[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

I'm running opensuse 10.2 on an HP Pavilion dv8000t.... Everything is great except the built in media slots (sd-ram, etc.) don't work... Any hints on getting these working? Regular USB works fine..... Thanks, Mike Smith -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

[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? Thanks, IG _________________________________________________________________Legyen biztonságban a pihenés alatt is! - Online utasbiztosítás! http://www.biztositas.hu/origo/utas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[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?
