[opensuse] Encrypted file system: disable mount on boot.
by Wendell Nichols 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

I have an encrypted partition on my laptop hard drive for company source etc. I only need it "occasionally" so I would like to disable the mount on boot. Its irritating that the vastly improved boot times of suse 10.3 are obviated by the need to come back and enter my password halfway through the boot (can't even go get coffee!). I've tried using the noauto option in fstab for that filesystem.. no dice. Any ideas? wcn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Re: Phenom and opensuse
by Yoriaki FUJIMORI 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

It seems I got a reply(?) to my previous post. His follow contained nothing informative, but seems to be misleading, so I decided to add my comments. My previous post refered to rather kernel version and BIOS. This is why I plan to test opensuse 11.0 Alpha1. FC8 seems to have newer kernel than opensuse10.3. The trouble of Phenom I mentioned occurs in my place even if it runs with the default clock. I did not say troubles started with OC. Troubles exist without OC. Meanwhile, in my lab, several Intel's quad6600s are running at 3.0GHz, forming reliable clusters with opensuse 10.2. yoriaki fujimori -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] install info request
by Chris H 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Greets: Currently test/playing with 11.1 and I ran into a snag with the install process. The test system has two nics, one standard nic e100 and a D-Link Airplus G DWL-G520 which is supported(pci atheros). The current network is setup on wireless only. The issues is that I can load all the needed drivers for the G520 but only after DHCP fails on eth0. Yast does give me the options to load either the e100 or G520 while using text mode but DHCP is already assigned at this point in the install process to eth0 and thus fails when selecting G520 Is there a way that I can load the needed modules for both the card and the wireless stack at boot time or alternatively prior to the install sequence detecting and associating DHCP with eth0. Alternatively is there a way to reassociate DHCP with the G520 once all the modules are loaded. Using yast in text mode for testing. regards and thanks for any info -- /ch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Desktop search alternatives
by Philippe Landau 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

I waited years in anticipation of beagle. Then finally on OpenSuse 10.3 when i tried to use it i found it took a long time to find and list results and i saw no way of having it list results with the search words in the file name listed on top, giving those results more weight or relevance rating. This was especially disappointing when comparing with online search engines searching through billions of documents and often listing highly relevant results within fractions of seconds ... I am a full time researcher so searching files is something i do often, both full text and file names. Beagle is so slow that i disabled it, so i was glad when under the subject of "Why beagle" others expressed the shortcomings. Konqueror Ctrl-f is still buggy in it's handling of what you do with listed files, lacks basic features like "open parent directory", requires users to know grep when searching for partial matches or more then one word, only searches one partition at a time. And i never managed to use properties like file size successfully. Unfortunately this did not change in KDE4's dolphin. Konqueror's "Filter This Folder" does not search in sub-directories. What is your experience with desktop search alternatives ? Can you recommend affinity-search, doodle, strigi (strigiclient), others ?

[opensuse] Trying to use TLS with Fetchmail
by Manuel Mely 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Hi, I would like to fetch my mail from gmail using fetchmail. But one of the requisites gmail pop is to use TLS and share Certs. As i can see fetchmail package from OpenSuSe 10.3 doesn't allow to use TLS. Is there other package to install. It will be nice if i don't have to compile fetchmail to enable this.

Re: Email Threading (WAS: Re: [opensuse] encrypting your home partition)

I find it interesting that there were more responses on the topic of email threading than there were for the original question. I'll bet we get about 4 more posts because I top-posted.

[opensuse] No sound in 10.3, but it work in 10.0
by Lutz Maibaum 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

Hello, I cannot get my laptop to produce any sound under 10.3. However, it works flawlessly under 10.0, so I think the problem sits in front of the computer... lspci reports the sound chip as 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) and the following sound-related kernel modules are loaded: $ lsmod | grep snd snd_pcm_oss 50432 0 snd_mixer_oss 20096 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq 54452 0 snd_seq_device 12172 1 snd_seq snd_intel8x0 36636 1 snd_ac97_codec 97060 1 snd_intel8x0 ac97_bus 6272 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm 82564 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 26756 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 58164 10 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 11460 1 snd snd_page_alloc 14472 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm Both alsaconf and the the sound module in Yast seem to recognize the sound card as 82801CA/CAM AC'97, and don't report any errors when configuring the card. It just doesn't make any sound ;) I played with the volume controls in the YaST sound module and in KMix, but that didn't do anything either. At this point I am not even sure if it's a driver issue, of if there is anything wrong with my sound setting. Any help would be much appreciated!

[opensuse] Easy backup for home users
by Ciro Iriarte 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

Hi, wouldn't it be a nice idea to include a tool similar to the Time Machine feature from OSX in Opensuse?, is there any project about that?. Home users would be really happy to recover a snapshot of a file they deleted accidentaly. I know there's rsync (I use it myself), but i'm talking about easy of use. There are some projects already working like Flyback and TimeVault.

[opensuse] libglx.so: undefined symbol: _nv000069gl
by opns0246＠tebibyte.org 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

Suddenly, from Sunday afternoon, I'm not getting 3D accelleration from my nvidia card even though it is installed and enabled. In the Xorg.0.log I'm seeing the following (II) LoadModule: "glx" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions//libglx.so dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions//libglx.so: undefined symbol: _nv000069gl (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions//libglx.so (II) UnloadModule: "glx" (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 7) I have tried reinstalling x11-video-nvidia and nvidia-gfx-kmp-default but it doesn't seemed to have helped. Has anyone else seen this? Many thanks, Chris R. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Change in 10.3/KDE file browser?
by Tom Patton 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The KDE mediamanager is not running. system:///media/sr0 cannot be found. ------------------------------------ The above msg box pops when attempting to dis-mount any of the hot-plug media (cd, usb-stick, etc), when using fvwm as manager, and konqueror as the file browser. mtab says: /dev/sr0 /media/Nov\04015\0402006 iso9660 ro,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=1000,utf8 0 0 I do have a full kde install, but most users here prefer fvwm, for speed. This worked fine in 10.2. In 10.3, I can obviously mount devices/media, but unless I am logged in on KDE3, they will not eject. >From CLI, only root is able to umount /media/Nov\04015\0402006 or /dev/sr0 even though it looks to be mounted by me (uid=1000) Again, if in KDE, it all works fine, and the kids can cycle cdroms or sticks without hassle...or calling me for help. I have searched for the kde "mediamanager", and haven't found it mentioned in the rpm queries or as a system run service...but it IS working IF I start a kde session. Weird? Any clue why this changed in 10.3, or am I missing something obvious here... Thanks!
