[opensuse] OpenSuSE 10.3 repository problems
by Boris Epstein 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Hello there, Over the last few days I have encountered a number of issues with many - if not all - of the community repositories for OpenSuSE 10.3. A number of RPM's can not be found in the repository even though Yast lists them - and other items from the same repository I could download just fine which means the repository as a whole was online and available. Anyboyd else experience the same thing? Any idea why that is happening? Any help much appreciated as always. Cheers, Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] upgrade 10.3 ==> 11.0
by Hans Witvliet 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

A quick q before i dash of to work.. Normally i allways do a clean install and put the data/config back. Reading the comment from Marcus, i tried to give the update a try. (bad experiences with updates in the days of 6.x) On a P3/512MB with 11.0-B1 KDE4 i did a zypper up, zypper up -t package and a zypper dup, It took some time ;-) but system is up-and-running 11.0 and it didn't even use a single byte of swap! OTOH, ive got a nice number of 10.3 systems, loaded daily with the latest patches. Zypper up runs well, but __dup__ is not on of the options of zypper in 10.3. Neither is there a update option in yast. As neither can not boot from DVD, i can't use the upgrade option from that medium. (all are XEN-images built from an install server) Did i miss something (forgot to install..)

[opensuse] unattended torrent
by jdd 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

hello, I have a hosted server and I would use it to seed 11 torrent. I already have all what I need (iso, torrent, btXX), but I don't know how to start (and what incarnation of bt to start) to have it stay running when I close the ssh link idea? (& is not enough) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] PackageKitd Problem with OpenSUSE 11.0
by Todd Kap 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

I have been using OpenSUSE 11.0 GM for a few days and am unable to use the "Install Software" feature as it is never able to use the package database. It always says that the database is in use by another program. I have gone through all the running processes and have killed a process called "packagekitd" which then allows me to use "Install Software." I looked at Bugzilla and this is listed as a bug (Bug #374043) but it shows fixed. It is definitely not fixed in two machines I installed OpenSUSE 11.0 on yesterday. Both have the same issue. These are brand new installs, not upgrades. I am happy to reopen the bug if I can determine whether it is something unique to my installs or whether I am actually experiencing the bug. Anyone else having a similar issue?

[opensuse] problems with a Hauppauge Win TV PVR2 USB2 video capture device
by Boris Epstein 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Hello all, I've got this device (Hauppauge Win TV PVR2 USB2, kernel module pvrusb2) hooked up to my Dell Vostro laptop running OpenSuSE 10.3. The device seems to be alive but of limited utility. Currently, I can watch one broadcast channel in poor quality (to be expected) - and gthat's it. I can control volume via my remote, but can't even change channels. Thus far, the best I can tell at least part of the problem I am facing is that I do not have a /dev/vbi* device for my tuner. Without it, Yast refuses to scan the channels for me. So that is one area I need help with - namely, I need to find out how to create that device. Additionally, I need to learn how to squeeze the most out of my tuner. So, as always, any and all help much appreciated. Cheers, Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Simple Cad Program for 10.3

Looking for a simple Cad drawing program, don't really need 3d stuff, just drawing a couple pieces of flat metal. I did do a quick look thru the repositories I had setup and did not find much.

Re: [opensuse] Undeletable directory tree, fsck no joy
by Simon Roberts 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

----- Original Message ---- From: Moby <moby(a)mobsternet.com> [...] Attempts to delete those directory trees give the following error: cannot remove `xorg-server-1.4.2/GL': Input/output error ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Small random thoughts that might have no value whatsoever, but: 1) You can buy a 500GB USB drive for about US$100 now. It's really easy to dump your data off, rebuild, and copy back again. Might be the best way to go. 2) I've found that sometimes, when "rm" won't remove something, "unlink" might just be the sledgehammer for the job. 3) If my filesystem was that screwed up, I'd be taking option 1 anyway! Just think of all the other things you can clean up while you're at it... (you didn't actually want to get any real work done this week did you? :) HTH Cheers, Simon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
