[opensuse] Kernel updates
by Roger Oberholtzer 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

Hello I know that this is a topic that gets endless questions. Perhaps because a mistake can be so problematic. Here goes mine: I am running an openSUSE 10.0 system with kernel 2.6.13-15.16-default. This is a rather recent security-fixed kernel. But still the 2.6.13 that came with 10.0. I am looking at trying a more recent kernel. Like kernel-default-2.6.22.5-4.1.i586.rpm, which is available from openSUSE's downloads. A few questions: 1) This contains all the various SUSE patches so it will (or should) fit in like the 2.6.13 kernel did? 2) Will this keep my current kernel? Meaning, can this rpm be removed allowing the original kernel to be used? 3) Are there any issues with glibc when going from 2.6.13 to 2.6.22? Or any other issues? I see that sysfsutils needs updating. I guess this is because of the disk name changes. However, I do not find any sysfsutils for 10.0 when searching openUSUE (http://software.opensuse.org/search) The same is true for irqbalance. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

[opensuse] SUSE 10.3 Beta 2 Repositories
by Robert Lewis 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

When installing 10.3 Beta 2 I ignored the offer to create the three repositories at install time. This was on purpose because it takes along time if one says yes, plus I am having keyboard/mice hang issues during install with this one machine. Can someone please list out the path to the three repositories so that I may point to them post install?

[opensuse] Networking question
by Art Fore 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

I am running Suse 10.2 on Dell latitude D820. I run WinXP under parallels and it is accessing the corporate network via eth0. I cannot login to the corporate network via Linux, but have an outside wireless connection via the wireless card. Thing is, I have to always enter these commands in super user terminal ifplugd -bfi eth1 route add default gw 192.168.11.1 route del default gw 10.18.32.1 ifconfig shows the following after the above eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:15:C5:BF:83:57 inet6 addr: fe80::215:c5ff:febf:8357/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:86151 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:14474 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:8401167 (8.0 Mb) TX bytes:2177839 (2.0 Mb) Interrupt:185 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:DE:18:05:FC inet addr:192.168.11.13 Bcast:192.168.11.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::218:deff:fe18:5fc/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:299718 errors:5129 dropped:11839 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3649 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:18646843 (17.7 Mb) TX bytes:2781760 (2.6 Mb) Interrupt:177 Base address:0xc000 Memory:ecfff000-ecffffff lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:3321 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3321 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:306663 (299.4 Kb) TX bytes:306663 (299.4 Kb) vnic0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:23:45:BE:EF inet addr:10.37.129.2 Bcast:10.37.129.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::201:23ff:fe45:beef/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:836 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:836 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:72586 (70.8 Kb) TX bytes:72586 (70.8 Kb) Even though eth0 is not showing an ip address, it is connected to the corporate network and I do get the proper ip address of 10.18.32.13 when I execute ipconfig in windows. It is connected to vnic0 via parallels. I tried adding ARGS_eth1="-abfI -u0 -d10" and a number variations thereof without success. Is there some way I could add the above commands to an existing script or how would I do it so this would occur on boot instead of having to do it manually everytime? (The reason I do this is that I cannot access my private email via the corporate network because of the proxy server which only allows port 80 access to the internet) Art -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ATA problem?
by James Hatridge 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

Hi all, I seem to be having odd problems. I see three problems with my system. #1 sometimes the bios do not find all three of my HDs (1xIDE 2x Sata). #2 sometimes the picture on the screen will stop with lines running left to right, when this happens the whole system locks up and I have to hard boot. #3 today for the first time while Linux was loading it stopped for about 60 seconds and then said "ATA-1 time out". It booted, but some programs were not there. I rebooted and it was OK. I hope this is a software problem, but I believe the hardware is about to break. Can anyone give me an idea about what to look at? BTW I'm running 10.1 on ASRock P4VM8 with 1gb mem, 1x80gb IDE, & 2x Sata 200gb HDs.

[opensuse] home partition is full
by Cristea Bogdan 28 Aug '07

My home partition is almost full althow the files I created are not so big. My guess is that applications have created their own files. How can I delete these files without affecting my system? -- Cristea Bogdan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Stuck Printer Queue
by Bruce Samhaber 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

Hi, I sometimes get a printer queue that is stuck. This seems to occur when I have to turn off the printer and back on because it has run out of paper or ink. I tmight be the printer that locks up first but it also seems to lock up the print queue. The fix that I use is to either reboot the CUPS print server or using YAST remove the printer then reinstall it. Is there an easier way to restart/reset the print queue?
