[opensuse] XGL video issue
by Jay Smith 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

So I got XGL working with Beryl and Compiz. I am using Beryl by default and my videos in kaffeine and xine, well vids in general. They are very laggy and it slows down my cursor. Well when I was using simply KDE, my vids were fine, under Beryl, slows down. Kaffeine will only operate in opengl move. Also, I have irritating borders around every menu and window. How do I turn it off? Is it possible to get the full XGl/Compiz effect without Beryl or Emerald. By effects I mean the 3D cube and ability to rotate and also the 3D Desk that causes the windows to appear 3D? Thanks all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 10.2 7800gt pci-e video lockup
by Dan 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

Hello, I have recently tried to install 10.2 on a machine with a BFG 7800GT pci-e card. When I get the the hardware configuration screen and click the test button for the video test the machine brings up the test screen and the system locks up. The test screen doesn't look right either, it's just a bunch of lines, there is now way you can make out what it is. So I put in an old pci card and installed the OS. Then I went and put the 7800gt back in and it worked, but when I try to change the resolution it will lock up again. Is there some kind of bios setting wrong? Has anyone else tried a card similar to this? Thanks, Dan. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Printing from KDE apps fails
by S Glasoe 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

openSUSE 10.2, KDE 3.5.5 release 50.1 and Konqueror and Kontact/KMail, cups 1.2.7. Trying to print email messages or web page or a frame of a web page and I get the following error after a one or more succesful prints. A print error occurred. Error message received from system: Unable to start child print process. Check the command syntax: cupsdoprint -P 'deskjet5650' -J 'http://www.opensuse.org/' -H '/var/run/cups/cups.sock:631' -U 'sglasoe' -o ' copies=1 multiple-document-handling=separate-documents-collated-copies orientation-requested=3' I'm thinking an extra space gets inserted for the -o parameter between the single quote and copies=1. Is there a way to use the command line to verify this? Googled for ideas and have logged out/in, gone to init 3 and rcxdm restart. Next will be the old reboot just to satisfy me. Very annoying. It prints some copies then the error reappears. Thanks, Stan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Samba 3.0.24 on Suse 10.0
by Moby 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

Does anyone know if one can find archives of samba RPMs for SuSE 10.0? I was running samba 3.0.23d with full AD integration and it was running fine. I did an update using apt, and it picked up Samba 3.0.24. However, winbind from 3.0.24 keeps on failing. I see messages to the effect of " libads/dns.c:dns_send_req(292) ads_dns_lookup_srv: Failed to resolve _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs. (Success)" fill up my logs. I know DNS is working fine, since the Windows clients and domain controllers are working fine. Also Samba 3.0.23d on a SuSE 10.2 box is working fine. Does anyone know where I can find Samba 3.0.23d for SuSE 10 or, even better, how to set about resolving the errors I see with Samba 3.0.24?

[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.

[opensuse] clear errors in ethtool -S
by aragonx＠dcsnow.com 06 Feb '07

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.
