[opensuse] Broken info pages

04 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, If I type "info scp" or "pinfo scp" I get this page: File: scpm.info, Node: Top, Next: Introduction, Up: (dir) instead of the one for "scp" or none. This is not the only case: it seems to do a search not matching for "word". Is there an option to modify this behaviour, is it a bug, or a broken index? - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHfg5PtTMYHG2NR9URAkAFAJ4w/V7Z6FvmETmRRY1s84/4zoCPSgCfRdAq 8N9p5E7A8UXVHTVAooPyyMM= =pte6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bug - PHP-5.2.5 + fcgi
by Peter Conrad 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hi, [I know there's a bugtracker. I tried to report this there. Found out you need a login. Tried to register - filled out all fields on the registration form. Result was a blank page with a novell logo. Great. So I'm posting here now - please reply off-list.] I'm running a server with OpenSUSE-10.3 (32bit x86) installed from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/. I've setup apache2 + php5 + mod_fcgid to run a chrooted PHP application. This has been working flawlessly for about 2 months now. Yesterday I updated the system using you. Among other (unrelated) things PHP was upgraded to 5.2.5-8.1. Since then, users have been seeing 500 errors occasionally. The logfiles contain messages like these: [Wed Jan 02 22:53:30 2008] [warn] (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: read data from fastcgi server error. [Wed Jan 02 22:53:30 2008] [warn] (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: ap_pass_brigade failed in handle_request function [Wed Jan 02 22:53:37 2008] [notice] mod_fcgid: process /chroots/php/cgi/php-wrapper.cgi(31170) exit(communication error), terminated by calling exit(), return code: 0 The errors occur without significant delay, sometimes in the middle of a page. Therefore I don't think timeout settings are a problem. Downgrading to php-5.2.4 got rid of the errors. Nothing else was changed. This is the list of relevant packages in the working setup: server:~ # rpm -qa|egrep -i 'apache|php5'|sort apache2-2.2.4-70.2 apache2-mod_fcgid-2.1-20 apache2-prefork-2.2.4-70.2 apache2-utils-2.2.4-70.2 php5-5.2.4-11 php5-ctype-5.2.4-11 php5-devel-5.2.4-11 php5-dom-5.2.4-11 php5-fastcgi-5.2.4-11 php5-gd-5.2.4-11 php5-hash-5.2.4-11 php5-iconv-5.2.4-11 php5-json-5.2.4-11 php5-mysql-5.2.4-11 php5-pdo-5.2.4-11 php5-sqlite-5.2.4-11 php5-tokenizer-5.2.4-11 php5-xmlreader-5.2.4-11 php5-xmlwriter-5.2.4-11 Bye, Peter -- Peter Conrad Tel: +49 6102 / 80 99 072 [ t]ivano Software GmbH Fax: +49 6102 / 80 99 071 Bahnhofstr. 18 http://www.tivano.de/ 63263 Neu-Isenburg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Xnest and 10.0 repository
by M Harris 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

hi folks, Xnest is badly broken in 10.0 and 10.1--- font problems, and other stuff like xterm not working, etc. The bugs are all reported, and I assumed fixed. I updated the Xnest rpm from ftp.suse.com for opensuse 10.0 6.8.2.100.13 and still have the same problems with Xnest... I think I probably need to update all of Xorg. (1) Can anyone confirm that the Xnest problems are fixed in the lastest xorg packages for 10.0 ? uh, will updating Xorg (complete) fix these issues? (2) Is Xnest working fine in 10.3 ? (3) How long will the 10.0 repositories be available Thanks much in advance. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Question about VMWare
by Robert Smits 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

On my laptop, I currently have a dual boot Windows/OpenSuse 10.3 setup. I have installed VMWare Server. This laptop is a Compaq X1000, and comes with a hidden partition and XP Home install disks. I'd like to get rid of the XP and hidden partitions, and just have XP installed in VMWare. The question is whether I can just copy my whole XP partition or do I need to install XP Home in the VMWare Server. Are there other issues caused by this configuration I should be aware of? Thanks. -- Bob Smits bob(a)rsmits.ca A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.

Good idea, except for the fact that I've been using it for months now. Not credible excuse. On Jan 3, 2008 10:49 PM, <auxsvr(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > I had exactly the same problem.

[opensuse] Problem Running Java with Firefox
by Chee How Chua 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Hi, I'm using openSUSE 10.3, kernel 2.6.22, Firefox 2.0.0.10, and java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_update13-0.5 I have a problem getting Java applets to run in my Firefox. There is a symbolic link to the Java plugin for the Firefox browser located in /usr/lib/browser-plugins/javaplugin.so This links to /etc/alternatives/javaplugin which is a symbolic link to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update13-sr2/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so This plugin didn't work. Although about:plugins show that the Java installation is working for Firefox, visiting Java's page or any page with a Java applet does not work correctly. So what I did was to create a link /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so to the same file as above. about:plugins again showed that the plugin is installed. Once again, I tried the applet in http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp but it is still not working. I've googled for help but the results came back with making a symbolic link which I've already done. Does anyone have any advice? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
