[opensuse] mplayerplug-in does not work
by Oszkó Albert 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hi all, I try to make mplayerplug-in 3.55 work with firefox 3.0.3 on SuSe 11.0 but it resists all my efforts. When I click to start playing a stream it apparently looks for the address of the stream and then displays that the stream is "Stopped". On the mplayerplug-in homepage it is said to copy the *.xpt file into the components directory of the browser and *.so into plugins drectory. Well, after compiling both files are found in /usr/lib/browser-plugins. Following the instructions I copied *.xpt into /usr/lib/firefox/components but there is no /usr/lib/firefox/plugins. Creating it and putting *.so into it were useless. Does anybody have some idea what should I do? Thanks: Albert Oszko It used to work without any intervention on 10.3

[opensuse] DUMP over SSH : Lost Connection
by Peter Bloomfield 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hi, I am trying to dump a file system on one machine over the net to a second machine using 'dump' over ssh, and I am aware of the potential limitations using dump as I am. The first machine is Fedora 9, the second is SuSE 11 I issue the following commands: ????????setenv RSH /usr/bin/ssh ????????/sbin/dump -L "Level 0" -0 -v -u -f root@machine2:/BckUp/BackUpPC/Machine1_Full_0.dump /dev/mapper/VolGroup00- LogVol00 from which I get the following error ? DUMP: Connection to machine2 established. ? DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Fri Nov 28 10:26:28 2008 ? DUMP: Dumping /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 (/) to /BckUp/BackUpPC/OpenGate_Full_0.dump on host root@machine2 ? DUMP: Excluding inode 8 (journal inode) from dump ? DUMP: Excluding inode 7 (resize inode) from dump ? DUMP: Label: Level 0 ? DUMP: Writing 10 Kilobyte records ? DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] ? DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] ? DUMP: estimated 73855810 blocks. ? DUMP: Lost connection to remote host. At the moment I think that the problem is that even though 'dump' indicates a connection is established, no valid connection is made. At this moment, I am not sure whether the problem is with machine 1 or machine 2, i.e. the ssh_config on machine1 or sshd_config on machine2. I have modified entries in these configuration files, but with no effect. I can ssh/scp/sftp from machine1 to machine2 without any problems. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

[opensuse] Crash "tolerant" file system?
by Anders Norrbring 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

I know.. This has been chewed in articles over and over.. But what are your personal, subjective, feelings about file systems? I want to run something that is fast for use as a system partition, pretty "tolerant" to crashes from disasters like power outages etc. The system partition will reside on a Adaptec RAID-5. I'm currently looking at ext3, ReiserFS and XFS. ReiserFS has always served me good, but as you all know, support and development is going downhill. Ext3 hasn't made itself famous for being fast, and XFS is still a "gray matter" in my world.. Grateful for any ideas!

[opensuse] suse 11.0 mtu setting
by Jeremy Baker 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

I have just moved to suse 11 from 10.3. So far everything is running fine with one exception. Suse 11 does not seem to honour the mtu settings in yast. I let networkmanager handle my connections, which is exactly the same setup I had in 10.3. Any suggestions? -- Jeremy Baker <jab(a)mbcs.ca> GnuPGP fingerprint = EE66 AC49 E008 E09A 7A2A 0195 50EF 580B EDBB 95B6 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] vlc-qt Then libvlc2 Conflicts While Using 10.3 1-click Install For VLC
by Michael Mientus 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

I have a fresh 10.3 install. And I still can't get VLC to install from the 1-click installer on the VLC Web site. openSuSE 1-click Installer http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-suse.html I posted on their forums with no response. Forum Post http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=53091 The first time I try to install I get this conflict: First Conflict http://transmitterdown.textdriven.com/michael/forums/conflicts.txt If I cancel the install and retry then I get this conflict on each subsequent retry. I retried twice. Second Conflict http://transmitterdown.textdriven.com/michael/forums/conflicts2.txt I can build VLC from source. So I am not worried about me. But I'd like to get this 1-click installer working. Do you think I am doing something wrong? Or where should I file a bug: openSuSE or VLC? Build VLC From Source http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/398340-vlc-crashes-build-your-own-v… Thanks in advance.

[opensuse] Cups password
by Koenraad Lelong 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hi, On a Suse 10.1 machine I have a printer that is stopped and I need a password to start it again. I can't remember the password though. How can I reset it ? Or where is the status information stored ? The printer does work, it's a networked printer and via another machine it prints. I restarted CUPS several times, cleared the queue (deleted all files in /var/spool/cups). The printer remains stopped. Should I try rebooting ? Thanks for any help. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong
