Bad blocks on a ReiserFS volume. How to retrieve files?
by Silviu Marin-Caea 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

I have a large hard-disk (120 GB) on which some blocks went bad. Now, it cannot be mounted. Attached is what debugreiserfs says. What can I do; I'm newbie to reiserfs architecture. I thought that ReiserFS keeps copies of the superblock or something, like ext2/3 does. reiserfsck says "error occured looks like hardware problem. bread cannot read block 13271040". That's the actual number it displays. PS I have asked the same question on the reiserfs-list, but it's extremely low traffic. Maybe someone here knows more.

Sorry SuSE: 9.1 is Waste of time and money!
by Terje J. Hanssen 17 May '24

17 May '24

I am sorry to conclude that my upgrade from SuSE 9.0 Pro to 9.1 Pro has been waste of time and money for me, so far. The same I have to say about the free SuSE "Installation support". The reason is that my SuSE 9.1 installation only detects 1 of my 3 SCSCI devices (as I wrote in another subject on this forum: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-May/3254.html) Yamaha 4416S CDRW recorder detected HP DVD Writer 100i NOT detected Epson 1640SU scanner NOT detected It's rather stupid. I have installed 9.1 using the DVD disk just in the HP DVD drive, but after the installation of 9.1, the KDE/Konqueror /media/recorder cannot access it and YaST2 cannot install additional software from it. Only one "Cdrecorder" is found in My computer and that is the Yamaha 4416 drive, which the KDE/Konqueror file manager assign as /media/recorder11. I am sure 9.1 is the reason, as I hadn't this problems with 9.0. I have tried both an update and two several new installation of 9.1. Neither SJDS nor Windows on the same multiboot PC have problems to detect these devices. In my opinion SuSE should therefore debug 9.1 better and longer, and not leave the problems to the customers. I see SuSE notes on their web saying that they know SCSI scanners are not detected in 9.1. But regarding my HP DVD writer problem, the SuSE support (as usual) don't take the responsibility and argue that this problem (a combination of IDE disk and SCSI devices) isn't included in their free installation support! This sounds remarkable, and I have never had a modern PC of so simple model or configuration that it has fitted the limited rules for the free installation support. Terje J. Hanssen

Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi all, Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no? end of line Tracer Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash -- ---KMail 1.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

[opensuse] 11.2 yast sw management keeps segfaulting when you press "Accept"

Dev, guys, Any body else seeing yast software management crash after you have selected packages, are all done, and then you press "Accept"?

[opensuse] kernel messages - disk errors?

We had a generator test at work over the weekend that exceeded the UPS time limits so machines shut down. They've all come back but I'm seeing a lot of messages in /var/log/messages of one of them (every few minutes). I strongly suspect they're telling me to buy a new disk but I need to find and read the friendly manual to be sure. Can anybody confirm my suspicion and/or point me at the correct manual?

[opensuse] Windows XP, 11.2, and Seagate HDs - sort of....
by Basil Chupin 23 Dec '09

23 Dec '09

I apologise for the following longish message which, possibly, may belong in the off-topic list... but also doesn't belong there.... Please bear with me.. Back last May I bought 2 brand new, "matched", Seagate 160GB HDs. There was no way I could install 11.2 MS-anything or RC-anything on one of them. It would *"install"* but at the first boot grub could not find the operating system. Doing some testing on the HD came up with contrary results: one set of tools showed that there was nothing wrong with the HD (using Seagate's SeaTools) but then using the Windows Scandisk from a bootable floppy showed that there were bad sectors at the start of the HD. OK, I put this HD away, and now the shop were I bought it will replace the HD when I take it back. Fine. However, the second Seagate appears to be OK, and I used it for my wife's computer last weekend to install 11.2. All went well, and she now has 11.2. *But*, it takes forever for 11.2 to boot on her machine :-( . And after it does, the "HD in use" light remains ON. When I then reboot and check the file system (default, ext4), using "e2fsck -p /dev/sda1", shows that there is no problem with the file system, the "HD in use" light stops being on for the rest of the day while the computer is in use. My concern now is: is there a problem with *this* Seagate HD which should also be replaced by the shop or is there something else which needs to be done to stop the "HD in use" light showing? The second hassle. A couple of weeks ago, when I was interstate, I bought a couple of 500GB Western Digital HDs. These are now the ones which have 11.2 installed on them, and they are working fine... with a possible qualification. The qualification is that I installed XP SP2 to start with, before installing oS 11.2, and created my "usual" ntfs partitions on both HDs. No drama here. However, I also have an external 500GB Maxtor USB drive - factory formatted in ntfs- which I use for backing-up files both from both Linux and 'old' installation/s of XP (residing on other set/s of HDs). The problem - which has me totally bamboozled - is that I can copy, using mc (midnight commander), files from the 'old' installation/s of XP to the external USB and then can copy using mc from the external Maxtor to the partitions on the new installation of XP.... *BUT* I am unable to copy the same files from external USB Maxtor to the new XP installation using anything from within the newly installed XP :-( : there is a "pretend" copy of the first couple of files but then the whole process slows to ~20kb/s, and in the final result NOTHING has been copied- the file name/s contain/s 0 bytes. The error message in XP is, if I recall correctly, is along the lines of, "cannot write to the destination <disk/directory>" or similar. I have done chkdsk <X>: /f on all of the partitions while in XP and all partitions (including the external Maxtor) have no errors Sorry about asking about this here, but if you can throw some light on this hassle of mine I'd be most grateful.

When I execute kbluetooth I get the following error message after clicking on the systray icon: "protocol not supported bluetooth" ...when I click on "OK", Konqueror launches but nothing happens. However, I can discover devices with "hcitool scan" or even using "kbluemon"... and that's it. I've been reading some threads and it seemed to be a bug on previous KDE versions... which is odd because it was working like a charm under SuSE 10.3 Am I missing something here? -- # /etc/init.d/bluetooth status Checking service bluetooth (enabled) : hcid (activated) running hid2hci (activated) opd unused rfcomm (activated) pand unused dund unused # rpm -qa | grep blue bluez-utils-3.32-8.7 bluez-firmware-1.2-99.1 bluez-audio-3.32-8.7 kdebluetooth-1.0_beta8-109.1 bluez-libs-3.32-3.2 -- TIA, Martin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Nasty USB kernel error causes usb drive disconnect and disconnect of ALL mounted smb network shares
by David C. Rankin 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Guys, I have had a strange occurrence with a USB drive attached to my computer. I don't know if this is due to the new ext4 format on the usb drive or a kernel error affecting the usb subsystem. The usb drive I have has another install on it with / as ext4 and /home still ext3 per the 11.2 setup defaults. When I connect the drive to 11.2 the connection and automount work like they are supposed to. However, anywhere from 1 - 30 minutes later, a kernel error occurs that knocks the drive and all partitions off-line AND disconnects all smb mounted drives. Here is a snippet of the log entries.

Dear all, I have upgraded my opensuse 11.2 on my X61 laptop. Everything seems okay except that the display seems really sluggish and kaffeine stopped working. Now with kaffeine I just see a blank black screen and can only hear sound.

Re: [opensuse] ssh problem in opensuse 11.1 ADDON

I am not sure since I don't know the definitions of local LAN and remote network in this context. I am trying to reach (ssh to) a computer that belongs to the network I am connected to through the VPN channel. So I guess the answer is remote network. Anyway the same vpnclient in openSUSE 10.3 works perfectly on the same computer. And If I remember correctly it works on another openSUSE 11.1 box as well, though I have to check it again. Could it be a configuration or maybe a hardware/kernel-version (network card) issue?

[opensuse] Howto Start enlightment from /usr/local/e16/bin ?? (brainless moment)
by David C. Rankin 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Guys, I have built enlightenment from source but I cannot get it to start. The packages were built with --prefix=/usr/local so the binaries are in /usr/local/e16/bin and I have added /usr/local/e16/bin to my PATH. I have tried to start it from runlevel 3 and from runlevel 5 after a CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to drop to the command line. The problem is that I get a DISPLAY variable error on start. I have set: DISPLAY=':0' DISPLAY=':0.0' and I still get the following error: Enlightenment cannot connect to the display nominated by your shell's DISPLAY environment variable. You may set this variable to indicate which display name Enlightenment is to connect to. It may be that you do not have an Xserver already running to serve that Display connection, or that you do not have permission to connect to that display. Please make sure all is correct before trying again. Run an Xserver by running xdm or startx first, or contact your local system administrator, or Xserver vendor, or read the X, xdm and startx manual pages before proceeding. I know this should be simple, thus the (brainless moment) but what's the trick?? After picking through xdm-config, Xsetup, Xstartup, Xresources, Xsession, and Xservers files, I though in the towel and just decided to ask :-( -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Thunderbird Spell Checker
by Stephen P. Molnar 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Thunderbird/3.0b4 It would appear that spell checking on Thunderbird is not working. The window opens, but nothing happens, except closing when close is clicked twice. I tried searching the Thunderbird web site, but this only resulted in confusion on my part. I realize that this is a beta version. Has anyone else found this problem, perhaps a solution? -- Stephen P.

[opensuse] opensuse 11.2 not recognising an encrypted luks partition on external USB drive
by Andrew Colvin 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi all I have installed opensuse 11.2 on one of my laptops (fresh install and not upgrade), however, whenever I plug in an external usb drive which has 3 partitions (part 1 is vfat, 2 is ext3, 3 is luks encrypted ext4) on it there is no recognition of the encrypted partition by the device notifier. When I insert it into my other machines (opensuse 11.0 and 11.1) the device notifier recognises it and I get prompted for the password for the partition. At first I though it may be the predicate for encrypted volume (as it used to be for previous kde4 installs) but that is the same as the setting on my kde 4.3 on opensuse 11.0 and 11.1 installs For info the luks is installed and working as the whole drive is encrypted and I can also do cryptsetup luksOpen and manually mount I then checked the device with hal-device and what I found showed that hal is recognising the partition exists but not that it is encrypted Below is the output from my opensuse 11.0 server which is working ok but on the 11.2 install I get empty strings where ever there should be crypto references eg volume.fsusage = '' (string) [sorry cant give the output in this mail as I left the laptop at work] To make sure this hasnt been caused by incompatible old versions or partitioning I reformatted the drive under 11.2 as well Does anybody know how to resolve this or seen it before.
