[opensuse] Xorg failure when getting out of suspend 2 disk

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Content-ID: <alpine.LSU.2.00.0911291228401.1440(a)nimrodel.valinor> Hi, I have a new machine (with oS 11.2) that I want to hibernate. The problem is that the X locks completely, keyboard nonfunctional, black screen. If I restore on text mode, perfect; the moment I type ctrl-alt-f7, dead. My suspicion is the open NV driver. I would like to try retarting the driver automatically (or even manually), but no idea how. I can ssh into the machine from outside, when locked.

Has it been discarded for some reason? There are several wiki pages, but so far, I'm out of good ideas. I think the trick would be to tell the system to unload/reload the driver, but how? http: //en.opensuse.org/Power_Management_-_Suspend http: //en.opensuse.org/NVidia_Suspend_HOWTO http: //en.opensuse.org/Suspend_to_RAM http: //en.opensuse.org/Suspend_to_disk_tips http: //en.opensuse.org/Suspend_Troubleshooting - -- Cheers, Carlos E.R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAksSX0oACgkQtTMYHG2NR9UUDQCfdsUd8RhGEOLSR+KkUBXqp2SD v0MAnjAP4qKWKUhdQT2rvrYKePke7Nxq =KR9D -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] DNS vs KDE4
by eddie 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

I've just used yast to set up a dns server on my computer. I can do ping and nslookups from the commandline and I have set up a windows xp virtual machine (using virtualbox) which also has no problem accessing the internet. However, I find that I cannot use konqueror, the weather report fails and the update notifier also fails with an unknown host error. It seems as if KDE4 is not able to use the local DNS or anything else once the local DNS is active. If I enter the ip address in konqueror then it finds the site without a problem. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a solution? Thanks Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] problem with adsl
by Felde Norbert 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

Hi, I configured my adsl connection, but it dous not work after reboot. If I try "ifup dsl0" it prints that "interface dsl0 is up" but "ifstatus dsl0" still prints "interface dsl0 is not available" and I am not connected to the internet. To make it working again I have to start yast lan, I do not change anything and press cancel. After that I can connect with ifup. It is very strange for me and I do not know what I should look for. I listed kernel modules and processes before and after "repairing" my dsl but there is no difference, just a joydev module was loaded. Has somebody an idea? thanks, fenor -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No scrip-fu in Gimp 2.6
by Anton Aylward 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

I'm missing something. (yes, its a pun!0 I haven't used gimp since I converted from Mandriva to opsenSuse at 11.0, and I'm now I'm at 11.1 and gimp-2.6 I bring up gimp and there's no script-fu on the main menu bar. Where I do find it, there aren't all the scripts under any menu or submenu. I do see them by name in the script directory, but they don't appear in any menu. I've checked the configuration and it does point to the directory with the scripts (why is it /usr/share/gimp/2.0 when we're running 2.6 ?) -- The problem with comforting illusions is that someone else ends up footing the bill for your comfort. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Video card not shutting down.
by James Knott 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

I have an NVidea GeForce 7300 GS video card. One thing I've noticed is that it often will not turn off the video to my monitor, which prevents the monitor from going into standby. Restarting the desktop will correct this for a while, but it will return. I don't see any apps open that may cause this. The desktop is configured to go to black screen after 10 minutes and it does. I'm running 64 bit OpenSUSE 11.0 and an LG W2353V 1080p monitor connected via DVI. However, this issue also occurred with an IBM VGA LCD monitor connected via VGA cable. Any ideas? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

There are two possible remedies: 1) If you don't know what Zeroconf is and have no Apple system, remove the string "mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] " from the line above. I.e., leave only files and dns. 2) Otherwise, check that avahi is running. I can't help you further in that use case, there others must chime in. (I don't use it. This stuff is good, as long as it works, and is pure horror if it doesn't work. Just like all things from Apple. I'm an old Unix grey beard (literally) and will not adapt to this new-fangled stuff.
