[opensuse] Trash icon on desktop is not working
by vendion＠charter.net 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

When I click on the trash icon on my desktop I get this error "Malformed URL trash:/" but I can open up Konqueror and type in the same url trash:/ and it works. I tried opening up the properties for the trash icon and copy and paste the url from Konqueror into the URL tab of the properties, but I still get the error. Whats even weirder is that this problem is only happing on my profile, everyone else is not having this problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kRadio problems
by John 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

Trying again.... I am trying to run KRadio (various versions, but snapshot_2006_11_12_r497-1.suse10.2.x86_64 at the moment), on Suse 10.2 x86_64 and it seems to install OK, and even startup OK, but when scanning for channels I get no signal. I have a Medion hybrid TV (Analog/DTV/FM) card based on the saa7134 chipset, detected as: pc:/home/john # dmesg|grep saa7134 saa7134[0]: found at 0000:07:09.0, rev: 1, irq: 90, latency: 32, mmio: 0xdf5ff000 saa7134[0]: subsystem: 16be:0003, board: Medion 7134 [card=12,autodetected] saa7134[0]: board init: gpio is 0 saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 00: be 16 03 00 54 20 1c 00 43 43 a9 1c 55 d2 b2 92 saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 10: 00 ff 86 0f ff 20 ff 00 01 50 32 79 01 3c ca 50 saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 20: 01 40 01 02 02 03 01 00 06 ff 00 1f 02 51 96 2b saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 30: a7 58 7a 1f 03 8e 84 5e da 7a 04 b3 05 87 b2 3c saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 40: ff 1d 00 c2 86 10 01 01 00 00 fd 79 44 9f c2 8f saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 50: ff ff ff ff ff ff 06 06 0f 00 0f 00 0f 00 0f 00 saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 60: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 70: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7134[0] Board has DVB-T saa7134[0] Tuner type is 63 tuner 0-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (saa7134[0]) saa7134[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2] saa7134[0]: registered device vbi0 saa7134[0]: registered device radio0 Has 2x aerial inputs, and have tried connecting to both and scanning.

Yeah, never got that... I tried the Safeboot option, but that did not help.

[opensuse] Gutenprint, CUPS and EPSON R2400
by Verner Kjærsgaard 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

Hi list, - in my SuSE10.2, I see that "gutenprint 5.0.0.1" is installed and marked not to be updated or changed in any way. - from the gutenprint website I see that the EPSON R2400 (and many, many others) is supported though gutenprint. - I can't seem to figure out, how to get my SuSE10.2 to support an EPSON R2400 as it does not appear in the list (in YaST) over printers available. - Should I just go and find a PPD file for the R2400 and proceed as normal with YaST/CUPS? - Would this be the correct procedure -and thus not break anything in my SuSE10.2? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] net-snmp, and the exec configuration directive
by Marlier, Ian 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

Hey, All -- Working on an opensuse 10.2 system, pretty much a standard install all around. I'm using this box to test snmpd configurations. I'm just using the standard net-snmp package from the repository. According to the documentation in /usr/share/doc/packages/net-snmp/, I should be able to add something like the following to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: exec .1.3.6.1.4.1.xxxx.yyyy echotest /bin/echo hello there (xxxx and yyyy represent arbitrary nodes in the tree -- basically, they're just more-or-less random integers, "12" or "365" or "8723" or...at least as I understand it.) Then, after restarting snmpd, I should be able to do this: snmpget -v 2c localhost -c public .1.3.6.1.4.1.xxxx.yyyy And see the output of the exec command above. But, that doesn't seem to be working. Specifically, I defined the following: exec .1.3.6.1.4.1.23.92 proclist /bin/ps But I get this: snmptest:/usr/share/doc/packages/net-snmp # snmpwalk -v 2c localhost -c studentu 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.92 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.23.92 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID snmptest:/usr/share/doc/packages/net-snmp # Anyone have any thoughts as to what might be going on? Is there something that I'm missing about the exec directive? Something specific to opensuse? A module that's missing from opensuse? Something else entirely?

Now what do I do from here? I'm pretty sure the data is all copied over, but is there a way I can be sure? You said something about using rsync, but I'm not familiar with that tool. And then, once that is done, how do I "add" the old drive into the RAID array.
