[opensuse] Retail box opensuse 11.1 ??
by Teruel de Campo MD 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

What is the purpose of the CD that comes with the DVD installation. It says commercial software. There you have the epson proprietary drivers and java etc. I can get those from the repositories. Is this a way to install the whole thing from dvd/cd media without connection? or they are packages that are only available in the retail box?. I assume is the first one correct?

[opensuse] How to compile for i86 on a x64 machine?
by Josef Wolf 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Hello, I have entered 64 bit world with 11.1, and to my surprise, it seems to work pretty fine so far. Now I am curious how to compile for 32 bit machines from that 64 bit machine. Do I really need to use a virtual machine or a cross compiler or is there a more convenient way? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] pidgin segmentation fault
by James Pifer 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

I was way behind on system updates on my laptop running opensuse 10.3. I finally updated them, which was a lot. Sorry to not be specific. Anyway, everything seems to work ok so far except for pidgin. It starts for a few seconds and then segmentation faults. I've tried installing the latest source (2.5.4) and I get the same thing. I've run it in debug and I get the log below. Any suggestions? Thanks, James ./pidgin --debug (22:06:59) prefs: Reading /home/user/.purple/prefs.xml (22:06:59) prefs: Finished reading /home/user/.purple/prefs.xml (22:06:59) dbus: okkk (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/convcolors.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/gtkbuddynote.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/ticker.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/history.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/relnot.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/xmppconsole.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/sendbutton.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/pidginrc.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/spellchk.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/timestamp.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/gestures.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/iconaway.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/timestamp_format.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/notify.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/markerline.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/musicmessaging.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/pidgin/extplacement.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/lib64/purple-2/libzephyr.so (22:06:59) plugins: probing /usr/lib64/purple-2/libsametime.so (22:06:59) plugins: /usr/lib64/purple-2/libsametime.so has a prefs_info, but is a prpl.

[opensuse] Intel gfx card issues with openSUSE 11.1
by Rafa Grimán 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Hi :) Just installed openSUSE 11.1 on my Asus R2Hv and I'm having issues with my gfx card (see lspci below). If I use the "i810" driver I get this error: [...] (II) Primary Device is: PCI 00@00:02:0 (EE) No devices detected. Fatal server error: no screens found But if I use the "intel" driver I get this other error: Couldn't find PLL settings for mode! I've been looking through bugzilla and found that this issue was detected during the Beta phase and has been closed as "fixed": https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432422 Seems xorg/X11 Intel gfx drivers need a patch and seems it's been applied (bugzilla says so), but doesn't seem to work for me :( I've tried adding these lines to xorg.conf, but still doesn't work: BusID "0:2:0" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" Also tried using the VESA driver, no go. ¿Any ideas, hints, tips, ...?

[opensuse] howto 'diff' a filetree
by Diego Tognola 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Hi Not really an openSUSE question, but should be a no-brainer for you guys: ...what's an easy way of comparing the contents of two directory trees, ignoring time stamps and other attributes ? I'm after a list that tells me which files exist in tree A but not in B. Thanks in advance, Diego -- http://www.getup.org.au/campaign/SaveTheNet -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] mplayer install Suse 11.0
by Regis Matejcik 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

I'm using Suse 11.0 and trying to watch a dvd (.avi file). I tried to install mplayer using the Packman "1 click install" button. I've also tried to download the package and install with Yast.

[opensuse] Problems with opensuse 10.2 Ext3 file system
by Lee Ross 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

This machine has run flawlessly for 2 years so I decided to install more ram. Two sticks of 1 gig to make a full 4gig's. Reboot went fine but I was not reading all 4 gig's of ram so I went to the bios and enabled the device mapping (can't remember the correct name) which brought recognition to all 4 gigs. Commenced to running programs testing the new ram but only ran through the ram tests once. No errors. Started playing a game and boom....the machine locked up tight. I went to cntrl-alt-f2 and did a shutdown successfully at which time I pulled the two sticks of ram. Attempted a reboot with the 10.2 CD....went to install and then repair, repairing several corrupted files.....now, as I reboot using the CD, I get to the part where it says I'm loading the required kernel modules activating swap-devices in /etc/fstab.... adding 2104472k swap on /dev/sda5. Priority:-1 extents:1 across 2104472k mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda8 is already mounted on / device-mapper: activating device mapper.... Starting MD Raid Checking file systems.... /dev/sda8 is mounted. e2fsck: cannot continue, aborting. fsck.ext3 /dev/sda8 failed (staus 0X8). Run manually! At this point I tried to run fsck.ext /dev/sda8 but it doesn't seem to work and it just keeps sending me back to the same start point of the boot. Am I running this fsck program correctly? According to my Beginners Guide to Linux Administration, I navigate to the /etc directory, type in fsck.ext3 /dev/sda8 and hit the enter key. Is this correct? After doing this I do a Control-D to reboot but it keeps taking me back to the same place as before. This is all done in Maintenance mode where you cannot shutdown or reboot in the conventional manner. I'm lost at this point.............What other info do I need to offer?

[opensuse] OpenVPN (no route to host)
by Danesh Daroui 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Hi, I have installed OpenVPN on my OpenSUSE 10.1 in order to connect to it from a XP machine. The installation on both server and XP was successful (using routing and not bridging) and both parties see each other and messages show that connection established successfully between them. The problem is when I start using internet on my client (XP) using VPN through my Linux server, no page is shown and I see the message: Tue Jan 13 10:59:50 2009 write UDPv4: No Route to Host (WSAEHOSTUNREACH) (code=10065) on my client side. Besides, when VPN connection is established, I still have my original connection on XP side active and I can browse through it and VPN connection is used unless I disable my original connection. Should I really do that or other configuration is needed? I have attached both server and client configuration files.

[opensuse] BLT on openSUSE11.1
by Roger Oberholtzer 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

I was mildly surprised to see BLT delivered with openSUSE11.1. BLT has major source compatibility issues with Tcl 8.5. So, I am guessing that the SUSE team did some sort of a fix. Is there any documentation on this fix? There were at least two ways to make this work: hack into the BLT code, or use a stubs library. Where can I find which they did? There is nothing in /usr/share/docs/blt about this. Of course, it is only academic as BLT (the shells and demos at least) seem not to work. They complain: Application initialization failed: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5.5, need exactly 8.5 The fact that they may have worked with 8.5 at one time is a great sign. But as 8.5.5 is what comes with openSUSE11.1, they need to work with that. I think this requirement is compiled in the library, not in the blt pkgIndex.tcl file. Anyone else on this list using BLT? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
