[opensuse] VT6410 PCI IDE support in 11.0?
by Larry Stotler 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

I recently picked up a PCI IDE card that uses the Via VT6410 chip. I'm running openSUSE v11.0 x64. While the kernel sees the controller and the individual ide ports, it doesn't show any drives attached to it. My motherboard is a P35 based Gigabyte with a Celeron E1200 overclocked to 3.2Ghz. I've tried googling, but there doesn't seem to be much info as to the status of this card and how to set it up. I dropped it into an XP machine and installed the drivers from the CD, so I know the card works. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[opensuse] Can't connect to Samba share - OpenSUSE 11.0
by James Knott 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

I've just installed OpenSUSE 11.0 on my main system. One thing I've noticed is that I cannot connect to Samba shares, as my ID & password get rejected. I tried resetting the password with smbpasswd, but am un able to. When I try as a user, I get this error message: cli_pipe_validate_current_pdu: RPC fault code DCERPC_FAULT_OP_RNG_ERROR received from remote machine 127.0.0.1 pipe \samr fnum 0x7357! machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : NT code 0x1c010002. Failed to change password for jknott If I try to set it as root, I get this error: Failed to find entry for user jknott. Failed to modify password entry for user jknott Any ideas? tnx jk -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenSuSE Intentionally Cripples (disables) Windows Vista
by Andrew Joakimsen 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

I have a system with two hard drives, the 1st drive has (had) Windows Vista and the 2nd drive was blank. I installed openSUSE to the 2nd drive and did not modify the 1st drive (I can still browse the contents at /windows/C & /windows/D) however I can no longer boot into Windows Vista after the openSUSE install. When I boot the system the bootloader menu lets me select openSUSE and Windows but when I select Windows the system hangs at a black screen. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] nvidia 177 beta drivers
by Manne Merak 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

After reading this thread, http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=115916&page=17 and realizing this is probably why my desktop 6600 is running circles around my Vostro 1700 8600M GT, I am now going to install the beta 177 driver. Is this driver available at a repo somewhere or do I need to install it from the NVIDIA site?

We use the automounter: * -soft,intr server:/home/& I did some research and it seems to be a gvfsd problem. If I kill the daemon firefox stops asking for strange dirs in /home. The only problem is I can't start a kde app. The problem seem to be in the interaction of kde and gvfsd. Any idea what could cause the problem? regards Ulrich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problem with i845 graphics in OpenSUSE 11, works in 10.3
by Samiur Rahman 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Helle everyone, I have an IBM Thinkcentre A30 with Intel 845g chipset. Graphics worked like a charm on OpenSUSE 10.3 . I had 3D acceleration and 1280x1024 resolution out of the box. With OpenSUSE 11 though, I can't get a resolution over 1024x960. During installation, I didn't have the green background and the help box to the left either. I presume some hardware support was removed with the inclusion of KDE4 in OpenSUSE 11. But hardware support is important nevertheless and would be nice to have back in the next release. Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Missing vfat fle System
by Donald D Henson 27 Jul '08

27 Jul '08

The subject line pretty much says it all. When i try to transfer data from my Windows XP laptop to my OpenSuSE Linux desktop via a thumb drive, I get the message: Cannot mount volume. The volume uses the vfat file system which is not supported by your system. According to google, support for the vfat file system has been a part of the Linux kernel since 1.3.93. Why isn't it on my 11.0 system (kernel: 2.6.25.9-0.2-default)? More to the point, how do I get it back on my system? Can anyone shed any light on what may be happening here? I'd appreciate any insights. -- Don Henson

[opensuse] problems getting VMware-player-2.0.4 to install properly on openSUSE11.0
by Clayton 27 Jul '08

27 Jul '08

I've been fighting this for a while this afternoon and not making any real progress... I found these blog entries (from a previous thread here on VMware): http://blog.creonfx.com/linux/how-to-install-vmware-player-workstation-on-2… http://blog.creonfx.com/linux/how-to-install-vmware-player-workstation-on-2… These are the steps and results... I install VMware-player from rpm and run vmware-config.pl (no patching) The first error: ================ Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.3.1", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3". This configuration is not recommended and VMware Player may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3" anyway? [no] ================ Saying yes here seems to work... why am I getting this error? I checked my gcc, and it's the latest from the repos, and it is 4.3-39.1. If this error is real, why is the latest gcc (the one used to build the current kernel) not in the repo? Or is it, and I've munged something? The next error occurs when the vmware-config.pl script is building the vmblock module: ================ Building the vmblock module. Using 2.6.x kernel build system. make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config9/vmblock-only' make -C /lib/modules/2.6.25.9-0.2-pae/build/include/.. SUBDIRS=$PWD SRCROOT=$PWD/. modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.25.9-0.2-obj/i386/pae' make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.25.9-0.2 O=/usr/src/linux-2.6.25.9-0.2-obj/i386/pae/. modules CC [M] /tmp/vmware-config9/vmblock-only/linux/block.o CC [M] /tmp/vmware-config9/vmblock-only/linux/control.o CC [M] /tmp/vmware-config9/vmblock-only/linux/dbllnklst.o CC [M] /tmp/vmware-config9/vmblock-only/linux/dentry.o /tmp/vmware-config9/vmblock-only/linux/dentry.c: In function 'DentryOpRevalidate': /tmp/vmware-config9/vmblock-only/linux/dentry.c:115: error: 'struct nameidata' has no member named 'dentry' /tmp/vmware-config9/vmblock-only/linux/dentry.c:115: error: 'struct nameidata' has no member named 'dentry' /tmp/vmware-config9/vmblock-only/linux/dentry.c:116: error: implicit declaration of function 'path_release' make[4]: *** [/tmp/vmware-config9/vmblock-only/linux/dentry.o] Error 1 make[3]: *** [_module_/tmp/vmware-config9/vmblock-only] Error 2 make[2]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.25.9-0.2-obj/i386/pae' make: *** [vmblock.ko] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config9/vmblock-only' Unable to build the vmblock module. ================ I can complete the config and run VMware-player, but.. no drag/drop from host-guest or guest-host. This also seems to affect shared folders... I cannot get them working after starting a guest OS (existing guest OS that had working shares). If I apply the any-any-116 patch, and then patch the patch with the any-any-117 patch, I get a "Version mismatch with vmmon module: expecting 168.0, got 167.0." error when I try to start a guest. So... I have a partly working VM, but without shared folders or drag/drop support. Has anyone managed to get this part working right in 11.0? (I'd move 100% to VirtualBox for the one application I need VMware for if I could get shares and more importantly USB working right/easily in VirtualBox. VBox works so much better for what I use VMs for... except for USB which I have had a real hit/miss with.)
