You can always cheat and run a Xen server with no graphics, and have a client ssh -X into it with 3d enabled.

This is for OpenSuSe 10.2 . But this doesn't work for me. Well, I did say I'd never seen anyone actually get it to work...

[opensuse] Can't build nvidia driver on kernel 2.6.22.5-31-xen
by Manuel Mely 16 Jan '08

If i do a (on /home/mely/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9631-pkg1/usr/src/nv ) CC="gcc -DNV_VMAP_4_PRESENT -DNV_SIGNAL_STRUCT_RLIM" make SYSSRC=/usr/src/linux module I always get this error: If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure you either have configured kernel sources matching your kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed on your system. If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel installed on your system. If you specified a separate output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option. Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option. *** Unable to determine the target kernel version. *** make: *** [select_makefile] Error 1 The patch is fine... but i can't make the module. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Skype
by Brian Joseph Mines 16 Jan '08

Clayton, nothing quite succeeds like success! Many thanks for your help, particularly your reference to the command line. I have just been talking to a friend via Skype. In the process I have learned so much about the operations of Linux. Being a complete computer idiot, I didn't even know what the command line was, but I started to look, and I found that all the information was already there in openSUSE, and that by pressing Alt + F2 a window came up, into which I typed skype, and hit return, upon which Skype was installed, and all to my gleeful suprise! Clayton, once again, many thanks for your patience and help. God bless you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Clayton, I have downloaded skype 2.0.0.27-suse i586 rpm from the site you mentioned but still no joy. I now realise two things: my ignorance of how Linux works, and that my computer might not be up to the task. The computer is an old Pentium III with a 1 GHz Celeron CPU. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] I'm having some problems with OpenSuSE, specifically with Yast...
by Rob Fitch 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

Hi, I downloaded OpenSuSe 10.3 about 48 hours ago, and have been spending most of that time configuring my new OS, when not sleeping. I have been having several problems with this process, but I'm a big boy and I like to solve things on my own. However, one problem started recently (about 18 hours ago), and I'm not sure if it's my fault or your fault. When I try to get new software from the repositories in Yast, I can't connect. I've been getting a mixed bag of 403 and 404 errors. As I recall 403 means that I'm forbidden access, and 404 means the information requested simply is not there. 403s are usually my fault because I snooping where I shouldn't be, and 404s are generally someone else's fault. So which one is it? Has my IP been banned from the OpenSuSE repositories? Do you not like me? Do I smell funny? I really like this distro, and you know I can change, I promise. I'll stop looking at other operating systems, Iswear. Just let me download another repository, just one, to get me through the night. All kidding aside, I would kinda like to see something done about this, because I'm still missing a lot of pretty basic stuff.

[opensuse] FW: Process processing
by Kain, Becki (B.) 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

This is another request in this ongoing saga of my http issue. Is there a tool, for linux that "will match inbound requests with processing time? That will require that the HTTP packet be logged as well as the request and which thread or process was assigned to it. You can then query the thread scheduler to find out what the threads are doing." Ideas?

[opensuse] Samba bug?
by Greg Freemyer 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

All, Can anyone reproduce this? I have both a OS 10.2 Samba server using XFS as the underlying FS. And a OS 10.3 Samba server with XFS. Both are running standard Novell provided rpms. On either one If I manually create a directory "F-08-6104 International Management Assoc." on the FS all looks fine from Linux, even from a cifs connected OS 10.3 client >From Windows XP it is showing up as "FMIJ1P~A". And "dir /X" from an XP cmd line shows only one name. i.e Not both a short and long name. I assume this is reproduceable and is a generic Samba bug? If someone in addition to me can confirm , I'll open a novell bugzilla.
