[opensuse] Problem with kmail composer
by Adam Jimerson 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

I have Kmail 1.9.7 installed on my openSUSE 10.2 box, when I am writing a message with kmail and I get to the end of a line I can tell that wordwrap is working but composer only moves the slider bar half way so it cuts off some of the text at the start of the line. Is this something that can be fixed by playing around with Kmails settings?

[opensuse] Filesystem becomes read-only
by Tim Donnelly 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

I am using Suse 10.2 on two different machines. One is a new Dell Poweredge 2970, the other is an older (2002) "no-name" server. Both have experienced a strange and severe problem since I installed Suse. Basically the file system is put into a read-only state. While the OS and all apps are still running and I can log in a view files/logs etc. nothing can write to the disks. Obviously this causes all kinds of problems. The only way to get the filesystem into a more interactive state is a hard reboot. The first two times this occurred, there were messages in the /var/log/messages file relating to megasas, however as soon as the system was restarted, these warnings disappeared. I believe the file was not actually written to the disk when the system freaked out so once logging resumed those entries were lost. The messages are somewhat similar to these that I found via a Google search: sd 1:2:0:0: megasas: RESET -286287 cmd=8a megasas: [ 0]waiting for 12 commands to complete megasas: [ 5]waiting for 12 commands to complete megasas: [10]waiting for 12 commands to complete megasas: [15]waiting for 12 commands to complete ... megasas: [170]waiting for 12 commands to complete megasas: [175]waiting for 12 commands to complete megasas: failed to do reset sd 1:2:0:0: megasas: RESET -286287 cmd=8a megasas: cannot recover from previous reset failures sd 1:2:0:0: megasas: RESET -286287 cmd=8a megasas: cannot recover from previous reset failures sd 1:2:0:0: scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery Saturday the problem happened on the Dell server, although this time there is no mention of megasas in the logs files. A search of this list did not find any reference to megasas and all too many unrelated results for a read-only filesystem :).

[opensuse] Is this a bug of SUSE? Cannot load autoyast profile from harddisk,
by Da Shuang He 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

I make a bootable disk, and I can start to install the SUSE, but when it tries to find the autoyast file, it can't find it, and I write the kernel parameter like this : title SUSE 10 Installation root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/linux root=/dev/sda1 ramdisk_size=8192 install=hd://sda1/SUSE autoyast=device://sda1/autoinst.xml splash=silent showopts initrd /boot/initrd When I try autoyast=device://sda1/autoinst.xml, the error is , "An error occurred while fetching the profile: File /tmp/Yast2-02878-KeDBUh/tmp_mount/autoinst.xml cannot be found" And when I use file:///autoinst.xml and default, the error is, "An error occurred while fetching the profile: Reading file on /var/adm/mount//autoinst.xml failed. Reading file on /autoinst.xml failed. Reading file on CD failed. Path /tmp/Yast2-02878-KeDBUh/tmp_mount/autoinst.xml" And when I try to use hd://sda1/autoinst.xml It tells me hd is unknown protocol, Can someone tell how should I write the parameter for autoyast, or do you know somebody else can help me on this ? Or this is a bug of SUSE? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I used to have this hard drive in a different machine, but now I updgraded to a faster processor. The sound didn't work then either. I'm not gonna spend the money on a nice sound card for this box, because it mainly acts as a server for my lan, but it would be nice to be able to review some of the mp3's the various users upload to it. It's not something I absolutely need, but it would be nice.
