[opensuse] php5 -> sqlite3 error
by Daniel Bauer 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Hi list, I am trying to access a sqlite3 file with php5, but I get the error: Warning: sqlite_open() [function.sqlite-open]: file is encrypted or is not a database I can open that file (its a digikam db) with knoda. For the test I gave the file and its folder rw rights for everybody. My script starts with: <?php $dbname='tst/tstdigikam3.db'; if (!$db = sqlite_open($dbname, 0666, $err) ) die("OpenFehler: $err"); ... Any idea what I am doing wrong?

[opensuse] php5: dynamic extensions in php.ini?
by Daniel Bauer 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Hi :-) I finally upgraded from php4 to php5. When I compared my old php.ini to the new one, I saw that the "dynamic extension" are not listed anymore in the new one. Is it advisable to list the installed extensions there? Should I just add all modules that are listed in /usr/lib/php5/extensions ? Oh, and, I thought, these files were named like "mysql.so" but all files in that directory don't have any file name extension??? I am working on Suse 10.0. Apache, mysql, php... are only for local use. thanks for your hints.

[opensuse] Screensaver Wierdness
by Donald D Henson 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Running OpenSuSE 10.2 (Boxed Set) and Gnome/Screensaver that came with it. The screensaver sometimes works and sometimes not, apparently at random. I haven't seen any comments on this so I'm wondering if I'm the only one with the problem. Is that the case or is it a known reported bug? The screensaver is not a big deal but it is a useful function. Any thoughts? -- Donald D. Henson, Managing Director West El Paso Information Network The "Non-Initiation of Force Principle" Rules

[opensuse] SuSE 10.2 I gave up too!
by Teruel de Campo MD 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

This note may help users trying to install SuSE 10.2. This new version of SuSE is very stable, fast, the pack manger works very well, mythtv install with few clicks and works very well. I found almost all positive but because I could not have the dvd burner working with growisofs / wodim /k3b I had to go back to SuSE 10.1. I spent almost a month trying to work on different problems and most solved. Since SuSE 9.0 64 I have never spent so much time to install SuSE. Most could have been solved with a small note in the SuSE 10.2 release notes. --------------- Ref: MSI K8N Neon4 amd fx-55 (64) ide1: Sony ait tape drive as master. Nothing as slave ide2: cd/dvd player as master, cd/dvd +rw as slave sata1: WD raptor sata2: WD raptor sata3: WD raptor sata4: samsung (I do not use raid) haupaugge winTV-pvr 350 pcHDTV ATI Radeon X800 XL 256M ---------------- So I do not have IDE hard disks and all my cd/dvd's are pata 1. Problem 1: unresolved. cd/dvd burning. The cd burns OK. DVD can not copy or burn anything. Changing the module to pata instead of the (amd74xx I believe) allow to burn but the booting produce errors trying to load ata, finally after 5 attempts went through. I tried everything new version, permissions, removing wodim and installing cdrecord etc etc. No luck. Only using the pata module I was able to burn (not all the time) dvds. This all may be related to my system with a mixture of dvd ide and HD sata? Without dvd burning I could not use this distro. 2. Black screen during the initial installation after the first reboot. The only solution I found that works is to select (F3) the resolution supported in my case 1600 x 1200 and install. I am sure this is related to the ati graphic card. But using this trick works well all the time. I have done zillion of installations trying to have this system working so I know by experience :-) 3. I use vmware to run palm desktop for my treo. Because some business program that I can not run under linux or crossover the only way is to load vmware. This was working great in 10.1 but not in 10.2. The usb is caput. After many moon I find out that usbfs has been disable in the kernel for security reason. The solution (AFTER you know it!) is simple just enable usbfs in the kernel and compile it and then works great. 4. I use Evolution as mail client. I also use OO. OO from novell in 10.1 had filter that allow many mail clients including Evolution to link the address books as data source so I could use for letters, envelopes all the data from Evolution. This has been removed from 10.2 and I have not found a way to do it. Of course I can export Evolution to kaddress and then use it under OO but I miss the "live link" so if I add another contact in Evolution I will not see it in OO without exporting to kaddress. What a pain. Evolution does not have an export facility except for Vcards. However there is a hiding program that will do the job: /opt/gnome/lib64/evolution/2.8/evolution-addressbook-export --format=csv > mail_address_book.csv 5. Evolution does not remember the passwords under KDE. This is related to the gnome keyring. Someone post it a fix I believe in this forum. If you do not find it write me and I will post it. 6. If you use mythtv there is a couple of points that may be a little confusing. ivtv is loaded as kernel module if I remember correctly ivtv-pm. Also there is another module to be install called ivtv. This is an rpm for the ivtv tools that are not necessary but important to install it. The mythtv rpm are self explanatory. Remember if you change the kernel you may have to remove the ivtv-pm kernel module and build a module from source for the new kernel (2.6.19). Well I envy all of you that are running 10.2. Hope there is a solution for the dvd in the future and I can joint you. In the meantime I am back to my old friend SuSE 10.1.

Re: [opensuse] VMWare and kernel Version

I got past this (stuck elsewhere but that's another issue). For anyone else who has this issue: VMware forum: http://kb.vmware.com/vmtnkb/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=V… I changed references to linux/version.h "A somewhat cleaner solution is to edit vmware-config-tools.pl - go to check_answer_headerdir() line 1293 (in my version), change references to linux/version.h to linux/utsrelease.h " Thanks.

[opensuse] distribution upgrade with smart?
by Kostas Georgokitsos 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Hiall, I wonder if it is possible to upgrade my 10.1. to 10.2. over the network using smart? I thought smart feels a lot like apt so it could be possible. On the other hand I see all the version specific channels, and wonder if it is possible. My main thought was, that packman and guru packages could be automatically upgraded from the respective repositories, as well.

[opensuse] zmd-updater problem
by russbucket 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

In the last couple of days I've been getting the following error when I try to update with the zmd-updater. The updater shows 8 updates but I get the errors when I tell it to install them. Transaction failed: Can't provide /var/cache/zmd/web/files/packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/10.2/i586/k3b-0.99.1.0rc5-1.pm.1.i586.rpm from http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/10.2/ I also get a simular error when I try an update from guru. I removed the data base from /var/lib/zmd and it did recreate when I did the rczmd -start but it did not help the problem. Any Ideas what to do next? -- Russ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] A tool for YaST repositories - YaSTRS.
by Amir Hardon 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

I've made a tool similar to Mandriva's easyurpmi, but for YaST. It allows the user to specify his Suse version and architecture, displays a list of known repositories for the specific system, let's the user pick the repositories his interested in, and generates a shell script to add them to his local machine. All mirrors are automatically validated on a daily basis. Currently most available repositories are for 10.2, you are all welcomed to use the tool, and add more repositories to it. The tool is available at: http://www.hardon.co.il/yastrs/ -Amir. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] VMWare and kernel Version
by Brett I. Holcomb 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

I have built a kernel (2.6.19.1) by downloading the kernel tarball from kernel.org. I've booted up and am running it. I am attempting to install VMware server but it complains about the fact my running kernel version doesn't match the headers version. If I were running the originial SUSE kernel I'm supposed to be able to do a make cloneconfig and all will be well. Lacking that the docs indicate that I need the headers and source. I thought that's what I had when I got the tarball from kernel.org. Where do I get the kernel source package that matches 2.6.19.1? Yast doesn't find any packages for this version or one even close - it's stuck at 2.16.x.y? Thanks. -- Brett I.
