[opensuse] suspend2disk and nvidia driver
by Dmitry 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hello. I have some problems with suspend2disk and 'nvidia' driver. System hangs after resume. (For a long time I've used 'nv' driver and hibernate worked fine.) I tried to use System : OpenSuse 10.2 (x86) Kernel : 2.6.18.2-34-default NVidia driver : 1.0-9755 video : GeForce 6800 (PCI-E) I've set NvAGP option to 1 in xorg.conf. 'lsmod | grep agp' shows only 'agpgart' module. For suspend2 disk I use command 'powersave -U'. Is it any way to use suspend2disk with nvidia driver without suspend2 kernel patch? -- WBR, Dmitry. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I have a suse 10.2 joined to a Windows 2003 Domain and my Domain user can logon and I can work as well but I can't mount peripherials (CD, DVD; USB Keys....) because by default HAL seems to ignore the existance of my user; the exact error is: rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unser)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal".

[opensuse] KDE4 in OpenSuSE 10.3 alpha/beta?
by Mohammad Bhuyan 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hi, Do I get KDE4 (If KDE is chosen as my DE during installation) as default installation with OpenSUSE 10.3 Alpha / Beta release? If not, can I install and make KDE4 as my default DE? Or any suggestion regarding getting latest OpenSUSE with KDE4 installed.

[opensuse] Printing Problems through D-Link Router
by Don Raboud 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hi all, I recently got a new computer (openSUSE 10.2, x86_64, fully patched) which does not have a parallel port. However I have an old HP Laserjet 4M (old, but works well) which only has a parallel port connection. This is at home, and I have a small D-Link DI-704P router which has a built in parallel port for sharing a printer - exactly what I would like to do here. After a rather frustrating bit of time I sort of have the printer working. I set it up as a remote LPD server (router address 192.168.0.1) with queue "lp". This "sort of" works in that the test pages (from CUPS and YaST) print just fine, but the document I wanted to print wouldn't. By trial and error I discovered that some documents will print, however some won't. For example, kwrite will print a text file (/etc/fstab for example) just fine, and postscript and pdf files generated (through CUPS) from this file using kwrite also print fine (from acrobat for example). However, openoffice writer with a simple text file will not print (the lights on the printer blink for a few seconds but then stop and no paper comes out). Similarly a pdf generated in openoffice writer from a simple text file does not print. Other pdf files (generated in Kile for example) seem to print OK. So, not all postscript of pdf files are created equally. However, I know very little about the format of postscript and pdf files and how these differences could affect essentially just the data passing through the router. (These files print just fine with this printer on another machine with a parallel port so I know the printer works.) I've looked at the logs in the router and the only messages related to printing are pairs of messages like Printing jobs started from <name of machine> Printing job finished with no indications of any errors. I checked the D-Link web site and there are no firmware upgrade for this router, and all of the support seems to be windows based. I've tried several different ppd files for this printer (though not all) and they each show the same behavior. I'm not sure what else to try and am looking for some suggestions (wild guesses also accepted). I hope someone here can shed some light on this for me. (I could always get a pci card with a parallel port I suppose, so if I don't get this to work that is probably what I will do, but of course I would like to figure this out. ) -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 10.2 SAX/8600GT Strange Problem
by Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hi, I have just assembled new PC with Intel Core2 Duo, Gigabyte m/b, Intel P35 Chipset, and Asus 8600GT/512MB PCIe video card. Software: SuSE 10.2 with latest kernel update, latest nvidia driver from its web site installed manually ("modprobe nvidia" works) However, neither "sax2" neither "sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia" do not work as expected - sax2 ALWAYS switch to framebuffer mode. I have replaced video card with MSI 8600GT, installed it into another PCIe slot, problem still exists. Strange enogh, since lspci DOES lists this video card. Additionally, Windoze works on this PC. Anyone can explain me what went wrong? Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] domain and email forwarding
by Dave Howorth 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

I have a domain that I use to forward email. So I'm subscribed to this list as dave(a)howorth.org.uk and it is forwarded to my real ISP. The company that provides this service has decided to try to get extra money for the same service so I'm looking for somewhere else. They also host the DNS for that domain and a few others and provide web forwarding as well, though I don't use that in earnest. Can anybody recommend any company in the UK or Europe that provides these services, speak English and are trustworthy? Or how much of this could I do for myself? Are there any good howtos?

[opensuse] multiple network configuration
by Thierry de Coulon 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hello, I'm running 10.2 on a Thinkpad X60. I've setup the network to *not* use networkmanager. I've setup the wired network and the wifi card to use fixed IPs because that's what I am using on my network. As obviously I could not get both cards to run at the same time (it seems this should be feasible if I understand right but it did not work), so I've created two scripts than either turn the wired eth0 card off and the wifi card eth1 on, or the other way round, then two icons in kicker, all that remains is to enter the root password to let them run. This setup works fine for me (provided I remember to use the slider that locks the wifi off of course, I always forget that one). Now, my problem is this: I will soon be back at work, where I can hook myself on a wireless network that uses DHCP *and* requires me to use the right DNS values. Now: - is it possible to easily specify several wifi configurations, if possible including DNS values? Mac OS X does do that, you can save several configs and load the one you need here or there. Do we have anything approaching? - should I go for a bunch of scripts that would ifconfig everything each time I turn a network device on (if I remember correctly I should be able to use ifconfig to setup IP or DHCP, and route to add the gateway. I don't know if I can change the gateway "on the fly" however). Anyone has experience with such stuff?
