[opensuse] Yast setup
by Michael Juntunen 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

I trashed my kernel. I have been thinking of replacing the HD anyways so I will probably just reinstall the OS from scratch. My question is where does yast keep the the config info like the update servers? I am hoping to just copy it from the old HD onto the new one after I get the initial install done.

[opensuse] Cannot burn DVDs from the command line
by auxweb＠inwind.it 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

Hello, I have just been put in front of a computer with Suse 10.1 x86_64, a NEC ND-4550 DVD burner on /dev/hdc and a few DVD-R disks. I need to copy some critical files to those dvds as soon as possible, as I have the feeling the drive is failing and, for some reasons I haven't investigated yet, X won't start. Nice, uh? :-( I have tried: growisofs -Z /dev/hdc=/dev/zero to blank it and then the command at the end of this mail, pasted with its whole output. What am I doing wrong, or missing? SI have checked, and that burner does support dvd-r. Surely something very stupid, being tired as I am these days, but I really need to backup those files out of that hard drive as soon as possible before the computer dies on me or I can investigate if its problems can be fixed. Normally I still use CDs, that's why I am unfamiliar with DVD quirks, but the files this time are too many and too big to go with CDs. And no, unfortunately there is no other way to backup those files (no other computer to which I could connect it, no broadband or enough online space to upload the files somewhere...) I have already tried to look up those error messages via google, but frankly haven't recognized anything useful. So please help me to walk through this: what is the exact, foolproof way to burn the whole content of a directory from the command line, from unwrapping the dvd from the case to removing it from the burner? what are the exact command to type, and in which sequence? Thank you a lot, guys, Ando root:/mydata # growisofs -Z /dev/hdc -R -J /mydata/20070809/dvd1 Executing 'mkisofs -R -J /mydata/20070809/dvd1 | builtin_dd of=/dev/hdc obs=32k seek=0' INFO: UTF-8 character encoding detected by locale settings.

[opensuse] SLES9 refuses TIghtVNC 1.3.9 connections
by Xn Nooby 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

When I try to conenct to my SLES9 boxes with the latest TightVNC program, all I I get is a "Status: Protocol version negotiated" message. Googling it appears the VNC server in SLES9 does not support the new protocol used in TightVNC 1.3.9, and the solution is to either upgrade the VNC Server on SLES9, or downgrade the client's TightVNC to 1.2.9. I'd like to use 1.3.9 on the client because it apparently properly traps Alt-Tab window cycling and sends it to the SLES9 box. How to I upgrade the VNC Server on my SLES9 box? I'm using SLES9 SP3. I was trying to find some new VNC rpms, but this site didn't seem searchable: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ Any suggestions? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

The second url is a search for MS appliances. None looked like Win 3.1, but maybe one could work. Maybe somebody could make a 3.1 appliance for him?

[opensuse] Adjusting volume on a USB headset?
by Clayton 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

I have a new sound problem... I have a Logitech USB 250 Headset that has been working perfectly up until today. I have been able to adjust the volume using KMix... Today the volume dropped to about 20% and stayed there. If I turn on absolute values in KMix (shows value between 0 and 100) and move the slider, the highest it goes is 44% which is not high enough to hear anything. Is there any way to reconfigure this audio device? It is not present in YAST - never has been... I assume that is because of the fact it is a USB audio device. Is there another way - command line? - that I can reset teh volume to this audio device so I can hear things with it again? Oh, I have tried log out and back in.. and also a full reboot.. no change.. max is still 44% ad not loud enough to hear...

[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
