[opensuse] Update problem x86_64 10.3

Hi I've been offered updates for suse 10.3 x86_64 and this is what I get ########################################### 20 Problems: Problem: No valid solution found with just resolvables of best architecture.

With this run only resolvables with the best architecture have been regarded. Regarding all possible resolvables takes time, but can come to a valid result. Solution 1: Make a solver run with ALL possibilities. Regarding all resolvables with a compatible architecture. ############################################# Why does this happen and what should I do about it? Actually my update icon has been red for 2 weeks and this is the 3rd time I've accepted the recommended updates.

[opensuse] Re: 11.0 & PATH variable
by Chuck Davis 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

Has anyone discovered a way to get around the stubborn insistence of 11.0 to require /usr/bin as the first entry on the PATH variable. I've never had this problem before but now I am no longer in control of my PATH. I don't like anyone else thinking they know better than me what I want my computer to do. I had problems with that on another platform and control of my computer is the major attraction to Linux. I hope this is not a harbinger of things to come. Any help will be appreciated. By the way, I'm talking about defining the PATH in profile.local -- no longer works.

[opensuse] openSUSE 11 on Virtual Box 1.6.2 - KDE does not start
by Bob Builder 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

Hi there, I installed openSUSE 11 on my wife's old laptop. The laptop was too old and too slow so I decided to put install Virtual Box 1.6.2 on my PC running WinXP SP3. After I installed Virtual Box 1.6.2, I installed openSUSE 11 on my virtual machine (guest). Installation went fine but when I boot using the default option (openSUSE ..blah blah), I got a classic UNIX logon screen instead of a GUI: ***** Welcome to openSUSE 11.0 (i586) - Kernel 2.6.25.5-1.1-pae (tty1). cbd451 login: ***** cbd451 is my host name. Yes, that is all I can see. Where is the GUI? If I boot the machine using safe mode, I can see the GUI/Logon screen. So what have I done wrong? I am a newbie on Linux and my UNIX is skill is quite limited. Your help is very appreciated. Thanks!

RE: [opensuse] mounts not mounting at boot time, etc
by James D. Parra 04 Jul '08

Subject: [opensuse] mounts not mounting at boot time, etc Hello, Not sure at what point during the boot process mounting is taking place, but after a couple of new installs mounts, ntp, etc are not occurring even though they are set to run at boot time in the runlevel. I think bringing up the network is taking place *after* the other services were attempting to start (but failing because the network connection was not yet established). How can I ensure the network connection takes place before the other services start? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After a little poking around I found the network in rc3.d runs early, S04network. The last few lines in 'dmesg' shows the network initialized and CIFS error out, but nothing happens afterwards. None of the NFS or CIFS mounts in fstab are mounted unless I run 'mount -a' manually. <snip> r8169: eth0: link up r8169: eth0: link up NET: Registered protocol family 17 NET: Registered protocol family 10 lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions Mobile IPv6 eth0: no IPv6 routers present ip6_tables: (C) 2000-2006 Netfilter Core Team ip_tables: (C) 2000-2006 Netfilter Core Team CIFS VFS: Send error in SETFSUnixInfo = -5 <end> Found an error in the massages that ntp can't find ntp.example.com and the tail of /var/log/messages shows dhcp getting an address, which, I think, should be happening much earlier. Any ideas on how to force dhcp to get an address as soon as eth0 is up?

So... did you mean "boot into suse"? if so, that makes sense. Joe Yes, that is what I meant. Sorry for all the confusion. Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Try this: If you are using Windows as a last resort to try and log into the hotel's billing plan and can't get onto the internet even with it, shut down windows. Reboot suse and call the Technical assistance line... Hope this makes it clear!
