[opensuse] Re: [Nut-upsdev] Problems with nut on new openSuSE 11.1 (same ecstasy_ups)

Everyone, This is a forward from the nut mailing list about the openSuSE .spec file for nut-2.2.2. I need help with the spec file. Who who wrote it or maintains it? Thanks, see below: Arjen de Korte wrote: > Citeren "David C. Rankin" <drankinatty(a)suddenlinkmail.com>: > >> Any luck yet on the voltage fix for the Cyber Power UPS CP1000AVRLCD?

In installed the latest src.rpm I could find (sbrabec's) from openSuSE build service. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/sbrabec:/backports/openSUSE… Then I checked out r1715 and created a source package from it with: tar -cjf /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/nut-2.2.2-svn-1715.tar.bz2 nut-trunk/ I copied the spec file to: nut-trunk-1715.spec and edited the spec file as follows: Version: 2.2.2 Release: 1715 Url: http://www.networkupstools.org/ Source: %{name}-%{version}-svn-%{release}.tar.bz2 I then kicked off the build with rpmbuild -bb nut-trunk-1715.spec, but the build died really quick with the following error: <snip> <MATCH KEY=USB_DEVICE.VENDOR_ID INT=0XFFFF>- <! ABLEREX 625L USB >- <MATCH KEY=USB_DEVICE.PRODUCT_ID INT=0X0000>- <APPEND KEY=INFO.CATEGORY TYPE=STRING>BATTERY</APPEND>- <MERGE KEY=INFO.CAPABILITIES TYPE=STRLIST>BATTERY</MERGE> PRINT ' 'KEY="USB_DEVICE.VENDOR_ID"' 'INT="' sh: line 112: MATCH: No such file or directory error: line 66: Empty tag: Enhances: Full build output at: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/ups/nutrpmbuild-error I looked at the spec and removed a few spaces on line 66 from between 'Enhances:' and '%(set' which did help the build get through the '<MATCH KEY...' stuff, but it still died. Lines 65-67 are: # Package provides driver for USB HID UPSes, but people can live with hal addon: Enhances: %(set -x ; echo %{QUOTE}%{USBDRIVERS}%{QUOTE} | sed -n s/^HALD-ADDON-USBHID-UPS=//p | tr '%{BACKSLASH}n' ' ') # Package provides the only avalailable driver for other USB UPSes: Supplements: %(set -x ; echo %{QUOTE}%{USBDRIVERS}%{QUOTE} | sed '/^HALD-ADDON-USBHID-UPS=/d;s/^.*=//' | tr '%{BACKSLASH}n' ' ') I would like to build the rpms if possible. Do you have any pointers? I'll go just compile it in the mean time, but it seems like I should be able to build the rpms also. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] question about kde and remote files
by Sampsa Riikonen 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Dear List, This is a question for KDE gurus.. I am using sessions with kate, where each session has several remote files on a server. In my university, however, the things are configured in such a way that several instantaneous sftp connections to a server are interpreter as a denial-of-service attack. :/ So every time I open a session with several remote files, kate (or kde, to be more exact) tries to access all of them using sftp at the same time and my ip gets blocked. Is there a way to configure kde in general, in such a way that it would access the remote files one after another? .. maybe not? I am using kde 3.5.x with opensuse 11.0 Cheers, Sampsa Riikonen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] re: Microsoft fonts
by Dave 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

I posted recently about installing Microsoft fonts on my 11.1 installation as the pullin script did not work. Today I did an online update and there was the option to install the Microsoft fonts. I went ahead and reinstalled them with online update and everything during the install worked as it should. The pullin script downloaded and ran the fetchmsttfont.sh for 11.1. Hopefully this will now work for everyone, one less issue to worry about.

[opensuse] SuSE 9.2 packages
by kj 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hi guys, This goes back a bit. Does anyone know where I can find either an archive of the SuSE 9.2 packages (apt-capable would be especially nice) or downloadable ISOs? I do have the CDs (box set) but I don't have it with me. Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] root CA package
by Moby 14 Jan '09

Can anyone tell me what rpm package provides the root CA package for openSUSE 11.1? I need it to get firefox's crashreporter to work - it uses the system's root CA's.

[opensuse] No default gateway
by Koenraad Lelong 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hi, I just installed a 11.1 box. I can't update because there is no default gateway. The ip-address is handed out with a dhcp-server, with a number of options like a default gateway (option routers x.x.x.x in the config file of dhcpd 3.0.6). All my other machines do get this default gateway, just not the 11.1 machine. What am I missing ? Thanks for any help you can provide. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong

Hi, I have tested with opensuse 11.0. It's better, but not as good as Ubuntu server on the file transfert rate. It's not stable ( 45MB/s to 70Mb/s) Any ideas? Please?

[opensuse] Java7/64-bit Java Browser plugin: is it reality or still a pipe dream?
by Boris Epstein 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hello listmates, It used to be that there was no 64-bit browser plugin for 64-bit Linux machines under either Java 5 or Java 6 (JDK 1.5 and 1.6, respectively) and the plan was to wait 'til Java 7 to implement it. Do we know if we are there yet? Can we finally run the 64-bit software and be able to run Java applets in our browsers?

(Yes, I'm aware of an do use checkinstall in these circumstances, though my past experience is that it only works for about half of the projects that have "make install" targets. Maybe that's improved in later versions.) I'll go this route if forced, but given the popularity of MediaWiki and its open-source status, it seems like something that ought to be included in the distribution.
