by David C. Rankin 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Listmates, The new ATI driver Release 8.10 (Version 8.542). I have installed it and I'm still looking at it. I've notice a bit of unexplained sluggishness when compared to the 8.532 driver. I would be interested in feedback on others experience. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Is there some special xorg.conf setup required for a TV connected to this port to display anything from the PC?

[opensuse] Updater error message
by Peter Bradley 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

After every update for the last few weeks, I've been getting the following error message: "Error building the cache database: Parse error Disabling repository 'Mono' because of the above error. applydeltarpm check failed. " Would someone be good enough to explain to me what it means and what, if anything I should do about it. Many thanks in advance (and apologies for my ignorance in these matters) Cheers Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Network manager network selection order
by Simon Roberts 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble with the network manager applet thingy. It's got it into its head that I would like to connect to certain networks automatically, unfortunately, it's wrong about this. How do I change the order it selects things, and/or how do I delete some networks from it's list of preferences entirely? (I'm using OpenSUSE 10.3 32bit Intel) Cheers, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.

[opensuse] NetworkManager and dhclient
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

Hi, I've recently got some device which is connected through rndis to my laptop (SynCE actually). That leads to some unexpected bad behaviour of my network configuration which is usually done by NetworkManager alone. So the story is that when I connect the device, udev is creating a network interface (usually eth2 but it could change if some other devices would create another eth device) and synce brings a hal script doing the actual connection using dccm (whatever that does exactly) but also is starting dhclient on the network device which is the base of the problem for me. By default now dhclient modifies /etc/resolv.conf (even if there are no nameservers returned by the device/dhcp-server but I've already opened a bug about that behaviour). So I had to resolve that issue by modifying /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp to not update resolv.conf automatically. But now when changing WiFi networks I found out that NetworkManager is following that and for normal network connections the nameserver is not set up correctly. So I'm wondering if other people have similar setups and had a good idea to modify the configuration w/o fiddling manually with the setup all the time? Any hints?

[opensuse] Hardcoded .local topleveldomain?
by Bernd Nies 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

Hi Is the toplevel .local somewhere hardcoded in the NSS libs? There is a strange behaviour when using "getent hosts" with a .local domain in /etc/hosts. It ignores the query order defined in /etc/nsswitch.conf and searches DNS first and then files. Compare the query times for toplevel domain .local and .lokus: # time getent hosts something.local 123.123.123.123 something.local real 0m15.015s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.004s # time getent hosts something.lokus 231.231.231.231 something.lokus real 0m0.004s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.004s # time getent hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 123.123.11.88 myhost.example.com myhost 123.123.123.123 something.local 231.231.231.231 something.lokus real 0m0.003s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.000s An strace of getent shows that it first contacts nscd socket, waits for 5 seconds and then opens nsswitch.conf. This 3 times. Is it a bug or a feature? It happens on Suse 10.1 and Suse 11.0. Configuration: # cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 123.123.11.88 myhost.example.com myhost 123.123.123.123 something.local 231.231.231.231 something.lokus # cat /etc/nsswitch.conf passwd: files ldap group: files ldap hosts: files dns networks: files services: files protocols: files rpc: files ethers: files netmasks: files netgroup: files ldap publickey: files bootparams: files automount: files ldap aliases: files # cat /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 123.123.11.99 nameserver 123.123.22.88 nameserver 123.123.33.77 domain example.com search example.com my.example.com options ndots:1 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox 3 "Open With" application/octet-stream
by Johannes Müller-Lahn 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

Hello, I have problems openening files that are sent as application/octetstream. The problem persists in the Version 3.0.3 (Mozilla Firefox on openSuSE 11.0). There are two bugzilla entries for that issue: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=406979 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327323 Mr. Rosenauer has released a fix for that, but it hasn't be reviewed for 2 months from now. Is there another solution or way to fix that problem? Best regards J.
