[opensuse] Stuck with Beryl
by Bob Williams 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

In an experimental mood, I installed Beryl according to the instructions at http://en.opensuse.org/Beryl It went OK, except that all my windows lost their title bars. Having fiddled around a bit with the display settings, I decided to back out. So I reverted to the KDE window manager, uninstalled all the beryl packages using YaST, that is beryl-core beryl-manager beryl-plugins beryl-settings emerald emerald-themes aquamarine leaving compiz and xgl. Unfortunately, nothing's changed :( My desktops are still on the faces of a rotating cube, my windows have no title bars, and my theme has reverted to KDE-standard. This behaviour survives logging out/in and even rebooting. I've even deleted ~/.beryl Any suggestions, please? -- Bob openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, Kernel 2.6.18.8-0.3, KDE 3.5.6 r31.4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] I/O error on non-existing device???
by Daniel Bauer 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hello, in /var/log/messages I find tons of lines like: Jul 17 11:20:42 venus kernel: hdc: tray open Jul 17 11:20:42 venus kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 0 Jul 17 11:20:42 venus kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 0 for several sectors and also for hdd (and then many similar message pairs of only the first two lines (without the Buffer I/O line...)). What makes me wonder is, that (as far as I know)- there is no hdc nor hdd in my computer. At least not in /etc/fstab and also not when looking at kdsikfree. With googling I only found some hints about defective CDs or DVDs, but there are no CD's or DVD's inserted, nor have they been since last reboot. Can somebody tell me what's gong on here? Thanks for hints.

[opensuse] MySQL encryption agent
by Stuart Murray-Smith 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Greetings list openSuSe 10.2 MySQL 5.0.26 How can I establish what the standard encryption agent(s) is (are) for MySQL? SELECT ENCRYPT('password'), PASSWORD('password'), MD5('password'); generates a different encrypted password to what: select * from user; does, and I think this is why my database lookups aren't auth'ing. How would I go about changing the standard encryption agent if I could?

[opensuse] Lost firewall logging
by Patrick Shanahan 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

openSUSE 10.1 x86_64 kde release 3.5.7 "release 56.1" SuSEfirewall2-3.4_SVNr142-5 yast2-firewall-2.13.7-9 2.6.18.8-396-default FW_LOG_DROP_CRIT="yes" FW_LOG_DROP_ALL="no" FW_LOG_ACCEPT_CRIT="yes" FW_LOG_ACCEPT_ALL="yes" FW_LOG_LIMIT="no" FW_LOG="" After a kde* update three days ago, I expierenced and odd system snafu. My home partition displayed very-low/zero free space. Two X restarts (init 3 -> 5 -> 3 -> 5) with checking free space not solving the problem and being unable to locate a large new file (25gb home partition), I init'ed to level 1 where the partition did show properly, ~50% usage. Returning to runlevel 5, syslog-ng did not restart, discovered upon checking the morning after log reports. I manually restarted syslog-ng. Now all appears normal and good *except* there is no firewall logging. Restarting the firewall, rcSuSEfirewall2, made no difference. I have checked the parameters related to logging and all are default. Also changing for more verbose logging via yast2 makes no difference. QUESTION: Where/how do I get my firewall logging back? -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDETV
by Billie Erin Walsh 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

All of a sudden KDETV is acting up. It starts just fine then all of a sudden the computer does something like change users. Goes to a log in screen. It started a couple weeks ago but it's not something I use everyday so I just been playing around. Not the end of the world but annoying.Any ideas? -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Adobe flash player updates in opensuse repo
by Sunny 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hi, I just read this slashdot article: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/07/16/156233&from=rss Checking on Adobe site, they have linux version release on July 10 - ver. 9.0.48.0. On my 10.2 installation I have added the mozilla repository at: <http://software.opensuse.org/download/mozilla/openSUSE_10.2/> But the version there is rather old: 9.0.31.0, which is from sometime January 2007. Is there some other repository, which keeps current with the latest versions of flash player? I would prefer to install package specifically build for opensuse, than the generic one from adobe's site.

[opensuse] Email, suse, and ipv6 name resolution curiosity.
by Carlos E. R. 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Last Tuesday I got a delay notice triggered by an email I sent to the list. That's unimportant, but while looking at it I saw this header: Received-SPF: none (Address does not pass the Sender Policy Framework) SPF=HELO; sender=lists4.suse.de; remoteip=::ffff:195.135.221.135; remotehost=lists4.suse.de; helo=lists4.suse.de; receiver=exa.billmerriam.com; I noticed the ipv6 address, and I was curious to check who it was: cer@nimrodel:~> host "::ffff:195.135.221.135" Host 7.8.d.d.7.8.3.c.f.f.f.f.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) Huh? I then checked the ipv4 part: cer@nimrodel:~> host 195.135.221.135 135.221.135.195.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer lists4.suse.de. Clearly the address does exist. Now, who/what is to blame about the ipv6 counterpart? Guesses: - Linux's 'host' program is not yet ipv6 aware. - Linux's 'named' daemon is not yet ipv6 aware, or not configured properly - Ditto dns servers worldwide, or at suse, not yet ipv6 aware or not configured properly - Human (ie, my) error. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFGl+RDtTMYHG2NR9URAsV9AJ90eajQwzA7R+7DnnCPHt7sZJkNagCgiTTx 27b6CjJkuD9QY8LxSkaQ1Iw= =ncLz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to auto-delete trash
by Kai Ponte 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

One of the (few) things I miss about wintendo is the auto-delete of trash. I'll often find my disk is getting full and have to go deleting the trash can. I've looked and cannot find any method that makes sense to me. Is there a way to have the trash auto-delete after it reaches x% of the total free disk space? I see cron jobs to delete every x time period. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] login question.
by Giorgos 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Hi! :-) Does someone know, how can I login as su (root)? I'm autologging in as normal user, and when I have to do administrative tasks (eg. configuring with yast), opensuse asking me, my pwd. These days, I have to install some devices and their drivers, so I have to copy-paste files to restrictive directories. Not surprisingly, those options (eg. pasting files) are greyed-out and not functional. However, working with bash is always available. Once I'm giving my pwd (and returning to # mode), I can complete my work without any problems or pwd reconfirmations. I'm just wondering if there is a similar way, for working with graphical shell (either with Gnome (which I'm using) or any other), for copy-pasting. I had to do so much keyboarding from the DOS era! :-) THANKS!!! Giorgos. :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I saw that gfortran is now working instead g77 but I saw that some people have trouble to migrate de source code for compiling well in gfortran. I have not much experience on compiling nor programming. I just administer a server that a user wanna compile a program called Corsika and its code is so old. And a lot big. He told me that could be very worse to migrate the code. I saw that I can use the compat-g77 package, but I could not find the package. Do U know where can I download it?
