[opensuse] firewire 800 disks not working on openSUSE 11.1
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

I have a firewire card: Texas Instruments TSB82AA2 IEEE-1394b Link Layer Controller (rev 01) and an external firewire disk: LACIE "Big Disk Extreme" In openSUSE 10.3 I was able to mount and format the disk. In 11.1, I see this in /var/log/messages) when I power the disk on: kernel: ieee1394: Node changed: 0-01:1023 -> 0-00:1023 kernel: ieee1394: The root node is not cycle master capable; selecting a new root node and resetting... kernel: ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-00:1023 kernel: ieee1394: Node changed: 0-00:1023 -> 0-01:1023 I do not think the drive has broken. Unfortunately, this is the only system around here that I can test it with. My 10.3 system is gone... Anyone else having 1394 disk issues with 11.1? I do not see much activity on bugzilla. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] JavaScript in KDE 4.1 Akregator?
by Randall R Schulz 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

Hi, Is it possible to enable JavaScript when viewing full Web pages in Akregator for KDE 4.1? If not, why not? (Please tell me it's not some misguided notion of "security.")

[opensuse] It's Clean Already!
by Randall R Schulz 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

Hi, I've just been treated to what, according to my Web searching, is a very old problem: Launch feedback and a taskbar entry for "HTTP Cache Cleaner". It's been bouncing along, now, for several minutes. CPU utilization and I/O volume are very low. What might be the solution to this? All the "*cache_cleaner*.desktop" files I can find have the startup-notify option set to "false." What's the proper solution to this? By the way, in many years of using SuSE / openSUSE Linux, I've never seen this. Randall Schulz P.S. Just as I was about to send this message on its way, the bouncing cursor and the taskbar entry disappeared. I estimate it was running for about 7 minutes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Question: If I am using NetworkManager and DHCP, how do i set a default gateway? I cannot set it from YaST as the connection is controlled by NetworkManager. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Since I have critical apps and db's, which way to upgrade is safer. Upgrade or reinstall ? P.S. I already have a drive to mirror 11.0 Thanks -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler(a)att.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home & Business user of Linux - 10 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Anti-virus in Linux (openSUSE 11.1), is it required ?
by Jay Mistry 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

I use openSUSE 11.1 Linux (dual-boot with Win XP Prof.) for general home use (browse Internet, documents, occasional music/video view, etc). For this type of use, are either/both of these required: I have an always-on cable Internet connection (broadband). 1) A Firewall (default App Armour is enabled) 2) Anti-virus (opSUSE 11.1 has clam antivirus) Should one leave them on & update as necessary or is it safe to browse without them enabled ?

Unfortunatly it now has no configuration file or utility for what I know but knowing your problem it may help. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] First attempt at installing wireless
by Greg Freemyer 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

All, I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with a Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 wireless controller (per lspci). Per http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Network_Adapters_(Wireless) For the BCM 4312 it says: 11.0 Native kernel driver. First check if b43-fwcutter is installed, if not install it, then run as root the included script: install_bcm43xx_firmware from the /usr/sbin directory. You have to be already connected to the Internet to run the script. Restart your system to load the driver. I've just done that and I still am not showing a wireless controller at all via ifconfig or iwconfig. That page does not have OS 11.1 info, but I assume it is still supported. What else am I supposed to do?

Please note that my list were only concerned with *system* files, as to the original question. Data and user files are a completely different matter. /home should surely always be part of a backup. > How does one backup those (esp. 'partition infos' ) ? I have experienced disks loosing their partition table, that's why I do it. Usually it suffices to just save the output of "fdisk -l /dev/sda" or whatever disk you have. That doesn't work in all cases, that's spelled out in the script that I had appended. > (I believe the list of installed RPM's can be backed up as an > .xml file (from YaST --. Software Management) ? Just call "rpm -a" and save the output. I don't have enough spare time to help you set up such a backup, sorry.
