[opensuse] How toooo

I ran rpm -Va and I got back a listing of unsatisfied dependencies for finger-1-39.1: netcfg is this information stored in the rpm data base and there was no intall process because of dependencies. if so what directory do I put the rpm in along with it dependancy file before I install it. I want to install using rpm my YaST2 is having a problem also.... cliffj _________________________________________________________________ http://newlivehotmail.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I love > being able to use rug to update stuff from the command line - Thanks for the answer. Are you using only the patch management or the entire Linux Management suite? Because, with a local yum server, you could already update stuff with rug from the command line without having to install another software.

[opensuse] yast online update
by Dave Howorth 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

I'm having trouble understanding YaST Online Update in Suse 10.2. There are various aspects I don't understand and I'm having trouble finding the appropriate docs (probably through stupidity). The Help button says "Refer to the manual for details". I've looked through the "openSUSE Documentation Reference" - specifically II.3 Online Update - but it doesn't give much detail. Is there some other documentation I've missed? One aspect I don't understand is the meaning of the symbol consisting of a white box followed by a grey tick. This doesn't appear in the list of symbols on the help menu and the symbols aren't listed in the manual I've looked at. For example, timezone or wxGTK - the available and installed version are the same, so what are the patches? Another aspect is why some patches are shown with a white triangle and white box with a black tick when the packages themselves have a black triangle with a green and white Z (e.g. krb5). Other patches for packages marked in this way are themselves marked with a white triangle and a green and white Z (e.g. python). What's the difference? The final aspect is specific to gtk2. There is a patch for gtk2, which I have installed. Why can't I see a matching patch to gtk2-debuginfo? There's a version conflict. Am I misunderstanding something or is this a bug?

[opensuse] New Samba acting up
by Anders Norrbring 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hiya.. I got a new Samba for my SUSE 10.1 x86_64 by automatic update last night, and now all of a sudden my Vista workstation won't connect to the shares automatically. I have the machine as a domain controller with LDAP backend, and it's been working flawless until the new update to samba-3.0.22-13.32. My log.smbd shows this as the workstation logs in, and asks for username/password, which it has NEVER done before: [2007/07/20 10:31:25, 0] smbd/server.c:main(805) smbd version 3.0.22-13.32-1354-SUSE-CODE10 started.

Next attempt was: net use * \\beata\firman /U:NORRBRING\anders Then it asked for password, and I hit <enter> and got connected to the share. Any ideas on all of this?

[opensuse] openSUSE 10.2 Update package store location?
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hi, I would like to reload the entire system from scratch but do not want to have to re-download all the patches I have already downloaded. What I would like to know, is where openSUSE stores its updates and how those same updates can be used again. What would I need to do to have them stored in a different location? I ask this as I want to add a 2ndry HDD into my system and use it as an install source. I would think that all I would need to do is copy the DVD into a partition on the new HDD and cut and paste the updates that I have already downloaded and applied. Comments or should I raise an RFE? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
