[opensuse] Bootable Flash Drive building with OpenSUSE
by Ruben Safir 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

I want to install openSUSE 11 from a bootable fash drive and I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do this. I'd like to use the openSuSE 11 DVD for the x86 32 bit platform which I have downloaded. Does anyone know how I can turn the flash drive into a bootable install disk?

by Yudi Purwanto 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Hello all Linux Experts.... I'm new in linux. Currently i'm using Open Suse 10.2 (i586). I get some problem on how to connect my WinXP to my OpenSuse. I dont understand on how to configure the network susc as IP address, gateway, and DNS on Linux. I have tried to ping IP address of my Win XP from Linux ---> it's work well But, when i try to ping Linux IP from My WinXP --> it's report that destination unreacable. if i success in connecting OpenSuse and myWinXP, i plan to attached MySQL database server on MyOpenSuse. I plan to use OpenSuse as my small server. Currently i'm still developing small client application using VB and MySQL to handle inventory system.

For those of you who have installed Suse on an EEEPC, is the speed and performance good?

[opensuse] Quick question
by Chuck Payne 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Guys, I need to know if anyone know the mailing list for mod_rewrite. Is there. I spent 30mins on the site this morning and didn't find any mailing list. I got an issue that is killing all my vanity rewrites. I would post the question here, but I think it would be better to address that group.

[opensuse] BASH script help needed - Why is full path required?
by David C. Rankin 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Listmates, Bash gurus I'm stuck again with a BASH problem that I don't fully understand. I am working with my ATI driver install script and for some reason I must provide the full path name for rpm to be able to install the file, but from everything I see, it should work with a relative path or simply the file name since the script is executed in the same directory as the file. I have underlined the rpm call that is giving me the problem of needing the full path-to-the-rpm. The relative parts of the script are: # ## Assign the Driver Release variable input from the command line before calling ## other functions. Otherwise search for the latest fglrx rpm in the current ## directory, selecting the newest, and test that it is readable. If not found, exit # if [ -n "$1" ]; then FGLRX_RPM="$1" else FGLRX_RPM=$(ls fglrx*.rpm | tail -1) if [[ -n $FGLRX_RPM ]]; then echo -e "\n\t\tSelecting: $FGLRX_RPM\n" fi fi <snip> # ## Ready to Install. Prompt to confirm install or exit # echo -e "\n\tPrepared to Install $FGLRX_RPM\n" read -p "Continue? (yes/no): " INSTALL if [ "$INSTALL" == "yes" ] || [ "$INSTALL" == "Yes" ] || [ "$INSTALL" == "YES" ]; then echo -e "\n\tInstalling $FGLRX_RPM....\n" if [[ ! -r ${FGLRX_RPM} ]]; then echo -e "\n\tUnable to find the fglrx rpm to install.\n\n\tPlease specify the file as a command line option or make sure it is in the present working directory.\n\tExiting\n" exit 1 fi if rpm -Uvh ${FGLRX_RPM}; then ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ echo -e "Install of ${FGLRX_RPM}\T\TSucceeded!\n" else echo -e "rpm -Uvh ${FGLRX_RPM}\T\TFAILED!\nyou will have to install manually -- bummer\n" fi ## Restore the xorg.conf cp /tmp/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf else echo -e "\n\tYou chose NOT to install the driver, you will have to install manually\n" echo -e "\n\twith \'rpm -Uvh $FGLRX_RPM\'\n" ## Restore the xorg.conf cp /tmp/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf exit 1 fi I don't understand why rpm will error out and say "File not found" unless the full path is given? I can execute the command outside of the script just fine giving only the filename of the rpm, but for some reason when called from inside the script, rpm wants the full path specified. I have tried using different forms of the variable like $FGLRX_RPM and "$FGLRX_RPM", but still the problem. If I pass the full path information, it works just fine. I have also tried passing ./fglrx-rpm-name.rpm since expansion takes ./ as a full path, but that doesn't seem to work either. What is baffling is that even when the rpm is automatically selected from the present directory both the initial echo -e "\n\t\tSelecting: $FGLRX_RPM\n" and the confirmation prompt echo -e "\n\tPrepared to Install $FGLRX_RPM\n" show the proper rpm filename just like you would enter at the command line. However, without the full path, rpm can't find the file. So, admitting defeat, I thought I would post and at least get another pair of eyes on how I'm handling the $FGLRX_RPM variable to see if anybody else could spot why I'm having to pass the full path information to make rpm happy.

[opensuse] RAID device not recognised under opensuse 11 running xen on a Sun X4150
by Bob Cregan 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Hi I am running opensuse 11 on a Sun x4150 32GB RAM 2 quad x86_64 xeons. It has a SAS PCI-Express LSI 3081E Host Bus Adapter running in a RAID 5 config. The problem I have is that when I try to run a the xen kernel the RAID device is not found . I get messages on the console of "can't find /dev/disk/by-id/<name of raid-device>partno. Do you want to fall back to ......" There are no issues running a non-xen kernel. I have checked the initrd and the module list is identical to those loaded by the non-xen kernel. I have changed the root= grub option to use /dev/sda3 which is the correct root partion reported by df when the system is running. I have remade the xen initrd All of these have made no difference at all. I know that the xen hypervisor sits between the CPU, memory, PCI bus and the dom0 kernel and wonder if there are any kernel options (xen specific or not) that might get me out of my dilemma. Details to follow ( all as reported by the non-xen system) Grub config is ######################################################## # Modified by YaST2.
