[opensuse] Updater error in panel
by Chris Arnold 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

11.0 x86 64 with kde4. Now when i login, i see a yellow exclamation on zypp (i think it is zypp...whatevere the upadter is on the panel by the clock) and when i hover my mouse over it i get this error: error: failed to mount cd:///?devices=/dev/sr0 on /var/tmp/AP_0x00000002: mounting media failed (mount": only root can do that). I am not logged in as root when i see this and in fact, have not tried to login as root. This worked in the past when logged in as a user and i would just enter root's password and update. Is this a bug or what? How do i fix it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Another issue about 11.0
by Hudibras 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

When booting 11.0 it stops at sshd server, and it says "...dead" for a long time until it finally starts. What's wrong with sshd? It's the first time it appears this error with sshd. Any clue? Many thanks again, Hudibras. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Different kde cursor theme (Ecliz) - worth a look
by David C. Rankin 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

Listmates, I usually don't care about my mouse cursor as long as its clean and has a well defined hot-spot. I ran across a them call Ecliz for kde and it was really neat. Quite different from the ordinary arrow, but neat. I have modified the I-beam cursor to make it visible on a dark background and made the updated package available at: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/linux/kde/Ecliz.tar.bz2 for those that would like to take a look. I have also unblocked most top-level domain now in case you were having trouble in the past. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[opensuse] Where to look at zypper cache in 11.0?
by David C. Rankin 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

Listmates, Has /var/cache/zypp/zypp.db gone the way of the dodo? 20:08 zion~> locate zypp.db 20:11 zion~> The reason for asking is that I found it useful to delete zypp.db on occasion and use zypper ref to keep the file compact. I have no complaints with zypper in 11.0 and it is fast as hell - a really good thing. I also notice the complete new layout in /var/cache/zypp, but curiosity begs an answer. An anal "cat like" tendency. Would there ever be a need for a "zypper ref" anymore? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[opensuse] Easiest way to 'clone' a customised installation ?
by Diego Tognola 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hi, This is related to Mark V's question. Assume I have installed OpenSUSE 10.3 or 11 into a virtual guest machine in VMWare (or equivalent) and customised it, set it up, configured it with all my settings. Now I decide that this is ready to be installed - but in a way such that my settings are installed as well. What is the easiest (fool-proof) way to create an 'image' or Install CD that then can be used to clone the customised system to other real or virtual machines, including my settings ?

[opensuse] Domain field in kdm not showing
by Chris Arnold 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

11.0 x86 64 with kde4. I can join a 2k3 domain but when at the login screen, there is no "domain" field. I can login using domain\user no problems but i need my users to not have to remember that syntax. Also, i noticed in yast->windows domain membership that "offline authentication" does not stay checked. I put a check in that box and click finish and then go back into windows domain membership and that check is not in that box. My smb.conf file does say offline authentication so is this a yast bug? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] GNOME damaged after update today
by Uwe Galle 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hi, I installed 5 mandatory updates today what required a restart. After the restart the following message was displayed: Beim Starten des GNOME-Einstellungsdämons ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Möglicherweise funktionieren einige Dinge, wie z.B. Themen, Klänge oder Hintergrundeinstellungen nicht korrekt. Die letzte Fehlermeldung war: The name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service files Beim nächsten Anmelden wird GNOME weiterhin versuchen, den Einstellungsdämon neu zu starten. The only thread with the same message in english for openSUSE what I found in the Internet is the following: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2007-05/msg01270.html There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The last error message was: The name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service files GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in. Unfortunately, this thread contains no solution. But a Mandriva thread contains the same message and the proposal worked: http://www.mandrivauser.de/viewtopic.php?id=19704 But, the proposal was to do an "urpmi task-gnome". As far as I know openSUSE has no urpmi. Is there a similar possibility to update GNOME in openSUSE? I saw that I have some packages what were updated in the mean time and I want to go sure to not to forget one. At the moment I am not aware of a tool what makes an update for the complete GNOME installation. I made an online update for all displayed packages but this didn't help. Is there perhaps another solution for this problem? Unfortunately the message doesn't tell the user the name and the path of the GNOME Settings Daemon so that it is not possible to look for that daemon without digging deeper. Please help.
