[opensuse] What i wrong with Yast's package Management?
by Ruben Safir 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Last night on a new install we tried to download ALSA and Yast instisted on downloading with it open offie pluggins. Today my laptop again decided that it doesn't know it has any packages loaded and is loading now half the base system including a completely uneeded cpio and reloading a bunch of X11 components I don't need in order to download firefox which suddenly stopped working. Can someone explain the changes to yast and how come rpm can't seem to find anything in its database any longer? Why can't I deny to load files that yast believes are dependencies which aren't. Its completely locked in now.

[opensuse] Import certificate .crt to connect to a page securely (openSSL)
by marcelo 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Hi, I want install a certicate .CRT on openSuse 10.1. For example wget can perfectly connect to a page securely with cerfiticate: # wget --ca-certificate=AFIPcerthomo.crt https://wsaahomo.afip.gov.ar/ws/services/LoginCms?wsdl But without certificate: # wget https://wsaahomo.afip.gov.ar/ws/services/LoginCms?wsdl Get the following message error: // BEGIN MENSAJE ------------------------ --10:40:21-- https://wsaahomo.afip.gov.ar/ws/services/LoginCms?wsdl => `LoginCms?wsdl' Resolviendo wsaahomo.afip.gov.ar... 200.1.116.66 Connecting to wsaahomo.afip.gov.ar|200.1.116.66|:443... conectado. ERROR: Certificate verification error for wsaahomo.afip.gov.ar: unable to get local issuer certificate To connect to wsaahomo.afip.gov.ar insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'. No se pudo establecer la conexión SSL. // END MENSAJE ------------------------ Then HOW can install a certificate en openSuse ??? For example to import a certificate on Fedora 9 is: # openssl x509 -in AFIPcerthomo.crt -text >> /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt But this file not exist on openSuse. I try to add to /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/ca-bundle.crt on openSuse, but get the same error. Can't conect securely with SSL. Thanks, Marcelo.

[opensuse] no mic capture on SBx00 Azalia
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Hi, had a hardware defect and got a new mainboard (MSI) with an onbard soundcard: Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Device 7388 Codec: ALC888 I'm on openSUSE 11.0 / Alsa 1.0.16 I can't get Alsa to capture anything from the attached microphone. The microphone works as I can hear myself when the Mic output is on but I can't get it recorded for example with arecord. That stuff is usually a wrongly configured mixer but I've played around now for a long time and still couldn't get it to work. Config can be found here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=09244cb4b2497fcc551eb8916fbc3795ba510816 Hints anyone?

[opensuse] flase screen resolution for splash screen
by Michael 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Hello, I have installed a openSUSE 10.2 at a 1248x1024 Flat Screen. Then I moved the PC to its final location where a 1024x768 non Flat Screen is attached. Once stared there is nothing to see just flickering lines. To fix the problem I booted with save settings to runlevel 3, started Sax2 and changed the Monitor settings. After a restart I still see the flickering lines until the xserver takes overn - than all is ok. Well I thing Sax only adjusts the Xserver settings. The settings for the bootsplash screen is in one of the grub files? I saw at one place a 3 digit hex number tha could be a candiate? Is the menu.lst the file I need to edit? Is this the line (this is not the original line): kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-27-386 root=/dev/hda3 ro quiet splash vga=0x342 I assume that I need an other code for 1024x768 (xga), is there some where a link to a list of codes? I have googled but I must have missed it.. Thanks a lot Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No ISDN with AVM ISDN card and openSUSE 10.2
by Michael 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Hello, I have an AVM Fritz PCI v 2.0 ISDN card in my PC. Unfortunately AVM does not provide any more drives for this card after policy change for kernel modules. How ever there is a page where a patched kernel verison is available which incorporates the divers. But openSUSE is no longer maintained. Due to this I like to ask the comunity if someone was able to have a working installation of the above mentioned card and the Kernel 2.6.18.8-0.11? I also tried to compile the patched driver but this fails with the message Rule: kernelrelease not availabl STOP. Thanks of any hint Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Taskbar in 11.0 and KDE4.x now can Autohide
by Basil Chupin 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

For those who may not know it yet, I discovered this morning that the Taskbar in KDE4.1x can be made to Autohide, just like previously in KDE3. Luvly! (I don't know when this came into affect.) Just right-click on the Taskbar, select Panel Settings and then select More Settings. One thing, the Always Visible option always shows up with a red tick even if you select Autohide so ignore this little idiosyncrasy, select Autohide and save the new setting.
