[opensuse] Virtualbox+bridged network+Network manager
by Ciro Iriarte 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

Hi, I'm having all kind of issues with VMware Server on Opensuse 11.0 and decided to use VirtualBox, the only issue is that it doesn't handle bridged networks automagically and NetworkManager has to be disabled. Having seen the xen bridge schema on sles|opensuse, is it possible to adapt it to work with VirtualBox?, that way the physical interface will be renamed as peth0 and the bridged interface will take the eth0 name, that way NetworkManager should see it and work as a usual. Any thoughts? Regards, Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] BASH - while read; howto read last line in file without blank line at end?
by David C. Rankin 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

Listmates, I'm stumped on another simple BASH problem. How do I read the last line of a file with a while loop without requiring a blank line at the end of the file? Simple example I'm stuck on: { while read alias url; do echo -e "${alias}\t${url}" done } < ~/linux/scripts/config/repos The repos flat text file (shown with --- above and below to show no blank line at the end) is: --- <snip: other repos> database http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database/openSUSE_10.3/ oss http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ oss-src http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/src-oss/suse/ lastline temp-last_line_test --- If there is no blank line at the end of the file, the while loop reads the "oss-src" line, but does not read the "lastline". If there is a blank line at the end, it reads "lastline" just fine. What is the trick to be able to read the last line of the repos file regardless of whether there is a blank at the end or not? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[opensuse] A way to edit ebcdic files on linux.
by Wendell Nichols 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

I have nfs and samba mounts from my linux workstation to several IBM mainframes and As400's. Their files are in ebcdic and I would like to edit them on my workstation. I know that it is possible to have translation done at the nfs level but that would cause other problems. What I would really like to do is install the ebcdic charset tables in an editor like kate and edit the files "naturally". anyone ever done that? My only other alternative is to use EditPad Pro on a windows box via windows shares... blech. wcn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] NX client cannot connect. gets: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key fixed
by Wendell Nichols 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

I upgraded my nxclient to 3.2.14 today and couldn't connect to any of my existing sessions on server machines. That is very bad because I make my living doing that! After a lot of googling and trial and error I found that I had to do: xhost + and the connection was successful. The message 'Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key' is not a very good lead in this case and I've never had to fiddle with xserver permissions before. I'm writing this note in hopes that it will get indexed and other people who get this message will not waste half the morning as I have... wcn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.0: Automount entries in Yast partitioner & Netapp .snapshot as drive on GNOME desktop
by Bernd Nies 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

Hi, Who had the idea that beginning with openSUSE 11.0 - the Yast partitioner should display automount mounted NFS directories? - the .snapshot directory on a Netapp NFS home directory should be displayed as drive icon on the GNOME desktop? This is confusing. How can this new antifeature be removed? Bye, Bernd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No Sound with Flash 10
by Jim herold 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

I'm running OpenSuSE 11.0 x86_64. I recently decided to upgrade nspluginwrapper to 1.1.2 (built from source, not currently available in any repositories) so that I could run the 32bit Flash plugin in Firefox. I can see Flash video just fine, but can't seem to get the audio working. Anytime I try it I get the following message: which: no soundwrapper in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/bin/games:/opt/kde3/bin:/opt/cross/bin:/usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:/usr/lib/qt3/bin) I've tried a number of things based on searches on the Internet including making sure I have 32bit ALSA libraries installed, libasound 32bit installed, and I also tried installing KDE3 multimedia libraries (I'm run PAWM for a window manager in case that matters), as well as Pulse libraries. I tried running alsaconf and stepped through to make sure ALSA is setup correctly. I am getting sound from other applications just fine, and only have issues with the Flash plugin. I also noticed that there's a libflashsupport.so and searched for an updated version, but there doesn't seem to be one. I currently have uninstalled libflashsupport.so. Anyone have any ideas what may be the issue here? Any help is greatly appreciated. jh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Compiz from X11:Compiz repository
by Teruel de Campo MD 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

Problem I can not make compiz to work with the new versions. I'm running opensuse 11 (64b) 2.6.25.18-0.2-default with all the updates. The version I am running (and it works perfect) is the 0.7.8-9.1 from the old repository site X11:XGL. When I install the new version from X11:Compiz, it does not work. This is what I am doing. Install the new version with yast. Then go to the Configuration desktop/kde components/session manager and there I select compiz. Then restart X (and also try reboot). Now it seems to load compiz and the windows do not have the title bar but nothing works. I use the ccsm and the setup seems to be OK. Well I back in the old version with the Compiz Fusion Icon and everything is working OK. I post this message to see if I am doing something wrong so I can correct it.

[opensuse] slow SuSe 11
by f.costen＠cs.man.ac.uk 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

Dear Sirs, I installed SuSe 11 on my laptop and my normal usage of the laptop during the week is 1. I login to the laptop from another Unix/linux box 2. run the thunderbird and firefox on the laptop and send the window to the terminal in front of me 3. use these software on the Unix/Linux box. So far(SuSe 10 and 10.1, 10.2 ) I did not have any problem on these software but after the installation of SuSe 11, the window behaviour, file opening are pretty slow. Could you give me any suggestion on the way to solve this issue ? thanks Fumie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
