[opensuse] How the upgrade process works?
by Tamas Sarga 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I mirrored my working system and upgraded the mirror from 10.3 to 11.0. I have some confusions. 1. I changed all of my repositories to 11.0 (update, vlc, mozilla, XGL, Oss, packman, nvidia, KDE:backports, non-oss) and enabled them. I choose the default update by patterns mode and don't change the patterns. The package manager said, there is some dependency errors, for example imagemagic and libmagic didn't have the same versions. I said ignore dependency to all problems and did the install. I booted to my new system and (1 hours after the beginning of the upgrade) checked for updates with software manager. It shown 600 MB updates. I updated and reseted the remembered dependency solvations and verified the system. There is only one error, the others seems to solved by the 600 MB update. I confused, because I don't think that 600 MB update was synced while the upgrade process run. So what could cause this? How upgrade process works? 2. The upgrade process deleted 88 packages. It is normal? There was a lot of libs. Just a question that aren't 88 deleted packages too lot? TIA.

[opensuse] font problem
by Sergey Mkrtchyan 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

List, I have a small font problem in openSUSE 11.0 with KDE 3.5. I did some adjustments of the default fonts, just changing them to the other font and different sizes, but now in some applications fonts look kind of bold. For example gmail in firefox (also in konqueror) looks like all the fonts are in bold, same with skype. in root's account they are fine though. I tried to change DPI to 96(didn't change anything) and changing to 120 even got them bigger. Any ideas where I can change it?

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.0 on Thinkpad T61 with NVidia
by Sergey Mkrtchyan 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Hi List, Having had sleepless night waiting for the release, I finally installed 11.0 on my thinkpad. Aside of feeling kind of weird with so much changes, there are some problems I'm having. I've installed NVidia drivers via 1-click install, they went fine, but then I had some problems activating 3d, sax2 -r would just bring me to the runlevel 3, then after init3/init5 come back to gui, and I was not able to activate 3d again. Then I did nvidia-xconfig, sax2 -r and I don't remeber on what exact moment, but I could activate 3d, and even enable desktop effects, cube, etc... The problem is that with all that, the driver doesn't seem to be properly installed, for example, if I activate one window, the other windows loose their title bars, and when I try to switch back to the other windows, it "shows" that they are active but I cannot move them, trying to move brings to the weird moves of the other window, which was active before. I cannot close windows, close button activates when I move the mouse over it (red background) but it won't close no matter how many times I click it. I have to do left click close on the taskbar to actually close it. I also had close/minimize/maximize buttons just dissappear leaving only green squares in their places couple of times, and the system is kind of slow. Anybody experiencing the same? I'd really like to get it working, though it seems it will take a while to get used to it, everything seems to be somewhere else now.

[opensuse] eeePC with openSUSE 10.3
by Jimmy PIERRE 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Greetings, I convinced my wife to let me put openSUSE 11 yesterday. That attempt was KO. I attempted openSUSE 10 with the documentation on openSUSE.org. Went pretty well, *except* that there is no LAN or WiFi. Any help appreciated as there might just be a dicorce in the end :-) Best wishes, Jimmy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenSUSE 11.0 and man pages
by Emmanuel Briot 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Hi all, One small issue with openSUSE: if I type "man man" as a user, I get a blank page. If, however, I do the same command as root, I do get the actual man page. This is a freshly installed sysadmin, after some Yast2 update in the community repositories. I guess there are some permissions issue here. Do we need to set /usr/bin/man as setuid, wouldn't that be dangereous ? Thanks in advance for advice regards Emmanuel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Audigy 2 not working with the latest kernel
by Klaas Tammling 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I just updated to the latest kernel from the opensuse 11.0 repository. Now my audigy 2 soundcard won't work anymore. I have even updated my alsa drivers. However with my headphones through the front panel I can hear my music, only the backside of the soundcard with 6 channel sound is dead. Kernel modules will load perfectly without any problem and the soundcard uses the first slot. Does anyone have a solution for that problem or maybe an older kernel which I can install? I think kernel 2.6.25.4 worked fine.

Hi, You were right, but even like that it didn't worked. The issue is that openSuSE 11 doesn't recognize the Fn+F5 combination of my Lenovo, that switches on the Bluetooth device. The modules are loaded, the Bluetooth service is running, the keyboard is properly configured in xorg.conf, but the keyboard combination doesn't work. Other combinations, like Num and Caps Lock and Suspend to RAM and Disk, work. Any ideas? -- Regards, Lívio Cipriano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] IPV6, dhclient and NetworkManagers
by Philip Mötteli 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Hello, I have a Laptop here with a WiFi and an ethernet card. Both work flawlessly… if I remove IPV6. I removed IPV6 in YaST's Network Pane. Unfortunately this setting is only considered with the ethernet interface. When activating the wireless interface, 'dhclient' is run. And dhclient somehow always runs with IPV6. If I bring up the wireless interface manually, which allows me to replace dhclient with 'dhcpcd' instead of dhclient, everything works. What else than IPV6 could be the problem? How could I remove IPV6 from the system, without compiling a custom kernel?

[opensuse] qtl - firefox
by John 23 Jun '08

Following an update qtl isn't working anymore. It's a very useful translation add on for firefox. Any on have any clues? It used to pick up and translate selected areas on web pages or translate the entire page. suse10.3 x86_64 firefox 2.0.0.14 as per suse qtl 10 There is another translation facility available but it isn't as neat and compact as qtl.

[opensuse] Still need help with SSL certs for IMAP/Postfix
by Jim Flanagan 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Greetings all, I'm still having problems getting SSL to work with Cyrus IMAP and Postfix. I had SSL working fine for IMAP on Suse 10.0. This got broken after I upgraded this install to Opensuse 10.3. I think this has something to do with /etc/ssl not being changed during the upgrade due to previous changes or certs I added there earlier on for 10.0. I'm not sure this is the problem but I'm starting to suspect this may be the issue. I'm not sure how to track this down. I had (have) a cert in /etc/ssl/certs/imap.pem that was working with 10.0. In order to resolve this problem I tried setting up TLS for both IMAP and smtp auth for Postfix, but could not get that working either, but suspected I had the wrong cert incantation. So I tried making certs using a different how-to, I made a CA request that generated mailkey.pem and mailreq.pem. Then I ran this to sign the file myself openssl ca -out mail_signed_cert.pem -infiles mailreq.pem which returned the following errors..... Using configuration from /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf Error opening CA private key ./demoCA/private/cakey.pem 5712:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:bss_file.c:352:fopen('./demoCA/private/cakey.pem','r') 5712:error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE_CTRL:system lib:bss_file.c:354: unable to load CA private key I do have a file /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf but not sure where to go from here. I sure could use some help with this. Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
