[opensuse] zypper problem updating libucil2
by Ted Markowitz 22 May '08

22 May '08

Folks, I've been trying to update all my packages using 'zypper -n up -t package' for a couple of days now, but I keep getting the following error (see below) which appears to be a problem with the Packman repository and this particular RPM file. Any idea how I can get the repository owner to fix it? Or perhaps there's another workaround I can use short of turning off Packman altogether? TIA for the help. //ted --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Entering non-interactive mode. > * Reading repository 'openSUSE:10.3' cache > * Reading repository 'openSUSE BuildService - GNOME:STABLE' cache > * Reading repository '10.3/KDE3/Backports' cache > * Reading repository '10.3/KDE3/Community' cache > * Reading repository '10.3/Packman' cache > * Reading repository 'openSUSE BuildService - GNOME:Community' cache > * Reading repository '10.3/OpenOffice/Extras' cache > * Reading repository 'NVIDIA Repository' cache > * Reading repository 'Java 1.6' cache > * Reading repository '10.3/oss' cache > * Reading repository '10.3/non-oss' cache > * Reading repository '10.3/KDE3/Playground' cache > * Reading repository '10.3/KDE3/Core' cache > * Reading repository 'openSUSE BuildService - Mozilla' cache > * Reading repository 'openSUSE BuildService - KDE:Community' cache > * Reading repository '10.3/updates' cache > * Reading repository '10.3/VLC VideoLan' cache > * Reading repository '10.3/X11:XGL' cache > * Reading installed packages [100%] > The following packages are going to be upgraded: > kdegraphics3-pdf libucil2 libunicap2 Azureus libffmpeg0 ffmpeg > kdegraphics3-scan > kdegraphics3 kdegraphics3-kamera kdegraphics3-postscript > > Overall download size: 16.5 M.

[opensuse] 11.0 Beta 3, kernel source install
by David C. Rankin 22 May '08

22 May '08

Listmates, Ran into an issue installing vbox linux additions on 11 beta3. Looks like the kernel source wasn't fully configured on install. Here is the error received attempting to compile to vbox LinuxAdditions reproduced here with "make modules_prepare". Anyone else seen this one? Other than this hiccup, 11.0 looks like it "will be the best openSuSE ever!" I would still like to see a little sterner warning on the KDE4 checkbox during install. As worded, seems like it is just a complete as KDE3, just less tested. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

I'll probably regret asking this, but what *would* make you happy? TPTB have said that KDE4 is to be included as *an option*, not a replacement for KDE3 and not the default option. That doesn't seem to be making you happy at all, so as an outsider, I'm not really clear as to what it is that you want other than to shout into the wind. I'm sure that's not the case, but you're not being particularly clear. So what sort of answer would make you happy? Leave out all the invective, and just answer that simple question. One sentence, simply stated. Not a paragraph, not a novel-length missive. One sentence, that's all I ask. Be concise, be clear. Please.

[opensuse] Webcam driver compile problem
by John 22 May '08

22 May '08

I've tried the suggested solution but no go. How do I fix this error message on 10.3 64bit test -e include/linux/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || ( \ echo; \ echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \ echo " include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing."; \ echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \ echo; \ /bin/false) m Came as a suprise that make oldconfig and make prepare do something different when run as above. I've installed kernel source and headers etc. John -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Using the crypto filesystem
by Bogdan Cristea 22 May '08

22 May '08

I am trying to mount a file as encrypted filesystem on openSuSE 10.3 following indications from: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Using_the_Crypto_File_System#Use_a_file_as_encry… I am able to execute the first two steps with no problem: 1. dd if=/dev/urandom of=loop_fs bs=1024 count=20000 2. sudo /sbin/losetup -e 3des /dev/loop0 loop_fs but at the third step I get an error and I am not able to figure out what it is: 3. sudo /sbin/mke2fs /dev/loop0 mke2fs 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) mke2fs: Device size reported to be zero. Invalid partition specified, or partition table wasn't reread after running fdisk, due to a modified partition being busy and in use. You may need to reboot to re-read your partition table. Can anyone tell me please how to solve this issue? -- Bogdan Cristea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

No, you can't get them when there's NO OS installed yet.....it barfs at he very beginning of the install, BEFORE it can install "anything."

[opensuse] mySQL Query Browser Hangs when selecting a schema
by Cornelius Franken 22 May '08

22 May '08

Hi Guys I downloaded the mysql query browser from the opensuse site to help me be a little more productive when developing MySQL. I also downloaded the MySQL administrator RPM. The admin app works fine. However when I use the query browser it hang when I select a schema. If I don't log in with a default schema it works fine. I can also write queries by using fully qualified object names ie. `dbname'.'tablename'. However if I select a schema visually or even do the 'use dbname' it dies on me and zombies the process using 99% CPU. I noticed some bug reports about this on the opensuse and MySQL bug pages. There is even a patch that is mentioned. Has anyone else run into this problem and have a solution?

[opensuse] More info. - for openSUSE team on 11.0
by Fred A. Miller 22 May '08

I spend a good deal of time tonight, trying to discover what is wrong, in part anyway, with the DVD install of 11.0. First, it doesn't matter what flavor of window manager one selects....it barfs every time. I've d'l the image 3 times and make 3 DVDs and tried installs on 1 HP desktop and 1 Dell laptop. I just tried on an IBM dual P3 all SCSI box.........SAME thing on all boxen! What appears to happen is that there's a bug in a script when the install gets to select the "minimal file selection" or something worded like that. It also dies on an upgrade from 10.3. 'Doesn't do much good to get the bugs worked out when one can't install from the ISO.

[opensuse] Howto call and execute a remote script in bash? Is it rsh or nothing?
by David C. Rankin 22 May '08

22 May '08

Listmates, I don't know if this is possible without socket programming, but is there anyway I can call a local script that would execute a script on a remote machine? Basically, I have several remote servers at the office. I check/test updates on my home server/testbox before updating the boxes at work. After I have confirmed the updates at home, I would like to call a script that would cause the update script on the remote machine to run. I can't figure out how to get past establishing the ssh connection. I can connect just fine, but that's were it ends, I'm on the remote box and it is waiting for me to do something. Can I modify the remote .bashrc and pass some ssh parameter to cause .bashrc to run the script? Am I stuck with rsh? As always any help or point to the right man page will be greatly appreciated. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
