[opensuse] NFS mounts as regular user
by Philippe Andersson 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Hello, Since migrating to OS 11.0, I have difficulties mounting NFS shares as a regular user. I always get the following message: ------------------------<cut>------------------------- pan@kermit:~> mount /website/ mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking. Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd. ------------------------<cut>------------------------- The mounts in question are defined with the 'user' option in /etc/fstab. Looking in /etc/init.d, I found out that: nfs: # statd is started when needed by mount.nfs Just to make sure, I verified and yes, /sbin/mount.nfs is SUID root, so it shouldn't have any problem starting rpc.statd for me. If I first mount the NFS share as root, umount it, then try as a user, it works (because rpc.statd is left running, I suppose), but if I first ty as a user, it fails with the above error message. The same setup worked fine under 10.2. Also, in order to make it work at all, I had to modify the exports on the server and add the 'insecure' flag (because the new client sends the requests from an unprivileged port). Do you know if there is a way to get the client to behave as before ? TIA Cheers. Bye. Ph.

[opensuse] compiz effects
by Michael S. Dunsavage 13 Oct '08

I have the cube working for switching screens. But I when I use sphere or cylinder, it's just the cube in the sphere or cylinder. How can I get to look like a ball or some other neat things? Not that the cube isn't cool, but it's kinda boring too. I have compiz, compiz-fusion and both develop packages installed. -- Michael S.

[opensuse] Upgrade from 8.2
by manou 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Hello folks, First I'm very very newbie in OpenSuse. I used to work on Debian and Ubuntu. Now, I have a remote accessible (only ssh) Suse Server running under 8.2 version. I have to install apache2 and php5 in this server but I found that the best solution is first to upgrade the version to a more recent. So I have questions: - can I upgrade the version from 8.2 to 11 without a risk of lost hand? - if it is not possible, what version I can to upgrade to at most? I notice that the minimum version available actually is 10.0 (is that right?) - and finally, where can I find a good documentation for upgrading (Open)Suse without losting hand on the server? Thanks in advance friends, manou -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Sound Stopped when running VirtualBox
by Kai Ponte 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

I am running Vista inside a VB session for work. (I know it is a holidy, but...) I have full sound support under VB - vista makes all sorts of noises. However, I just noticed Firefox wasn't playing sounds. (I was watching a video of mine on YouTube.) I then checked Amarok and finally YaST. I get the message, "xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers" when playing in Amarok. I close VirtalBox and all is good. What's going on? Is VB stomping over my sound card somehow? -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com government is a process which utilizes 45.5% gut reaction, 45.5% laws and statutes and 1% logic -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Personal Accounting Software

Hi, i'm not sure if this is slightly OT, but would like to read reviews of people using MoneyManager-Ex or KMyMoney, better if someone tried both. Maybe a feature/function that's exclusive of one of them... Regards, Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, list! Since I am looking for a idea DVD contains only the software I need, and susestudio.com But, I think there is a better idea, how about opensuse project to provide a tool,which can run in windows and linux or Mac OS, the tool, by which, we can choose the packages & self-added-packages on-line, and download with the tool, and make DVD iso image with that tool whicle it runs on our own computer . the server provide repo, the tool choose package and make iso. Is it a good idea ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Duaine & Laura Hechler 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

I just recently upgraded from 10.3 to new install of 11.0, which went very well, however I had to go through the list and pick my packages to install - again. Is there a way to pre-specify the list of packages to install ? (Ex. No games, no beagle, gftp, xmms, gramps, vlc, etc.) -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler(a)charter.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home & Business user of Linux - 10 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] adding libraries to PHP5 install ---
by Peter Van Lone 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

on a SLES 10 sp1 server that is an apache/php server. I have been trying to add CURL and OpenSSL to support to PHP5. When I select to add either of these packages in yast (the ncurses version), I get the following message: Package Dependencies Problems This would invalidate atom: php5-openssl-5.2.5-9.6.i586 atom: php5-openssl-5.2.5-9.6.i586 has unfulfilled requirements Possible solutions: delete PHP5-openssl HUH? First, what is "atom"? This does not appear to be a package that is installed, so ... what is it? There is a menu option to "solve" but when I choose that, it just pops me back up to the "problem" description. It is the same when trying to add either OpenSSL or CURL to PHP ... Any idea what is going on? Peter -- "Nothing works and nobody cares."

[opensuse] OpenSUSE 11.0 possible bug with perl B::Xref implementation
by G T Smith 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All, Before I report this I wonder whether anyone else has noted the following.... on entering perl -MO=Xref <some perl file> I get following .... Assertion ((((_gv)->sv_flags & (0x00004000|0x00008000)) == 0x00008000) && (((svtype)((_gv)->sv_flags & 0xff)) == SVt_PVGV || ((svtype)((_gv)->sv_flags & 0xff)) == SVt_PVLV)) failed: file "B.c", line 4838 at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi/B/Xref.pm line 162. CHECK failed--call queue aborted. On my 10.2 Perl 5.8.8 based machine this functions OK. But I am going to need to upgrade this machine soon given 10.2 is at end of life, so this could be a minor problem. This suggests that the Xref module or one of its dependencies has not compiled correctly. Unfortunately this is part of the perl/compiler install, and it looks as if one cannot just rebuild the broken component but one needs to rebuild the whole thing. At the moment I am a bit reluctant to recompile the Perl compiler just to use this particular option (it generates a cross reference listing which can be handy on occasion). It is very possible that this is caused by something unique to my setup. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
