[opensuse] Slots ?
by John Andersen 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Is there any way to tell how many slots are in a machine and how many are occupied when you only have remote access to it via ssh (as root)? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Non-destructive Increase of /boot partition?
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hi, Setting up a low usage 'server' to handle email, files, faxing and printing using openSUSE 11.0. I have 3 HDD's and hence would like to establish RAID 5 where possible. All disks have space for both a /boot and swap partition but this was only mounted on the first drive. The three HDD's are each partitioned the same that have had the /root and /home file systems added to software RAID 5 (md0 and md1) I tried to include the /boot partition under RAID 5 and also under ) across all three drives and when I tried to add /boot to RAID it complained/agreed but then the system would not boot so hence the boot partition has not been RAID'd. I decided to just have a single partition of 23.5MB as my /boot partition on one of the drives. System has loaded fine after install and has been working 100%. The /boot partition is 23.5MB in size. The problem is that I have been catching up on updates since 11.0 was released and currently all have been successful. Only the kernel-pae update is failing due to space constraints ie the partition needs enlarging. Is it possible to use opensuse 11 software installed via YAST ie no hand compiling, to increase the size of the /boot partition, NON-DESTRUCTIVELY ie without reinstalling the whole system again? What size should I make /boot, especially as I thought it would only be accessed on system boot? Would 100MB be sufficent and can this be done NON-destructively? I have looked at the openSUSE archive but didn't find anything there, nor on Google but YMMV. I'd appreciate a pointer or three in the right direction w.r.t Linux non-restructive partitioning, if possible.

[opensuse] profiler
by Danesh Daroui 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hi all, Does anybody know a good profiler? I have used "gprof" but it does not cover functions calls when function is defined in another class or header file. It will profile only function calls withing main file or maybe I am doing something wrong.

[opensuse] little annoyance with amaroK and audio streams
by Martin Mielke 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hi all, one of the good things about the internet is... streaming radio :) At home I use amaroK as audio player and it plays streams and everything like a charm... so far, so good (so what?) Now the problem is... once the program being streamed comes to an end, amaroK doesn't know how to resume and doesn't start playing the next one, so I have to click on [stop] and again on [start]... I tried with different streams from different broadcasters and the problem is the same, so I guess amaroK is the one to blame... Any ideas or suggestions? (besides doing the stop/start thing...)

[opensuse] gnucash dies for "Uninitialized variable: slib:features"
by j debert 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 OpenSuSE 10.3 gnucash gnucash-2.2.7-8.1 slib slib-3a5-10.1 gnucash dies as it is beginning to show the splash screen with error: "Uniinitialized variable: slib:features" gnucash never did work for me in 10.3. It's only recently began complaining instead of dying silently. Could there be a problem with missing library symlinks? goffice apps fail to work after updates because the symlinks disappear after shared libs are updated by yast. == jd -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFJCbY3hpL3F+HeDrIRAsSjAKCmuF37/kHOQZYGWDV0wuuyPqFNjQCfcu7B dXS+O+99DEI20a0qBsPP6aU= =+48E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bye bye SuSE?
by Thierry de Coulon 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

This is not meant to start a flame war, I just thought I should express my concern on this list. "Novell dips KDE 3.5 (...) OpenSuse-Community-Manager (...) said that OpenSuse 11.1 would be the last version with KDE 3.5, and would contain only a stripped down version of the desktop. Strting with openSuSE 11.2 there will be no more KDE 3.5 components in the repositories (...)" - quick and dirty translation of LinuxUser 11.2008 Well, I don't know how far KDE 4.x will be when 11.1 comes out. Judging by 4.1.2 and Sebastian Kügler's interview in the same magazin (more plasmoids and new features and not a single word about bringing back the "old" fonctionalities) it seems I should quickly look for a replacement distribution........ I don't hope to change Novell's decision, but am I the only one here to say "no, KDE 4 has *not* the desktop, file manager and other desktop management elements I want?

[opensuse] cpufreq conservative vs ondemand
by Angel Alvarez 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hi Is there any way to configure powermanagement to use the "conservative" governor and not "ondemand" when the cpu policy is set to "dinamic" As Yast sysconfig editor states for /etc/sysconfig/powersave/cpufreq: "These are by default (kernel module - governor/powersave policy): ondemand/dynamic, powersave/powersave, performance/performance" So,how can i override the default pair "ondemand/dinamic"?

[opensuse] auto session lock Suse 11.0
by Regis Matejcik 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

This probably has a simple answer, but I've gone through the System menu, yast menu, and Mailing list archives without any luck. After upgrading to opensuse 11.0, my session automatically locks after a short period of time. It's annoying to always have to unlock after getting a coffee, but other than that - I'd rather lock the session if and when I want to lock it - not when the OS decides. So... How do I disable the feature for auto locking sessions in 11.0 ? -- Regis Matejcik Crescent Construction Company office 512-481-0345 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
