[opensuse] compiz: Where to specify custom command line for fusion-icon ?
by David C. Rankin 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

listmates, I use fusion-icon to start compiz. With the new 8.452 ATI driver the default command line used by fusion-icon to start compiz no longer works. How can I tell fusion-icon to execute: LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz \ --ignore-desktop-hints \ --replace \ --indirect-rendering \ --no-libgl-fallback \ --sm-disable \ ccp & to start compiz? I have looked at usr/bin/fusion-icon, but that just points to a mess of python scripts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. P.S. After struggling with the initial install of the 8.452 driver, I like what I see!

Dear David, please put a # in front of the BusId line in section "Device" of xorg.conf: Section "Device" BoardName "RX2600Pro" #BusID "1:5:0" Driver "fglrx" Identifier "Device[0]" ******* this ought to bring 3D into live ... See a corresponding thread in opensuse-xorg. The latest ATI driver introduced a bug, it cannot cope with "1:5:0" any more. Hope this helps, take care Dieter Jurzitza -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | \ /\_/\ | | ~x~ |/-----\ / \ /- \_/ ^^__ _ / _ ____ / <°°__ \- \_/ | |/ | | || || _| _| _| _| if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font with constant spacing like courier! :-) ----------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Heads UP - New ATI Catalyst 8.1 (8.454) Driver, No DRI, No 3D
by David C. Rankin 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

Listmates, Heads up! The 8.454 driver causes errors on openSuSE 10.3 running 2.6.22.13-0.3-default kernel on a Toshiba P35 laptop. The card is an "ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series" (Chipset = 0x4e50). glxgears framerates drop from 2100 to 517 with the new driver and the driver causes kernel errors, does not initialize DRI and does not provide 3D acceleration.

[opensuse] complete system halt..
by Sampsa Riikonen 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

Dear List, I have suse 10.3 installed on a hp tx1000 laptop. I am using KDE. Ultimately, the system has become very unstable.. It halts completely very frequently. I have observed this halt while browsing the web (it has happened both with firefox and the konqueror), but I suppose it can happen with any program..(?) By a "halt" I mean a completely blockage. The screen stays still, mouse / keyboard does not respond.. they only way to restart my laptop is to remove the battery (!).. I think I almost broke my laptop an hour ago (afterwards it refused to boot for a while). Does anyone have any similar experiences? How could I start debugging this thing? (I also have problems when trying to automount some CDs and memory sticks (quite randomly). The system complains something about "hal".. but this is not urgent). Please help! Sampsa Riikonen P.S. The laptop has nvidia graphics and broadcomm wireless chips P.S.S. Could the crash be related to a crappy internet connection that disconnects suddenly? (we have one) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] A few questions about using LDAP
by Rui Santos 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

Hi all, I've just installed LDAP Server with openSUSE10.3. All users are able to login from a specific openSUSE 10.3 machine. Here are the questions: - How can I make LDAP use more than 8 characters in the password ? No matter what scheme I use ( crypt, ssha, etc... ), YaST always complains that it will only support 8 characters and will truncate the password to those 8 characters. - How can I change the LDAP password of a specific users without using YaST ? When I type passwd and fill out everything, I get this error ( even with root user ): Enter login(LDAP) password: New Password: Reenter New Password: LDAP password information update failed: Insufficient access Must supply old password to be changed as well as new one passwd: Permission denied - Does the above command, passwd, allows regular users to change their passwords ?

I tested if it was ok, by entering a page, that neded java. It succeded, but not the antivir-gui: # ./antivir-gui libxcb: WARNING!

[opensuse] P2 laptop install - boot loader issue
by Greg Freemyer 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

All, Step 1 of my Weather Station project is to install 10.3 on to an old P2 laptop. I'm using a Dell P2 Latitude with a CD, but no floppy. (I have an external available if I need it.) I'm try with the 10.3 KDE single CD install media, downloaded from suse. I get as far as the bootloader install section. For some reason, I get a dialog box about installing lilo and needing to write the boot sector to a floppy. (I prefer grub, but can live with lilo). I clicked something for it to proceed, and it failed. The hard disk is not boot at this point. I tried booting to rescue mode and mounting the sda1 partition (looks good). On sda1, I have /boot which looks good. /boot/grub is missing menu.lst. I then tried running grub --no-floppy which gave me a command prompt like I wanted. I quit from that, did a chroot to /mnt so /sda1 was my effective root. Did grub --no-floppy --config-file=/boot/grub/menu.lst I can't remember if that gave me a command prompt or not the first time. Now if I try grub --no-floppy I just runs and I back to a standard bash command prompt with no chance to try to install grub. Ideas?

[opensuse] USB to ATA IDE Adapter, howto boot from it?
by David C. Rankin 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

Listmates, I can't recall who suggested it, Aaron or Patrick, but somebody made the suggestion to get a simple use to ide adapter to access spare laptop drives, etc. Well, I purchased one, and it is absolutely the sharpest thing since sliced bread. I have several drives for my laptop and murphy's law dictates that what you need is always on the other drive (theme, notes, etc.) I connected the usb cable to my spare 2.5 inch drive, changed the bios to boot from (1) removable devices (2) hard disk (3) cd/dvd drive (4) network. (Laptop is a Toshiba P35-S629) I turned the computer on, the usb drive started right away and it looked like the system was booting from the usb drive. However, the system booted from the installed hard drive instead. The usb drive was mounted automatically as: media/disk /dev/sdb7 spare 10.3 /home media/disk-1 /dev/sdb6 spare 10.3 / media/xpdrive /dev/sdb1 spare 10.3 XP partition Is there a grub boot parameter like (boot=/dev/sdb6) that will tell grub to boot from the usb drive? The reason being is that I would like to boot the install to update it. Any help will be appreciated and thank you whoever it was that recommended the usb to ide solution! -- David C.
