[opensuse] Extremely large fonts when connected to lcd tv
by Alistair M 07 Jun '07

07 Jun '07

Hi, I'm running OpenSUSE 10.2 with KDE, using a Matrox G550 graphics card. When I connect my system to a normal lcd monitor (resolution 1024 x 768) the display looks fine. But when I connect the same system to my 32" Loewe lcd tv the fonts look enormous! All applications look very large and unusable too as the fonts are so huge. Has anyone else experienced this problem before? Please help... Thank you, Alistair. _________________________________________________________________ Advertisement: Senior Management roles paying $80k+ Search now at www.seek.com.au http://a.ninemsn.com.au/b.aspx?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fninemsn%2Eexecutive%2Eseek%… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] smartctl and too high temperature?

-----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?

[opensuse] SUSE Laptop Now Setup with VMWare
by Kai Ponte 03 Jun '07

03 Jun '07

As some may recall, I got a new laptop a few weeks ago with Vista installed... http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/64&size=_original ...as I mentioned, I couldn't stand Vista. It is - IMO - worse than XP for usability. http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/2007/20070519_vista_register1.jpg.jpg http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/2007/20070519_vista_register2.jpg.jpg In any case, I went ahead and installed SUSE 10.2 and had a major issue with the system locking up. Loading the binary NVidia drivers fixed that and all is well... http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/2007/20070528_suse_desktop.jpg ...now the last thing I needed was XP to be loaded for those apps requiring it at work. Being a dual-core 2.x GHz processor with 2G RAM, this can handle VMWare no problem. So, I'm now done... http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/2007/20070530_suse_xp.jpg Onward! The only thing I notice with the laptop is the SD/MMC/SM/XD card reader on the front. It isn't enabled for some reason. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] system does not boot

Hello every body , I’m a newbie with Linux systems , so I hope if any on can help me , I’m in a big trouble ☹ I have a openSUSE 10.0 machine , I tried to install a rpm package that needs “lib.so.6(GBLIC 2.4) “ The installed version was GBLIC 2.3 , then I installed GBLIC 2.4 and this was the big mistake I did After system reboot , I got an error at booting , the system now can not boot up The error output is too much , I can not type it exactly but it looks like “INIT: Id “X” respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes” (this line repeated many times with X = 1,2,3,4,5,6 ) “/sbin/mingetty: relocation error :/ lib/tsl/lib.so.6:symbole _dl_out_of_memory version GBLIC_PRIVATE not defined in file Id-Linux.so.2 with link time reference” (this line repeated a lot also) Last line of the error is “No more processes in this run level” My question is, can I do something to remove GBLIC 2.4 so I can every thing back (using the rescue system for example) ---------- BR, Amr M.
