[opensuse] Question on Uninteruptable Power Supplies
by Marc Chamberlin 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

I have been looking at UPS to support some of my SuSE computers and am interested in one from CyberPower. I wrote them asking if theirs would run under SuSE Linux and got the following (somewhat unintelligible geek speak) and wonder if someone on this group can translate it for me.. ;-) Does anyone here use this UPS ( CyberPower Systems CP1350AVRLCD UPS) under SuSE? Copy of my email to CyberPower and their response - We have no drivers or software for Linux but the USB port is a power class hid port so if the version of Linux supports Power Class HID USB devices then the ups will be recognized as batteries within the OS power manager and can be controlled. Thank You, Joel Gerlach Technical Support Cyber Power Systems (USA), Inc. 877-297-6937 x7917 -----Original Message----- From: Marc Chamberlin [mailto:marcc@jprise.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2008 11:58 AM To: tech Subject: Support Request I am interested in the CyberPower Systems CP1350AVRLCD UPS and wonder what you can tell me about using it under Linux systems. Is there drivers available for it, and if so can you supply me with information on them? In particular I am running computers with SuSE Linux. Thanks...

[opensuse] opensuse 10.2 or 10.2 on production web server?
by Lamp Lists 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

hi, I'm looking for dedicated server to put websites of my clients. No shopping carts and ecommerce ("sensitive") sites but sites, but they are paid and clients expect to be up & live all the time. I found on hetzner.de VERY good offer and the review I read was really good. I decided to go for it. they offer as OS Debian 4.0 min/LAMP*, openSuSE 10.2 min, openSuSE 10.3 min/LAMP*, Ubuntu 7.04 min, Ubuntu 7.10 min. I already use openSuse 10.2, openSuse 10.3 on my desktop and laptop. Though, I'm a little bit concern about using 10.2 or 10.3 for "production" server? I would like to hear your opinion. Thanks. -ll ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.

[opensuse] System does not boot now
by Chris Arnold 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Using 10.3 and today the system was running way slow. So i ran top and see that xgl was using 7-8% of the processor along with some other things but nothing over 10%. I tried to shutdown using kde "leave" but the menu never showed up. So, i pressed te power button to shut it down. Upon reboot, i am left at a CLI error that in maintenance mode you can only control-D to reboot. I give the root password and am left at filesystem-repair/ prompt. Where do i find the log messages for the last boot? I looked in /var/log/boot.log and boot.msg. Are there some "disk checking" tools i can run? I am using the default boot manager (i believe it is grub). Thanks for any help. Oh, i also ran a hard drive disk test and the drive appears to still be good.

[opensuse] [ncurses] yast2 frames not in xterm but OK in screen
by Marcin Floryan 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Hi! After upgrading to 10.3 I have noticed a small nuisance when connecting to my server and was wondering if you have any clues on the issue? An SSH connection using PUTTY. When I run MC it displays frames correctly but if I run yast2 I get letters instead of frames (lines). However if I start screen and then run yast2 the lines are shown correctly. Kind regards, -- Marcin Floryan http://marcin.floryan.pl/ Please consider the environment before printing this email. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Yast Monitor Database not Updated for Recent 10.3 Install - No Acer 2216W
by David C. Rankin 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Mates, This is one of the things that is driving my crazy. I have 2 boxes that have identical Acer 2216W displays. Both had previously run SuSE 10.0 and the Yast Monitor database had the exact display "Acer 2216W" that yast would automatically choose and properly setup under sax2. First machine updated December time frame, yast had and properly selected the "Acer 2216W" for the 10.3 install. This Monday I had to update the other machine and Yast now selected the Vesa --> 1280x1024 monitor. I thought, "no problem, I'll just select the right one." WRONGO! The "Acer 2216W" monitor is nowhere to be found in this install. WTF? These two installs are all from the same .iso? How could that be? Is there or was there some monitor database update that should have been utilized in this install that wasn't? If so, where do I get it? Has anyone else seen such random nonsense on the installs they are doing? It is a pain to have to calculate modelines and manually set monitor width heights and H and W freq. ranges when they were just there in the last install and they were there on this very same box for the 10.0 install. Grumbling, but concerned. Can you help! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
