Hi all (including myself), a few days after posting this email to the list I tried again to upgrade using smart. It works perfectly now. Maybe Pascal has arranged some changes on his cool...

In the other post you mentioned that no graphic in runlevel 5. Obviously something went wrong with /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. You mentioned in third separate post same PCI BusID, that will not work. That is the reason I asked you to check first with command rohan@linux:~> /sbin/lspci what is found on the system. That is the command that you have to type on command prompt in user terminal. If system see only one card or one half of 2 cards than we have to find the way to bring that in order first, if possible. I have forgotten to say to make backup copy of xorg.conf, it is time to do that now. You are in the text mode. Login as root and change directory: linux:~# cd /etc/X11 linux:/etc/X11 # cp xorg.conf xorg.conf-4screens This will save your changes, as I guess there is a little to edit, to bring it in order. The linux:~# is command prompt, you have to type only what comes after #. To list all xorg.conf files: linux:/etc/X11 # ls xorg* xorg.conf xorg.conf-4screens xorg.conf.md5 xorg.conf.install xorg.conf.saxsave The xorg.conf.saxsave is the best candidate to copy back to xorg.conf, if it is missing than use xorg.conf.install, the xorg.conf.md5 is only md5 check sum of current xorg.conf: linux:/etc/X11 # cp xorg.conf.saxsave xorg.conf linux:/etc/X11 # init 3 if you don't see command prompt, press Enter and it will appear. Now we can go back to graphic mode: linux:/etc/X11 # init 5 Main Menu--System--Terminal--Terminal Super User Mode to start Terminal (or Konsole). It will ask you for a password, give root password. Now, let we see what cards are recognized. linux:~# lspci will list all PCI devices, you can copy and paste it to email and we can go from there. The same you can do with xorg.conf-4screens: linux:~# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf-4screens <here you will see longer listing, scroll to the begin and copy and paste it to email. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal http://en.opensuse.org/Midnight_Commander -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Have 4G, any reason to use x86_64 over i386?
by Linda Walsh 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

I have an Intel cpu / 64-bit extensions on a machine with 4G of memory. Just want some confirmation (or not)...it seems like i386 would currently be my best choice: all memory is accessible, no program I am running needs >2G addr space, 32-bit programs execute faster and will likely be smaller than the equivalent 64-bit programs (and libraries). As long as I have under 4G mem (and my apps need <2-3G), I see only "downsides" to moving to the x86-64 version. Am I missing something or is this pretty much the "consensus view" (assuming there is one :-)).

[opensuse] rsync syntax
by Carl Hartung 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Hi All, I need to start synchronizing a 'live' website, nightly, with the 'master' copy residing under ~/public_html/ on my local box. I have user account level ssh access to the server and, when I log in, it 'lands' me at /home/user/ ('~/'), directly above the 'live' website directory at ~/public_html/ (is symlinked to ~/www/). I'm sure there are many people on this list who know how to do this. I *sort of* know since I use rsync locally on a daily basis. However, the 'live' site lives on a production box and just don't feel like experimenting. :-) Any recommendations/advice on the correct syntax to use with rsync?

[opensuse] Problems with HP Pavilion DV6000
by J Sloan 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

I just Installed opensuse 10.2 on a new HP Pavilion DV6000 laptop. intel duo core CPU intel wireless network intel graphics I'm seeing a disparity between gnome and kde functionality - #1 - wireless connections via network manager: In gnome, I can connect to the secure wireless networks in my house, but with kde network manager I can't connect to either of them. The gnome applet allows me to choose all the correct parameters, while the kde applet allows fewer options, and does not allow me to enter e.g. the correct the key type as in gnome. If only the kde network manager applet provided all the functionality of the gnome one, we'd be set. #2 - laptop buttons (volume, dvd, etc) In kde, the laptop buttons surprisingly work, but in gnome there is no response to any of the buttons. If the buttons would work under gnome, we could just run gnome and be happy. #3 - display problems - Despite the fact that this is an intel 945 graphics chipset with 100% FOSS drivers, I can't get anything more than 1024x768 resolution, although it's capable of 1440x900. Any attempt to set a higher resolution than 1024x768 gets a corrupted xmd screen, and I have to fall back to the basic 1024x768 to get up and running again. Anybody had any luck with linux (any distro) on an HP DV6000? Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
