[opensuse] Replacement for gtkpod
by Philippe Andersson 29 May '07

29 May '07

Hello, After upgrading from 9.3 to 10.2, I noticed recently that the previously installed "gtkpod" application has been removed. Has it been moved somewhere else (Packman, Guru) ? If it's obsolete, any hint as to what the best replacement for it is ? I use KDE but don't object to Gnome apps, obviously. Also, I use my iPod for MP3s only (no iTunes). TIA Cheers. Bye. Ph.

Some old versions the second one was also bootable with some difference I don't remember. If that was an old suse version (9.x, for instance), and bought, you will also have the printed manual somewhere. I very much recomend you read it (the admin book). In any case, it will also be available as a file. - -- Saludos Carlos E.R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFGXA9otTMYHG2NR9URAiR9AJ9M57G0wfJNyanZ6RzJACWnSTsP0gCfcPMg 3TGtnNB64Xebf+gm/DZKJWI= =hszB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[opensuse] synchronizing with zenworks
by eddieleprince 29 May '07

29 May '07

I was wondering why does synchronizing with zenworks take so long when updating installation sources in YAST. Though I've never actually timed it, it seems to take anywhere between 15 to 30 mins. Is synchronization necessary and what are the downsides of not doing so?

[opensuse] USB to Parallel Converter Cable Question
by Adam Benner 29 May '07

29 May '07

Hello all, I hope this hasn't been answered elsewhere, I did not find it in my search of the archives. I recently purchased a usb to db25 female parallel printer cable so I could attach my HP LaserJet 6P to my new motherboard that has no parallel port. The problem occurs when I try to use the printer. Hopefully all relevant information: SuSE 10.1 uname -a: Linux phantasm 2.6.16.27-0.9-smp #1 SMP Tue Feb 13 09:35:18 UTC 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux dmesg output: ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: wakeup usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5 usb 1-3: new device found, idVendor=4348, idProduct=5584 usb 1-3: new device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0 usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 5 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x4348 pid 0x5584 dammed@phantasm:~> lsmod |grep usb usblp 30848 0 usb_storage 97344 1 usbcore 149288 6 usblp,cdc_acm,usb_storage,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd scsi_mod 163760 6 st,sr_mod,usb_storage,sg,libata,sd_mod ide_core 164996 4 usb_storage,ide_cd,amd74xx,ide_disk When I attempt to set up the printer with YaST, the printer module segfaults at around 1% of searching the driver database. The backtrace output is in the attached text file. When attempting to set up the printer manually, the following occurs: phantasm:~# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p hplaserjet6p -E -v usb:/dev/usblp0 -m /usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/HP-LaserJet_6P-hpijs.ppd lpadmin: add-printer (set model) failed: server-error-internal-error The cable was purchased from SFCables and comes with absolutely no useful documentation. Am I an idiot and missing something simple? Is there any hope? Should I attempt to return the usb to db25 and use one of those usb to Centronic adaptors? Thanks in advance to everyone. ____________________________________________________________________________________Sick sense of humor? Visit Yahoo!

[opensuse] how to burn my cpu?
by Eberhard Roloff 29 May '07

29 May '07

Hi, I am looking for an app that makes my CPU as hot as can be. This is to test various things that should make my PC silently running on a shoestring while staying stable as is. I googled, but only found cpuburn 1.4 While this works, it seems to be developed for PIII 450 machines. I have a rather modest machine by todays standards (P4, 2.8), but even starting multiple simultaneous instances of cpuburn never "really" challenge my cpu. Does anyone know of something more stressful that works on Linux? Thanks much and kind regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenSUSE locks up
by Sorin Peste 29 May '07

29 May '07

Hi, I am getting infrequent and seemingly random lock-ups on my openSUSE 10.2 - as in, nothing responds anymore (no ctrl+alt+backspace, nothing) and the only solution is a computer reboot. How do I go about diagnosing this problem? I am using KDE. Thanks, Sorin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
