[opensuse] Another back-up question - Over & over again
by Bob S 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hello SuSE people, I have a new sata hard drive that is failing. I made a complete back-up using kdar of the drive. (To a separate spare drive) I have a dma number to return the drive. They will either replace it or repair it. When they get it they will destroy all data on the drive and when I receive it back it will be blank. No partitions, nothing. My question is: when I put the drive into service again will the backup restore everything? There were quite a few partitions on the drive. (primary & extended) I am thinking -NO. That I will have to reformat the drive and re-create the partitions as they were originally before I can restore the data. Am I correct in this assumption? I am pretty familiar with the YAST partitioner tool but wonder how I recreate the original partitions exactly? Or is it really necessary? I assume that there are no backup programs that actually re-create an entire blank drive.

[opensuse] Ooffice startup error
by Dr Gavin Tabor 01 May '07

01 May '07

Dear All, I've recently installed OpenSUSE 10.2. Everything now works ... sort of ... except Open Office. When I start that (as an ordinary user) I get the following error: <gavin@lutoslawski>ooffice /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/javaldx: /opt/foam/OpenFOAM/linux/gcc-3.4.3/lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6) /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/pagein: /opt/foam/OpenFOAM/linux/gcc-3.4.3/lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6) /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/soffice.bin: /opt/foam/OpenFOAM/linux/gcc-3.4.3/lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6) ** (process:8478): WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit ... Surprisingly, if I start ooffice when logged on as root, it starts fine. Any suggestions about what I might be doing wrong with this?

by James Hatridge 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hi all, After turning off PHP global variables this line will no longer work. <form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>"> When I use the form the source looks like this: <form method="post" action=""> So, the problem is $PHP_SELF. Can someone tell me what to use instead? Thanks!

[opensuse] UNKNOWN FORMAT FOR JPEGS IN KONQUEROR
by Chris & Steve 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hi guys, I am new to this community help thing, so please bare with me... I can't view jpegs in Konqueror. It does not recognize the format. I think I accidentally changed the setting for jpegs in Konqueror, but I am not sure exactly what it was. I can view jpegs in digicam, but not in konqueror. When I do a properties in konqueror, for "format" it is unknown. I think it is looking at the jpegs as a text document. What settings do I need to change back for konqueror to see my jpegs as photos again, instead of text documents ? -Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how to enable figer print reader?
by Peter Van Lone 01 May '07

01 May '07

My HP nw8440 laptop has a fingerprint reader. My compatriots who also have this device (and are running vista) have easily been able to configure this such that when prompted to login, they simply swipe their finger. How to go about this, with SLED 10 or OpenSuse 10.1? Peter -- "Do not be idolatrous or bound to any doctrine, theory or ideology, even Buddhist ones.

[opensuse] still having problems
by Carl Spitzer 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

I can not subscribe even under a new address. Last time I posted to the list but only received off list replies. So again I try to subscribe via two different addresses. This is now the fourth time. What is wrong with the list host. At the very list a new address on a different host should be able to subscribe even if something has gone wrong on the original. I can only conclude there is a hidden setting for no mail and it has erroneously been set to stop me from receiving email. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/ | \ /|\ || |\ / |~~\ /~~\ /~~| //~~\ | \ / | \ || | X |__/| || |( `--. |__ | | \| \_/ / \ | \ \__/ \__| \\__/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] This is getting silly
by Carl Spitzer 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

I first try to resubscribe, having no message that I am bouncing. Second I write both webmasters for opensuse and myrealbox. Still no results. What is wrong here? Between the two parts of Novell that I can not use a Novell project MyRealBox now hosted by Messaging ARchetects, to get mail from a Novell list about Suse. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/ | \ /|\ || |\ / |~~\ /~~\ /~~| //~~\ | \ / | \ || | X |__/| || |( `--. |__ | | \| \_/ / \ | \ \__/ \__| \\__/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello, Is there a simple way to lock accounts with 'n' number of failed attempts without using pam? Possibly for ssh logins and terminal logins also. Many thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Upgrade OpenSuSE 10.2 with latest kernel 2.6.21 (because hpt366 module crashed with 2.6.18)
by Jörg Spilker 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

Hello, i recently bought a Highpoint RocketRaid 133 PATA Adapter. The adapter is equipped with 4 single disks (no RAID configuration). Unfortunately the hpt366 driver crashed after scanning the devices. I tried to download the latest kernel for OpenSuSE 10.2 from /download/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_10.2 but installing the kernel fails because of the depandency problems: error: Failed dependencies: perl-Bootloader >= 0.4.14 is needed by kernel-default-2.6.21-32.1.i586 apparmor-profiles <= 2.0.1 conflicts with kernel-default-2.6.21-32.1.i586 apparmor-parser <= 2.0.1 conflicts with kernel-default-2.6.21-32.1.i586 Are there any repositories containing newer version of the mentioned packages (in factory ?) Or is there a better way to update the hpt driver? Greetings, Jörg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
