[opensuse] Changing disk IDs!!
by L. V. Lammert 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

I just upgraded a socket 939 MB to an Athelon 5000 socket AM2 so I can use AMD-V, but, for some strange reason, the HD device IDs seem to have changed (same 250GB SATA HD - the original root partition is not found). The disk shows fine in Repair System Partition Manager, .. and the IDs look similar, but I cannot figure out a way to compare them to the entries in fstab. > When booting the Repair System, all partitions show mounted on / and cannot be unmounted; > When dropping to shell after RS, the partitions are still mounted; > While IN RS, there is no way to launch a terminal session to edit the entries in fstab. I am hesitant to try any of the automatied repair options, .. can anyone suggest a way to both edit the original /etc/fstab entries while seeing the 'new' device IDs in the Partition Manager? Has anyone seen a problem like this? TIA, Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Changing Permissions for User
by Roman 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi all, I created two different users. How is it that I am able to view and copy files using Dolphin from another user directory to my directory? I shouldn't be able to see the other user's directory. I'm using openSUSE 11.1. Cheers!

[opensuse] Book store & bar code software
by James Hatridge 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

Hi all, I'm thinking about setting up an on-line used book store, BUT the thought of type in maybe 1000's of titles etc is too much. SO does anyone know of Linux software for a book store where I can use a barcode scanner to input book titles?

Just got a digital slr. Been looking at photo mags. they describe doing things in Photoshop etc So is there somewhere a guide to reading Photoshop directions and translating them into Gimp directions? Also, what other good programs are there in Linux for photo work and what do you use/recommend? -- Bob Rea mailto:gapetard@stsams.org http://www.petard.us http://www.petard.us/blog http://www.petard.us/gallery Where is Bill Stringfellow now that we really need him? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] X server dies occasionally when USB stick is attached.
by Josef Wolf 01 Mar '09

Hello, Occasionally, I get X server crashes when I plug in an USB memory stick on my opensuse-11.1. I have attached the backtrace I find in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old and excerpts from /var/log/messages. Any ideas how to track that problem down?

[opensuse] 11.1 / KDE4.2 Stable / apparent kwin crashing
by ianseeks 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hi all I'm getting a lot of kwin crashes where the screen goes black but everything is still running - even Alt TAB works by showing the apps running. I am assuming its always kwin but i've only had one "kwin crashed" messaged displayed. The only way out is "Alt - Backspace" twice except for the one time when i got the message where it refreshed itself. Is anyone experiencing this and is there a known solution? regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Gnome-Do plugins missing in action
by Shawn Protsman 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

I've recently updated gnome-do from the repos and now have 0.8.0-2.1. Unfortunately my plugins are no longer working. Any idea on how to get these back? I see that there is no longer a gnome-do-plugins package for 0.8.0x either. --Shawn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[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?
