All, I try to install opensuse 10.2 using this method http://en.opensuse.org/Network_Installation_Source I usually able to install it (at least in suse 10.0, 10.1), but when try 10.2, I got this error: 'ISOLINUX 3.31 0xblah... isolinux: Image checksum error'. I have copied all files di loader as in website says cp -a /srv/ftp/suse10.2/cd1/boot/loader/* . mkisofs -o ../netinst.iso -c boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -b isolinux.bin . And burn netinst.iso to 1 CD. Is that a problem in making network boot CD ? Cause i saw a warning in making DVD in http://en.opensuse.org/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs something about 'lack of signing installation sources'.. If it so, then can I still using network installation ? Cause I already download 5 iso CD's but I rather burn all iso to CD's.. I'd like just use 1 CD (cdrw) and NFS to installation sources. regards, -- Arie Reynaldi Zanahar reymanx at gmail.com http://www.reynaldi.or.id -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

After weeks of trying, I almost beat 6:00:00 on five laps of On the Beach on Super Tux Cart at Racer level... http://donutmonster.com/stuff/2007/20070210_tuxkart_6006.jpg ...and they say SUSE has no games worth playing!
