[opensuse] Time Issues
by Keith B. Boykin 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Good Morning, I have a issue I have had since installing OSS 11.0 RC1. I have a a box now with OSS 11.0, KDE4, RT61 PCI wireless, 160GB SATA HDD, and 2 GB DDR2 Memory. I dual-boot with Vista (yeah I know, but need windows for some specific apps and work software that won't run under Crossover-Pro 7.0). My mainboard is a ECS P4M800PRO-M. Now the issue. Now matter what I do and how many times I set the correct time in CMOS, every time I boot OSS, the time is off by 4 hrs. Yes, I have the correct timezone and region setup. I manually change it,but get "Unable to contact time server." when I hit the apply button. I have OSS 11.0 w/KDE4 on my Toshiba Laptop and no such problem, so it is not KDE4. No issues at all with date. Any config files I need to look at and fix? I upgraded to GM from RC1. Any other pointers would be greatly appreciated. --Keith -- Praise God from whom all blessings flow. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

25 Jun '08

I installed a few days ago, and somehow wound up with a virtual duplication: ../11.0/repo/non-oss/ (120) ../11.0/repo/non-oss/suse (default) Should one be deleted? If so, which? -- "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?" Matthew 7:12 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse] restricted formats howto
by Felix Miata 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Where is it? http://en.opensuse.org/Restricted_Formats is missing links to anything useful getting them to work, while http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=Category:Howto seems to have only bits and pieces, with no real guide how or where to proceed to get mpeg or mp3 players to play anything. Seems the index is missing some page that runs down the various formats and then points to what's needed to get them to work.

The printer approach is fine when you are just doing static documents for prepress. However, with this approach one looses features such as hyerlinks and hyperlined TOC, etc. Charles

[opensuse] OpenSuse 11 freezeups where 10.x had none!
by Moby 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

A brief tale of two systems. System 1: Barebones "server" install running basic OpenSuse with SSLExplorer and nothing else. System uses EXT3. Installed initially with OpenSuSE 10.0, and upgraded successfully with zero issues to 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and now 11.0. System runs great. System is a VMWare-Server guest running under VMWare Server on a host running Windows 2003. Machine CPU is Intel Pentium III. System 2: Full Gnome desktop install. Uses ReiserFS. Initially installed with 9.3 (I think!). Successfully upgraded to 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 with zero issues. System runs by itself (it is not a guest nor does it host any guest OSes) on an AMD Athlon XP 3000+. Recently upgraded to 11.0 which brought on the onset of the problem. The problem manifests itself with random system hard-freezes (no keyboard response etc ... have to power-cycle). Originally it appeared that system would freeze when running Gnome as a non-root user (about 4 freezes within 30 mins of coming up). Then that seemed to go away after removing powersaved but that was a fluke. System stayed up for about two or so days and then froze up again requiring a hard start. On startup, system ran ok for about 30 or so minutes until put under load (DVD recode) when it would freeze up again. Rebooted system to command line (had to run fsck a few times to recover from the hard starts). Logged in as root, put system under load (rpmbuild -ba --clean xorg-....server). System froze up again within 2 minutes. At this time I am at a complete loss as to where the issue lies - do I blame ReiserFS and convert (backup/restore) the system? Do I downgrade (backup/restore) to 10.3? Any and all (within reason!) ideas are welcome.

[opensuse] Firefox 3
by Joseph Loo 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

I just got my upgrade on firefox 3.01.1. I have been noticing some strange things on it. I do not know if it is my configuration or I need to do something. I have found the following: 1. the help->about moziala firefox generates a set of unprintable characters. 2. the favorites do not seem to work. Do I have to export it and redo an import? If so how do I go about it. 3. It does not seem to ever complete a page. I have it open to Yahoo and it is now about 10 minutes with the little spin wheel keeps going. Has anyone seen this kind of problem? -- Joseph Loo jloo(a)acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to RAID /boot?
by James Knott 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

I recently installed OpenSUSE 11.0 on a server with 4 SCSI drives. While I followed the instructions in this link, to set up /boot on RAID1, the system was not bootable, with invalid partition table errors. When I install without using RAID for /boot, it boots properly. Any idea on how to get RAID to work for this? tnx jk http://en.opensuse.org/How_to_install_openSUSE_on_software_RAID -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
