I have the clock as part of the prompt to keep track of the time. Give the prompt a try. Just enter the following on the command line to change your prompt: PS1="\[\e[0;37m\]\A\[\e[1;34m\] \[\e[1;34m\]\h:\w> \[\e[0m\]" If you like it and want to make it your default, just include the following line in your ~/.bashrc file: export PS1="\[\e[0;37m\]\A\[\e[1;34m\] \[\e[1;34m\]\h:\w> \[\e[0m\]" I like a different prompt for root to make it very clear that your logged in as root. Red works. Here is the root prompt: PS1="\[\e[1;34m\][\[\e[1;31m\]\A \[\e[1;34m\]\h\[\e[0;31m\]\w\[\e[1;34m\]] # \[\e[0m\]" Give it a try as well. There are no end of combinations for your prompt that you can come up with ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] SCPM and GRUB Configuration?
by Randall R Schulz 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

Hi, Is it possible to have SCPM manage the GRUB configuration? In particular, can it manage /boot/grub/device.map and /boot/grub/menu.lst? I'm guessing not... If that is the case, can anybody suggest an approach that will facilitate booting under either VMware or directly on the hardware? As hinted above, the GRUB device map and boot menu contain the configuration parameters in question.

[opensuse] It's more than a boot problem
by Yas say 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

Well, I do not like to create an alarm, but the problems we have are more than "boot issues" and scrambled hard drive partitions. as I said before, the running opensuse 11.1 and Grub know different hard drive partitions. I thought some openSuSe developers watch posts on this list. I will take a picture of GRUB saying fuzy things about my hard drive partitions. we have raid5 on Intel ICH9R controller. I wish someone can tell me what driver I should find and load. Reason I'm asking this is: the CD tha I used to install opensuse 11.1 loaded the right modules and detected raid, but not the running OS. dmraid is and libdmraid is the only software raid I see in yast. I searched google and intel but couldn't find a driver. I'm not a programmer but i understand opensuse well and i'm not going to create a bug report. I tried to compile a kernel but couldn't see any benefit. I'm now checking /usr/src/linux/Documentation and hope it will light up something. I'll also try to call Intel Monday for Linux ICH9R raid driver. If anyone has any hint please reply. as I said before my system profile is at: http://www.smolts.org/show?uuid=pub_bbc1af31-25b1-4eb1-aa1f-aa8aab2b67c7 thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Please share openSuSe developers with this issue
by Yas say 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

dear sirs: We have many RAID systems, both Intel & non-Intel that originally run Windows. We are trying to give Linux (openSuSE) its share now. However, we have an issue where system partitions are detected differently when openSuSe is running and when it's booting. For instance, openSuSE was installed on /dev/sde, but GRUB calls it /dev/sdd & doesn't know /dev/sde at all. GRUB doesn't know raid partitions I believe. We loaded the correct vendor modules at the time of install, installed systems fine, but GRUB cannot boot them unless we tell it new partitions. this's an issue incase there's power-loss & servers are set to boot up automatically. Our smolts system profile address is: http://www.smolts.org/show?uuid=pub_bbc1af31-25b1-4eb1-aa1f-aa8aab2b67c7 lspci -v & fdisk -l and lsmod reports are attached here. Another issue is that soundcard was detected and configured but no audio. we would try to compile a kernel but there are no drivers missing here. Please help this email reach the right openSuSe people. best regards,

[opensuse] MediaWiki For openSUSE 11.1?
by Randall R Schulz 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

Hi, I was pretty surprised to find no MediaWiki packages in the 11.1 distribution nor on the Build Service (there are auxiliary packages, but not MediaWiki itself). Am I looking in the wrong place??

[opensuse] Webcam / headset combo recommendation
by Philippe Andersson 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

Hello list, I recently migrated my father's computer from WinME to OpenSuSE 11.0. He would like to use Skype on the new platform. Can you recommend well supported choices for the following hardware: - USB webcam - headset Please note that the computer already has a sound card (can't remember the brand or model) that is recognised and configured. The usual "extra" multimedia packages and codecs are installed. Based on this, would you recommend to use a headset that plugs in the soundcard jacks or a USB one ? Any and all pointers appreciated.
