[opensuse] Need help installing SAR (without CD)
by Dirk Moolman 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

I have tried copying the packages I need, from CD to a machine, and then ftp'ing it to the Linux server that I need to install it on, but there are so many dependencies, it is starting to drive me crazy. All I need to do, is install SAR, to get performance statistics from a server (but I cannot install it from CD - the server is in another city and I need to ftp the software to that server). There must be a painless way of doing this. How can I do this, without loading the CD's - are there packages that include the dependancies, so that I can just install it all in just one go ? (and do it safely so that I don't affect the existing packages on the server - server belongs to one of our clients).

[opensuse] installation directory in python distutils?
by Eike Nicklas 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hello OpenSuse-Team, [I hope, this is the correct mailing list, but I couldn't find one that seemed to suit better.] I am currently writing a small application in Python and use distutils to distribute it. I tested the installation on different distributions and it worked fine everywhere (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, even on Windows), but on OpenSuse, I had the following problem: I install an icon in setup.py with setup(....., data_files = [('share/myapp', 'data/someicon.png')], ...) According to http://docs.python.org/dist/node13.html this icon should be installed to sys.prefix/share/myapp/someicon.png and I use this path in my application to access the icon. In OpenSuse, however, the icon (and all other files) are installed under /usr/local, although sys.prefix is '/usr' and thus my application gives an error, because the icon can not be found. Of course, I could write a workaround and additionally test /usr/share/... for the icon, but that would be quite an unsatisfactory solution. Is there a certain reason for this behavior? Why does OpenSuse behave differently than most other distributions? Thank a lot for your help, Eike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Suse 10.2 +FireVox +Firefox
by Art Fore 01 Feb '08

Has any gotten Firevox to work with Firefox? I have installed freetts, clc-4-tts, and firevox, but still not working. I can do the demon from the firevox /usr/share/docs/firevox directory and get the speach, Firefox has the CLc-firefox extensions, aabout:plugins shows the libjavaplugin_oji.so that is apparently required. Any suggestions? Art -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] swat service requires admind
by Dave Plater 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hi I tried to enable swat in yast xinetd and a box told me I had to install admind but the package is nowhere to be seen. I tried searching opensuse and in software management. I'm trying to get samba working properly with a couple of vista boxes and thought it might help. Has anybody encountered this problem or is it a bug? I'm running a mostly factory system.

Hi all, after last kernel update to 2.6.22.16 and nvidia driver update to 169.09-0.1, the compiz window decorator fails to load, and I need to disable compiz to have all working again. Did anyone meet the same problem? Does anyone know how to solve it?

[opensuse] GRUB will not boot up second windows partition
by Marc Chamberlin 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

I had something go drastically wrong with a Windows XP partition on a dual boot system (with SuSE) which is preventing it (Windows) from booting up properly. So I decided to purchase a second drive and create a new partition on this disk drive and reinstall Windows XP there. To accomplish this, for some darn reason only Microsoft knows, I had to disconnected my original drive in order to reinstall Windows XP on my new second drive, only when it was in the first SATA port position (I suspect this has something to do with the fact that I have an OEM reinstall disk for Win XP but that is only a guess...). I then reconnected the original drive into my second SATA slot. That much was successful and with the new XP I was able to at least read and start recovering files from the old XP partition. As I MOSTLY use SuSE 10.3 I decided to switch the order of the drives so that my original drive was again the first drive on my system and boot from it. As the boot menu was still referring to the original broken version of Windows XP, I booted up SuSE and attempted to fix GRUB (via YaST) so that it would also let me boot up the new XP partition. This is where I ran into troubles. Even though I am telling GRUB that the new XP partition is on my second drive, in the first primary partition, /dev/sdb0, it will not boot it up when I select it. Instead it continues to try an boot up the original broken XP that in now located on my first drive /dev/sda0. I even let the YaST boot manager find and suggest the possible operating systems and build a GRUB boot menu, and it properly found both XP partitions and made entries in the boot menu for each. BUT booting either still results in only the first Windows XP partition trying to boot up which as I said fails. If I unplug the drive that has this broken XP and SuSE on it, and reconfigure the SATA cables appropriately, then the new version of Windows XP will boot up fine, so I know there is nothing wrong with it. So I am lost and confused... Can anyone offer me advise on how to get this stubborn boot loader to do what I want it to? (That is to allow me to boot up my new second Win XP?) I REALLY do NOT want to have to reinstall SuSE as that would be a LOT of work for me!!!
