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] Installing Virtual Box on 11.2

I just had a look at the instructions at http://en.opensuse.org/VirtualBox_Installation but they refer to earlier versions of openSUSE.

I have a set of instructions produced by Alexei Eremenko back on 18-05-2007 - and the same question also applies to these: are they out-of-date or still current?

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.2 YaST - Add Software Repository

Dear all, i have followed the instruction at http://en.opensuse.org/Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources and created a repomd/rpm md/YUM Sources using the createrepo command. the repo url is http://192.168.137.128/suse_repo/ but when i try to add this repo in the YaST - Software Repositories, there is always a connection time out. (But i can access the repo thru browser so i think that should not be a network problem). and i found that it try to get the ~/media.1/products from my repo. but according to http://en.opensuse.org/Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources , my repo is NOT a "real" YaST repository. and seems the YaST does not know that is a repomd/rpm md/YUM Sources. How could i solve the problem. Thanks.

[opensuse] What I had to do to get wireless communication
by Stan Goodman 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

I have a new router (D-Link DIR-615) and a new wireless card (Intel 5300agn) in my notebook machine, and was unable to establish communication between them. After several days of puzzlement, I began to entertain the notion that one or both were defective. In an effort to establish which, I connected an external HD in place of that of the notebook machine, installed WinXP on it, and installed the wireless card's driver on it; the card worked properly, so it was no longer suspect. I thought I would them have to devise a troubleshooting scheme for the router, but when I tried to use the wireless card to go online with my own router, it worked perfectly. I had made no changes whatever in any configuration. If someone can explain what made the difference, I will stop believing in poltergeists. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] selecting the atlantis screen saver on 11.2 box locks it up
by Michael Folsom 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

Folks: Just installed 11.2 x86-64 on an AMD box with a gigabyte motherboard and built in ATI video card - specifics: System is fully patched and up to date, Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2HP AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard with a ATI Radeon HD 3200 built in video card Anyway, after I went into Control Center -> Screen Saver and then selected Atlantis I lost my keyboard and only had some mouse control - buttons no longer worked so I couldn't select another screen saver. Also, cntrl-alt-backspace didn't kill the X server and cntrl-alt-delte didn't kill the box. I tried to ssh into the box but after taking my password that shell locked. I ended up having to power cycle the system. My question - is there a file I can edit to delete that stupid setting since I can't use the normal tool, the gui, to change it?

[opensuse] Emptying the Trash in Evolution

I now have 28134 Messages in it, obviously going back quite a ways. I tried to manually delete each message, I've tried File-> Empty Trash, as well as creating a fake folder to "move them to" and then delete the folder, but it will only copy the messages to the folder, still leaving a copy in Trash.

[opensuse] Newer ATI based laptops, does the fglrx driver work? (or which laptop gpus work now?)
by David C. Rankin 01 Jan '10

01 Jan '10

Guys, I'm starting to look for another laptop. My current laptop is just fine, but it will not run 11.2 due to the lack of an ati (fglrx) driver. The current radeon or radeonhd driver are unworkable due to the heat/fan noise produced by the lack of sufficient gpu downclocking in the drivers to keep the temps down. Not to mention the 500% loss of graphics performance and continual Desktop Effects compositing shutdowns that occur. So for the time being, I've wiped 11.2 from my laptop and have gone back to 11.0. (sweet by the way) With the fglrx driver, my laptop is silent and blazing fast. With the radeon or radeonhd drivers, my laptop is loud as hell (fans on all the time) and the graphics suck. What I need to know is whether the newer fglrx driver for 2400+ series ATI laptop gpus works, from both a performance and cooling (fan noise) standpoint and whether you are satisfied with the chipsets. Also, from folks running nvidia based laptops, if you have a gpu chipset that works good with the nvidia driver, let me know. There are no sites that really compare opensuse laptop installs, gpu kernel modules, and the performance/cooling qualities. My current laptops with 9600 pro and x1200 chipsets work fabulous with the fglrx driver in 11.0, but are worthless for running 11.1 or 11.2 due to driver issues. I like good graphics performance and I want to gather information on what the current good laptop chipsets are. I have never really had that much luck with intel cards. They work fine, they're just slow even with EXA and UXA options. The ati cards worked fine until ATI stuck it to its linux customers. So what says the braintrust? Which laptop gpus work? -- David C.

1) How does one get to a terminal? Asking the main menu for "terminal" brought up a window with icons for a lot of files, but no place to exercise bash. 2) I have set up a number of virtual desktops ("workspaces"). I have also set a background, and thought I was doing so for one such workspace individually. But it affects all workspaces equally. Is there a way to has different backgrounds for each one? I'm going to like GNOME. I liked KDE3 much better, but now that I have seen The Dark Side, I expect to be a lot less picky. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Where are the gnome repos for 11.0? Most repos only have 11.1 and 11.2??
by David C. Rankin 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

Guys, Recently I have begun installing gnome as part of my linux installs. Since openbox, enlightenment, etc.. all rely on pieces of gnome to some extent, having all the parts installed helps. After my latest 11.0 install, I can't seem to find the gnome repositories for 11.0. All of the repositories I find have only 11.1 and 11.2 packages. Where are the repos with the 11.0 packages? The only gnome repository that works is: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Community/openSUSE_11.0 ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/GNOME:/Community/openSUSE_11.0/ The following has an 11.0 directory, but they are EMPTY ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/GNOME:/STABLE/openSUSE_11.0 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/STABLE/openSUSE_11.0 There are NO corresponding 11.0 repositories for: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Apps/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Apps:/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Backports:/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Contrib/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Evolution:/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/GTK:/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/STABLE:/2.24/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/STABLE:/2.26/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/STABLE:/2.28/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/UNSTABLE/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/snapshots:/ What's the deal? Is gnome just not supported or available for 11.0? Does opensuse really not provide the gnome packages for 11.0 that it does for 11.1? Will the 11.1 packages work if I rebuild from the src.rpms? Just curious. I would really like to have a solid 2.28 for 11.0. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] okular can not open ps files

Q: is there a way for okular to open .ps files? The backend ghoscript is working well because I can import a ps file but why I can not use is a a reader at least for 1 page? In the past kpdf was my favorite application but it does not work any more (kde4) and I try to find a replacement to use together with efax-gtk. Ghostview or xpdf is going backwards ;-) gimp is too much. Any tips or suggestions.

[opensuse] kde4 runtime install wiped the kde (3) entry from my kdm list - howto fix?
by David C. Rankin 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

Listmates, In 11.0 with kde3, the upgrade of several apps pulled in the kde4 runtime and other kde4 base apps and for some reason it wiped the kde3 entry from my kdm greeter list. The default DM is still DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm3" and DEFAULT_WM="startkde3". Since the 'default' is still kde3, I can still start kde3 by selecting 'default' from the kdm list, but I would like to actually have an entry for KDE3 there like my other boxes do. I have grepped until my fingers hurt, but I can't find "the list" of installed wm's that is displayed anywhere. How does this list get generated? Where to I add the KDE3 entry to get it back? This is the first time that kde3 has disappeared out of probably 10 similar installs. My only guess is that this is the first install where I had both OSS and KDE43 repositories configured for the initial update. Not a problem, I just want to finally know how to put the kde3 entry back. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Removing a failed disk from a dmraid array
by David C. Rankin 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

Listmates, After recently having a bit of fun with a dmraid array, I thought I would pass along the information in case anyone else may need it in the future. REMOVING A FAILED DISK FROM A DMRAID ARRAY To remove a failed disk from a dmraid array, the easy approach is to first deactivate the raid array in the raid bios setup during the boot sequence to disable dmraid functionality. (usually done by pressing F10 within 4 seconds of the bios POST completing) If you have more that one set of disk arrays created in the bios, just deactivate the array containing the failed disk. Then, use a boot disk (your install CD/DVD) to boot your installed system on the good disk. (The suse 11.2 DVD worked fine to boot my 10.3 system. Note: If you have another Linux system installed, you do not need your install disk, just boot from it) The install disk will search for the available boot partitions and you should be able to choose to boot from the good disk. NOTE: for my raid installs, I always mirror /, /boot, /home, any other partitions AND swap for just this purpose. When a disk fails, I have a complete system to boot on either disk. After successfully booting the installed system on the good disk, then: (1) edit and configure /boot/grub/device.map (to change hd0 and add hd1 reference to /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, respectively. When done it will look something like: (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb (fd0) /dev/fd0 then; (2) /boot/grub/menu.lst to change the references from your /dev/mapper raid array to your remaining good disk (hd1,4). You are now ready to reinstall grub on the good disk with: # grub grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 (hd1,4) (this will return your "grub root" for the single disk setup, e.g. (hd0,4) (hd1,4), etc..) grub> root (hd1,4) # or whatever was returned as your grub root Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 grub> setup (hd1) # or whatever your good disk was (e.g. (hd0) ) Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd1)"... 15 sectors are embedded. succeeded Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd1)1+15 p (hd1,4)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded Done. grub> quit Grub is now installed in the mbr of the remaining good disk. Now go get a replacement for the failed disk and recreate your array. (your remaining disk may be the next to go... ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Dolphin - under 11.2
by Basil Chupin 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

The Subject heading does not fully reflect what my question is, but nevertheless..... When a CD or a DVD or an USB is insterted, a menu is displayed asking which app will be used to open/display/execute the just-plugged-in device. I seem to recall that in earlier versions of oS one could move the position of the apps listed in that menu so that, for example, one could always have Dolphin at the very top, and therefore the default app, to open/view the contents of a flash disc/memory card just plugged-in. I know that this is possible in Windows. How is it possible to re-arrange the order of what occurs to be the default when a device is plugged-in or a CD/DVD inserted under 11.2 and (latest) KDE4?

[opensuse] good system fonts but ugly in firefox
by Vitorio Okio 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

I've installed openSUSE 11.2 w. GNOME to give it a try. I enabled fonts "Subpixel smoothing" and set it to "slight" in Appearance applet. This gave me quite nice system, documents and application fonts. Everything looks fine except Firefox. Firefox application fonts are ugly. And they do not change no matter what my system settings/fonts are. Firefox page rendering fonts are even worse. Changing fonts in Firefox preferences from default to any other available (including MS) fonts does not provide any significant improvement. I'm not having such trouble in Ubuntu. Googled it half a day without much result. Any suggestions, please? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Dual booting with Windows - 2 partitions on a single drive
by Bob Williams 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop, which is running Windows Vista Home Premium. The machine has a single drive, 250Gb. I would like to install openSUSE 11.2 alongside the Windows OS, so that I can dual boot, but I would like to hear of other people who have already done this without any mishaps. Or maybe I want to hear from those who did have mishaps, and how they overcame them. I have done the process of installing linux after Windows before, and YaST looked after me all the way, but about six months ago I tried to impress a friend, and ended up with an unbootable machine - the BIOS reported 'no operating system found'. I know that both operating systems were installed in their respective partitions, and the problem was something to do with grub writing into the MBR, which upset Windows Vista :( I have googled to a few forums, where I have found howtos, and I have read the HowTo on the openSUSE site which describes installing openSUSE alongside Windows, but onto separate hard drives. Any pointers would be welcome. Meanwhile, I'm defragmenting Windows, in preparation for resizing its partition.

[opensuse] Keyboard shortcuts priority
by Bogdan Cristea 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Is there a way to specify the priority of keyboard shortcuts when the same key sequence is assigned to start an application and to trigger a specific action in a running process ? Example: CTRL+ALT+C is assigned to start Google Chrome, but in Eclipse the same sequence is used for "Commit ..." action. When the Eclipse window is active and the above sequence is used, Google Chrome is started. In my opinion, in this situation (Eclipse window active) it makes more sense to give a higher priority to the key sequence triggering the "Commit ..." action. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] selecting atlantis screen saver on 11.2 box locks it up
by Michael Folsom 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Folks: Just installed 11.2 on an AMD box with a gigabyte motherboard and built in ATI video card - specifics below. Anyway, after I went into Control Center -> Screen Saver and then selected Atlantis I lost my keyboard and only had some mouse control - buttons no longer worked so I couldn't select another screen saver. Also, cntrl-alt-backspace didn't kill the X server and cntrl-alt-delte didn't kill the box. I tried to ssh into the box and after taking my password that shell locked.

[opensuse] Garbled virtualbox install
by Oszkó Albert 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hi all, I am afraid I managed to mess up Virtualbox installation. I tred the installation of the rpm from the virtualbox homepage, and also Virtualbox-ose from the distribution (oS 11.2, KDE 4.3.4). Of course, now I have a big mess, and I cannot get rid of it. Zypper rm says vbox is not installed Zypper in says vbox is already installed. How can I remove all the files from previous vbox install, and do a "clean" install?

[opensuse] TCP port usage question - possibly uTorrent specific
by Greg Freemyer 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

All, I researching a intrusion and I have netflows that show activity that I can relate back to a rogue install of uTorrent. Many of the netflows show an outside client connecting to the server via the bound service port. (A non-standard one in this case.) But many of the netflows show uTorrent initiating outbound connections from that same port. Is that normal? Does it indicate anything unusual? I'm familiar with FTP have both active and passive opens for the data socket. Is this just the same thing but for torrents?

[opensuse] How to sync (un)installed packages between two machines.
by Ben DJ 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hi I've got two machines, both the same OS (opensuse 11.2), arch (x86_64), and set of repositories/priorities. I'd like to sync the (un)installed packages between the two machines. I.e., I want Machine#2 to be 'upgraded' to have "all & only" the packages that are installed on Machine#1, adding, removing, or modifying as required. Starting as different installations, the two boxes should end up with a fully sync'd set of packages. What's the right/efficient way to go about this?

[opensuse] Printer toner question
by Jim Hatridge 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hi all, I'm thinking about getting a color laser printer. It has 4 toners, ie black, red, yellow, and blue. I've never had a color one before, so my question is do all the toners run low at the same time? They are about 150€ each and if I had to replace them all at once it would hurt. Anyway, I'm looking at a very good deal on a Samsung CLX-6210FX. Does anyone know anything about this printer and Linux?

[opensuse] 11.2: can't add SSL-exception to Firefox
by Werner Flamme 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hi, I'm running oS 11.2 with KDE 4.3. I installed webmin 1.500 and try to access it via Firefox (3.5.6-5.1.x86_64). I get this incredibly nonsensely "dangerous site" warning. Of course I proceed "I know the risk", "Add Exception". But nothing happens. >From other sites, I know that there used a window to pop up and the unknown certificate was shown and could be added. Now nothing happens - no popup window, no adding possible. BTW, when the respective buttons are labeled with other texts, I am sorry, I re-translated them from the german UI... With Opera, everything works fine. Even when I generate another certificate and even certificate authority via Opera, no popup window appears, no certificate can be imported. Export via Opera and Import in FF work, but still "dangerous site", no popup, the login page is not displayed in FF. I wonder if anyone else saw this...

[opensuse] is it generally recommended to write software that NOT store temporary files in home directory?
by Zhang Weiwu 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Dear all I was wondering is there a best practice or conventional suggestion that software should not write temporary files in user's home directory, but do it on /tmp/ or /var/tmp? I ask this because when I want to backup a live user profile usually it fails thanks to file size change during backup. Most of them are temporary files. In my case it is a bit difficult to back it up by asking the user to log out, because I can only access their computers in working hour, and they are working in working our, especially backup takes perhaps 1 hour, and I don't want to interrupt them by 1 hour. After working hour they took back their notebooks. I start to think, that is it by design backup should be when user not logged in, or is there exist a convention of not using ~/.app as temp but software designers tends to ignore that?

[opensuse] protecting online images
by jdd-gmane 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

Hello :-) I try to protect some online images. I have some ideas I would like to know if they have any chance of being usefull. most simply, I have a photo collection that lay online. public photos are on open folders, private one are hidden behind <directory> apache passwd restrictions. This seems to work. http://dodin.org/wiki/index.php?n=Photo.GaleriesPhoto However, I would like to have some more functions (for example slideshows) using a gallery software. right now I try to use piwigo. The software allows using permissions on images so only the needed ones are public. However most photo in the collections have trivial names (mostly the name given by the photocamera), so it's pretty simple to mind most names from knowing one. For example if I have one public image in the repository, all private names can be gessed and private image viewed. If I add apache restriction, the gallery software dont work. I try to fix this. I don't know any way to allow downloading of public images without giving publicly they URL :-( so I wonder if I could add somewere in the image name a random part making the name guess much more dificult. for example, I could change the name img_2015.jpg to img_2015_489745.jpg, 489745 being random. Do you think this will be enough? is there any better way to have the same result? do you have ideas? I need to keep part of the original name to be able to relate the image to the initial original one thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

The problem is that these lines (and the similar ones I already found) are very cryptic, and have to be setup for my needs.

Visitor can and have to be allowed to save the displayed image. But on a list of images, some are private, some public and the names are mostly sequential, so one can change the name on the public URL window and dl the private ones. for example public: image_100023.jpg private image_100027.jpg it's pretty easy to try 23, 24, 25, 26 and find 27 (I already did this myself on some circomstances :-) I added on my generation script this: (for I loop) ran="-$RANDOM-" ; rename "." "$ran." $I ; like this the image names become image_100023-1589-.jpg image_100027-5376-.jpg like this I still can identify the image, but the full name is much more difficult to guess I know it's not impossible to crack, given enough time, but will the robots make such attempts?? I can randomize twice, but is this necessary (it takes time)? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSuSE Kernel Change that effects Wireless Install ??? (Atheros AR242x will not work)
by David C. Rankin 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

Guys, I need a miracle! I have probably installed the madwifi driver at least 10 time on my laptop on SuSE 10.2 through 11.2, but after a new 11.0 install, I am unable to find a madwifi driver that will install and "stay" installed. The funny thing is that the madwifi driver has no problems on the same box when installed on Arch Linux. Even more perplexing, I still have the 11.0 rpms that 'I WAS USING ON THIS BOX' that no longer no longer work, so I know the difficulty is something openSuSE specific with the latest kernel or two. I say that, because the existing drivers I have -- have always worked when I installed them with the original kernel and then updated through each successive kernel. Now, jumping from 2.6.25.5-1.1 to 2.6.25.20-0.5 in one step has left 11.0 in a condition where it will not load the driver properly. I have built and installed from the driver for the following sources all of which worked on this box in the past: madwifi-0.9.4-1.src.rpm # The standard 0.9.4-1 driver madwifi-0.9.4-1-current.src.rpm # The standard 0.9.4-1 driver with the madwifi-project suggested snapshot for 2.6.25+ kernels. madwifi-svn-122109 # this module worked briefly (limited to 1M/s), but then died and despite a number of reinstalls will not configure properly. madwifi-ng_r3366+ar5007-1.4.src.rpm # always worked in the past madwifi-ng_r3366+ar5007-1.9.src.rpm # always worked... madwifi-r3725+AR5007EG-2.2.src.rpm # what I was running on before the 11.2 install madwifi-trunk+r3717-1.2.src.rpm # worked in the past... and I have one or two more around... I even got to the point I was making sure the kernel was 'properly prepared' and that 'all' remnants of the prior installs were removed from the module tree and unloaded by reboot. I would: make mrproper make cloneconfig make modules_prepare make clean in between the package installs. Two notes of interest. (1) the packages are never consistent between where they put the modules in the module tree under /lib/modules/2.6.25.20-0.5-default/.. Sometimes the modules go under ../net, sometimes under ../updates, sometimes under ../weak-updates, but until now it always worked. Second, under openSuSE, I have always had to use the 'ath_pci' module. No matter what, the ath5k driver has never worked -- period. That always seemed strange. Well I confirmed it was strange, because when I checked the module used by Arch Linux on this box, low-and-behold, it was using ath5k??? How does that happen? The errors are pretty much of the same flavor. After the driver is loaded, it complains that the chip doesn't respond: Dec 22 15:00:11 alchemy kernel: PCI: Enabling device 0000:17:00.0 (0000 -> 0002) Dec 22 15:00:11 alchemy kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:17:00.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 Dec 22 15:00:11 alchemy kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:17:00.0 to 64 Dec 22 15:00:11 alchemy kernel: MadWifi: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware didn't respond as expected' (HAL status 3) Dec 22 15:00:11 alchemy kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:17:00.0 disabled Dec 22 15:02:18 alchemy kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:17:00.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 Dec 22 15:02:18 alchemy kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:17:00.0 to 64 Dec 22 15:02:18 alchemy kernel: ath5k_pci 0000:17:00.0: registered as 'phy1' Dec 22 15:02:19 alchemy kernel: ath5k phy1: failed to wakeup the MAC Chip Dec 22 15:02:19 alchemy kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:17:00.0 disabled Dec 22 15:02:19 alchemy kernel: ath5k_pci: probe of 0000:17:00.0 failed with error -5 dmesg: ath5k_pci 0000:17:00.0: registered as 'phy0' ath5k phy0: failed to resume the MAC Chip ath5k_pci: probe of 0000:17:00.0 failed with error -5 ath_hal: 0.9.18.0 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413) wlan: 0.9.4 ath_pci: 0.9.4 eth0: RTL8101e at 0xffffc2000065a000, 00:1b:38:af:36:b8, XID 34200000 IRQ 4348 Basically, I'm f'ing stumped... I don't see any logical reason why what has always worked on this box now refuses to work. I have probably uninstalled, confirmed the uninstall was complete, built, rebuilt, reinstalled until I'm blue in the face. My shortcoming here is that I know not what suse is doing with the module tree and how it is assigning modules/devices. From what I can tell the modules.alias handling of ath5k versus ath_pci may be an issue. In the past, I have always just blacklisted ath5k in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist to prevent it from loading, but that doesn't work any more. I have attempted to insure that ath_pci is loaded before ath5k with MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT`as shown in http://en.opensuse.org/Kernel_module_configuration. Still doesn't help. I need the collective wisdom of the brain-trust to point out where I'm doing the stupid thing that I'm apparently doing repeatedly... (at least I'm consistent) What else would make sense to try or check here? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Right (safe!) way to grow a VolumeGroup AND its parent partition?
by Ben DJ 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

Hi, I've successfully resized (grow & decrease) LVMs within a given Volume Group numerous times. Now I'd like to resize a Volume Group AND its parent partition, and am unclear as to the right/safe method. I have: /dev/sda 500 GB "/boot" /dev/sda1 200 MB LinuxNative, Ext4 (unallocated space) 100 GB /dev/sda3 200 GB LinuxLVM VG0 200 GB "/" (root) LV_A 50 GB Ext4 "/home" LV_B 100 GB Ext4 I'd like to (1) grow /dev/sda3 at the "front end" to use up the available 100 GB (2) grow the VG0 to use 100% of the now-larger /dev/sda3 Since "/" is ON the target partition, I've tried booting from the Opensuse 11.2 Live KDE CD and using its Partition Manager, but it tells me that /dev/sda4 is "in use", and unavailable for edit/resize. Before I go trying more brute-force methods, and subsequently losing my data, I thought I'd ask -- what's the RIGHT way to get this expansion done?

[opensuse] ssh through vpn in openSUSE 11.1

I would like to use ssh through vpn in openSUSE 11.1 I have installed cisco vpnclient "vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.02.0030-k9" with no errors.

The program hangs at this point. But ssh works if vpnclient is not running. 1. How can I trace if vpnclient or ssh causes the problem? 2. How can I fix this? I can use ssh/vpnclinet combination in openSUSE 10.3, so the issue is not network related.

[opensuse] headset and loudspeakers at the same time

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] 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."

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.

[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

[opensuse] Installation of wireless driver in notebook
by Stan Goodman 24 Dec '09

24 Dec '09

Until now, I have been using my notebook machine with a wired connection to a router. Today I tried to use its wireless controller (Intel 5300), but failed. The controller is recognized by openSuSE, and I was able to configure it (I don't swear that I configured it correctly). Since it was seen without any action from me, apparently its driver is also in the kernel. But I was surprised that I didn't have to apply the firmware to it; I don't see how YaST could have managed that; perhaps that's why I have not been able to reach the network through this interface. The configuration screen contained many more options than what I see in the Network Services screens, and I don't know how to find those configuration screens so I could post here what I did at that stage, the details of which I do not remember entirely.

[opensuse] "loose"
by Doug McGarrett 24 Dec '09

24 Dec '09

Hello all-- This is intended to be a tutorial, not a spanking. Many folks have spelling troubles, especially foreigners. There are two words in the English language that are similar in spelling, but different in meaning. Many writers to the 'net seem to have a problem with these words. (Not just here!) "Loose" means not tied up, like a woman's hair without a ribbon, or a dog without a chain, or a horse in a paddock. The "s" is sibilant, like "ss." "Lose" means to not have anymore, due to some accident. You could lose your keys, your change, or, for a computer glitch, your code. In this case, the "s" is pronounced like a "z." The vowel(s) must be pronounced like a long double-o sound, in either case. Hope this helps. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] zypper ps The following running processes use deleted files:
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 23 Dec '09

23 Dec '09

After my last zypper update I got the message that several running processes were using deleted files. Among others skype, xawtv and others used by me as user. I have always wondered if it would not make sense to stop using all programs before updating with e.g. Yast but never saw anything in this direction. Now it seems reality that active programs are running with deleted files. Did Yast have an own solution or is it zypper specific? Could one see the same info with Yast and which Yast specific command should be used? After leaving KDE with Ctrl Alt Backspace and logging in again I ran zypper ps again and found that all programs used by user were okay again but three PID belonging to root were still there. before I start killing PID from files who are anyhow deleted I would like to know what would be the recommended way to solve the case of deleted files. zypper ps The following running processes use deleted files: PID | PPID | UID | Login | Command | Service | Files ------+------+-----+-------+---------+---------+--------------------------- 1090 1 0 root kdm /usr/bin/kdm (deleted) /usr/bin/kdm (deleted) 3240 1 0 root polkitd /usr/share/mime/mime.cache | /usr/share/mime/mime.cache 30823 1090 0 root kdm /usr/bin/kdm (deleted) /usr/bin/kdm (deleted) You may wish to restart these processes.

[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.

[opensuse] extra keys (XF86*)
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

Hi, I finally came around to finish my openSUSE 11.2 installation on my main machine which has a Fujitsu-Siemens keyboard connected which has a few extra keys. These were completely working just out of the box with openSUSE 11.1. Now with openSUSE 11.2 some are not working anymore. I actually only use XF86WWW and XF86Mail. Both are displayed like this with xev: KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001, root 0x1a7, subw 0x0, time 49101139, (52,146), root:(1309,612), state 0x10, keycode 158 (keysym 0x1008ff2e, XF86WWW), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001, root 0x1a7, subw 0x0, time 49122308, (5,67), root:(1262,533), state 0x10, keycode 223 (keysym 0x1008ff19, XF86Mail), same_screen YES, XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 163 XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False Now XF86WWW can be assigned in my window manager and works correctly. For XF86Mail it doesn't work. Basically the only difference I can see is that extra output: "XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 163" Is my issue related to that? Or any other idea how to fix it?

And yes, I appreciate it that some posters don't read the manual, but that isn't the point. At the very least, we need to describe the actions in much clearer terms than the example above. Telling me to go to YAST/Hardware/Printer and that I can set up shared printing there is ever so much more helpful.

[opensuse] How to set up CUPS for shared printer?
by Robert Smits 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

I have a number of computers on an NFS network at home. Most are running OpenSuse 11.0, several use Open Suse 11.2 Two of the these machines have no printer of their own, my laptop and one of my desktops. I'd like to configure CUPS to share the two printers on my old desktop - an HP-1220c large format printer and a Brother HL-5140 with those on the network. Unfortunately, when I try to understand how this works, all the documentation I find assumes I'm doing this with config files that I have to manually edit. Nothing seems to refer to the CUPS server I connect to at http://localhost:631. And when I try to look up some of the files they don't even exist on my machine. Is there a straigtforward guide to setting up CUPS in an opensuse 11.0 environment that I can follow? Recommendations would be appreciated. The CUPS version on my old desktop is 1.37. -- Bob Smits bob(a)rsmits.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Migrating to KDE4

How would be the best route (I mean painless) to migrate all my KDE3 appliacation data without screwing the new KDE4 installation?.

[opensuse] Fighting Thunderbird
by JC Francois 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

Hi, For a while now I have been under a tremendous pressure from my system (OS11.2 x64) to upgrade to Thunderbird 3.0. However I do not want to upgrade before Lightning and Provider for Google Calendar add-ons are available as I absolutely need them. As a matter of fact YaST2 managed to install it twice against my will during "All Packages > Update if Newer Version is Available". The list of packages was very long and I did not notice Thunderbird 3 hidden in there. And now I see that the Updater Applet is pushing TB3.0 as a patch. Here's what I tried to resist the onslaught: * Added TB to the lock list in Zypper. That seems to work as expected. However I do not use Zypper to maintain my system but YaST2. * In YaST2 I tried adding the Mozilla:Legacy repo with the highest priority and switched TB to the version of this repo (2.0.0.23.1-3). That works in the sense that YaST2 does not propose upgrades of TB anymore but unfortunately that works just as well with Firefox for which I DO want updates to the latest version * In YaST2 I tried to set TB to "protected" (the little lock icon). Doing this prevents TB from being updated but only for the current YaST2 session. If I close and restart, the "protected" status is gone. So I guess I have 2 questions: 1. When can we expect x64 versions of the Lightning and Provider for Google Calendar add-ons compatible with TB3? I checked the nightly builds and they do not provide an x64 version. 2. What is the best strategy to prevent a package from being upgraded with YaST2?

[opensuse] FreeNX and public key authentication, problems logging in
by Joop Beris 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

Hello listmates, I have run into a problem using FreeNX in combination with public key authentication. I have Googled myself silly, but I can't find the exact answer to my problem. I am hoping that someone here will know the answer. First, let me tell you what I am trying to accomplish: - I don't want my ssh server exposed to the Internet with password logins enabled. I only want public key authentication. - I want to have access to NX server from anywhere in the world. - I want NX to use a custom keypair, not the default supplied by FreeNX. My environment: openSUSE 11.2 (client and server) KDE 4.3.4 (client and server) FreeNX-0.7.2-26.5.i586 (client) openssh-5.2p1-9.1.i586 (client and server) NX Client for Linux 3.4.0-5 from NoMachine (client) qtNX Client qtnx-0.0.1SVNr281-215.1.i586 (client) The problem persists, whether I am connected to the same network or to another network. Since ssh logins work, I don't think a firewall is the culprit. What do I have working so far: - The ssh server on the remote host only accepts public key authentication and I can login from the client without problems. So far so good. - FreeNX is installed on the remote host, using a custom keypair. Authentication with this key works. I can login from the client with the nx user and the public key. $ ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa.key nx@remote HELLO NXSERVER - Version 2.1.0-72 OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0) NX> 105 So far so good. This proves that public key authentication for the user nx is correct. Because FreeNX doesn't support logging in to the ssh daemon using public key authentication, only user/password combinations, I can't use the default ssh login that FreeNX has configured out of the box on openSUSE. To get around that, I have set up FreeNX to use its own passdb backend. In order to do that, I edited the file /etc/nxserver/node.conf and set the following: ENABLE_PASSDB_AUTHENTICATION="1" ENABLE_SSH_AUTHENTICATION="0" I then created a user account for myself in the following way: # /usr/bin/nxserver --adduser <username> # /usr/bin/nxserver --passwd <username> I add the public key in the configuration dialog of the NoMachine client and try to connect, however this does not work. Here's what happens when I use the NoMachine client to log in: I get a dialog that says: "The NX service is not available or the NX access was disabled on host remote." Clicking "Detail", the following text is displayed (anonymized): NX> 203 NXSSH running with pid: 26275 NX> 285 Enabling check on switch command NX> 285 Enabling skip of SSH config files NX> 285 Setting the preferred NX options NX> 200 Connected to address: XXX.XXX.212.221 on port: 22 NX> 202 Authenticating user: nx NX> 208 Using auth method: publickey HELLO NXSERVER - Version 2.1.0-72 OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0) NX> 105 hello NXCLIENT - Version 2.1.0 NX> 134 Accepted protocol: 2.1.0 NX> 105 SET SHELL_MODE SHELL NX> 105 SET AUTH_MODE PASSWORD NX> 105 login NX> 101 User: <username> NX> 102 Password: NX> 103 Welcome to: deepthought user: <username> NX> 105 listsession --user="<username>" --status="suspended,running" --geometry="1280x800x24+render" --type="unix-kde" NX> 127 Sessions list of user '<username>' for reconnect: Display Type Session ID Options Depth Screen Status Session Name ------- ---------------- -------------------------------- -------- ----- -------------- ----------- ------------------------------ NX> 148 Server capacity: not reached for user: <username> NX> 105 startsession --link="adsl" --backingstore="1" --encryption="1" --cache="16M" --images="64M" --shmem="1" --shpix="1" --strict="0" --composite="1" --media="0" --session="Test" --type="unix-kde" --geometry="1024x768+128+0" --client="linux" --keyboard="pc102/us" --screeninfo="1024x768x24+render" Permission denied (publickey). NX> 280 Exiting on signal: 15 I read this as that the initial connection of the user nx to the host remote is made, using public key authentication. Then, my username and password are passed to the FreeNX service and I get logged in using username/password. I thought this would complete the login and should set up a desktop. Apparently though, there is some kind of third login process which uses public key authentication and this gets refused...? I tried the same login with the qtNX client, but this complains about a missing shared library when I try to connect: /usr/NX/bin/nxssh: error while loading shared libraries: libXcomp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I am unable to find out what would provide that shared library though: $ rpm -q --whatprovides libXcomp.so.3 no package provides libXcomp.so.3 Like I said, I have Googled this error extensively, but I haven't found this exact situation anywhere. I'm stumped now and don't know what to try next. Does anyone here have an idea? Thanks in advance!

[opensuse] Another effort to give KDE4 a chance
by Stan Goodman 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

Lest anyone feel that my feeling about KDE4 reflects just a reluctance to march off into the future (which I expect to do anyway in the not to distant future), I am trying now to make another effort. I think I have mastered some of the (mostly unnecessary) changes in the way one must work. (In the future, people must not be allowed to become accustomed to anything. "Change" is the watchword.) One that has me stumped me is how to change the background (wallpaper) on the desktop. preferably separately for each of the multiple desktops. In KDE3, or course, one opened Configure Desktop > Appearance > Background, and from there all was straightforward. Not in KDE4 In KDE4, that sequence seems no longer to exist. One needs instead to click MB2 on any one of the multiple desktops, then on Desktop Setting, which brings up a window called Appearance. [One can also get to Appearance through Configure Desktops, but it is definitely not the same window. Cuidado!] In the window you have reached from clicking on the desktop, there are thumbnails for a few available images, most of which are in 4x3 format. Unfortunately, laptops are now made with 13x9 formats, so very few of the thumbnails attract me. But there IS a button on the window labeled Get New Wallpapers. This leads to another window, also with some thumbnails, but I was not able to find any way to point to a directory in which I have placed 1366x768 images that I wish to use. Leaving aside the vexed question of why the new process is in any way superior or more confenient than the former one, I would be grateful for any advice about how to introduce new images into the desktop.

[opensuse] g++ compile question on openSUSE 11.2
by Roger Oberholtzer 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

I am trying to compile another company's proprietary library, and I have run in to something beyond my experience. The library is written in C++, and I am a C programmer. Anyway, all compiles and links ok, except that the following remains: undefined symbol: __dso_handle I have searched, and it seems this is often attributed to number of factors, including (1) an error in the system libraries, or (2) an incorrect mix of libraries when linking. I have no idea which is my problem. But item 1 indicates that I should check the system setup. So, I am. I see that SUSE's Andreas Jaeger has been part of the discussions way back. Otherwise, I have not noted any recent SUSE-specific references to this topic. A search on bugzilla and SUSE forums returned 0 references. Anyone have this issue on openSUSE 11.2? Or anyone have any idea where one would start to look? I tried removing all the libraries I link with, but the reference remained (ldd -r on the .so). Not sure what that means. I also tried making an app with the library, just in case it is something that gets pulled in when an executable is made. No joy there. Perhaps I missed the library where this is defined? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] Audio Volume Low
by Mark Misulich 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

Hi, I have been trying to get my skype to work with pulseaudio on this Toshiba U505 laptop that I am using, and followed the suggestions for doing so in the opensuse skype howto. It was without success, so I got rid of pulseaudio and went back to alsa, and now skype works. I configured the sound card and set the card output volume to 100% via yast. The sound card is a 828011(ICH9 Family) Audio Controller and uses the HDA Intel driver. I have kmix set to the highest volumes available. The problem is that when I try to play a dvd in Mplayer or Kaffeine, the volume is pretty low. I played around with settings in Kaffeine, and got it to a reasonable volume, but it is still a little lower than I would like it to be. I can't get the volume to raise to a comfortable listening level with Mplayer. I tried to use alsamixer to raise volume, and that had no effect either. This isn't specifically an Alsa problem, the volume was low with pulseaudio as well when I tried to play dvd's or listen to some podcasts on the internet. Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong and how I can get the volume higher on the audio output?

[opensuse] What are the correct repos for kde43 on 11.0?
by David C. Rankin 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Listmates, Anders clued me into the fact that factory is/will be holding kde4.4 beta packages and not to mix kde4.3 & 4.4 packages (makes sense). However that begs the question, Which repos are the correct repos to make sure you have the latest 4.3?? The problem is that: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/43/openSUSE_11.0/ does have the kde4.3 base, but many of the additional packages for the install were pulled from factory/kde4-community, factory/kde4-backports, and factory/kde4-playground. What repo do the 4.3 equivalents for these packages reside in? Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Suggested Video Cards?
by Andrew Joakimsen 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Can someone recommend what is a good video card to use for openSUSE? I know ATI after a while drops support for cards in their drivers so that is out of the question. What about Nvida? I was looking at GeForce 9500 GT based cards because they are reasonably priced but should I expect decent driver support in Linux for a reasonable amount of time? The card will not be used for playing games but it should support the vendor's drivers, let 3d acceleration work in Linux and work well with Compiz (or whatever the desktop effects are now called.) -- Med Vennlig Hilsen, A.

[opensuse] amarok plasmoids do not refresh
by Teruel de Campo MD 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Problem: The plasmoid can read the station, tune and artist when it is loaded, but when a new tunes comes it does not refresh and keeps the old info.If I stop and play on the plasmoid the new tune is loaded. The plasmoids I use are PlayWolf and NowPlaying. Both offers the same behavior. Now if I hover on the amarok object located on the system tray it shows the correct information. The same updated information is shown on the pop-up window when a new tune is playing. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Very strange boot roblem
by Bob S 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Hello SuSE people, I installed 11.2 a couple of weeks ago and have been playing with it on and off. Booted and ran just fine. At the present I have 3 other OS's installed. (10.2, 11.0, and winders) (11.0 is my everyday user system) Last thursday I had a catastrophic failure of my MB. I replaced the MB and processor and got up running again. Except that 11.2 won't boot now. It starts with grub and gets about half way through the boot process and fails with the message "Cannot locate /dev/disk/by-label/11.2". Then it offers to look for the /dev/disk/by-id (which it identifies correctly) and I answer yes. Then it grinds away for awhile generating several lines of dots, and then tries to dump me into a shell and also fails with a kernel panic. That is the very disk it is actually booting from???? and it can't find it?? To be fair, the grub that it is using is on 11.0 There are no logs generated. And maybe I don't understand the boot process well enought. Does the process run for a long time before it gets around to loading the software? When the failure occurred it was at turning the machine on. What could have happened to cause this and how do I fix it? Some clues, ideas please?

[opensuse] opensuse 11.2 in a USB stick how?
by Teruel de Campo MD 20 Dec '09

20 Dec '09

http://en.opensuse.org/Live_USB_stick Q: how the OS knows that it has to use the 2nd partition to store (make permanent or stick) the changes I made? I dd the live cd into the usb stick. Then I create the second partition. Everything is working great. When you use a live CD of course any changes you make are only store for the session, after you reboot everything is lost. After I dd the live cd to the usb stick and IPL from there it behave the same as the CD: changes were only for the session. Then I created the space and added a second partition. Now every change I made, is permanent and stays after reboot. The question is how? What the second partition holds and how it gets there? Where is the script for that is there is such a thing? -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Then I found in google, that "nopat" option added to kernel boot line might help. And it helped, X starts fine. What this option does? And why was necessary to add it to kernel line?

i have 32-bit oS 11.2 KDE 4.3.1 installed on a machine that can do 64-bit, and the performance is less than stellar i installed by downloading the 32-bit iso, burned it to DVD, and used it to boot/install (upgrading a 10.3 suse) i want to try with a 64-bit kernel, and with the newer KDE 4.3.4 now in STABLE, but i'm not sure how to get there from here when you download and burn the DVD from oS you get to choose between 32 and 64-bit, but looking at the repos i don't see a way to choose i had thought i could use zypper to remove repos, and add 64-bit repos, and perform a zypper dup to upgrade to 64-bit, but the repo URIs have no indication for architecture can i do this with zypper or do i have to upgrade using the 64- bit DVD? any help will be appreciated sc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

It was complete with scripts, software and stuff. The pages themselves sported web cam coverage of the club 24/7, descriptions of the various permits needed to run a club, play music late hours, and serving alcohol.

After reboot, no change. I made sure that the wireless care is turned on by the Bios. This is a dual boot with Windows 7, and the card works in windows. What should I try next?

[opensuse] KDE 4.3.4 login manager forgets settings after update?
by Mark Goldstein 19 Dec '09

Hello List, I'm usually setting login screen to display some nice image and clock and it worked OK in KDE3. Now I have 11.2 (x86) + KDE4.3.4. I disable theme greater, select "Show clock" in Dialog tab and enable background image and select some photo. I noticed that after KDE updates (KDE:/43 repository), login screen returns to default image and logo and when I go to login manager configuration again, I see "Show logo" and default background image selected. Not sure yet whether it happens after every update, probably not. But at least I've seen it 2-3 times. I searched novell bugzilla and KDE one, but have not seen such reports. Is there anybody on the list using this non-default login screen? Does it work for you?

[opensuse] NFS server exports fail ("does not support NFS export" ??) immediately after reboot; OK after running 'exportfs -r' twice. Help?
by Ben DJ 19 Dec '09

I've installed nfs-kernel-server nfs-kernel-server-1.1.3-21.1.x86_64 on 11.2.

[opensuse] e16 ~/.e16/bindings.cfg - a few good keybindings
by David C. Rankin 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

Guys, For those working with enlightenment e16, a few keybindings can really help. I've posted a few for iconfying windows, etc. before, but I've come up with a few more that are useful to me so I thought I would pass them along. First, basics, your keybindings are generally controlled by the system-wide file /usr/share/e16/config/bindings.cfg. To set up custom keybindings, simply copy the system-wide file to your ~/.e16 directory for modification. You can edit it by hand if you want to google while you work to figure out what it available, or simply install e16keyedit which will make like much easier. Just run it and it will pick up your ~/.e16/bindings.cfg by default. It's straight forward, the only thing I do is just remember to hit 'save' in between each key addition or key assignment. The keybinding I have set just give me a run dialog, the kwrite & kate editors, and firefox and thunderbird. You can configure anything you like. The basic form of the keybinding entry for running a program in e16 is: KeyDown <SCA> <key> exec program # where: <SCA> are the modifier keys Shift, Control or Alt; <key> is just the key you want to assign the program to; and program is just the executable name for the program you want to run ** You don't have to background the process (no &), it's done for you Here are the examples of the binding I set: KeyDown A semicolon exec bbrun -w -a KeyDown A backslash exec restart KeyDown A slash wop * shade KeyDown - Print exec ksnapshot KeyDown A Print exec ksnapshot --current KeyDown A Escape exec bbrun -w -a KeyDown A k exec kwrite KeyDown SA k exec kate KeyDown SA f exec firefox KeyDown SA t exec thunderbird ( I prefer 'bbrun' over 'fbrun' for the run dialog. I thought krunner would be overkill.) Note: if you do use bbrun, you MUST use the -w, --withdraw option. This causes bbrun to go straight to the command entry dialog. Otherwise you will have what looks like the systray wrapper window left on the screen after you execute a command and a good chance on locking up your desktop. (ctrl+f1; 'killall bbrun' will fix it if you happen to miss this first). Also, when selecting keys, make sure you choose keys that will not conflict with existing menu shortcuts, etc... p.s. - I know I have two bbrun commands defined above. I use the one with the ';', but included the Alt+Escape because that is the way it is set in E17. Have fun ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] KMail, automatic view of jpg attachments
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

At least since 11.1 email with jpg attachments were automatically shown under the mail. This was highly appreciated especially by my wife when she receives attached photo's from the family at times that I am not at home. She could have a look at the pictures without opening them in a picture viewer. In 11.2 I am still looking into the Settings/Configure KMail to get the pictures shown. Must have missed the settings because for the moment I only get a small pic with a balloon and the jpg file-name which I can of course click, in order to look at the pictures.

[opensuse] Changing the resolution of TV connected to HDMI
by Adam Jimerson 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

I am trying to configure a openSUSE 11.2 box as a HTPC, it has a ATI Radeon HD 3200 card in it. The only kind of display connected to it is my TV, connected through HDMI port, when I use the radeonhd driver then 800x600 and 1280x720 result in the same resolution which is to big for my TV so I end up with things off screen. When I use the fglrx driver then it configures my TV for 1920x540 which my TV can not do, it can only do up to 720p. So right now I am stuck with ether seeing a black screen because my TV can't handle the resoultion it is trying to do or have parts to the desktop/programs/what ever being off screen and the radeonhd drivers seem to be unable to do sound through the HDMI port as well. Anyone know any solutions or workarounds to my problem? -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure." Karl Popper

[opensuse] A "missing directory" required for NIC-driver installation

I now have on my notebook machine an installation of v11.2/KDE4need to install a dri, exactly in the condition in which it was installed from the DVD, but with the kernel source added.

[opensuse] skype aborting opensuse 11.2
by Don Raboud 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Hi everyone, I'm a new, infrequent skype user. I installed it about two weeks ago and it seemed to work OK. I set up an account and tried the test call, etc. Yesterday, when I actually *needed* to use it, it wouldn't work. It would start, but the window would close after less than a second. From the command line, the only message was "Aborted". This happen both on my laptop (i586) and desktop (x86_64). I'm not sure what has changed in the last week or two to cause this. I haven't touched skype or its settings in that time. rpm -q skype skype-2.1.0.47-suse111.i586 which is the latest version available. I've searched on the web, but found no real hints, other than to try export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 which didn't help. I've tried removing the ~/.skype, but that did not help either. Anybody else seeing this or have any ideas? -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Firefox Themes Will Not Install / Disabled - Unsecure Extenstion Updates
by David C. Rankin 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Guys, After the latest firefox updates, most of my themes were disabled and new themes would not install. After the automatic update check tried to install the Foxide Graphite theme, I found out why. During the install, I received a messages telling me that firefox would not install the theme because it did not provide a secure update path. Digging a little bit disclosed the following: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions_-_Firefox Unsecured updating Firefox 3 and above: Starting in Firefox 3, if an add-on does not provide a secure method of auto-updating then, by default, Firefox will refuse to install the add-on. If you have add-ons already installed that are insecure in this way, they will be automatically disabled. [6] Add-ons from AMO (https://addons.mozilla.org/) and other secured sites are not a problem; for add-ons that do provide a secure updating method, advanced users can add the preference extensions.checkUpdateSecurity (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkUpdateSecurity) and set it to false (not recommended). See this article: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Extension_Versioning%2C_Update_and_Com… and bug 378216 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378216) for more information. For testing purposes only, I added extensions.checkUpdateSecurity (booleen = false) to about:config and magically, all of my themes were working again. (Note: this is not advisable due to security concerns, use with discretion) (ps - I know this is a cross post ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hi, My mail-address at work is bombarded with replies on mails I never sent. I tried to analyse this, but the original sender is not the same, so it's kind of a DDOS. Any suggestions what to do ? I could remove that email-address, but that's not a real solution. I think there is nothing I can do, is it ? I thought I could avoid this in the future with DKIM, but that won't work, is it ? Since there is no signature, it can't be verified. Or do configured mailservers check nevertheless ?

[opensuse] REPOST: Most interesting...and possibly disturbing about Flash (and Firefox)?
by Basil Chupin 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Seeing as how a message I posted on 22 November has had no responses I thought I would post it again in to see if this time there may be someone who could comment on its contents. I've been using Firefox for some years. In recent years , when they became available, I've been using a variety of Extensions as 'security measures' - for example NoScript, AdBlock, etc. Recently there was a question raised by (?)..... concerning Adobe's Flash - and a, brief, discussion on the security problem posed by Flash ensued; this flowed on to the general question of how secure Linux/Linux distros was/were when it was mentioned that permissions could be altered by applications even within a normal user's home directory. However, this matter was not really properly answered, and not pursued further. Just a few minutes ago I was using Firefox and went to one (of many such sites) for which I have NoScript disallow javascript but, after deliberately allowing javascript for the site and its associated sites (eg, YouTube also wants you to allow javascript for ytimg.com) I can carry on and view any video-related material. OK, with YouTube, as one example, after I get to the point of clicking on the ">" to play the video, I usually also get another request from NoScript to allow "something" to be able to continue to view the video. In the past I automatically, and in an irritated state, clicked, "YES", to simply get on and view the video. But just now I had a closer look at what I had previously been simply accepting without paying any attention to it. What the last "warning" which NoScript was asking me to allow was, "Allow about:blank" - which I was always in the past auto. accepted. I know what "about:plugins" and "about:config" show when I type these in the URL window in Firefox. But "about:blank"? This time I typed in "about:blank" in the URL windows.....and got, "Search Bookmarks and History". Now, as everyone who knows me, I am not a paranoid person ("In a pig's bum I'm not!") so what is this all about?

[opensuse] iptables MASQUERADE problems with oss 11.2
by Moby 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

The setup involved in this issue was working perfectly fine with oss 10.X and 11.1. The problem arose after an in-place upgrade to oss 11.2. Basically the machine (call it machine A with internal IP address 192.168.10.10) is configured to do masquerade via iptables (with a custom script). The relevant line is: $IPTABLES -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m iprange --src-range 192.168.10.50-192.168.10.200 -j MARK --set-mark 2 $IPTABLES -t mangle -A FORWARD -m iprange --src-range 192.168.10.50-192.168.10.200 -j MARK --set-mark 2 $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -m mark --mark 2 -o comcast1 -j MASQUERADE Once this is in place, initiating (for example) ping www.yahoo.com from a machine with ip address 192.168.10.52 shows that traffic is making it's way to machine A on A's internal interface, then the traffic is getting "masqueraded" (packets source ip gets changed to the valid public address of machine A) and sent out the interface called comcast1, reply comes back from www.yahoo.com and enters machine A properly on interface comcast1 and that's it ... the packet never gets mapped back to the inside host that sent it. I see this sequence of events in a packet capture btw (Wireshark with capture on pseudo-interface to capture all interfaces). This exact same script worked fine with oss11.1 and earlier versions - is anyone here aware of any changes in oss11.2 that could prevent something like this from working?

[opensuse] OOo: help

I'm trying to use Open Office on Windows 7. I assume it works the same way on Linux. How do I make it use curly apostrophes and curly quotes, like I used to be able to do in WordPerfect? I am writing and editing material for a newsletter, and I need the capability. I know that M/S Word can be made to do this, but I don't know how, since I have never used it. Yes, Linux will be back in my pocket soon. I really dislike Win 7. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] gmonstart / jvregisterclasses in tons of binaries with commands,malware?
by whereislibertyandjustice＠Safe-mail.net 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

In linux binaries, in any linux distro, I've discovered the same strings which I believe may be due to a virus or trojan. Yet, clamav, rkhunter, chkrootkit do not detect abnormalities. Whether I run 'strings' on the binary files or view with vim or gedit, here is what is always seen inside the binaries: __gmon_start__ _Jv_RegisterClasses Followed by commands which differ within each binary. If, by some luck, I've downloaded a fresh Linux ISO where binaries do not include the above two strings followed by commands, after I run an update the updated binaries suddenly contain the above two strings and other, what I believe to be, rogue strings. I've avoided the possible infection with an OpenBSD install, yet all the Linux installations and burned ISOs contain binaries with the above two strings followed by commands. Search using find within your bin and sbin directories for those two strings and see how many positives you find. Now use a text editor like vi or gedit and search through the gibberish, locate these strings and isolate the commands, if any, which follow them. Searching for gmonstart, gmon, registerclasses, jv, etc. variations of works. If you find results in your binaries, please copy/paste the commands following the gmonstart and jvregisterclasses strings so I may compare them to mine. I've purchased Linux CDs from brick + mortar stores, downloaded ISOs from different physical locations and found some CDs contained these strings in the binaries and one or two rare ones did not, but when installed/updated on a network connection the binaries replaced in the update process would show these strings!! These strings are not alone by themselves in the binaries they follow with commands with a @ mark before each command. Google results are vague, some suggest shell backdoors, every Linux user I've asked to date calls me paranoid while at the same time this knowledge comes as a surprise to them, too, when they search their binaries and find the same strings. I'm amazed by how quickly some rush to judgement and call you a paranoid for being curious about the files on your system. The strings may/may not be common, but in comparing commands which follow these strings I've noticed some which seem down right malicious! Maybe they're right, I'm just paranoid, but what am I seeing and why are these strings so common across Linux distros binaries, esp. the Jv (java?) reference?

[opensuse] loaded mplayer and the sound is gone
by Ruben Safir 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

I downloaded with zhypper mplayer/ and now the sound is gone. Nothing I've tried, either in yast or alsa seems to get it running. I suspect the issue has to do with the pulse audio. I have a Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) sound card which worked just fine in opensuse 9.2 and works in Memphis. I'm really at a loss here and very fustrated.

[opensuse] USB irda and my dive computer
by Adolph & Sharon Weidanz 16 Dec '09

Hey all... I am trying to get my dives off a UWATEC Aladin Prime. I am running the smarttrak software using wine, and although it has some graphics problems it seems to be running correctly. However it can find the dive computer. I am using a USB Irda dongle that I get the following from dmesg: [ 8588.595384] usb 4-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 [ 8588.774785] usb 4-3: New USB device found, idVendor=9710, idProduct=7780 [ 8588.774799] usb 4-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0 [ 8588.774992] usb 4-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 8588.826635] NET: Registered protocol family 23 [ 8588.847889] usbcore: registered new interface driver mcs7780 [ 9246.620295] IrCOMM protocol (Dag Brattli) I am no sure where to go next. When I tried to set up irda in Yast, all it gave me for choices were /dev/ttyS1 .. 3, which didn't work. So..... Any ideas?

[opensuse] updates failing
by Simon Roberts 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hi all, My system runs: Linux Linux-A105 2.6.25.20-0.5-pae #1 SMP 2009-08-14 01:48:11 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux and something has gotten jammed in the updates and software management system. If I try to run the package manager, I get a complaint that says "Another process is accessing the package database. Package management cannot be used now" This, as you probably guessed, isn't true. My inference is that some lock file didn't get cleaned up a while back and should be manually deleted. Can anyone tell me what and where that lock file might be? Or perhaps what else I should do to release this? I'd like to install some new software, and am currently hamstrung. Cheers, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.
