[opensuse] hwinfo can't be rebuilt at 64bit Linux
by Zhao Shujing 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

I try to rebuild hwinfo at RHEL for 64-bit. But there are some errors: gcc -c -Wall -O2 -pipe -g -fPIC -I../../src/hd cpu.c {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:368: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push' {standard input}:373: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `pop' and I found the reason is: Instructions that modify the stack (push, pop, call, ret, enter, and leave) are implicitly 64-bit. I fix the source as the following: --- hwinfo-8.99.old/src/hd/cpu.c 2007-03-28 10:13:42.000000000 +0800 +++ hwinfo-8.99/src/hd/cpu.c 2007-03-28 10:16:57.000000000 +0800 @@ -494,19 +494,30 @@ ADD2LOG("----- /proc/cpuinfo end -----\n"); } - #if defined(__i386__) || defined(__x86_64__) inline unsigned units_per_cpu() { unsigned u; asm( +#if defined(__i386__) "push %%ebx\n\t" +#else + "push %%rbx\n\t" +#endif "mov $1,%%eax\n\t" "cpuid\n\t" +#if defined(__i386__) "shr $8,%%ebx\n\t" +#else + "shr $8,%%rbx\n\t" +#endif "movzx %%bh,%%eax\n\t" +#if defined(__i386__) "pop %%ebx" +#else + "pop %%rbx" +#endif : "=a" (u) :: "%ecx", "%edx" ); Anyone have met this status?

[opensuse] printing to file with cups
by jdd 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

A very long time ago, I used to create a printcap entry to print to a file (and have postscript file in result). Do you know how to di this with cups. alternatively, how can we create a _pdf_ printer (print to a file, from command line). cups-pdf is _not_ part of openSUSE AFAIK (I know, I can compile it...) should be enough to be able to print to kprinter from console a workaround is to view the file in konq and print it from there, but I like CLI :-) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Lucien Dodin, inventeur http://lucien.dodin.net/index.shtml -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] tsclient removed from SuSE?
by Zhang Weiwu 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

I recall that there had been tsclient come with SuSE 9.x. Now I am using SuSE 10.2. I cannot find tsclient in the SuSE standard repository nor in packman. (Can I know why this is removed?) tsclient is not important to me, because I always use "vncviewer" commandline. But we are in a company and I don't like to frighten away my colleagues by telling them when they want a remote desktop session (e.g. discuss a contact) they have to start gnome-terminal and type something there (and, I am sure many of them will type wrongly, with incorrect placed space ett, because they don't know how to use command line. To accept vnc session is easy, go to Control Center and click "Remote Desktop". To start vnc session does one have to use command-line? Yes I can create a desktop shortcut for them so that they can directly launch vncviewer which prompt for server address. But I prefer the standard way: installing some software for them (unless I have to make the desktop shortcuts). -- Zhang Weiwu Real Softservice http://www.realss.com +86 592 2091112 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Updater hangs at 99%
by Robert Lewis 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Has anyone noticed that very occasionally the software updater (orange orb) will hang at 99% forever. I am not sure how to define forever ;-) One can kill the process (or close the window) and the the packages were installed. Also, it goes to 100% and then backs off to 99% for a long period when running normally. I am looking forward to 10.3 to see all the enhancements and fixes to this system. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Interesting paper on storage for SETI like programs.
by Greg Freemyer 27 Mar '07

27 Mar '07

All, I just saw http://www.cs.umass.edu/~emery/pubs/TFS.pdf It describes a research effort to modify ext2 to allow the freespace to be used as a redundant storage solution for large-scale clustered apps. (ie. like the SETI app). As I skimmed the paper, it appears the use of freespace to hold data means the data will often be overwritten, but since the data is redundantly maintained on other computers they just let it get blown away whenever the real user of the computer needs it. Seems to have little impact on the end users machine performance. I encourage us as the opensuse community to track the progress. Maybe one day this can be incorporated into opensuse with a simple checkbox during install of if you want to have your machine participate or not.

[opensuse] openSUSE 10.2 with multiple users/languages
by Rui Santos 27 Mar '07

27 Mar '07

Hi all, I've just migrated to openSUSE 10.2 and I have a problem I hope someone could help fix... - I've installed two languages: Portuguese as primary, English as secondary. - There are 5 users: Me and four others. The "four others" all use Portuguese as their working language, and all works well. For me, I choose to use the English language instead. This is where my problem lyes: I've set KDE Language to English and, all KDE based apps start with the English Language. But, all other start with Portuguese. Just to name a few: - Firefox - Thunderbird - YaST - etc.. I've already added 'export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"' to both .profile and .bashrc, but without any success. Firefox doesn't even start in English if I type 'export LANG="en_US.UTF-8" && firefox'. All this works well if I change the main language to English but then, the other users start having their own problems... Can anyone help me on this ?

All we got are community built projects **aiming** to achieve such description of an IDE. I mean, all we got are baby projects. My experience tells me the following: *KDevelop doesn't present an user-friendly interface because of the large amount of widgets it have, most of them presenting non-relevant information to the mean user but to specific group of users. The simply fact that you have 5 different ways to start the IDE from the KDE applications menu, gives the impression of a large amount of redundant information spread all around the GUI.

The Anjuta's version included in openSuSE since 10.0 it's full of bugs, although it seems to be its latest "stable" release. I have worked with it under CentOS and Red Hat and works well, although its code-completion feature is far from reaching VC7 capabilities, **you should not move tool bars from its original places because it might cause the program to crash and never start again** at least you erase all your configuration files under /home/username/.Anjuta. This seems to be a problem when the program saves its configuration file, marking a widget length with negative values. ( This has happened to me several times). > or > Eclipse with te CDT plugin It doesn't make sense to run an entire Java IDE just for C++ programming. We all know about Java's memory requirements, and if you are looking for **efficiency**, this is definitively not a choice, at least you have a computer with a huge RAM size. There's also a NetBeans module for C++ programming. But I still think that people shouldn't try to use a Java IDE for C/C++ programming, indeed, we should use C/C++ compiled IDEs (e.g. JCreator style) for Java programming because they are faster and might work well under low RAM environments. Furthermore, if you have a 64-bit machine, this might require additional configuration steps because Sun has not provided a 64-bit version of their JVM yet and you must use a 32-bit version instead. > or > Ultimate++ (http://www.ultimatepp.org/) > I haven't tried this one. I'll check it out !!!. **There is also Codeblocks IDE, but is not stable either, and is on a premature status too.** **CONCLUSION** For most of the IDE lovers like me, Anjuta will suit most of your needs, but this doesn't mean that Anjuta is a good IDE, I think there's still a lot of work to do on this area for the community. **This reflects my personal opinion from a Computer Science student point of view, and a mean knowledge Linux user, and C/C++, Java, Pascal, & PHP programmer, with different skill levels in each one of these languages**. I have developed some assignments on this platform, including one for a Scientific Visualization Research Center at my campus, (image processing related), and I teach Linux usage (KDE, OpenOffice, Firefox, &Thunderbird usage) for Government's Computer Education programs. So I respect more experienced Linux user's opinion, but I recall that new programmers move to Linux everyday, and community should establish information flow channels to the new users (as my pupils for example).

[opensuse] YOU curl definition
by Rafa Grimán 27 Mar '07

27 Mar '07

Hi :) I'm trying o update an OpenSUSE 10.2 but I'm behind a proxy which requires authentication. There's no way I can get YOU to sync. I have tried defining http_proxy et al variables with and without user+password (/etc/sysconfig/) to no avail :( I know the http_proxy variables are well defined because I can browse the Internet, ftp, ping, dig, ... but YOU just won't work. I found this line: string command = "curl --verbose --proxy %1 %2 --connect-timeout %3 --url %4"; in the /usr/share/YaST2/modules/Proxy.ycp file, but I'm not sure whether this is where I'd have to add one of the --proxy-anyauth | --proxy-basic | --proxy-digest | --proxy-ntlm options. Is this where I'd have to add one of these options? More info, when I try to register my OpenSUSE I get a 56 exit code from curl (Failure in receiving network data). When I try to add a new repo I get an error stating that the source can't be reached but if I copy'n'paste the same URL in a browser ... it shows up.

[opensuse] DST with dual boot
by Josef Wolf 27 Mar '07

27 Mar '07

Hello, In good old unix tradition, I always set the HW clock to UTC and let zoneinfo do the rest. Now I need to install a dual-boot box (win-XP). Do I really need to fall back to the (IMHO) braindead method to set the HW clock to local time? Or is there some clever way to get win-xp to accept HW clock set to UTC? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Installing 10.2 but keeping my files

Are you using the Custom (for experts) feature? This will allow you format / only and leave the other partitions untouched. This message sent from BlackBerry Enterprise Server. -----Original Message----- From: Sorin Peste <neaorin(a)gmail.com> To: <opensuse(a)opensuse.org> Sent: 3/27/2007 5:04:40 PM Subject: [opensuse] Installing 10.2 but keeping my files Hi, After running with SUSE 10.1 for a while I've decided it's time to upgrade to openSUSE 10.2. What I'd like to do is a fresh 10.2 install while keeping all my /home files (they are on a separate partition). But I can't seem to get the installer to leave that partition alone. My 80-gig hard disk is partitioned as follows: sdb1: 1.5GB Linux swap sdb2: 20GB Linux (reiserfs) / sdb3: 53GB Linux (reiserfs) /home The installer thinks I should make sdb3 an 'extended partition' and then create two additional partitions (sdb4 and sdb5) on it, for housing / and /home, respectively. If I try to alter this setup I can't make it leave sdb3 as it is... If I decide to request a partition scheme by using sdb2 and sdb3 allocated space, it then thinks I should delete (not just format) those partitions and create identical new ones in their place! Even if I set it up to not format sdb3, it still lists both partitions as being up for deletion and re-creation. I don't know what to do. I'd like to start fresh without losing my files, if possible. Can I accomplish that without moving an awful lot of files to another storage?

[opensuse] Dual core CPUs abd device drivers
by Roger Oberholtzer 27 Mar '07

27 Mar '07

Perhaps not SUSE-specific. But since SUSE enhances/tweaks code, one never knows: Is there any way to (or even any advantage in) assigning a device driver to a CPU? /proc/interrupts seems always to show the interrupts are for CPU0, never for CPU1. Failing that, and assuming that devices are happy together on CPU0, is there any reason user processes don't favor CPU1?

i'm not sure if i am doing this correctly. earlier last night when i looked at samba shares it was blank. today i can see the two windows machines and i can access the computer where the shared printers are and they are not there. what i did was enter yast/hardware/printers. i clicked on set up network printers then print via smb network server. i entered the workgroup name and what i thought was the host server name. is that the name of the windows machine where the printers are connected? then i added the name of the network printer according to the share name on the host machine. there is no user name or password to use the printer so i left those fields blank. when i clicked on the test button, i received the error message: your network access is not properly configured or the print server is unknown or unavailable. check the hostname of the print server or contact your network administrator. what am i missing? what else do i need to set for proper network access? dwain -- Dwain Alford Alford Design Group P.O.

[opensuse] installing from usb on old laptop
by Morten Bjørnsvik 27 Mar '07

Hi Do anyone knows how to boot the suse10.2 internet installation image via usb or any other option? New harddisk and broken cd-rom player I do not seem to get to the usb via bios. It's an old IBM T40. Last time I installed on an other laptop, but the hardware is somewhat different so I spent a long time getting proper hardware support, shutdown hang, hibernation wrong etc. Thanks -- Morten Bjørnsvik, Oslo, Norway

[opensuse] Abit BP6 won't install SuSE v9.2 through 10.2
by Larry Stotler 27 Mar '07

27 Mar '07

Hello. I've been using SuSE since v5.3. I run it on pretty much everything including my PowerBook Walstreet, etc. I've got an old Abit BP6 Dual Celeron motherboard. I know that at one point in time I had SuSE running on it(v9.1 I think) with 2 Celeron 400Mhz processors. Recently, I dug it out and decided to try overclocking some 366 chips. I've had some success, but I can't get any version of SuSE from v9.2 to current to install on it. v10.2 locks up the machine at the hardware detection, v10.0 locks up at the setup menus, and the others don't want to go either. What's weird is that I have installed both Vector Linux v5.8, which uses kernel v2.6.18.5, and Kubuntu v6.06, which uses kernel v2.6.17. Both of those correctly identified the system as smp and both ran it fine stock speed and overclocked to 506Mhz. Does anyone have any idea why I can't get SuSE to install? I had the rescue from v9.3 running once, but not the install. Any help will be greatly appriciated.

[opensuse] Suspend to disk and aic7xxx
by Rick Kirk 27 Mar '07

_______________________________________________________________________________________ Note: This e-mail is subject to the disclaimer contained at the bottom of this message. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Hi All, Have just been playing with s2disk/s2ram. For the first time I've been able to get s2disk working properly on my machine running OpenSus 10.2, all barring one problem. I have an adaptec 2940u2w card in the machine (Asus P4B800). The card drives an LTO1 drive and one SCSI 146GB drive. At first after resume I was getting kernel panics relating to the aic7xxx driver. I realised this was due to my tapeware software running as a daemon (accessing the scsi bus). I disabled the tape daemon (don't need it anyway) and found on resume that everything was OK. Until I tried to query lvm. The 146GB SCSI sits in a volume group (along with 4 other Sata drives). Any access to that drive causes a kernel panic. Ok. So I reduce the vg and remove the SCSI drive. Now everything works perfectly. Through experimentation I have found that I can unload and reload all SCSI modules at suspend/wake providing they are not in use at the time. The only problem here is that I obviously can't reduce out a disk and re-add it the the vg every time I go into standby so consequently I can't make use of the 146GB drive. Any help you could offer would be very much appreciated. Thanks. Cheers, Rick. _______________________________________________________________________________________ The information transmitted in this message and its attachments (if any) is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed.

[opensuse] OOT: avantfax receives fax ok, but no mail?
by Fajar Priyanto 27 Mar '07

27 Mar '07

Hi all, Sorry for the OOT. I tried posting it in the AvantFAX forum, but no reply yet. I'm using HylaFAX hylafax-4.3.3-1suse100 and AvantFAX 2.1.9 on Opensuse 10.2 with qmail on it. As far as sending and receiving faxes all are good. For sending, I receive notofication too by email. But for receiving, I don't get any mail at all. Whereas, in the AvantFAX docs it say that if I fill in email address on the contacts, it will send a mail notification. I've looked into AvantFAX'es faxrcvd.php and the mail function is there. I don't understand why it doesn't work. There's no error in apache log and syslog. Any hints are really appreciated.
