[opensuse] OpenSUSE Branding Removal?
by Lindsay Mathieson 27 Dec '09

27 Dec '09

Is there anyway to remove the OpenSUSE branding from the KDE desktop (ie. the Kicker menu opensuse icon etc). I much prefer the std KDE graphics.

[opensuse] headset and loudspeakers at the same time
by lynn 27 Dec '09

27 Dec '09

hi I have loudspeakers plugged into the rear of my Desktop computer. If I plug my headset mic and speakers into these rear outputs everything works fine. If I want to use the headset, I have to unplug the loudspeakers and then plug in the headset. I have the same sockets on the front of the computer. Nothing is output from the front sockets. Is there any way I can have both without having to plug and unplug each time? I know I can get a swich for around €10 but I think I may have this already. Has this been solved by anyone?

[opensuse] jDownloader question...
by Jim Hatridge 27 Dec '09

27 Dec '09

Hi all! I really really really HATE jDownloader! If it was not for me not being able to find files in formats other than dlc I would not even bother with this program. Anyway I installed jDownloader and tried to d/l a file from rapidshare. I got this error: JDownloader not responding on http://localhost:9666/flashgot! Please check your firewall settings. Could someone tell me how to handle this? I don't even think I have a firewall turned on. Anyway how about a clue? Thanks everyone!

[opensuse] kernel messages - disk errors?
by Dave Howorth 27 Dec '09

27 Dec '09

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? Thanks, Dave Here's a sample of one burst of messages: Sep 28 13:50:07 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 Sep 28 13:50:07 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 Sep 28 13:50:07 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: cmd c8/00:08:a3:c0:73/00:00:00:00:00/e3 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 4096 in Sep 28 13:50:07 suse1 kernel: res 51/40:08:a3:c0:73/00:00:00:00:00/e3 Emask 0x9 (media error) Sep 28 13:50:07 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100 Sep 28 13:50:07 suse1 kernel: ata3: EH complete Sep 28 13:50:11 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 Sep 28 13:50:11 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 Sep 28 13:50:11 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: cmd c8/00:08:a3:c0:73/00:00:00:00:00/e3 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 4096 in Sep 28 13:50:11 suse1 kernel: res 51/40:08:a3:c0:73/00:00:00:00:00/e3 Emask 0x9 (media error) Sep 28 13:50:11 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100 Sep 28 13:50:11 suse1 kernel: ata3: EH complete Sep 28 13:50:15 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 Sep 28 13:50:15 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 Sep 28 13:50:15 suse1 kernel: ata3.00: cmd c8/00:08:a3:c0:73/00:00:00:00:00/e3 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 4096 in Sep 28 13:50:15 suse1 kernel: res 51/40:08:a3:c0:73/00:00:00:00:00/e3 Emask 0x9 (media error) Sep 28 13:50:20 suse1 avahi-daemon[3595]: Invalid query packet.

[opensuse] Badmem
by Felix Miata 26 Dec '09

26 Dec '09

I have a small block of bad RAM in a DDR2-800 dual channel pair, @930.6MB, that's causing me lockups when I try to use K3B to copy a DVD. I looked at: http://badmem.sourceforge.net/docu/BadMEM-HOWTO.html http://sourceforge.net/projects/badmem/ Then I tried to find a kernel with it already compiled in on http://software.opensuse.org/search but no luck. Has anyone tried using this in a recent openSUSE kernel? I'm using 11.0, but with a 2.6.27 kernel from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ilya_41/openSUSE_11.0/i586/ to get around a CIFS bug in the stock 11.0 kernels. Is there any easier way to prevent use of a bad RAM block until replacement RAM shows up? -- " We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion."

[opensuse] partition problem os11.1
by Robert Schweikert 26 Dec '09

26 Dec '09

Hi, I just ran 'zypper up' on an openSUSE 11.1 machine. This pulled in a new kernel: kernel-pae-2.6.27.39-0.2.1 kernel-pae-extra-2.6.27.39-0.2.1.i586 The installation of the kernel packages brought with it a warning message (repeated multiple times for each package): 2009-12-26 07:28:01 WARNING: GRUB::GrubDev2UnixDev: No partition found for /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3300831A_3NF0VTGS with 1. I am a bit gun shy at this point to reboot the new system, being afraid the machine will not find the kernel or other important stuff at boot time and turn into a brick.

[opensuse] mozilla-nss-certs on a 64-bit system with a 32-bit Firefox...
by Manfred Hollstein 26 Dec '09

26 Dec '09

Hi there, I've recently installed the packages from the mozilla repository; this resulted in a new package "mozilla-nss-certs" which I guess deals with checking certificates. Due to my - potentially - strange setup (I use a 32-bit Firefox on a 64-bit openSUSE-11.1 system), this resulted in Firefox not being able to access any https://... site anymore. Trying to replace the 64-bit version of mozilla-nss-certs with its 32-bit version will probably make Firefox work again, but I'm afraid, it will kill all the rest of the 64-bit applications which need the nss/ssl functionality. Unfortunately I cannot install the 32-bit version in parallel either: # rpm -ivh mozilla-nss-certs-3.12.4-4.1.i586.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package mozilla-nss-certs-3.12.4-4.1.i586 is already installed Extracting it manually using # rpm2cpio mozilla-nss-certs-3.12.4-4.1.i586.rpm | { cd /; cpio -idvm; } results in a fully functional Firefox again. So, what is needed AFAICS is a mozilla-nss-certs-32bit package, which, for what is worth, is already provided for the base package: mozilla-nss-32bit. Wolfgang, can you please create such a mozilla-nss-certs-32bit package? TIA, cheers. l8er manfred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
