[opensuse] VMI enabled Kernel for 10.2? Performance issues with VMWare
by Stefan Müller 29 Sep '07

29 Sep '07

Hi, I am running SuSE 10.2 under VMWare. The processor load when ideling is very high (20-30%). VMWare support said that I would need a VMI enabled kernel. Is there a rpm that can be downloaded somewhere that contains such a kernel? All kind of other performance tips related to SuSE under VMWare (Fusion) would be great as well.

[opensuse] Printer stalled
by Stan Goodman 29 Sep '07

29 Sep '07

I have a Brother HL-1250 printer, connected to an HP Jetdrive printserver on my LAN. Today, I had a paper jam in the middle of a job. After clearing it, the printer no longer operates with Linux (openSuSE v10.2, although it functions with other OSes, so apparently something needs to be reset in the Linux printer subsystem. I can't find information on what needs to be done. What does it want? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Way to limit directory size on SUSE 9.1?
by Xn Nooby 29 Sep '07

29 Sep '07

I'm using SLES9 which is based on SUSE 9.1, and I was curious if there was a way I could limit the growth of a directory. I currently have a separate /var partition in case it grows too big, and I was thinking if I could just limit it's size, I could keep /var on the / partition. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Booting is just not working...
by Anders Norrbring 29 Sep '07

29 Sep '07

I have run into a very strange problem.. Hardware: RioWorks HDAMA-G motherboard 2 x Opteron 246 4GB RAM When running with a LSI Logic MegaRAID 320-1 *and* a Adaptec 2820SA RAID adapter, the system runs perfectly fine in all aspects. When I remove the MegaRAID adapter, I can't even boot into Rescue mode from the 10.2 DVD. The DVD starts up, I select "Rescue Mode", and it shows me that the kernel is loading. When it comes to 100%, the screen goes black and nothing more happens. I even let it be for 45 minutes, it never went on. I put the MegaRAID back in, and the system runs fine again. This is spooky.. Oh, when I had the MegaRAID out, I booted with Acronis and PartED magic CDs, both came up just fine, but not any of my tested SUSE disks, I've tried 10.2, 10.0, 9.3, SLSTD8, SLES9, SLES10 and United Linux 1.0. Neither works. Any ideas please? Anders. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I too have experienced this before and I have found myself wondering about it. Line quality can do this. House wiring can do this. I have had it where I connect 100% some days and 10% on others. I don't know what else to tell you on this. If you are dialing and are connecting, but not negotiating a final connection, I would check the condition of the patch cable I'm using, make sure there aren't balls of dust in the jack, and finally look for a neighbor that works for the phone company and trade a couple of beers for him bringing all the cool tools over to check. Also, if you want to try a reliable fax connection use the number below.... It goes to an industrial size Sharp fax machine and I use it when I need to eliminate possibilities as well.... -- David C.

[opensuse] apache won't serve webpages
by primm 29 Sep '07

29 Sep '07

Hi I changed permissions on the /srv/www/htdocs folder from root:root to ftpadmin:ftpadmin and made the user ftpadmin have the /htdocs folder as home folder. I did this so that I could ftp to the /htdocs folder and manage my website externally. In doing so I can now ftp perfectly well to /htdocs but I cannot see any webpages via http. Could anyone give me a working user:group setup so that I can both ftp to /htdocs AND be able to have apache serve webpages? Out of the box 10.2 Cheers, Lynn. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Changing the default folder first opened by the GTK/Gnome file open dialog
by Tero Pesonen 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

Hi! I'm running KDE on 10.2, and would like to change the default folder opened by the file open dialog that is used by GTK applications. Now it always opens my home folder by default, and I'd like to have it open one of my documents folders instead. I tried to google for this but found nothing. Nor do any of the .gnome* folders in my home folder contain anything that would seem to affect this. Thanks for any ideas!
