Can someone tell me why: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/non-oss works find as an added repository but http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss fails to install as a repository although I see the rpms in that path?

[opensuse] Radeon Xpress 1100
by John Pierce 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

Hello all, I am getting ready to purchase a new laptop and have been looking at the laptops based on the AMD Turion 64 X2 because I am wanting to run xen source and full virtualization. However, the systems that I have looked at are equipped with the Radeon Xpress 1100 gpu and I went to the ati web site and it does not appear in the list of chipsets. The driver finder for mobility radeons jumps from X800 to X1300, I even looked at integrated and standard gpus, same thing from X850 to X1300. Before I purchase a machine I want to know that the gpu is supported for hardware acceleration. Any HATs (Hints, Advice, Thoughts) would be appreciated. -- John Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Using sudo for everything
by Flextron 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

Hi, I want to split normal root user from batch (cron) jobs, so I created a new user (TJOBS00) with the same group and rights. I also modified sudo so the new user can execute any command. Using daily cron, I get this errors: SCRIPT: output (stdout && stderr) follows error: failed to rename /var/lib/mysql/mysqld.log to /var/lib/mysql/mysqld.log.1: Permission denied error: error creating output file /var/lib/mysql/mysqld.log: Permission denied error: error opening /var/log/samba/log.smbd: Permission denied error: error setting owner of /var/log/wtmp-20070111: Operation not permitted error: error creating state file /var/lib/logrotate.status: Permission denied SCRIPT: logrotate ------- END OF OUTPUT mkdir: `/var/adm/backup/rpmdb': Permission denied find: /etc/sysconfig/network/providers: Permission denied cat: /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd: Permission denied cat: /etc/sysconfig/collectd: Permission denied cat: /etc/sysconfig/network/update-log: Permission denied cat: /etc/sysconfig/network/update-log.debug: Permission denied ERROR!! can not backup sysconfig files to /var/adm/backup/rpmdb.

I'm starting to monitor the errors produced by ethtool and realized that the information was accumulative. Is there a command to clear the counts without restarting the machine?

[opensuse] vmware and kernel version problem
by Donato Azevedo 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

Hi, this is my first message to the list. I am a new openSUSE user (openSUSE_10.2) and I am having trouble installing vmware. After installation it requires me to run a config script in which it tries to compile some modules. But it fails because, the kernel headers I have installed say my kernel version is 2.6.18 : linux/version.h #define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.18" #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132626 #define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c)) whereas uname -r returns: donato@hansolo:/usr/include> uname -r 2.6.18.2-34-default should I change linux/version.h or is there another approach to solve this problem? this is the exact output from the configuration script: What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/include The header files in /usr/include are generally for C libraries, not for the running kernel. If you do not have kernel header files in your /usr/src directory, you probably do not have the kernel-source package installed. Are you sure that /usr/include contains the header files associated with your running kernel? [no] yes The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.18) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.18.2-34-default). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.

[opensuse] Migrating hardware
by Drew Burchett 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

I have a Suse Linux 10.1 server running on a virtual server. I would like to change the drives from SCSI to IDE on this server. I know the procedure for changing it in the virtual server, but I was wondering if someone could tell me what I would need to do to get Suse to boot back up once I changed the drive over. I'm sure I'll have to at the very least change something in Grub, but beyond that I don't know.

[opensuse] dedibox propose openSUSE 10.1
by jdd 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

A french company (related to the famous ISP Free) proposes for now some months hosting of dedicated computer. http://www.dedibox.fr/ this offer have been recently expanded to openSUSE 10.1. This mean that you can have opensuse installed remotely and work with it there. I don't know if this exists (at such low price, month €30 VAT excluded) in other countries, but it's a quite intersting mean of having a solid web system. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Votez pour nous, merci - vote for us, thanks :-) http://musique.sfrjeunestalents.fr/artiste/Magic-Alliance/ http://photo.sfrjeunestalents.fr/artiste/jddphoto/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] XMMS trouble opening mp3 files
by Istvan Gabor 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

Hello list users: I have associated XMMS with mp3 files. When I double click on an mp3 file with empty space in the name either in krusader or in konqueror file manager XMMS starts but does not play the given file. The file name in XMMS playlist window becomes the last word of the real filename. For example clicking on "Song Artist - Song Title.mp3" becomes "Title" in XMMS playlist and the song is not started. Dragging the files into an alrady opened playlist works and the files are played. I also associated mp3 with amarok and with it this problem does not show up. I have SUSE 10.2 with packman's XMMS: xmms-lib-1.2.10-200.pm.2 xmms-1.2.10-200.pm.2 Have anyone experienced similar problem? How could I fix it?

[opensuse] Wireless network problems still
by Art Fore 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

I have tried a number of things to stop the incessant beeping from the wireless network card when it drops the link and acquires it again. Nuting the speaker, plugging in head phones, etc. does no good and volume control has no effect. Tried some mods to ifplud config file with absolutely no effect. Here is the info from /var/log/messages file Feb 6 06:30:24 linux-latitude ifplugd(eth1)[6205]: Link beat lost. Feb 6 06:30:25 linux-latitude ifplugd(eth1)[6205]: Link beat detected. This continues about every 10 seconds.and was going this morning when I came into work. This occured about 5 times last night for several minutes each time. I can stop it by executing ifplugd -i eth1 -k then start it again with ifplugd -i eth1, then route add default gw 192.168.11.1. The route del default gw 10.18.32.1 seems to hold without having to redo it. Here is what I get in the /var/log/messages file when I execute the commands above. Notice the DHCP lease time is infinit.

[opensuse] Upgraded Hardware - Foreseeable Problems?
by Stephen P. Molnar, Ph.D. 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

I am currently running SuSE v9.3 on an old, slow 32bit CPU and am contemplating several upgrades in sequence. I would appreciate some advise as I am definitely not a hardware person and primarily run other folks scientific software (I have a research program in computational chemistry) rather than write my own. The CPU I'm looking at is the AMD Athlon 64 3500+. The motherboard is a MSI K9N Neo-F, MS-7260 Ver 1.0 K9N nForce 550 (I don't know anything about hardware, but I can copy a label). The motherboard only has one PCI slot for a master and a slave. My current linux box has 3 HD's, but I'm prepared to give one up (keep it as a spare for my Win XP machine). There are 4 SATA connections, but I know nothing about them. I presume that any hard drive connected to one of those must be a SATA HD, or is there some sort of adapter? Also, what about DC/DVD drive how would that be connected? I have an old CD drive on the linux box now, but am willing to upgrade it to a DVD. Sorry to have asked so many low level questions, but, as I said, I'm not a hardware person. Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.

[opensuse] [SUSE 10.1] Lock packages so that rug doesn't try to update them?
by Marlier, Ian 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hey, all -- I've got a machine running SUSE 10.1. It's a pretty standard server install, with the exception that it's running a custom-built set of postgresql-8.0.3 RPMs. Every time I run `rug lu`, it shows that updates for those packages (to 8.1.4-1.2) are available. However, I'm not prepared to migrate to a new postgres version. I'm wondering if there's a way to lock those packages. Ideally, I'd like the following to all be true: - When `rug sum` is run, ignore those packages. - When `rug lu` is run, ignore those packages. - When `run up` is run, ignore those packages. Basically -- I don't want rug to ever touch those packages. Is there a way to do this?

[opensuse] OpenSUSE emacs broken out of the box
by Alex Bennee 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hi, I've upgraded from SuSE 10.1 to OpenSuse 10.2 and have everything working apart from the X11 version of emacs. Attempting to run it I get: 18:36 >emacs -q Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct The whole emacs display is then full of boxes instead of the usual text. If I run with my .emacs it's usually enough to segfault emacs. I did a bit of digging with Google and found the following message: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-autoinstall/2006-02/msg00071.html But was unable to glean anything from it. I have pretty much all the fonts installed and everything else seems to be displaying fine. Grepping over /etc/ and /usr/share didn't seem to show anything setup to refer to this font descriptor. A strings on the emacs binary seems to show this is a default config. I did find some mentiones of .Xdefaults and .Xresources on the net but nothing that seemed to make any difference. Besides shoudn't any config magic for emacs be part of the emacs-x11 package so it runs out of the box? As suggested looking at the referenced email I tried looking at how many fonts where installed: >xlsfonts | wc -l 657 However greping for helv or cour didn't show any up. Can anybody offer any light? Is it just me and some artifact of the upgrade or is emacs broken? -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!"

[opensuse] Still trying to get DVD to work
by Stevens 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Is there anyone on the list who is running Suse 10.2 whose DVD drive automatically mounts media when inserted? If so, I would like to engage in a chat session to do a "stare and compare" to figure out how my setup differs, because my puter absolutely, positively refuses to automatically mount cd or dvd media. "lshal -m" will detect it's presence, Yast knows when the distro DVD is loaded, but that's it. I have fought with this problem since I installed 10.2 on 7Jan07 and it is to the point that if I cannot resolve the issue, I am kissing Suse goodbye, as the system is almost worthless to me if I cannot use the cd/dvd drive.

[opensuse] OT - maybe (kde question)
by Stevens 05 Feb '07

The "My Computer" icon brings up a konqueror window with the sysinfo:/ screen, but what it reports for "Disk Information" is interesting. It has entries for 1) both partitions of this drive, 2) the usb drive that is plugged in and 3) the floppy drive, but I have two other disk drives in the computer, one has 4 partitions and the other has one (ntfs). Both of those drives are disabled in the bios. I can mount them because the OS sees them, regardless of what the bios says. Yast Hardware sees them. Why don't they show up in "My Computer" also? ======= -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Gnome Screensaver not asking for a password
by Rory Slegtenhorst 05 Feb '07

Hi, I'm using SuSE 10.1 and Gnome... I lock my screen using the menubar, but when I move my mouse again, I get my desktop back without being asked for a password... Any idea's on how to fix this?

[opensuse] ANOTHER 64-bit problem, or I think it is.
by Fred A. Miller 05 Feb '07

ANOTHER 64-bit problem, or I think it is. Some apps. like FireFox and OpenOffice come up with a warning about an instance of the app. already running, even though it isn't. FireFox is dead in the water - WON'T run. Openoffice will load, but then won't close so I have to kill it. DON'T tell me I have to put XP Media release back on this sucker!! If SUSE won't run on this 64-bit monster, then I won't be getting an account I've wanted for awhile. :( Fred -- MickySoft, the ultimate corporate parasite. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
