[opensuse] computer slows down considerably after several hours
by Cristea Bogdan 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

When I launch some computing intensive application into background (in my case is a Matlab simulation) at the beginning I can use my computer normally (doing tasks as typing or debugging), but after several hours of usage it slows down considerably. I have an AMD64 dual core processor and Matlab uses only one core, so I don't expect to have such a behavior. Is there an explanation or a way to solve this issue? -- Bogdan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Ftp cron job stopped working
by Brandon Carl 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

I'm running an opensuse 10.2 machine with a cron job that ftps to my webserver and downloads several backup files that are created four times daily. Here is the content of the .sh file that runs: #!/bin/sh HOST='web170.ixwebhosting.com' USER='*REMOVED*' PASSWD='*REMOVED*' ftp -n $HOST <<SCRIPT user $USER $PASSWD binary lcd /home/spleeyah/wmbs/wmbs.spleeyah.com/backup/ cd /wmbs.spleeyah.com/backup/ prompt mget * quit SCRIPT exit 0 Basically what it does is connects to the ftp server, goes to the "backup" directory where there are several .tar.gz files, and downloads them all. I couldn't find a way to ftp just the new ones, so I set it to download them all. There are 548 files as of now, so maybe that's not such a good idea now that I think about it. Maybe the itense bandwidth could kill my cronjob? Backups on my webserver are done 4 times a day, and this cronjob is 15 minutes after the start of the webserver cron, which usually lasts about 2 minutes, average. Here is the contents of my crontab: 15 0,6,12,18 * * * sh /home/spleeyah/sh/ftp_wmbs_database_backup.sh > /home/spleeyah/wmbs/wmbs.spleeyah.com/backup/ftp_mysql_backup.log And, finally, the output of the cronjob that gets e-mailed to me: ftp: Name or service not known So, I don't know what caused this to stop working, because it was working wonders before.

Ok. So I had a working opensuse 10.2 a week ago with everything from the install dvd. Then i added the attached list of repos and updated my system. As the update was completed i realised i have no removable devices. No error shown, nothing. When i insert a cd/dvd nothing happens and it is not displayed in sysinfo:/ . Even so my k3b says that there are no cd/dvd devices. I have 1 cd-rw and 1 dvd-rw. I have been usinf them since suse 10 with no problem at all. Hope i`ve explained it now :) .

[opensuse] Using Yast with Accessibility support apps such as Orca in Gnome.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Hello, This is aimed at any SuSE developers on the list that may have some input into the development of Yast either directly or indirectly. Firstly, let me introduce my self. I am a blind user of SuSE 10.2. I use an application that is now included in Gnome called Orca to read the screen using Synthesized speech. This gives me access to the majority of applications written for the Gnome desktop however as KDE is not QT based and Yast is written for this window manager I can not access the graphical version using Orca. Sorry. My description is probably not very clear. See a paragraph sent to me by one of the main developers in the AT-SPI accessibility field below. In short, it sounds like a reasonable work around can be found to this issue and the Orca developers are willing to work with the SuSE developers on this but their not sure who to talk to to get the ball roling. Paragraph extract: "I understand the challenge with Novell and Yast. Did your previous conversations include looking at a bridge between the Qt accessibility work at AT-SPI (or now more specifically the new Python layer developed for Accerciser)? That seems to me to be the most fruitful path forward, involving the smallest amount of engineering work. I know Willie is interested in exploring that path. If you have names of folks at Novell..." Willy is the product lead on the Orca team. As always, any pointers or suggestions welcome.

[opensuse] No cd/dvd after kde update
by Yavor Ivanov 20 Aug '07

Hello all. I`m using OpenSuSE 10.2 and I have a strange problem since I updated my KDE with all of the latest updates from the official repos. Now I don`t have any removable device and when i insert a floppy, cd/dvd disk it is not recognized and not mounted. K3B says no cd writing device found. I have updated the kernel since i feared that the automount function has damaged but still nothing. Can you help me on this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problems with NFS and Amarok on laptop.
by Robert Smits 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

I collect old time radio programs and store the main collection on a 320GB sata drive on my desktop computer. I export the sound directories with nfs, so that I can connect to my sound files either from my laptop or my wife's desktop. The desktops, as well as the laptop are running opensuse 10.2. All the computers are behind a Linksys router, so all the SuSE firewalls are turned off. The laptop needs to connect to nfs directories both at work and at home, as well as changing wireless connection settings, so the settings are switched with scmp and the wireless card settings are made with ifup, not Network Manager (because Network Manager can't deal with changing nfs connections). The symptom I notice is that frequently amarok will go into a state where it appears to be trying to access the database of files and won't play the next track, won't allow you to select any functions, etc, until it's done its thing. While this is occurring I also cannot see my network connections in Konqueror - just the little symbol that it's trying to load them is spinning. Even after wiping the database in amarok and telling it not to look at network connections for my sound files, this behaviour continues. I'm trying to figure out if this is an amarok problem or an nfs problem, or a little of both. I know amarok has issues with sqlite for larger databases but I haven't been able to get it to switch to mysql. But I suspect the real problem is my nfs connections are being dropped and not re-connected again. Some one like to point me through the minefield?

[opensuse] Is it wise to do update all from 10.2 from Packman, Guru, Xorg7.2 etc?
by d_garbage 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Hello OpenSuse community, I recently came across a discussion in the archives about the problems of too generally updating a distro from non-official sources. In the past I wasn't aware of this and did regular "update all" in Smart with Packman, Guru, and Xorg7.2 repos enabled. In a long time the only breakage I *appeared* to suffer was with bluetooth which took me a while to puzzle out the cause of and downgrade to the standard version. I have since re-installed and so far stuck only to official updates, with the exception on adding the X11:/XGL repo to use Compiz Fusion. My question as a linux novice (and also one who gets a kick out of updating! A hangover perhaps, from MS days) is; if i go back to updating extensively from the 3rd party repos, how much harm vs improvement might i be doing? I would like to add that I realise this might be a difficult question to answer, and also perhaps a controversial one - so please - don't end up having too heated a debate about it. Thanks, David. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 10.3 Beta 2 - Yast installer issues?
by John Layt 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Hi, Been messing around with beta 1 for the last couple of days evaluating it as a replacement for my ailing Kubuntu system, mostly works well, runs fast. However I managed to hose my test install 3 times today while trying to upgrade packages using Yast. I may be totally wrong in this, seeing as I'm a Suse newbie (but 10 year linux user/developer), but I'll float it anyway as it looks pretty lethel to me. Up to this morning, Yast would happily apply upgrades as rpm upgrades. After applying the latest Yast version, it now appears to be applying upgrades as a delete then an install. I'm basing this on what I think is the new appearance in the Yast update progress listing of lines of 'Deleting xxx' that delete all the packages selected for upgrade, followed by the downloads and installs. Now, that could just be deleting the rpm files from cache, in which case the message needs to be changed to something less scary, but I think it does delete the installed package. Trouble here is that if there is then a problem with the download or install, like I had 3 times running, your system can be seriously borked with important files deleted and not yet replaced. It's also not helped by the Abort and Cancel buttons not working properly when a problem is reported, or that network issues don't even return an error message and give you the chance to skip, your install is automatically aborted and you're dumped back to Yast with a borked system, or that trying to reapply failed installs re-downloads everything again (this was a problem yesterday, today you don't get there as you get error messages that the delete failed, and the skip abort buttons get all random on you). Has anyone else seen this, or am I way off-base here? Having been through the KDE CD installer about 5 or 6 times now, I spotted a couple of other things, the main one being you can't change CD's in the actual install step, and pre-added online repos not being used or remembered.

[opensuse] Network problems.
by Kevin Papineau 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

I seem to be having a small issue that I've never had before. When I was using SuSE 9.2, I ran my internal network using my server as the gateway to the internet without any issues whatsoever. Behind it, there are 2 or 3 systems and 1 or 2 laptops, depending on company and my own tinkering with spare systems lying around. When I went wireless on the laptop, I installed a router and moved the internet to that, using it as the gateway. I am having issues with the router, and so decided to move the internet connection back to the server and replace the router with my hub. In the time between, I switched the 9.2 to openSuSE 10.2. Now, while I can get the server to work properly, and the other computers can ping the server, I can't get outside access for any of the other computers. I have turned off the firewall completely to test that, and no luck. IP Forwarding is turned on. Any ideas/suggestions/fixes? Thanks.

[opensuse] Intel wireless 4965AGN under 10.2
by Jesse Shaver 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

I am trying to get the wireless working on my Lenovo X61. I have an Intel wireless 4965AGN. I have a brand new SuSE 10.2 install (64 bit). As best I can tell, I need to recompile my kernel(which is currently stock SuSE) with the mac80211 patch in order to get it to work (per these instructions: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi&n=HOWTO-iwlwifi). but I get compile errors (see the bottom of the included shell output). Google has proven unhelpful. Has anyone gotten this wireless card working on 10.2, or have any ideas how to go about fixing the compile errors?

To cut down on the amount of emails I have to send if your replied to my first email my responce will be in this one. > What is the zypper version? > > Stano My version of zypper is 0.6.15 > Hi Adam, > > have you updated libzypp today. > There was several patches available. > > -- > Regards, > Rajko. I added the update list to smart and it installed a couple of packages for zypper and libzypp but I'm not sure if they are the patches, seeing as I'm still having the same problem > Zypper or one of its' libraries is broken.

[opensuse] Small database program?
by Nick Zentena 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Is there something small and simple? All I want is to set up a simple home database. Items,serial numbers maybe a couple more fields. Every time I go looking all I seem to find is stuff geared at running a Fortune 500 company.

[opensuse] Server Freezes Randomly
by Brandon Carl 18 Aug '07

18 Aug '07

For some reason, my server that I have running openSUSE 10.2 has been freezing randomly. It just completely locks up and the only way i can get it to work again is by doing a hard reset. I have no idea what is causing this to happen, because it had been working perfectly before. One change I did notice recently, however, is that one of my cron jobs that is supposed to connect to a ftp server and download all the files in a directory stopped working. The only output of the cronjob is this: "ftp: Name or service not known". Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem, but I recently setup sendmail correctly so that my cronjobs could email me the results. I am thoroughly confused. -- Brandon Carl Spleeyah(a)spleeyah.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

As they are available and cutting-edge, why do you (and many other people) insist on using rpms not build for your distro and/or complying and causing other problems that may or may not appear sometime in the future?

The other (non-openSUSE specific) packages and of a generic nature made to work *mostly* with *most* systems (in most cases). openSUSE systems havee been patched annd manipulated to "work better" for you and packages need to respect those alterations. again: Replied to list. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

It uses an industry standard system to do low level disk device monitoring, I personally do not use raid but for software raid I would expect to have some physical dev definitions with which to do the monitoring, I am replying to you and list as I would hope that someone can give some practical pointers to deploying this in the software RAID scenario.

[opensuse] Strange RPM Problem
by Jim Sabatke 18 Aug '07

18 Aug '07

I'm having somewhat the same problem as I reported a few weeks ago. Occasionally my home directory locks up on an 'ls'. What I've noticed is that this always seems to follow a yast RPM problem. I'll go into software management and the program just hangs before it should go into the search window. After that, the software management doesn't check sources, but after a long wait announces that the RPM catalog can't be accessed because another program is using it. No other program seems to be using it. Then when I reboot, everything seems fine ... until the next time it happens. Any ideas?

[opensuse] Really dumb question
by Jim Sabatke 18 Aug '07

18 Aug '07

I had my system setup with two keyboard arrangements, English and Danish. There was a program from the menus that showed the keyboards. I can't find that again. I also lost my dock program that allowed me to switch between the languages (it showed a little flag). I've been trying to hunt down the programs for a couple days now. Can someone point me to what is probably a really obvious thing I'm missing. FWIW, I don't know why this functionality isn't included in the language setup in yast.
