Any attempt causes the system to lock up solid to the point that I'm forced to hold the power button down to get the system back. Unfortunately, logging out causes this to happen (I can hibernate, perhaps strangely). Also, I find that running VMWare is highly suspect. It used to work fine, but now, it will work for a while, then just hangs the entire system (power button again) for no predictable reason. Of course, I don't know what caused this, but I've been successful with 64bit before (my desktop runs 9.3 64 bit and is just dandy). However, something in 10.2, or 64bit, or perhaps dual core, really doesn't seem right for me. BTW, the system I have (and therefore recommend that Linux users stay away from!) is a Toshiba Satellite A105 4324.

The compiz-fusion for 10.3 are in cyberorg SUSEFactory repository instead of 10.2. 10.2 versions have too many dependency problems. The NVIDIA drivers show up in Yast now, but they are for the wrong kernel version. I did install the NVIDIA 100.14.11 driver with no problem. Everything worked upto the sudo nvidia-xconfig –composite –allow-glx-with-composite –render-accel – add-argb-glx-visuals It comes back with invalid option -composite. Guess it is because of not having the susefied nvidia drivers for 10.3. Maybe in the near future.

[opensuse] Krdc (or kdm) problems
by Radule Soskic 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

I use krdc (Xvnc) to log in to remote desktop machine. Recently, I noticed that it stopped working. After I get remote login screen and enter userid and password, I get an error message saying that the session is interrupted by remote VNC server. After that, the session breaks. It seems that this started to happen only after the latest kde update to version 3.5.7-64.1, but I am not sure, since I update kde more frequently then I login remotely :-) I experimented a little and found out that when I change login manager on the remote machine from kdm to xdm everything works fine again. This makes me beleive that the problem is with the newest kdm. Also, it seems that the problem is easy to reproduce - I tried it on several machines with the same result. Is there anybody with the same experience or it is just me? I couldn't find any references on this list nor on google. I am not happy with changing the default login manager just to be able to login remotely. Is there another known workaround for this problem?

[opensuse] Mouse problem

I had a power outage yesterday which caused my mouse to have a 3-5 second delay in moving and responding to a keypress. I did a repair using the CD but this did not help. I noticed that the mouse Nice was set to -5. I wonder if someone could check to see if this is a normal setting for the mouse? I have Suse 10.2. Thanks for any help you can offer.

[opensuse] 64bit gone sour, downgrade to 32bit, how?
by kbboykin＠comcast.net 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

Hello All, The title kinda sez it all. I installed openSuSE 64 bit on a "homebrew" with a 3.2 GHz P4 ECS P4M800PRO-M MB with 2 GB of ram, 80 G SATA drive. It was installed as dualboot witth Vista Home premium. I have used SuSE since 6.4 off and on and used it heavily from 7.1 to 9.3. Then work forced me back to learn WinXP Pro and now Vista. I have installed 10.0, 10.2 on other machines prior to installing 10.2 default on this box. Originally I was using the on-board Realtek NIC, wired. I rarely used 10.2 and it sailed along effortless. I moved to a new residence and had to go wireless. My researched suggested RaLink RT2561 as compatible with both Linux and Vista, so I bought a card based on that chipset. Vista worked right away. It took some time to get it working under Linux. Then on Friday, I decided to try Linspire 2.0 LiveCD which failed on this box. Every since then the RaLink wireless PCI appears removed to the Linux network under 10.2. If I run lspci -v the card is there, so it is seen by the kernel. I decided to go with driverloader and it helps but no cigar. A long story to ask this simple question. I want to go back to 32 bit. How? Wipe it clean and start from scratch, realizing I still will have the Ralink PCI card (RT61), and can the 64bit be downgraded to 32 bit? Much help appreciated. If this has already been answered in a thread somewhere, please forgive me.

Funny, I have x86_64 SMP 4200+ Dual and run 32bit Firefox and modules w/o any problem. The problem is when running 64bit Firefox and 32bit modules. I have not found any 32bit software that causes any problem, when used properly, ie: firefox. iianm, x86_64 is backward compatable with x86_32, must be anyway. You say you are running 32bit on a 64bit arch (I don't know why, it's like having 4GB of memory and leaving 2GB in the desk drawer. ~~~~~~ Only because I've read that there is more 32 bit software written out there and have read the problems *other* folks have been having on the 64 bit systems, but either or is fine with me.

[opensuse] Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter and NetworkManager
by Sam Preston 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Hi all, I just purchased a Toshiba Satellite laptop (A215-S4807), and am dual-booting Vista and OpenSUSE 10.2. The laptop has an Atheros AR5007EG wireless NIC. After searching around, I tried installing the ndiswrapper module and the windows drivers, and 'ndiswrapper -l' states that everything is okay. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the connection to work. I'm new to setting up a wireless connetion in linux, so I'm not sure if the driver isn't working correctly, or if I'm just not setting up the connection correctly. 'iwconfig' shows wlan0, so I try: >iwconfig wlan0 essid "my_network_name" after which 'iwconfig wlan0' shows signal strength, etc. I then try: >ifconfig wlan0 up >ifup wlan0 I get a warning that NetworkManager is being notified to set up the DHCP connection, but I don't seem to actually connect -- I can open up a browser and I just get a 'page not found' error. What should I be doing to test this connection? Also, the NetworkManager icon in the system tray still says that there is a connection to eth0, not wlan0.

I know, it sounds a bit like a pub with no beer, but.... I've installed VMWare on my OpenSuse 10.2 and it went up like a charm. I have two ethernet cards on the machine, and want to give one to the host and oune to the guest via bridging. Everything is fine and works as expected if I bring the interface up manually via ifconfig eth1 up on the command line. If I issue an ifup eth1 it complains that it can find no configuration for the interface. Is there a canonical way of bringing it up so that it can survive to a restart?

Umount /path/to/mount says "not mounted" but i can not get into the "desktop". I have not done any updates as zmd is broken in SP1 and SP1 was installed over a month ago and it has worked since then. Not sure how to get the login screen back > If you do install SAMBA - which is what you use to get into wintendo shares - you will need to mount them either through the archaic mount command (can someone PLEASE provide an easy GUI for this??) or through Konqueror. At work I mount shares all the time. I use the following protocol in Konqueror... smb://domain/username@ip_address/share. For example, to load my main (XP) desktop, I'd type: smb://vims/e5521@199.300.195.990/C$ It then asks me for my password and I'm in.

I really want to try 64 bit again in the future. I dont know enough about it to tell the difference right now. I don't run a lot of media apps or high graphics apps. BTW, i "re-installed - ran make, make install for the RT61- one more time and it came back. Something was suddenly interfering with it. I am now responding o this email under 10.2 using the ralink card so Phillip appears to be right. I am just no sure if down the road, I will encounter issues. I know everyone has an opinion, so let's not go there. I just think I want to go back to 32 bit, as most of my experience has been with it. I am not a techie by training, I am a physician, so I'm not as savvy as most. Again, thanks to all. --Keith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Thanks, since I don't have much to loose, I agree, go back to clean install of 32 bit. I know I can use atheros card without problem. I already have a box with a card based on it. I choose the ralink for reported 64 bit usage.
