[opensuse] kernel-desktop OR kernel-default?
by Marco Calistri 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hello listmates, Wonder which kernel flavour should I prefer for my AMD Turion 64 laptop. Distribution upgrade from 11.1 to 11.2, resulted into installing kernel-desktop as the default kernel, but I remember that 11.1 was running with kernel-default. So now I am asking which is the best choice for x86_64 laptops? Tks and BR, Marco -- opensuse 11.2 - Linux 2.6.31.5-0.1-default x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology MK-36 - GeForce Go 6150 Gnome 2.28

In KDE3 there was KAudio Creator, great for ripping CDs. What replaces that (or where is it) in KDE4 on oS11.2? Thanks, Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] zypper : Failed to download ./repodata/primary.xml.gz
by Matthias Titeux 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi, The subject almost says it all. I post this message again since the subject may have been too obscure or unappealing since nobody answered. Sorry for the inconvenience if your read it already. Last Saturday I installed Opensuse 11.2 x86_64 on a computer running 10.3 for too long a time ;-) I formated / ext4 and mounted the existing /home ext3. Everything was smooth. No hassle except when I wanted to add the packman repo. Yast show errors while parsing the metadata (stuck trying to download the Primary.xml.gz file). I thought it may be a connection problem, or a sync of the mirror, but - Sunday and today the problem remains - Every other mirrors I have tried gave the same error - I had the same error on other repositories (opensuse-source repo, game repo...). I do not have this probleme with the update, the OSS and the non-OSS repos though. I never encountered such error before, not even on the 2 other 11.2 installation I have done (both i586 btw). Here is the output of a zypper refresh command: ararat:/home/matthias # zypper refresh Le dépôt 'NVIDIA Repository' est à jour. Le dépôt 'openSUSE BuildService - KDE:KDE4:Community' est à jour.

[opensuse] opensuse 11.2 not recognising an encrypted luks partition on external USB drive
by Andrew Colvin 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi all I have installed opensuse 11.2 on one of my laptops (fresh install and not upgrade), however, whenever I plug in an external usb drive which has 3 partitions (part 1 is vfat, 2 is ext3, 3 is luks encrypted ext4) on it there is no recognition of the encrypted partition by the device notifier. When I insert it into my other machines (opensuse 11.0 and 11.1) the device notifier recognises it and I get prompted for the password for the partition. At first I though it may be the predicate for encrypted volume (as it used to be for previous kde4 installs) but that is the same as the setting on my kde 4.3 on opensuse 11.0 and 11.1 installs For info the luks is installed and working as the whole drive is encrypted and I can also do cryptsetup luksOpen and manually mount I then checked the device with hal-device and what I found showed that hal is recognising the partition exists but not that it is encrypted Below is the output from my opensuse 11.0 server which is working ok but on the 11.2 install I get empty strings where ever there should be crypto references eg volume.fsusage = '' (string) [sorry cant give the output in this mail as I left the laptop at work] To make sure this hasnt been caused by incompatible old versions or partitioning I reformatted the drive under 11.2 as well Does anybody know how to resolve this or seen it before.

[opensuse] upgrade to 11.2 -- have graphical boot, but no desktop -- just a web-doc greeting.
by Linda Walsh 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

How can I get a regular desktop to appear? Seems like no desktop manager is starting. All I see besides the web-doc greeting is an xconsole window. I tried changing the window manager but that either didn't start or had same empty desktop. Any hints on how to initialize it? I have similar symptoms trying to start a remoteX desktop, thought I eventually get a timeout there. Not very useful if it boots up in desktop and you can't access anything. :-) linda -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Cleaning house - freeing up disk space
by M. Milanuk 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hello, I'm playing with openSuSE 11.2 as a guest OS on a virtual machine (Virtualbox 3.0.12 on a Windows Vista host) and the default initial drive size was 8GB. I opted during installation for a separate /home, so it has / (4GB), /home (5GB), and swap (1GB). I went with XFCE as the desktop environment to keep the 'weight' down a little, and have installed a few other programs (gnucash, gnumeric, abiword) that probably pulled in a bit more of the Gnome/GTK world than I had intended. Is there an easy way to 'skinny up' this installation? If I go through in YaST and de-select various packages, does the packaging system on SuSE automatically clean-up orphaned packages that are no longer required?

[opensuse] loopback mounted ISO images and nfs
by Roger Oberholtzer 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

I have a number of ISO images that I have mounted via the loop device. They are accessible on the local machine just fine. I would like these images to be accessible via nfs, cifs, etc. Well, I can see the contents in cifs. But not via nfs. I googled a bit, and it seems it should be working. But, alas, it is not. The NFS server with the mounted ISO images is openSUSE 11.1, and the NFS client is openSUSE 11.2. Anyone else doing this sort of thing with success? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
