[opensuse] Re: [opensuse-factory] Enhancement #399239 - feedback

Hi FYI I submitted a patch to the yast-devel mailing list. It will add a string to the tooltip showed when mouse over the "free" column, in the disk usage widget, for QT GUI. The string is " - Installing xxx MB" or " - Removing -xxx MB", per-mount point. That patch uses the same information handled by the bar and percentage; currently the detailed diskusage (per directory) is only supported for the susetags format (i.e. the install repositories). On the zypp-devel mailing list pointed out that some work on SVN is going to support also diskusage for XML repositories (e.g. the update repo and all buildservice repos are of that type).

[opensuse] Two nic's, two server, two networks
by James D. Parra 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Hello, I have two servers each with two nic's. Both servers are connected to the internal network, however I have set up the other nic's on a different subnet and both nics are connected to a private switch that is not connected to the internal LAN. The addresses for seconds that are on their own private switch is 10.0.0.1 (server one) & 10.0.0.2 (server 2), which is not the address range for the internal LAN. How can I have the servers at least ping those addresses and how can I set up the routing table to direct traffic for those addresses to use the secondary nic's? Many thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Suspend Issues
by Andrew Joakimsen 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

I find that my system can not suspend to disk or suspend to ram correctly. After I suspend the system boots back up with a black screen and I need to press ctrl+alt+bkspc twice for anything to show up on the screen... which totally negates any benefit suspend-to-disk can offer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] s2ram or s2disk when no-one is logged in
by Ian 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Hi, I'm trying to find a way to get opensuse to suspend when no-one is logged in. Both gnome & kde provide front ends to pm-utils that can suspend a machine after a period of inactivity, but in my case, we have several computers that are used by numerous people that come and go 24 hours a day, 7 days a week & we'd like the machines to suspend if they aren't in use for a while (meaning there is no-one logged in & the computer is sitting at the GDM screen). Does anyone here have any idea how we might achieve that? (Or some other mailing list that might be a better place to ask this question?) Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc

Well, I'm not sure why it didn't work with YaST. If you run the ip command I gave, does it still not work? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` You hit the nail on the head.

If you set up the NICs with YaST, it should all happen automatically Manually, with ip, it should be something like ip route add to 10.0.0.0/24 dev eth1 But, as I said, it should happen automatically when you set up the addresses on the secondary cards ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks Anders, Although I did use Yast to setup the addresses, sadly I cannot ping them. The subnet doesn't appear in the routing table, only the original subnet on eth0. Any ideas?

[opensuse] How to update initrd on an other boot for multiboots? (long)
by Boyd Lynn Gerber 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hello, I am trying to work around a rather nasty 11.0 reiserfs bug. I am constantly having to reboot because of hangs on files. I wiped one of my various boot disks, change the fs to ext3 and installed openSUSE 11.0 on it. I should have saved initrd but I forgot. I then cpio-ed the orignal openSUSE 11.0 install and it wiped out the /boot/... files. When I attempt to boot from it I get cannot mount / EXT3. I have in my menu.lst boots for 15 different OS's or distro's of Linux. I need to be able to boot to this ext3 install of 11.0 to avoid the hangs. Before the orignal install I was able to boot to either the SCSI or IDE installs of 11.0 and the other OS's. Since changing the FS I am unable to figure-out the right combination to be able to choose between the SCSI and IDE boot of 11.0. This is an older HP server. I have 8 SCSI disks 3 IDE and some USB devices. The BIOS does not allow to choose IDE boot only the SCSI, but because of the IO addresses the IDE boots before the SCSI. A fresh install of 11.0 on the IDE drive only allows or installs a single set of choices. Standard 11.0 and Failsafe. A fresh install to a SCSI device gives all the choices of the OS's/Distros. I think there is a bug in openSUSE 11.0 that prevents grub installs to be correct. I have tried supergrub but it does not allow me to fix grub or to have the choices. I have munged grub to default boot to the SCSI disk but it gives an error of hd(0,5) message ... Here is the device.map This coloum not in device.map (hd0) /dev/sda # First SCSI (hd1) /dev/sdb # Second SCSI (hd2) /dev/sdc # First IDE (hd3) /dev/sdd # Second IDE (hd4) /dev/sde # Third IDE drive ... # other SCSI and USB devices.

[opensuse] Rdesktop Keeps Dying
by Adam Sailer 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Remote Desktop keeps freezing and then crashing on me. I get about 2 minutes of use on average before my connection dies. ERROR: recv: Connection reset by peer -or- ERROR: send: Connection reset by peer In a desperate attempt to resolve the issue (I have to use remote desktop frequently at work) I have reinstalled OpenSuse 11; unfortunately, the problem exists with the new install. Is there a debug mode, or another way of pinpointing the problem?
