[opensuse] problem with OpenSUSE 11.0 Alpha3 dvd media
by Tamas Sarga 30 Mar '08

30 Mar '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'd like to try OpenSUSE 11.0. I downloaded http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0-Alpha3/iso/torrent/openSUSE-… md5sum of the .torrent file is correct according to http://ftp.novell.hu/pub/mirrors/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse/distribution/11.… I burned it to a dvd+rw with k3b with verify option. It said the burning was OK! When I booted from the disc, I chose verify media, and it said the media was broken. I tried to burn to another disc, the result was the same. Is it a known bug? Should I continue the installation anyway? TIA.

[opensuse] Disappeared Panel
by Stan Goodman 30 Mar '08

30 Mar '08

The Panel of my KDE Desktom has disappeared in mid-session. I do not associate this with any action of mine. How can I get it back? In the absense of the chameleon at the left end, I do not know how to call up a command line. How is that done? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] / as a LV
by LDB 30 Mar '08

30 Mar '08

I hope this list can accommodate the SLES product, a well. Does anyone have any caveats about implementing "/" as a LV, especially with SuSE 10 SP1? Thanks, LDB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello I want to backup my old svcd collection on hard drive. I can extract mpegs with vcdxrip, but don't see how to keep the svcd structure, I can't rad it in konqueror (nor even openit with video apps) (I can do on an other computer with win, so I know the svcd is good - vcdxrip, however, gives an error (++ WARN: bad size for ISO9660 directory (304d) should be (2048)!) but works thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://clairedodin.voices.com/ http://www.clairedodin.com/ http://claire.dodin.net/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Computer keeps ejeting CD-Rom
by Matthias Bach 30 Mar '08

30 Mar '08

Hi! I have an old MaxDATA PC a PIII 600 Mhz on an Asus CUBX Motherboard. The PC has a Mitsumi FX4820 CD-Rom drive. After installing OpenSUSE 10.3 the computer keeps ejecting any not ativly used CD after a view Minutes. It seems to be possible to keep it from unmounting and ejecting the CD by using the CD as the current working directoy, but as this is a KDE PC where usually no console is used this is not a real workaround. The PC was running Windows 2000 before, where the problem did not occur. I also had to force Linux to use ACPI, as the Bios claims not even to support APM and the computer therefore wouldn't power off after shutdown. However the CD problem existed before and still persists.

[opensuse] New x86_64 10.3 install and lockups - Per did you fix yours?
by David C. Rankin 30 Mar '08

30 Mar '08

List (mostly for Per Jessen), New Tyan Tomcat K8E S2865ANRF Socket939 with Opteron 185, (2 Gig OCX Platinum -- certified by OCX in Denmark and returned 2 weeks ago) and a pair of Seagate 500G drives in raid 1. The damn thing continuously continues to lock up with the 10.3 x86_64 install freshly put on it? I have eliminated the ram issue by running 4 sticks of confirmed good ram in (a) standalone 64 bit with 1G stick, (b) 2G dual-channel 64 bit in dimm 1 & 3, (c) standalone 128 bit 1G stick in dimm 1 and 2G with 2 128 bit sticks in dimm 1 & 2, and still these random lock occur. Power is from a Corsair 550W powersupply. lm-sensors says all voltages and temps are great. The mother board has a bios code window (LCD) on the motherboard and I have caught all the bios codes and all the codes say everything is OK. I have gone through the bios and turned anything non-necessary off (Ser 1, Ser 2, Parallel, AC97 sound, etc.) Doesn't make any difference. Temperature isn't a problem either. The box is an Antec p182 case w/3 120mm fans, core 1 temps idle at 30 degrees C and are 37-38 under load. The core 2 temps idle at 23 and average 30 when underload. The bois PC Health and lm-sensors temps match almost exactly. All well short of the 74 degree safe operating limit and well short of the 85 degree shutdown temp. I am thinking about setting 2 sticks of dynamite under the box just to make me feel better if I can't find a solution. I hate it when new toys break! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
