[opensuse] opensuse 10.3 hangs on install
by Phil Savoie 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

Hi All, I have an asus m2n-sli motherboard with one sata and one ide drive installed. the ide drive has windows xp and the 1 terebyte sata drive has nothing and is to be used for the suse install. The darn things has given me nothing but grief with the suse install. If I boot normally to install I get a black screen and hangs. If I do a nolocal apic install it gets stuck at the activating usbs and goes no further if I do the no acpi install it hangs on loading sata_nv and the same for the safe settings install. Any help would be great, please! Thanks, Phil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE unable to login as user
by Teruel de Campo MD 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

ref opensuse 10.3 /KDE thinkpad x40 Problem: kdm loads ok and the login dialog shows up. If I choose root everything is OK. If I chose user1 starts to log but the graphics hangs for ever and it does not login. What I tried: 1. I checked the permission of /home. I did root.root recursively and then user1.users recursively. 2. delete /tmp 3. rename /home/user1/.kde 4. rm ~/.ICEauthority and ~/.Xauthority 5. Run sax2 and reset the graphic card 6. I created a new user /home/user2 . It does not login either. Previous actions: Everything was working well until I did a big upgrade with smart. kde and qt were upgraded. For some reason I am concern about qt upgrade. I do have a backup but I am interested in know why this happened. A couple of weeks ago the same occur in my desktop. There I use a full system restore. There are other threads in the net with the same problem but not good answers. Any tips? -=terry(Denver)=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] determining network connection
by James Pifer 04 Jun '08

I have some SLES10 servers running in my corporate office. Short of having someone trace the network cable, is there some way to tell whether the connection is 100 or 1000 meg?

[opensuse] OpenSuSE 11 Beta RC1 won't install
by Gary Baribault 04 Jun '08

Gary Baribault Courriel: gary(a)baribault.net GPG Key: 0x4346F013 GPG Fingerprint: BCE8 2E6B EB39 9B23 6904 1DF4 C4E6 2CF7 4346 F013 Hello all .. I've been trying OpenSuSE 11 Beta 1-3 and RC1 on a couple of desktops here and have yet to get any of them to install ... I checked the MD5 on RC1 that I have and it's fine. The first machine is a Pentium 4 with 768Meg of memory and a single IDE drive. The system was running Windows XP until recently when I replaced it for my daughter. It has a DVD burner in it and nothing much more. The second machine is a brand new ASUS AMD Opteron 64 dual core, but I was installing the 32bit version. This system has two SATA drives and an IDE DVD burner as well and has 2 Gigs of memory. In both cases the install starts up and I do all of the config / Format/selection of software, then all confirmations and starts installing packages. At some point on random RPMs it stops with the message about corupted packages and restarts the installation process in text mode. This restart fails as well. Beta 1-3 didn't get that far but I don't care about them any more. I tried burning 2 other DVDs, tried replacing the DVD readers, tried a network install from an FTP server I have here, same thing, but the failure is not on the same package every time. If this was on only one system, or on only one DVD reader I would understand, but nope .. I even deleted and re-downloaded the ISO to see if the MD5 was wrong, but to no avail. I'm really stumped here, any suggestions? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Duplex printing with KDE4
by Klaas Tammling 04 Jun '08

04 Jun '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, a few weeks ago I switched over to KDE4. Now I want to print something with duplex enabled. I know that my printer can actually do it because under kde3 it worked perfectly when I told it to. However under KDE4 I open a pdf with okular, want to print it and the duplex option is completely disabled, greyed out. In addition Okular tells me that the type of my printer is writing a postscript file and not a printer which is running over cups in my network. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIOoUpKU2NgbHX9m4RAm7rAJoDTxP5nZTVMlH9Y8PWZtFsF628BwCfYaJq LKiC62QB9lM3ahbxVf/eBIY= =mb7P -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I've got a USB-based DVD burner and it works fine with k3b. A bit slower than the built-in burner, but it absolutely works fine.

What I intended was "that may have been your experience, but that's not a true blanket statement, because it works for me with a USB-connected drive".

[opensuse] OpenOffice_org-writer-2.4.0.13-1.1 Borks Konqueror File Associations?
by David C. Rankin 04 Jun '08

04 Jun '08

Listmates, Update to OpenOffice_org-writer-2.4.0.13-1.1 has made a mess of konqueror file associations for all associations under text-plain and application groups. It is more of a sincere annoyance than anything else. I don't recall this happening with any earlier version of OO. Basically what happens is that OO-writer is added to the text-plain and application groups as the "first" application with priority at the "top" of the list for everything under those groups. That all text files, c, c++, python, all shell scripts, etc. A real PITA. Is there anyway we can get OO not to add itself to the konqueror file associations for the groups text-plain and application? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[opensuse] How to install dhcpd in SuSe 10
by Josef Springer 04 Jun '08

04 Jun '08

I have installed SuSe 10, but do not have any network connectivity. The computer is linked to a network with a DHCP-Server. In the Yast-controllcenter the networkcard has set the option "Automatic adressconfiguration (with DHCP)". dhcpd does not exist. I may have skipped some installation steps, but dont know. I need the ability to select something like "Use any DHCP-Server" How can i install dhcpd. In the Yast-controllcenter i have the option "DHCP-Server" only and if i select this option, YAST wants to install the DHCP-Server package. Thanks for help !
