[opensuse] KDE font(?) problems
by dave stern - e-mail.pluribus.unum 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

I recently installed Kompare onto my 10.2 box and noticed that my splash screen is messed up. Specifically, all characters appear as boxes, even the menu items. Yet once I login, everything looks fine. Anyone seen this or know how to fix it? I'd think a re-install of one of the kde rpms might fix it, just don't know which one or how to without deleting and re-installing. Alternatively, it could be INSTALLED_LANGUAGES which is blank. How can this be reset? Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] smartlink-softmodem for Suse 11
by Matthew Stringer 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

is there such a package and if so where does it live, can only find it for 10.3 but it's causes dependency problems. I need to test a dialup connection and will struggle without it. If I try to configure the Modem it tells me that I need to install the package but it's not on the mirrors.

[opensuse] I cannot listen to any sound!
by Hudibras 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

After rebooting and doing anything at all, sound does not work. It seems that pulseaudio is the new "engine" for alsa, and I do not know how to turn volume on. Test in yast2 doesn't work anymore. All multimedia apps turns on but with no sound. How can I have sound like always in linux? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bacula 2.4.0 repositories: Status?
by Mark V 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

Hi Group, Still on the way to trying to install a virtual machine under opensUSE 11.0, with a detour via Bacula... Does anyone have any experience with the Bacula 2.4.0 builds that are on the build service, I'm using MySQL and the descriptions of what they contain is a little sketchy, its not clear if they are stable, being developed. I've played with installing some of them and they conflict with each other but all in different ways. Or is it best to to down load and build?

[opensuse] version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5.2, need exactly 8.5
by Adrian Kappa 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

Hi! I installed recently SUSE 11.0 on my computer. The installation succeded. Until now I was using SUSE 10.3 and all my developed applications worked well under this (and earlier) distribution. I developed, among others, some applications using the OmNet++, a discret event simulation environment. The problem occured when I tryed to compile and install OmNet++, since it is using TCL/TK package and an extension of it: the BLT packages. The installation reveals that the problem resides in SUSE 11.0 distribution. Executing /usr/bin/bltsh or /usr/bin/bltsh24 you get the following message: >/usr/bin/bltsh application-specific initialization failed: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5.2, need exactly 8.5 The distribution contains a version of blt2.4z (351.1) that seems to be incompatible with the TCL 8.5.2-15.1 (I tested the OmNeT++ installation by downloading the older TCL/TK 8.5.0 versions and there are no errors.) Does somebody know how to solve the problem? Some patches ? The matter is urgent for me, and I would appreciate a quick answer. Thank you very much in advance.

[opensuse] Memory Test
by Joseph Loo 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

I tried testing memory on my computer with 11.0. I have 8 Gbytes of ram on a gigabyte m61 with a x2 6000 processor Every time I tried testing it, it would freeze. I found an older version of suse 9.3 and it was successfully able to test the memory. am I wrong, or did the 11.0 version use an older version. in 9.3, they were using memtest 3.2. Under 11.0, it seemed to me they have mem test 2.02. -- 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] badblocks question
by Jim Henderson 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

Got a drive that's starting to show its age (sadly, at only about 2 years old!). It's a Maxtor OneTouch drive, which actually contains 2 500 GB drives and presents via USB as a single storage device. I started running badblocks on it a couple days ago, and it's still running. Only 61 bad blocks so far, which is good (4K blocks, reiserfs filesystem). Just wondering how long I should expect it to take - is there anything to help one calculate the run time? I'm doing the read-only test (since there's data on the drive). Command used is: badblocks -b 4096 -n -o bb.txt /dev/sdb1 Thanks, Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

It's about 400,000 files in total. Ouch, that'll take a while. As I mentioned to Larry, doesn't seem to matter now, as it seems the drive has had some sort of physical malfunction. I managed to get only about 67 GB copied off of it before it croaked. I knew I needed a clean-out, but this isn't what I had in mind. :-( >> 2.

But payday was Friday, so I now have a replacement drive, unfortunately just a little too late to pull all the data off the drive. What I'll probably end up doing is disassembling the unit and hooking the drives up to an IDE/SATA interface (depending on what it is internally) to see if there's any chance of recovering anything. Given it's two drives, it's probably just one that's failed, but it'll depend on how the data spans the drives as to whether or not that'll work. But I should be able to interrogate the electronics for the failure in any event. Not a good data week. :-( -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
