[opensuse] openXchange
by Bjarne Hansen 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

Was wondering if anyone had run into the problem of openXchange as setup default in opensuse, that contacts (using ldap and postgresql) are in the database but not showing up when doing a search?

[opensuse] Dual and Quad core processors
by Robert Lewis 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

I was thinking about buying a Q6600 processor that has four cores. Does anyone have htop running using this processor? Does htop show all four cores? Is the current kernel multi-threaded such that the end user gets any benefit if they purchase this processor? My laptop has dual core and I do see htop reporting that the both CPU's are being utilized.

[opensuse] php script not working in firefox
by Bogdan Cristea 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

I have a html page with a search box using a php script. However the search facility does not work, each time I press enter a new window appears asking to open or save the file *.php. Is there something else I need to install in order to have the php script working? -- Bogdan Cristea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Opensuse 10.2 ATI Drivers won't load DRI - no 3D
by David C. Rankin 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

Mates, On my Toshiba P35 laptop with the ati Radeon 9700 chipset and the latest drivers install via yast, there is no 3D and glxgears gives only 160 FPS. The fglrx rpms installed are: Rankin-P35a:/home/david # rpm -qa | grep fglrx x11-video-fglrxG01-8.36.5-7.1 ati-fglrxG01-kmp-default-8.36.5_2.6.18.8_0.3-2.1 Kernel Installed is: Rankin-P35a:/home/david # uname -r 2.6.22.3-ccj53-default The exact error shown when running glxgears is: 12:00 Rankin-P35a:~> glxgears Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". The xorg.conf is set to load dri and the video card option have dri enabled: Rankin-P35a:/home/david # grep dri /etc/X11/xorg.conf Load "dri" Option "no_dri" "no" The only errors shown in the log file is: Rankin-P35a:/home/david # grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (EE) fglrx(0): GART is not initialized, disabling DRI (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable I have searched exhaustively and I have not found an answer to this question. I have seen a number of posts related to the problem, but no solution. I would very much like to get 3D working, because without it, it seems like a waste of time to have the ati drivers loaded in the first place. I have gone to the ati web site and I am aware of using their install tool to create the latest 8.40 ati rpm for 10.2, but it seem that 3D ought to work with the current 8.36 rpm built by suse. Any help will be greatly appreciated. If you need more information, please do not hesitate to ask and I will be glad to post it! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] mount cifs via fstab
by Greg Freemyer 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

All, I have a few remote samba shares I want to mount from my desktop. I have not found the magic method yet. I looked in Yast - nothing, the opensuse wiki - nothing, google - lots but it does not seem to work on my box. FYI: Both the samba server and my desktop are opensuse 10.2 with updates applied. So is there a KDE tool to update fstab? Or do I do it manually, and if so what is the right syntax. I'm trying: //10.0.1.44/share /my_mnt cifs user="me",pass="my_pwd",noperm,dir_mode=0777,rw 0 0 and it fails. From Konquerer I can access smb://10.0.1.44/share with the above user/pwd so the basics should be right.

[opensuse] not able to start openoffice.org spadmin on opensuse 10.2
by Guido Pinkernell 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

Hi all, I recently sent this to the openoffice mailing list, with no response yet. Probably this has more to do with opensuse. Here we go: This problem occurs on my freshly installed openSUSE 10.2 x86-64 system with openoffice.org 2.2.1-43.1: I can't start spadmin for installing a printer. What happens is this: amilo:/usr/lib64/ooo-2.0/program # ./spadmin sh: paperconf: command not found Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 603: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_ initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed! Is there any way to have a printer installed? Thanks, Guido -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how to start wlan
by jdd 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

Hello, I'm probably dumb or not well awaiken :-). I use openSUSE 10.2 I have an ethernet card for internet link (fixed IP) I just plugin a pcmcia wifi (wlan) card seen as Ralink RT2500 802.11g cardbus miniPCI. I don't have any other wifi of my own, except a wifi cellular phone. I configured (partly at random) my wifi card on an other network (IP) than the eth card (also fixed IP) and then, I can't start the wifi network & the eth net. Only the eth net is started by rcnetworks start what may I do to have it start? It seems to start if _I remove the eth card_, but my cellular don't see it. I already used my wifi cellular with other installs, but I have no access point here. Can the wifi card work like an access point with only two wifi device present? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] compiz +emerald +suse 10.2, 10.3
by Art Fore 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

Started this email with a problem with compiz, but think I found the answer. When I would boot into suse level 5, I could no get the start menu or do anything else other than right-click, and log out. I would go to console session, the startx. Logout again, and do startx again, then everything seemed to work as it should. In ~.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh, I changed it from #! /bin/sh compiz --replace ccp & emerald --replace & #! /bin/sh emerald --replace & It now works from cold boot without having to logout etc. Without the emarald statement, the windows have no decoration at all, not even the close-minimize-maximize buttons. Also changed the NVIDIA drivers from 9639 to 100.14.11. KDE no longer locks up on exit as it did before and I get about a 2% increase in the glxgears fps noted below. I do have another question related though. Suse 10.2 system is AMD X64 X2 +3200 with Nvidia Gforce 7300 GT AGP graphic card. Doing glxgears, as it opens, I get about 6500 fps. I maximize it to full screen of 1680X1050 and get about 400 fps. Suse 10.3 system is AMD X64 X2 +4600 with Nvidia Gforce 7300 GT PciE X16 graphic card. Doing glxgears, as it opens, I get about 4500 fps. I maximize it to full screen of 1680X1050 and get about 290 fps. With 10.3 system I also tried Geforce 7600GS and got about the same thing. The question is, is it normal for the PCI Express X16 to be so much slower than the AGP8? I mean, the 7300 GT and 7600 GS are not the speediest cards on the block, but I would expect they would be closer thatn that.

[opensuse] Problem installing 10.3 beta2 with PATA & SATA DVDs
by Michael Cartmell 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

Hi, I just updated to 10.3/x86 beta2 from beta1 using the DVD ISO. Everything worked OK except for recognising the DVD during boot. I have one PATA DVD & one SATA DVD. The system can't boot from the SATA DVD. 10.3b2 boots OK from the PATA DVD but then fails to load the installation catalogue, gives me a message in red & then goes to the manual install. Checking the boot logs I see that it is trying to find the catalogue on /dev/sr0, the SATA DVD. I can proceed from that point by selecting the PATA DVD & every thing is OK from then on. In beta 1 the devices where /dev/hda (PATA) & /dev/sr0 (SATA) & I had no problem. This time they where /dev/sr1 (PATA) & /dev/sr0 (SATA). This is probably a bug report but I found the registration process to be somewhat intrusive in the amount of information required. Thanks for the best distro around.

[opensuse] Removing Gnome
by Fernando Costa 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

Hi all, When I initially installed openSUSE 10.2, I choose all the default settings, big mistake, after that I realized that the default desktop enviroment was GNOME and not KDE I as expected so I reinstalled choosing both desktop environments.... now i want to uninstall al the gnome desktop, so, is it sure doing that through YAST? or is it better to wait for openSUSE 10.3 and upgrade the system just with the KDE option?
