I know this is a dumb question, but: are you sure the headset is connected (as well as paired). If the pairing is created and the headset is powered on, but seems not to be connected, try pressing the call button once to re-establish the connection (sometimes I have to do this when using my headset with a mobile phone). >>>> >>>> > You could losing out to your phone.

[opensuse] EXT3 Zero Length Partition
by Steven 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

Hey everyone, I had some partitioning issues this weekend (goal was to shrink XP and expand Vista partitions). Long story short, the windows tool 'fixboot' decided to use my linux root partition as the boot partition, thus corrupting the file system. When trying to boot into OpenSuse 11.1 64bit now, it goes into the recovery mode. When trying to run 'fsck' I get this error: "Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sda3. Could this be a zero-length partition?" The files on the partition seem to be fine, as I can see them and browse around while in the recovery mode, I just need to find a way to fix the filesystem.

[opensuse] php and postgres 9.3 vs 10.3
by Robert Paulsen 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hello, I have a SuSE 9.3 system with a postgres database and a php web app that connects to the datbase. This works fine. I also have SuSE 10.3 but cannot get php to connect to the database. 9.3 versions: PHP 4.3.10 postgres (PostgreSQL) 8.0.13 10.3 vesions: PHP 5.2.6 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 postgres (PostgreSQL) 8.2.6 Both have identical pg_hba.conf files. Database was transferred as recommended using "pg_dumpall -f > SAVE" as user postgres on 9.3 system and "psql template1 -f SAVE" as user postgres on 10.3 system The php code that is failing is: $dbh=&$_SESSION['dbh']; $cstring="dbname=$db_name host=localhost user=$user password=$password"; $dbh=pg_connect($cstring) or die("Could not connect to postgresql database $db_name"); Any clues?

[opensuse] Bug #430284: Installation hangs after "loading basic drivers"
by Raimund Dold 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hi, I tried to install 11.1 on my computer which currently runs 10.3. Every installation attempt so far hangs at "loading basic drivers". I searched the bug db and found bug #430284 which describes the problem quite well. I do not have a Laptop but despite this the hw description seems to fit to my computer quite well (HP, AMD64). I can add only a little additional information which is that after ctrl-alt-f4 the last entry on my computer is Net: registered protocol family 17 And after hitting ctrl-alt-del I see the following output md: stopping all md devices A lot more seems to follow, but it is to fast to read it. Can anyone help? Raimund P.S.: I found that the bug db of opensuse is rather a poor user experience. I needed to use the search functionality to find it and got linked to some Novell login which pointed me to a my Novell account page. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Dave a écrit : > selected Windows, grub took me to the Windows partition, and > Windows booted without problems. yes, I had a similar situation. Vista somehow break the boot system. May be it can be related to the boot flag on the partition. I don't remember exactly (it's old) but some version of windows can boot without the flag, some other don't jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412160445 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] (OT) Charter Communications - refusal to correct a bill
by Duaine & Laura Hechler 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Dumped Charter for refusal to correct a bill - even after going to the VP Steve PLUS $61 billion in debt In Sept, we got a bill with the extra charges for HD (digital) service (we NEVER ordered). I called CS (Customer Service) and they figured out that we owed $86.53. So, I paid it. Got Oct. bill with a Balance Forward of $11.79. What the hell? Fired off another call to CS and they said that that was correct - how - they said that we were supposed to pay $98.32 - but - I kept trying to tell them that we didn't have and not ordered HD service. After many minutes of, literally, arguing - I got disconnected - THEY hung up on me. Called back again, got another CS rep, they finally said that that was correct (from before) and they tried to tell me that the $11.79 was rebated in the detail break down. WELL, the detail on my bill added up to only $11.13. So I kept on trying to get an answer on where the other 66 cents went. They said that what they were looking at added up to $11.79.(By this time I was livid) Finally, I mentioned that I'm not paying the bill until we get a corrected bill - they responded "you have a correct bill". Again an argument ensued and they hung up on me again. Somewhere I got the VP's email address and fired off an email to him about this - TWICE within a couple of days. Made a third call - going through all the same BS as before and requested another corrected bill. Again they said that the bill was correct. Again, I said the I'm not paying the bill until we get a corrected one. This time - I - hung up on them. The next day, my wife called and got the same BS and requested a corrected bill. Well, we got one, BUT it was only a screen print of the same exact bill - including showing that 66 cents in not accounted for. She called back to get an a reason why we got the same bill and NOT a corrected bill. They replied that they can only send out what was in the "system". Fired off a third email to the VP Steve and went through everything up to now. And added that if this don't get resolved I'm not paying the bill and we are switching to AT&T U-Verse. He apologized and was going to credit our bill - which he did. BUT never got the bill and the missing 66 cents resolved. Now we are on AT&T U-Verse for almost the same price. -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler(a)att.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home & Business user of Linux - 10 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
