[opensuse] gparted grashing on gpt partition creation opensuse 11.0
by Vahe Avedissian 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Folks, I'm trying to create a partition > 2TB on opensuse 11.0 x64 kernel 2.6.25.18-0.2-default. As far as I know only parted and gparted understand gpt partitions (fdisk, cfdisk, etc... don't work). >From what I can see the kernel does have GPT support enabled. parted does have gpt as an argument to mklabel, but when I specify that is tells me it is an invalid token: GNU Parted 1.8.8 Using /dev/sda Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) mklabel gpt Warning: The existing disk label on /dev/sda will be destroyed and all data on this disk will be lost. Do you want to continue? parted: invalid token: gpt Yes/No? No (parted) quit When I try gparted, it simply crashes with several pages of back trace: ====================== libparted : 1.8.8 ====================== *** glibc detected *** /usr/sbin/gpartedbin: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x000000000089f400 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib64/libc.so.6[0x7fbad8e80af8] /lib64/libc.so.6(cfree+0x76)[0x7fbad8e826e6] /usr/lib64/libparted-1.8.so.8(ped_disk_delete_partition+0xb5)[0x7fbadcd05575] /usr/sbin/gpartedbin[0x449412] /usr/sbin/gpartedbin[0x45667e] /usr/sbin/gpartedbin[0x42dc69] /lib64/libpthread.so.0[0x7fbad8bf6040] /lib64/libc.so.6(clone+0x6d)[0x7fbad8ede08d] ======= Memory map: ======== 00400000-004ce000 r-xp 00000000 08:46 183462 /usr/sbin/gpartedbin 006cd000-006ce000 r--p 000cd000 08:46 183462 /usr/sbin/gpartedbin 006ce000-006d0000 rw-p 000ce000 08:46 183462 /usr/sbin/gpartedbin 006d0000-00a08000 rw-p 006d0000 00:00 0 [heap] 40256000-40257000 ---p 40256000 00:00 0 40257000-40a57000 rw-p 40257000 00:00 0 7fbacc000000-7fbacc032000 rw-p 7fbacc000000 00:00 0 7fbacc032000-7fbad0000000 ---p 7fbacc032000 00:00 0 7fbad3508000-7fbad3535000 r--p 00000000 08:46 69458 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/albwi.ttf 7fbad3535000-7fbad355f000 r--p 00000000 08:46 69456 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/albwb.ttf 7fbad355f000-7fbad35bf000 rw-s 00000000 00:09 5570580 /SYSV00000000 (deleted) 7fbad35bf000-7fbad4372000 r--p 00000000 08:48 27037 /opt/kde3/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache 7fbad4372000-7fbad4fcd000 r--p 00000000 08:46 194187 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache 7fbad4fcd000-7fbad4ff7000 r--p 00000000 08:46 69455 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/albw.ttf 7fbad4ff7000-7fbad4ff9000 r-xp 00000000 08:46 24382 /usr/lib64/pango/1.6.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.so 7fbad4ff9000-7fbad51f8000 ---p 00002000 08:46 24382 /usr/lib64/pango/1.6.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.so ......

[opensuse] Fantastic - Latest Java Plugin Works with FF on 11.0 x86_64 - not with opera?
by David C. Rankin 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Listmates, The latest java updates have cured my inability to use the java applet at: http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=SHV&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loo… on firefox x86_64. However, I cannot get opera to show the page. I have tried to configure opera to use both: /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.2_b09/jre/lib/amd64/ /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.u11/jre/lib/amd64/ and opera will "Validate" the java path, but when I go to the site, all I get is a blank page. What's the trick with oper 9.63 on 11.0 x86_64? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] classic x cursort theme files
by Istvan Gabor 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Happy new year to openSUSE users and list members! My question is where the files of classic x cursor theme are located? In /usr/share/icons there are a few cursor themes but none of these seems to be the classic one. The reason I need this that the classic cursor theme looks different in openSUSE 10.3 and 11.1. In 10.3 it has black arrow and white right hand with an extended second finger. In 11.1 the arrow has white color. I would like to have the same theme in 11.1 as in 10.3.

[opensuse] openSuSE Server Setup page finally Reformatted - Need Feedback
by David C. Rankin 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Listmates, I have finally got my openSuSE server setup page formatted for the web instead of being squirreled away as a text file. If you have a moment, please look it over and give me the good, the bad and the ugly along with any tips or additions you have for making it better or content you would like to see me add. This is my first cut at the reformatting and I will split the sections up in the future, but I left it as one whole page to make it easier to print, save, etc... The original text file is still available for download. However, I don't have the resources to maintain both, so the web page will be what gets updated as I go forward. Recall, this originally started out as just my notes on server setup so I don't claim that it is an all inclusive wonder document. It is just my reference for putting a server back together in case of disaster. I still have more content to add, but this is the old text file formatted for easier reading and access. The primary table of contents is: Preliminary Post Install Cleanup BIND 9 DNS (primary & backup) dhcpd (with dynamic updates to DNS) MySQL - Securing Your Server Samba (stand-alone server, pdf-gen script included) ntp - Network Time Protocol Postfix & Dovecot Apache2 Web Server with SSL (some content still text) VPN - Virtual Private Network It also includes sections on spamassassin, and setting up my web apps squirrelmail and eGroupWare. If you haven't seen eGroupWare 1.6, I highly recommend you take a look. That groupware app will absolutely blow you away. Ralf Becker has done a fantastic job with development and version 1.6 (released 12/08) is a thing of beauty. The direct url to my server setup page is: http://www.3111skyline.com/linux/openSuSE-server.php It is also under the menu item of "openSuSE Howtos -> openSuSE server setup". Thanks for any feedback you can provide. Also feel free to copy/download/hack it up for your own use as you like. Just send me any feedback you think will make the page better. Remember, I am not a web development guy, so some of my formatting and layout may be rather clunky for lack of better words. I used quanta for page development and I have t give kudos to the kde guys that have contributed to quanta. I haven't found anything better for web creation. Think of it as kate tailored for web development. It is awesome. That's it, thanks for any help you can give. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
