[opensuse] Weatherbug
by Jerry Feldman 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

I installed Weatherbug for Linux, one SuSE 10.3. Once I execute the applet, it installs on the tray and displays the correct information for the selected location, but after a while it tends not to refresh and I end up with an incorrect temperature in the tray and the buglet shows nothing for hi, low and temp. I exit, and restart and it works fine. I also have it installed on my Ubuntu laptop where it works fine. Since both systems operate though the same router at home, the router is eliminated from the mix. -- -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846

[opensuse] Computer freezes a lot
by TerraNova 66 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

For a while now, I have been having problems with my laptop (Acer Aspire 9400). It freezes up for 30 to 45 seconds on a fairly regular basis.This problem started with SuSE 10.2 and is continuing with 10.3 (soon to be 11.0). It's most likely to happen when, after a period of time idle, I click on something or try to use the keyboard. It is most frequent when I am doing something graphics intensive, such as editing photos. When this freezing started, I added 512MB RAM to bring it up to 1GB, but it didn't make any difference. I believe the problem is hard drive related and I am including a part of /var/log/messages which shows what's happening during the time of a freeze. I am wondering if I should replace the current drive with a new one. The machine is currently dual booting WinXP and openSuSE 10.3 I think I know *what* is happening. Unfortunately I don't know *why* or *how* to fix it. The times given below indicate a freeze of 11 seconds. However, it usually lasts longer than that. There have been other posts here re: freezing, but they do not seem to relate to the problem I'm currently having. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jun 16 21:18:51 copernicus kernel: ata1.01: qc timeout (cmd 0xa0) Jun 16 21:18:51 copernicus kernel: ata1.01: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen Jun 16 21:18:51 copernicus kernel: ata1.01: cmd a0/00:00:00:00:20/00:00:00:00:00/b0 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 0 Jun 16 21:18:51 copernicus kernel: res 51/20:03:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/b0 Emask 0x5 (timeout) Jun 16 21:18:56 copernicus kernel: ata1: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0xd1) Jun 16 21:19:01 copernicus kernel: ata1: device not ready (errno=-16), forcing hardreset Jun 16 21:19:01 copernicus kernel: ata1: soft resetting link Jun 16 21:19:01 copernicus kernel: ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 Jun 16 21:19:02 copernicus kernel: ata1.01: configured for UDMA/33 Jun 16 21:19:02 copernicus kernel: ata1: EH pending after completion, repeating EH (cnt=4) Jun 16 21:19:02 copernicus kernel: ata1: EH complete Jun 16 21:19:02 copernicus kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 156301488 512-byte hardware sectors (80026 MB) Jun 16 21:19:02 copernicus kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off Jun 16 21:19:02 copernicus kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 Jun 16 21:19:02 copernicus kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA Jun 16 21:19:02 copernicus kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 156301488 512-byte hardware sectors (80026 MB) Jun 16 21:19:02 copernicus kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off Jun 16 21:19:02 copernicus kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 Jun 16 21:19:02 copernicus kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA ------------------------------------------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] boot at install (11)
by jdd 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

I had a failure of grub (looks like) at install of 11. the true thing is than at reboot windows was launched before any menu shown (from dvd, start HD, XP starts). However, after inspecting the install all was good. only problem, the screen was not detected and so a 20" was installed as 800x600, but this was easily fixed. Grub was ok. and all starts ok now. However I have to start windows by default (and it's done ok). So I wonder if for the first reboot after install, the waiting time of the menu is not set to zero, making the computer reboot instantly... to windows. can somebody confirm this (without having to reinstall...) 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] Elitegroup Motherboard MCP61 Sound
by Sudhir 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

I have assembled a PC based on the Elitegroup motherboard with a MCP61P based chip. SuSE 10.3 installed and recognised all the hardware but there is no sound. The specification of the system is: AMD 5200+ dual core Samsung 500GB Sata drive 2GB ram MCP High Definition audio 6 USB ports 10/100 Lan port Nvidia GeForce8500 graphics card with 1GB ram (PCI Express) Realtek PCI network card Unbranded PCI firewire card. SuSE recognises the sound chip as "MCP61 High Definition Audio" but on testing, there in no sound output. I have trried running alsa conf and this shows that the sound card in an Intel based card and sets it up as such. There is still no sound playback. For now, I have connected a USB soundcard (Creative External 24-bit) for sound. Can anyone give me some guidance to get the sound working please?

If you don't install your product as RPM, then you must call insserv (see 'man insserv' for details). insserv creates the runtime links based on what you listed in Required-Start. If you create RPMs, you should call the fillup_and_insserv macro with the appropriate arguments.

[opensuse] Multiple Network Card Problem on openSUSE 10.3
by Masim "Vavai" Sugianto 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

Hi, I have 2 network card, the first one is onboard network card and another is attached wifi card. I can connect to the network with each of them alone, but I cannot connect the two network card in a same time both with knetworkmanager (YAST tell me that I MUST used ifconfig for multiple card) or manual ifconfig. I've tried with same IP set (192.168.0.x) or different IP (192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x) or trying with DHCP client with no luck. Is this possible to get the two network card (onboard and wifi) connected in a same time ? in previous, I've successfully connected with 2 network card (both of them are wired) on openSUSE 10.2 -- Best Regards, Masim "Vavai" Sugianto /************************************************************/ Blog (ID) : http://www.vavai.com/blog/index.php Blog (EN) : http://www.vavai.net Community : http://www.opensuse.or.id /************************************************************/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Xen - kernel BUG at drivers/xen/core/evtchn.c
by Mike Peters 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

Hi, I'm currently running Xen (xen-3.0.3_11774-20.i586) on openSUSE 10.2 and today suffered a kernel panic "kernel BUG at drivers/xen/core/evtchn.c". The issue appears to be the one fixed by the following patch: http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?rev/914304b3a3da I can see that there is an updated version of Xen in YOU, xen-3.0.3_11774-23.i586. Can anyone tell me if the above patch has been applied in this latest version? (from the .info file it appears not) Or, if not, is the issue likely to be patched in an upcoming release?

Listmates, Several of the sites have small 11.0 dvds on them. What are they? Are they just partials or are they some type of net install disk?
