[opensuse] Hopefully simple printing question
by Greg Freemyer 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

All, OS 10.3 / KDE / Network Printer (HP 4500 Color Laser) My printer has somehow stalled. Everything I print goes to a queue and never pops out of the printer. I know the printer is not the problem because I have a XP VM on the same machine and I can print from there fine. How do I tell OS to start printing again.

[opensuse] grsync backup to fat32 problem
by Philippe Landau 11 May '08

11 May '08

I am trying to copy the contents of an ext3 partition to an external usb drive with a fat32 partition. The first copy copied most files, but there were files with special characters in their name which failed to copy. I used krename to change the file names on the ext2 partition but that did not change the file names. So i renamed them by hand. Now i used grsync to update the fat32 partition. I get the following error message: "rsync: opendir "/disk2/lost+found" failed: Permission denied (13) rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9]" And the following rsync output: "*** Launching RSYNC command: rsync -r -t -x -v --progress --delete --size-only -u --modify-window=1 /disk2/ /media/Elements/ building file list ... 1400 files... 6750 files to consider IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9] sent 278140 bytes received 20 bytes 556320.00 bytes/sec total size is 275813232309 speedup is 991563.25" the ext3 partition disk2 now contains 6277 files, 472 subfolders 256.9 GB (275 815 358 133) the fat32 partition 6282 files, 472 subfolders 256.9GB (275 837 017 758) It looks like the files with the special characters in their name were renamed as hidden files and now can not be deleted ? .eBook - Psychologie, Psychiatrie - Auszug [Der Psychotherapeut - Springer Verlag 2000] - Die Behandlung Von Borderline-Persnlichkeitsstrungen.pdf.1x10Rv But even after removing the trailing dot, the file is now 3 times on fat32: eBook - Psychologie, Psychiatrie - Auszug [Der Psychotherapeut - Springer Verlag 2000] - Die Behandlung Von Borderline-Persnlichkeitsstrungen.pdf eBook - Psychologie, Psychiatrie - Auszug [Der Psychotherapeut - Springer Verlag 2000] - Die Behandlung Von Borderline-Persoenlichkeitsstoerungen.pdf Even when unchecking "windows compatibility" in grsync, i get: "rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9]" I did fsck -p for /dev/disk2: no errors. Are these rsync limitations ? Kind regards Philippe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] nfs_update_inode: inode X mode changed, Y to Z
by Adam Schrotenboer 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

Running SLES 10 on multiple compute nodes, with an OpenSuSE 10.2 NFS server, and I am receiving the above log message on a semi-regular basis in the NFS client system-logs. When this occurs, one of the users receives an error (although there seems to be no way to easily collate the users experience with the system log, short of using the timestamp). Sometimes it's "read/write error", sometimes it's more specific about something that was a file now being a directory (SVN tends to be rather more verbose) I have been able to find some references to this problem in Google, but no solutions, and no discussion about what the problem stems from, nor if any fixes have been attempted.

Tried to post this on the suse-sles-e list, but apparently it is dead already....

[opensuse] SLES, openSuSE and release cycles... what's the plan?
by Frank Steiner 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Hi, I tried to figure out (via the SLES support) when SLES 11 will be released. The answer was that SLES 11 will likely (not guaranteed) have a common code base with opensuse 11.1 and thus should appear in spring 2009 or so. More detailed information couldn't be given due to legal issues. Maybe I can get some general statements about this topic from some openSuSE and SLES developers here, I don't know where else to discuss this. So far, SLES was supposed to be released in a 2-year-cycle, from 8 to 10 it was even less (22 months). With the information from the support I wonder if this 2-year period is still targeted at or not. It looks like opensuse 11.0 will take very long according to the schedule. To keep the 2-year-cycle for SLES, SLES11 would have to share the code base with openSuSE 11.0 (and even then it would be short due to the 2-3 months delay between the SuSE and the SLES version in the past). When sharing with openSuSE 11.1 and assuming the same long development cycle for 11.1 as for 11.0, SLES 11 would indeed appear sometime in spring 2009. Thus, being closer to a 3-year-cycle than to a 2-year. Maybe the decision about SLES 11 and the code base for it hasn't been made yet, but I would like to know what's the general plan for the future. Will Novell try to keep the 2-year release cycle for SLES? If not, we must consider switching to sth. else :-( 2 years is already hard for servers that we use for software development, webservices and things like that. The repositories make it possible to stay with one SLES for 2 years, but after that we need a fresh, up-to-date installation with all the lastest tomcat stuff etc. (and yes, Crispin, of course I'm also worrying about our "SLES for servers, same SuSE codebase for clients" setup that we discussed once in the past ;-) Although I'm able to work around this now with a combined SLES+SLED installation :-)) cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
