[opensuse] SuSe updater/zypper cpu-use-prio
by Hans defaber 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Hello everybody, I have a nice piece of hardware equipped with a ahtlon 4000+ cpu. Everytime i boot my computer the suse updater spends several minutes of cputime. No problem, but I can't do anything during this time. Linux has a NICE priority mechanism, to my opinion the suse updater should run on a low priority. Why isn't it designed this way ? Is there a posibilty to do it myself, for instance with the "nice" command.

[opensuse] setting up web hosting?
by 0verl0ad 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Hi guys, I was just thinking of installing the system which displays the Cpanel, PHPbb, fantastico, Joomla etc on the web hosting services. In short, if, I want to start a web hosting service on my machine, which will work over my LAN, then what do I need to do? I know nothing about it. I want to run it over my LAN as an experiment so that I am well known of the things when I get my own website hosted in a similar fashion and have a server ready to me on which I can do some experiments without having to connect to the internet (my hosting provider) each time. And since I am on a very slow connection (a GPRS connection on my mobile), it will need a lot of time for me to connect to internet and learn the ways to maintain my own site. So please help me setting up the thing on my own machine. Please tell me which packages I need to install and how to proceed. Thanks in advance. -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary ... and those who don't! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] rpm question
by Roger Oberholtzer 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

I get the following to stderr when running rpm -qa error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h# 808 Header V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID ddaf6454 and error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h# 888 Header V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID ddaf6454 I guess some packages were either signed odd, or something else has gone kaplooey. Any suggestions on (1) how to tell which packages this is for, and (2) how to possibly repair it? Although rpm seems to be working ok, this does not look like something to ignore.

[opensuse] Newest openOffice.org stable (2.3.1) killed some of my files opened via SMB
by Ben Kevan 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

So, I upgraded to openOffice.org 2.3.1 that is in the Stable Build Service and went to open a file that is on a windows file share (using SMB). it opened and wanted to import text. I cilcked "Ok" and it killed the document. Erased everything in it. Luckily I have backups .. But to me this kind of stuff shouldn't be pushed out through "Stable" repositories. Think i'll remove that repo for now. Ben -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Did you ever remove the DVD from the drive after installing 10.3? Do > you see a syslinux message briefly on screen before the Welcome screen? Ach!! I never removed the DVD from the drive -- even after the installation was complete. It's so obvious. Well, I've taken it out now, and am deeply embarrassed. I can only apologize for bothering you and Rajko unnecessarily. Of course now the boot sequence is exactly what it should be. Tomorrow or the next day I'll do the necessarily retrieval of data that was not backed up. Then I'll install v10.3 over the failed upgrade, but with some changes in partitioning. I will alloacate 20GB for /root and the same amount for /home, so that user apps and data will not be affected by any future upgrading disaster. All the partitions are EXT3 (no more XFS). Therefore no need for special partitions in which to put GRUB -- I eventually learn lessons; it just takes more time than it used to. If it is true that OS/2 supports a EXT3 driver, I might instead do away with the maintenance partition, and rely on OS/2 (actually eCS v1.1) for emergency manipulation; I have to think about that. > The easiest solution for you might be to boot into OS/2 and reinstall > standard MBR code with DFSee or LVM.EXE, and at the same time verify that the > 0Ah partition is marked as the only active/startable partition in the master > partition table. It is, of course.
