[opensuse] Question about the real time kernel
by Sampsa Riikonen 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Dear List, I am using kernel "2.6.25.16-0.1-default" with 64-bit opensuse 11.0 I installed and booted the real time version of the same kernel (from suse repos), but during boot, lots of weird stack traces were rolling on the screen and eventually my system stuck (after saying "starting SSH daemon"), although I was able to boot it again with ctrl-alt-del. Any way to debug this? Cheers, Sampsa -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] keyboard stops working randomly
by Sergey Mkrtchyan 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hello List, On my thinkpad t61 (opensuse 11.1, kde 3.5.10, kernel 2.6.27.19-3.2) keyboard stops working absolutely randomly (or it seems so). All of a sudden none of the keys respond, only the mouse + trackpad/touchpad are responding and I have to restart the laptop to get it back to working. Keyboard model is configured from CC and yast as "IBM thinkpad /.../.../t61/..." and when it happens, changing to other model and back and hitting "Apply" does not help. Problem occurs very regularly which becomes quite annoying. I have no idea how can I even track this down, I tried to catch what am I doing exaclty which causes this but it really seems random. Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas what might e causign the problem?

[opensuse] Can't locate php5-mhash for 11.1 x86_64
by Pete Connolly 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hi All I'm rebuilding a home server with 64bit opensuse 11.1 and I'm having trouble locating a PHP5 module that I need - php5-mhash. I've found a version for 11.0, but this refuses to install with the version of php5 included with 11.1 (5.2.6). Has this module been removed from 11.1?

Ken Schneider - openSUSE a écrit : > This because 11.1 was rushed out the door to meet Christmas sales, in my > opinion. no, this should have been adressed much before > Has 11.2 been released yet in any version? what mean "released"? There are isos : I tried to install with openSUSE-Factory-NET-i586-Build0020-Media.iso but this failed. I reported the fail on an other list and was said "isos are broken" (but with no bug number), so if it's known, why report it again? I think basic problems should be reported on testing list first, not to bother developpers for already know things As far as I know only factory > is available which will become 11.2 at some point. Until an official 11.2 > media has been released my testing is on hold. I funally could do the install: installed 11.1 (minimal), changed reposirories to factory and zypper up. I now run factory in virtualbox and can use it each time my work is enough basic. > And you are addressing it by testing it and reporting the bugs, no. yes, I do. but I often have problems, open a bug report, to see in fact it's not a real bug, so I think it's better not disturb the real devs before being sure of what happen, and asking on testing is probably the better place (opensuse is too general) > I never test new pre-release versions on production systems only in VM's > or hardware not in day to day use.

[opensuse] Login screen shows remains of session
by Joop Beris 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hello listmates, I have a weird problem with the KDE4 login manager. I am using openSUSE 11.1, with KDE 4.2, but the problem also existed on KDE 4.1. I am running the NVIDIA proprietary driver with a Twinview setup (dual monitors) The problem is that the secondary screen shows left-overs or artefacts from the last running session. They also show up briefly on the primary screen after logging in but before the session is fully loaded. I sometimes also see a brief flash of them before the screen saver shows the "unlock" dialog. What are shown are basically snippets of what was shown on screen during the previous session: bits of a web page, a small part of an image file, an icon, parts of a menu, parts of a screen of game that was running under wine. Some of these left-overs repeat, some don't. It's hard to describe, and I don't know how to provide a screenshot of it. This behavior was not present in openSUSE 11.0, with KDE 4.1, and also not in openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4.1. So I am assuming that it has something to do with KDE 4.2. At one point I thought it was due to files in the thumbnail cache (~/.thumbnails). So I cleared the thumbnail cache, but this did not change the problem. Killing the X server at the login screen also doesn't solve the problem. When X restarts, the problem returns. It almost seems as bits of a memory buffer are somehow shown from somewhere, but I have no idea form where. I could not find a bugzilla, but I am not sure I should file one, since I am using the proprietary driver from NVIDIA. (I can test with the open source driver before I do that, obviously) So first I'd like to know if someone has similar experiences, what might be the cause and what might be done. It's not a huge problem for me, since I am pretty much the only one who uses that system. But it might be a problem on a shared computer, since it might show things that the user doesn't want shown... Any ideas, anyone? Regards, Joop -- "When you just want a system that works, you choose Linux; when you want a system that just works, you choose Microsoft."
