[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] File permission question
by ka1ifq 27 Mar '07

27 Mar '07

Hello all, I have a silly problem, I am building a small web page and have added some .jpg's to it, some display and some do not, if I right click where the picture should be it says file not found on server. I have put all of the jpg files in the same directory, why are some found and some not? The files all have the same permissions 744 and have group and owner set to root. All of the jps were made with gimp. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

[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? What is the best tool for monitoring per-CPU activity? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

[opensuse] adding network printer problems
by dwain 27 Mar '07

27 Mar '07

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

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
