[opensuse] mdadm keeps breaking my array
by Bob Williams 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

Hi, I'm running openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 3.5.10. /home mounts a RAID1 mirrored array, /dev/md0, made up of two identical 1TB Western Digital disks, bought about 6 to 9 months ago. mdadm has kicked one of these disks out of the array twice in the last 24 hours. The first time this happened, I issued #mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdd1 mdadm: re-added /dev/sdd1 so it appeared to be happy to put this disk back into the array. However, tonight it's happened again, and the same command results in #mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdd1 mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sdd1: Device or resource busy Does this mean that sdd is failing and needs to be replaced? I sort of know the answer I'm going to get, but thought I'd check here first, in case I was missing something obvious.

[opensuse] libcurl static library
by Sylvester Lykkehus 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

Hi, Is it intended that the libcurl-devel does not contain the static library ? Can it be found in another package ? I was playing around with the roadsend php compiler, and nedded the static libcurl library to compile staticly linked php applications.

[opensuse] SUSE Studio - When?
by Larry Stotler 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

What's the time frame on getting SUSE Studio opened up? I would love to be able to build custom install CDs that's don't have a lot of the stuff that the other install media have(like openoffice, mono, beagle, etc). Also, is there going to be support for x86-64 and ppc(really could use ppc more than anything)? From what I have seen, only i386 is supported now.

[opensuse] opensuse 11.1 and command not found
by Roger Oberholtzer 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

Maybe this is not new to 11.1, but this is where I noticed it: When you type a command that is not found, the shell looks up where the command might be found, and tells you which package to install. Generally this seems like a nice touch. I have a few questions: 1) Where is it looking for information on where the missing command can be installed from? 2) If this feature can find which package that is not installed contains the file, why can't YasT show the files in packages that are not installed? There must be a database somewhere for this. 3) Does it deal with commands that are installed, but perhaps not in your PATH? 4) JIC, how could this feature be disabled?

[opensuse] unable to install acroread-8.1.3 in openSUSE11.1
by Arun Kumar Khan 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

System is openSUSE11.1 (x86) with KDE3/4,Gnome,XFce. OSS and Non-OSS repos are enabled for Yast>Software Management. Search for "acroread" brings up the rpm in the list but when I select it and click on Apply, I get an error dialog box "nothing provides libcrypto.so.9.7 needed by acroread-8.1.3 blah blah" A quick check shows me that libcrypto.so.9.8 is installed on the system. So I created a symlink libcrypto.so.9.7 linking to the libcrypto.so.9.8 file, executed "ldconfig" still no go. It still gives the same error dialog box. Here is a long listing of the libcrypto files. <quote> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jan 11 16:36 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so -> libcrypto.so.0.9.8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jan 12 00:02 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 -> libcrypto.so.0.9.8 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1455676 Dec 3 12:06 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 # rpm -qf /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libopenssl0_9_8-0.9.8h-28.4 </quote> Any solutions welcome.

[opensuse] 11.1 -- DNS not working, IPv6 is disabled???
by Peter Van Lone 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

I need to get some work done on a laptop. I can ping past my gateway to the internet using IP addresses. DNS is correctly configured, but ... I cannot ping DNS names either internal or external. I have confirmed that IPv6 is disabled, and I have switched between ifup and network manager over and over ... what else can I try? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Upgraded to 11.1, Random Log outs
by Andrew Joakimsen 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

I upgraded openSUSE 11.0 -> 11.1. The process was pretty smooth with no errors. Now when I am using the system it will randomly log out -- exactly if I had gone to K-Menu -> Log Out and clicked End Current session -- and take me back tot he green login screen. Does anyone have any ideas what to check? I looked through the xorg and kdm logs and didn't see anything interesting. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
