That's what I searched on, along with "Linux". There's enough there to search Google on, since that's how I resolved the issue. I just don't recall the message now as I've updated the kernel and resolved the problem on my laptop.

[opensuse] Flash success/nspluginwrapper was: How to obtain 32 bit firefox?
by Simon Roberts 28 May '08

28 May '08

Well, after a bit of jiggery-pokery, I've managed to get the nspluginwrapper working and now have flash in 64bit firefox. I'm intrigued that this "should work" out of the box, but it really didn't for me, so hopefully these notes might help someone else who has the same problem I uninstalled all the bits and pieces (two non-adobe flash players (gnash and ??swfplayer?? or something--I forget now), the flash-plugin and the flash player (why were there two differnent things for this?), mozilla firefox, etc. Then I reinstalled from Yast, just firefox and flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release Then I did "rpm -q -filesbypkg flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release" to determine the name of the actual plugin file (which was reported as /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so) Then I used "nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so" to get the wrapper to notice the 32-bit driver Then I restarted firefox, and it works a treat :) It does seem to be generating some warning messages to stderr, but these don't seem to prevent it from working properly Thanks to all who've helped (and yes, I'm still interested in why this didn't work out of the box, and in helping find out for the benefit of future generations :) Cheers, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.

[opensuse] Can anyone interpret this error message
by jpff 28 May '08

28 May '08

I had this message frequently in 10.3/x6_64 and local opinion was a failing disk. Changed disk, build 11.0b3 and it reappeared so changed IDE cable and it stopped -- for two days and then came back after a reboot for the new kernel, about every 4 mins or so. I looked via Google and it seems that it occurs but I did not find an explanation.

[opensuse] K3B doesn't complete write verification
by Jason Bailey, Sun Advocate Webmaster 28 May '08

28 May '08

I have this odd problem with K3B (using openSUSE 10.3 x86_64) and I'm not sure why. I'm hoping someone can shed light on this. I can burn CDs with K3B, but when I check the write verification box, the program freezes when the write verification begins. Data on the disc is burned properly, but the app hangs. KDE, the kernel, etc. appears to be unaffected. I do have packman as a repository, and I'm wondering if the problem lies somewhere in there, but I don't know.

[opensuse] SiS SATA drivers in 11.0
by Bob Williams 28 May '08

28 May '08

Back in the early days of 10.3, there was a problem with the kernel not supporting SATA drives with certain chipsets (SiS, in my case). At the time, this effectively hosed my SATA based LVM array, but I installed instead onto an IDE drive, re-installed my /home from backups, and waited until the bug was fixed so I can now use my SATA drives. No more LVM, though :( Has this bug been completely eliminated in the 11.0 kernel? IOW, will I be able to boot to a SATA drive, and throw away my IDE drive, or will I still have to have /boot on the IDE drive? -- Bob Registered Linux User #463880 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 10.3, Kernel 2.6.22.17-0.1-default, KDE 3.5.7 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] LVM
by William Hammond 28 May '08

28 May '08

Quick LVM Question. I'm going to set up a system with a SATA II drive. I anticipate that somewhere in the future I may need to add an additional drive. Should I set up the initial drive using LVM or just wait until another drive is needed...? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
