[opensuse] 11.2 yast sw management keeps segfaulting when you press "Accept"
by David C. Rankin 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

Dev, guys, Any body else seeing yast software management crash after you have selected packages, are all done, and then you press "Accept"? There is nothing more frustrating than spending 1/2 hour picking through individual packages to get the setup you need -- only to press the final button and receive the dialog: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid YaST got signal 6 at YCP file String.ycp:128 /sbin/yast2: line 454: 12764 Aborted $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS (process:12934): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. I don't have time to bug it right now, but if you want a look at the y2_logs they are here: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/112/y2logs.tgz Also, when I ssh into any box from 11.2, I get: "/usr/bin/manpath: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct" I don't know if this is related, but I don't know how to fix it? -- David C.

[opensuse] Pre-ordering a boxed set
by Mark Hounschell 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

At http://www.open-slx.com/doku.php you supposedly can order a boxed set of 11.2. When you go to preorder it I get This item cannot be shipped to the address you selected. Is this an amazon.co.uk mistake or something more sinister?? Yes my address was entered correctly.

[opensuse] Installing Virtual Box on 11.2
by Basil Chupin 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

I just had a look at the instructions at http://en.opensuse.org/VirtualBox_Installation but they refer to earlier versions of openSUSE. Are the instructions shown at this URL still relevant to 11.2 (and its kernel)? 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of instructions produced by Alexei Eremenko back on 18-05-2007 - and the same question also applies to these: are they out-of-date or still current? Glad to get any advice on this, thanks.

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.2 YaST - Add Software Repository
by ykyuen 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

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?
