[opensuse] Mounting a encrypted DM device manually?
by Greg Freemyer 13 Dec '09

13 Dec '09

All, I created an encrypted device via yast. It mounts as /Cases during boot if I enter the password. How do I mount it after bootup if I skip that step? Thanks Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] package rollback in openSUSE
by Istvan Gabor 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

Hello: Is it possible to roll back packages to a previous state in openSUSE (10.3 or 11.2)? What are the necessary steps to prepare the system for rollback capability and what programs can be used? I searched up2date in webpin but could not find. Or is it feasible just using rpm as it mentioned in this article? http://www.linuxjournal.com/print/7034 Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I just notice for an other thread than ls -l /dev/disk/by-* give most of the relevant info... and grub (on the running system), then kernel ( <TAB>: grub> kernel (hd0, Possible partitions are: Partition num: 0, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xc Partition num: 4, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82 Partition num: 5, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 Pa try this on the actuzal system and on the rescue one and you should see what happen 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

At least to me. YMMV. let alone to find them. it's very good for automatic install. But why can't we have some CLI tools? listen. There is bearly all at hand: try: ls -l /dev/disk/by-* gives (my computer, summary) ls -l /dev/disk/by-* | more /dev/disk/by-id: total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 déc. 12 09:33 ata-WDC_WD5000BEVT-00ZAT0_WD-WXNY08N61636 -> ../../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 déc. 12 09:33 ata-WDC_WD5000BEVT-00ZAT0_WD-WXNY08N61636-part1 -> ../../sda1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 d (...) /dev/disk/by-label: total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 déc. 12 09:33 11.1_data -> ../../sda8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 déc. 12 09:33 11.1_home -> ../../sda7 (...) so it's pretty easy to write a script to display on a line id, label and dev. I could probably, but with my (poor) skills, this will take me one day :-( 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 Device Notifier tells me that I have a new CD and allows me to Open with File Manager, but when I attempt to eject the CD I get a message: Cannot eject the disc. One or more files on this disc are open within an application. Unfortunately, I don't have the faintest idea as to which of the 102 processes found by the System Monitor has the files open. I used to be able to eyect the CD. Please advise. Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
