Hello, I am looking for the opensuse 10.2 web page that lists drivers for specific hardware (laptops); can someone point me to that? Can't seem to detect the wireless card for the Acer Aspire 9300.

[opensuse] Why does my sig file not work?
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

I have a sigfile which I wanted to put in service after some time of non use. I entered the respective command in the Kmail config and was surprised that I got a different output as expected. The sigfile is executable and as far as I remember, worked before. Somebody with a hint? Following is the output on my email: -- #!/bin/bash powered=`cat /etc/SuSE-release | head -n 1` kernel=`uname -r` kde=`kde-config -v | grep KDE` up=`uptime` echo "+=========================================+" echo "| Powered by $powered Kernel: $kernel |" echo " "$kde" " echo "|$up |" echo "+=========================================+" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SuSE 10.2 and bluetooth
by Clive Rogers 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

Hello All, Has anybody successfully got bluetooth with a Broadcom 3022 headset to work in SuSE 10.2 ? I have installed all the bluez and inserted the bluetooth USB dongle. SuSE recognised it and asked for the pin when I switched the headset into pairing mode. I can see that the headset is paired but I can not figure out how to get music or Skype to work with the headset. I have downloaded, installed configured the latest version of Skype and can use it with a desk top microphone and speakers but there does not seem to be the option in Skype to switch over to the bluetooth device. I have also checked in Yast the sound device and there is only one which is my sound card. If I remember correctly when the bluetooth device is inserted and the headset paired I should see a second sound device but this is not the case. Can you help ? -- Kindest regards, Clive. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/c.rogers/ Fighting for darker skies.

Hello, If any devel:tools:scm people are reading this, could we get an updated git package in the repositories? The current version does not support git-submodule, which is a really neat feature.

I've copied the mail the webmaster sent me and pasted below: Hi, Hylton. Thanks for your interest in our products. I believe that the VMTN forums have the ability to meet your needs. All forum posts are indeed archived. For example, take a look at the VMware Server forum: http://www.vmware.com/community/forum.jspa?forumID=219 There's a "search forum" box at the top of the right column; if your first search is unsatisfactory, there's an "Advanced Search" form included with your results. Note the time range; the default is posts within the last week. Change this dropdown if you'd like to search back to the beginning of the forum. On each forum topic, there's a link at the top entitled "Watch this topic." Clicking here (assuming you are using the forums as a logged-in user) will cause all new posts to be emailed to you. When you are a logged-in user, clicking on the link for "Your Control Panel" gives you access to two relevant choices: "Always watch topics I create" and "Always watch topics I reply to". Note also the link on this page for "My Watches", which allows you to control your currently active watches. Finally, if you have an RSS tool, note that each forum is available as an RSS feed. I personally am just a user of the forums; I have no direct responsibility for them. If you have comments or feedback on the forums, the best way to reach the people who manage it would be via the Web and Community Suggestions forum: http://www.vmware.com/community/forum.jspa?forumID=36 Best wishes-- -- Brian Rice brice(a)vmware.com Education Services Product Manager VMware, Inc.

[opensuse] opensuse-10,3beta2 on on64bit: IDE disk gets recognised as /dev/sda
by Günter Lichtenberg 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

Hi all - I just tried to install 10.3beta2 (the KDE CD iso) on my 64bit machine. The first steps worked until the installation set-up. But when I check the suggested partitioning it recognises my IDE disk as an /dev/sda and the menu in the partitioner also says it is a scsi disk. Checking on the suggested GRUB entries, the 10.2 root is also set to /dev/sda. At that point I stopped, because I did not want to shoot down my working 10.2 installation. I remember dimly that there was something about devices not correctly identified at some point in bugzilla, but I could not find it back... The question is: Is this a real bug or a feature? I always thought that IDE disks should be on hda devices. Technical info: The disk a WD on a Fujitsu-Siemens AMD64bit d1607 (VIA motherboard) connected via IDE. Cheers gl P.S.: If it is a (new) bug I will of course file it... -- G�nter Lichtenberg ========>mailto:lichten@arcor.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Adding SATA port multiplier support in Opensuse 10.2
by Mike Myers 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

By saying the vanilla kernel route, I meant downloading 2.6.18.8 from kernel.org and doing the patches against it, and then running that kernel. I just downloaded it and the patches worked fine against that base. The problem is that I am not sure what I lose by loading that kernel over the patched version that opensuse distributes. Especially since I like to use EVMS, and I know that seems to work out of the box with the patched opensuse kernel. Device mapper support is in 2.6.18.8, but again I am not sure what else went into the opensuse version. Is there a list of all patches that opensuse applied to the generic 2.6.18.8 kernel? Also, I contacted Tejun, and his existing patches are on a path to be incorporated into 2.6.23, but he is about to release PMP support for AHCI SATA controllers, which should be very popular too. I'll try and track down the forward port of the patchset, but I may try just running with the patched vanilla 2.6.18.8 first. I haven't used bugzilla before, but I'll work on getting a request added. PMP support is just SO useful, and windows drivers now pretty much support it across the board on a bunch of different controllers. Linux really needs it since software raid works so well.

The PMP patches never made it into vanilla (yet). If you search the lkml-ide mailing list I think you will find some people that have forward ported the PMP patchset, but you are definitely heading into unsupported territory. FYI: I think Tejun Heo is a Novell employee, so you may have better luck asking for the patchset to be incorporated into the 10.3 kernel. If you submit a bugzilla, etc. let me know and I'll add my vote.

[opensuse] windows XP boot manger 2 boot opensuse
by Alberto Santana 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

I have a desktop with 2 drives (sda and sdb). sda contains windows XP. Opensuse 10.2 (default installation) is on sdb. During the installation I had to put grub on the root partition of sdb. The machines are under a lease and we are NOT allow to modify the MBR. So the question is, how can I boot my linux from the windows xp boot manager? Followed the instructions given here: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Booting_Linux_with_the_Windows_NT/2000/XP_Boot_M… but no luck. After selecting linux from the WinXP boot manager I end up with a text console shown the word GRUB. -- Best wishes, Alberto -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Installing ntfs-3g under SuSE 10.2
by Dennis J. Tuchler 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

I have SuSE 10.2 installed together with Windows on a laptop which I purchased a couple of years ago. The Windows partition is mounted as NTFS file system, and is called WindowsC. I have googled neft-3g but only found references to insftalling it under various versions of SuSE OTHER THAN SUSE. My questions: 1 How do I install ntfs-3g onto Linux so that I can write to the NTFS partition? 2 Will ntfs-3g come with and be installed with 10.3? -- Best regards, Dennis J.
