[opensuse] Soon giving up on openSUSE
by Christian 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hi all, Well, I have been trying to switch to openSUSE from Ubuntu, but I cant get this to work. I need to upgrade a package that is installed by the default, orca and at-spi. I usually check out the latest trunk through svn. I have been trying to do zypper si -d orca at-spi but the source packages are not available and so i am not able to build the dependencies so that i can compile and install the new versions. On ubuntu i could just issue: sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-orca at-spi and everything went just fine. So I then suppose i will need to go the hard way and obtaining all dependencies myself. Many thanks, Christian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] QEMU Virtual Machine doesn't pick up correct DNS server
by JosipBroz 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hi all! In my QEMU virtual installation of Windows XP I can't surf the Internet (or ping by host name). I narrowed down the problem to the VM's DNS - it sticks with the default 10.0.2.3 DNS server, although my host DNS server is 192.168.2.1 (i.e. my router). Of course I'm able to reconfigure my Windows LAN connection so it points to the correct DNS server, but the problem is, this is on a wireless laptop that roams a lot, so the DNS server will change as soon as I connect it directly to my DSL modem, or connect to another LAN, or roam to another AP and so on. Reconfiguring my guest OS everytime would be a real PITA. Now, is there a command-line option in QEMU to make QEMU pick up the correct DNS server from the host network? Or alternatively, a setting in openSuSE to make it forward the correct DNS number to the virtual machine? Any suggestion welcome, except answers of the type "install virtualbox, install vmware, switch to Vista, switch to Solaris" and similar... ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 9.1 aka 10.1 aka 11.1 aka lousy Christmas present?
by Felix Miata 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

On 2008/12/24 07:22 (GMT-0500) James Knott composed: > If things don't improve, 11.1 may be the one distro I skip. 9.1 was first 2.6 release, hardly a good release. 10.1 had a butchered package management system, definitely not a good release. 11.1? I'm not sure I've seen a clearly major guffaw, but there sure seems to be a lot of minors and near majors: KDE4 still isn't anywhere near as useful as KDE3. Wireless problems. Partitioner usability problems. RAID problems. Chopped off non-resizable columns in YaST2. Failure to boot. DVD access problems. Horrible Intel video performance. What did I miss? Novell should have stuck to an 8-9 month release plan and let 11.1 out Feb or March. I'm thinking my 10.2 replacement box may need to get 11.0 instead of 11.1. I need to decide soon. 11.0 could get done today instead of waiting for the retail 11.1 to arrive. -- "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain." Psalm 127:1 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse] /opt directory keeps getting its permissions reset
by Hugo Palma 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

I keep my applications installed on the /opt directory that is owned by the root user and group. In order for my user to be able to install applications there i've added it to the root group and did: chmod 775 /opt This works fine. Still, every now and then and without me doing another chmod i find that the /op directory has gone back to the original permissions that are 755. I first thought it was the guid setting so i disabled it, but still the same happens. Any idea what could be causing this ? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] YaST fails to configure Hauppauge 350 PVR card
by Marc Chamberlin 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hi - I don't understand why this is now happening, but in SuSE11.1 YaST no longer seems able to configure the Hauppauge 350 PVR TV card! This is such a standard card, been around for a long time and has worked fine in previous 10.x releases... The only thing that YaST is reporting a failure on is that it wants to install a package called ivtv-kmp-default. I do not find this package on the CD nor in the online repositories. So what gives? Do someone break the support for this card and if so why? How do I get it to work? Should I go find it on a previous CD of off the internet and install it separately? If I do, will it be supported or am I on my own? Marc... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Strange "PermissionDeniedByPolicy" Problem with 11.1
by Rainer Krienke 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hello, I recently installed a new 11.1 system using autoyast which basically worked fine. However working with KDE i noticed a strange problem when trying to supend the machine to disk. Eg if I type (not beeing root) suspend -U in a KDE-terminal window I get the message: Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.hibernate no <-- (action, result) When I am logged on beeing root then everything is OK. So its after all a rights problem. Originally I tried to use kopwersave, but this tool disables to corresponding menu entrys right from the start. Another problem happens when accessing an USB stick. When I attach such a device I get a notification in KDE that there is a new device but if I try to open it using dolphin, then dolphin says: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed no <- (action, result) How can I debug this bug to find out what is going wrong? Where do I find the configuration that says who is allowd to mount a device. I guess this has something to do with the autoyast installation, since I have two systems installed this way and both show these symptoms and another system installed without autoyast and there I do not have these problems. How can I gon on to find the problem? Any ideas are welcome.
