[opensuse] smartctl and too high temperature?
by Rauch Christian 05 Jun '07

05 Jun '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I have 2 WD S-ATA drives in my PC, one WDC WD2500JD-00H Rev: 08.0 and one WDC WD2500KS-00M Rev: 02.0. The later of them shows quite a weird behaviour sometimes. this drive seems to have 2 sensors for temperature: # the first drive hellmsklamm:~ # smartctl -A -d ata /dev/sda | grep -i temperature 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 101 095 000 Old_age Always - 49 # the second drive hellmsklamm:~ # smartctl -A -d ata /dev/sdb | grep -i temperature 190 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 044 044 045 Old_age Always FAILING_NOW 56 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 094 094 000 Old_age Always - 56 Today a popup came up in KDE, telling me, that sdb had a temperature of 190°C. Anyone experiencing the same/similar behaviour and/or knowing, how to solve this? (No, the drive can't have this temperature, I would've burned my finger badly when touching *g*) Regards, Chris - -- http://rauchs-home.de - home of yet another suse repository ;) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF/FZbayhvFxrDZlkRAowgAJoDcAqX7bLFlc0ea9cEgDW9Rr0/VwCeI3i2 SJC+SMsjzxZ3vGOXP0WR7VI= =yfaU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] About Backing Up
by Dennis J. Tuchler 18 May '07

18 May '07

I have seen advice on listservs not to back up to a CD ROM. I never understood why. Why is it a bad idea to use CDROMS as storage media? -- Best regards, Dennis J.

[opensuse] Partition Resizing
by Colonel Orange 17 May '07

17 May '07

I've been running OpenSuse 10.1 and subsequently 10.2 on a dual boot machine for some time now quite successfully. I'd like to ditch the Windows partition(s) altogether given that it hasn't been used for over 6 months and I can do everything I need to on OpenSuse. Is it possible to simply remove the Window partitions and reallocate to OpenSuse? Partition info: /dev/hda Disk 37.2G /dev/hda1 HPFS/NTFS 35G 18G 18G 50% /windows/C /dev/hdb Disk 74.5G /dev/hdb1 HPFS/NTFS 29G 25G 3.5G 88% /windows/D /dev/hdb2 Extended 33.3G /dev/hdb6 Linux Native 13G 8.6G 4.2G 68% / /dev/hdb7 Linux Native 19G 17G 2.3G 89% /home Ideally I would like to reallocate /dev/hdb1 to /dev/hdb2 then /dev/hdb7 Is this possible to do without loosing my / and /home data and if so which would be the most suitable tool. The Yast2 partition tool will not for example allow me to edit /dev/hdb2.

[opensuse] USB stick not mounted with "sync" option
by Darren Freeman 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hi all, in OpenSUSE 10.1, my removable USB flash memory would be mounted by the hotplug subsystem with the sync option so I could yank it if it weren't flashing. However now that I've gone to 10.2, all my systems mount it without the sync option and I have experienced data loss without realising this. A workaround is to run "sync" as root before yanking, or unmount. Is this a bug or a deliberate change? How can I configure my preferred behaviour?

[opensuse] Install SuSE 102 along side 10.1 - What happens?
by Brian S. Schang 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hello: I'm writing in an attempt to understand how the SuSE installer will accommodate my existing installation. Background: (1) I have SuSE 10.1 successfully installed. (2) I have three hard drives connected: - /dev/sda : the "main" hard drive with SuSE 10.1 and swap - /dev/sdb : a new drive that is blank - /dev/sdc : data (3) I want to leave my SuSE 10.1 intact (untouched) on sda and want to install SuSE 10.2 on sdb. OK, the easy part. I can boot from the SuSE 10.2 DVD and install on sdb. This should be a piece of cake. Presumably an install of SuSE 10.2 on sdb will not touch sda or sdc. Now, the question -- what happens to the boot sequence?? For my setup today (if I understand this properly), I'll boot from sda. Upon boot the master boot record (MBR) will be read from sda and will launch grub on /dev/sda2/boot. The menu.lst file will define the "presets" and default that I have. What happens when I install SuSE 10.2 on sdb? - Will the machine still load the MBR from sda? [I think this is a hardware/BIOS issue?] - Will the machine still load grub from /dev/sda2/boot? - What will happen to my existing menu.lst file? Will it be overwritten (to only contain a 10.2 option) or will it be modified/appended (10.1 and 10.2 options)? The bottom line is that I don't much care, but I do want the option to boot into my working/existing 10.1 versus my experimental 10.2 setup. Will the install program handle this for me? Will I need to make some manual configuration changes after the SuSE 10.2 install? Thank you.

KDE Remote Desktop (VNC) troubles
by Janko Mivšek 07 May '07

07 May '07

Hello all, I'm repeating this question and I'd really appreciate any help. I cannot connect to a remote server via KDE Remote Desktop Connection anymore. When trying, I got an error: Connection failed, server does not accept new connections On a server there is: - no krfb processes - netstat -anp | grep 590 returns: tcp 0 0 :::5900 :::* LISTEN 2030/kdeinit: kded therefore someone is waiting for connection - this is SuSE 9.0 Is there a way to restart KDE's VNC on this server without restarting KDE completely? Thanks for any hint and best regards Janko

[opensuse] Kaffeine/DVD
by Billie Erin Walsh 21 Apr '07

21 Apr '07

"The source can't be read. Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: no disc in drive). (Error reading from DVD.)" When I try to watch some DVD's in Kaffeine I get the above error message. [ Region 1] [ 10.2 ] It seems that the ones that do this open to a folder called video_ts in Konq. Inside the folder are what I assume are the movie files [ ifo, bup, and vob files ] Konq just lists them as type:unknown. Mediaplayer says there is no media on the disk Some will play through the FBI anti-copy message then stop in Kaffeine. I have watched some of these movies on my other computer with Kaffeine just fine. [ 10.1 and 10.0 ] I just finished watching another DVD on this machine without any hitches. [ Region 3 which brings up another question ] I've downloaded and installed all the Kaffeine and xine updates from Packman. Installed libdvdcss. I've read everything on the wiki and some other sites dealing with playing DVD's in Kaffeine and don't see anything I missed installing. Is there something I just overlooked? About the other question: In a certain Windows DVD player it said that if I watched three DVD's from a certain region it would "lock" into that region only. Does anyone know if Kaffeine does the same thing? -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] GUI to create hard/symlinks?
by Carlos E. R. 14 Apr '07

14 Apr '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I would like to know if there is a GUI browser (or text mode) capable of selecting a bunch of files and creating hardlinks in another directory. AFAIK, neither konqueror, nautilus, krusader, or midnight comander do. The closest is nautilus, but only symlinks and in the same directory. Midnight comander does both hard or soft, but only of one file, not of a selection. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFFpU+gtTMYHG2NR9URAs6/AKCNge0+2BpoX6QqgT5vc7sGdT0xQACfRVVW 2EyEcDP7xrUX89cIN2NeYEk= =ULXT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
