I really need to use Java for remote access via logmein.com, how can I do that with 64-bit Firefox? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] USB Sound card
by Jesse Shaver 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

I have a Creative Life! Sound Blaster USB connected up to my Lenovo X61 64 bit laptop. I can't seem to get it to play sound. once in a while, for no known reason, I can get yast to play the test sound through it, the rest of the time that does not even work. kmix does see it, and can interact with it (turning on and off some lights on the front and showing the various ins and outs correctly). I am running 11.0 64 bit. Hopefully someone can give me some incite into this problem. Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Md is just a container, i.e. to the rest of the system /dev/md0 is no different than a volume on a proper RAID controller. The filesystem type is stored on the filesystem. What *CAN* happen is md-RAID breaks (sometimes for no reason, due to a hardware failure or unclean shutdown) or one of the That is what you are seeing,.. md thinks /dev/md0 is broken so when you try to mount it, the system is not seeing a valid filesystem because md is not feeding it one. If it is RAID-1 you can mount the individual partitions using the -t[ype] option to specify that your volume is XFS. I would suggest you make a backup and reinstall using a better RAID implementation (hardware.) Otherwise you can try (and fail) to make mdadm work... it does not. <> Hello, Okay, got it going again. The trick was to delete the raid, in this case md0, and then recreate it with out mounting it in Yast. Next, I added the FS info and mount point in /etc/fstab and mounted it manually. All the data was there intact. I might add that this was raid0.

[opensuse] Raid troubles
by James D. Parra 27 Oct '08

Hello, I have a drive that went offline, which is now online and I need to remount it. It is part of a two drive array. Through Yast, I get an error saying it doesn't know its file system (XFS). <snip> Error It is not allowed to assign a mount point to a device with nonexistent or unknown file system. <snip> >From the CLI, how can I restart the array and pass to md what the filesystem is.

Hi, anybody knows if Yast defines the variable vendor-class-identifier when requesting a dhcp address at install time?. Regards, Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SATA Partition limit with SATA drives under 11.1 B3 ?
by Greg Freemyer 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

For the last couple of years people have been asking for partition support beyond 15 partitions with the new libata sata driver code. I think that is in the vanilla kernel now, but I'm not positive. (Tjun Heo of Novell wrote the kernel code to support it and I think it went in to the vanilla kernel a couple months ago.) I'm not on the factory list, so it may have been discussed there but I was wondering if that limit has now been removed with the 11.1 Beta 3 release? If not, are the any bugzillas addressing this. ie. The problems should now be in user space, not kernel space.

[opensuse] bashrun? How to invoke?
by Greg Freemyer 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

I just saw the posting recommending bashrun on the lizards newsletter (or similar). I installed it on my 11.0 system via the one touch installer in the OBS. Per http://bashrun.sourceforge.net/ I just need to type "bashrun" at the command prompt now to run it. No luck: > bashrun /home/gaf/.config/bashrun/.bashrunrc: line 64: /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh: No such file or directory I tried searching yast software manager for "bash_completion", no luck. Anyone know what I'm missing?
