[opensuse] Fortran-90 and R
by Maura Monville 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

I am looking for a Fortram-90 compiler for Linux/SuSE. Any suggestion is welcome I've got to interface R scrpting language with a Fortran-90 routine. I do not even know how to do that ... because Fortran is a compiled language whereas R is a scripting language ... Therefore I do not know whether a make file is apropriate or even the linker is necessary ... ? Thank you very much.

[opensuse] rpm error: failed to stat [ unrelated smb device]: No such device or address
by David C. Rankin 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Listmates, I have a curious rpm error. It doesn't prevent rpm from working correctly, so why the error?? The error takes the form of: error: failed to stat [smb mount point]: No such device or address 18:25 zephyr:~> sudo rpm -Uvh --oldpackage http://nirvana/tmp/kdiff3-0.9.92-172.1.i586.rpm Retrieving http://nirvana/tmp/kdiff3-0.9.92-172.1.i586.rpm error: failed to stat /mnt/ripper: No such device or address Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:kdiff3 ########################################### [100%] The error occurs when a mounted smb device is unavailable. The question is "Why the error since this rpm transaction did not involve the unavailable device at all?" -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Recent updates trouble - DISASTER
by Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Hi, I have posted a thread regarding problems arised after 11.1 x64 update. I am was able to restore almost everything except sound - it was gone completely. So I have decided to reinstall SuSE 11.1 x64, leaving home partition intact, and formatting root partition for 100% fresh install. Installation process finished succesfully - and BOOM - newly installed system becomes barely bootble - it CANNOT find /home partition. Moreover, parted reports "sector 0 - wrong signature". If I open YaST partitoner - it reports bad partition table, but shows root and swap of correct size. However, /dev/sda2 /home is 1K !!! I am 100% sure I have formatted only /dev/sda1 root and nothing else. Looks like partitioner killed my disk partition table along with home partiton and ALL stuff on it. I have a full backup but it is 2 months old. Tried OpenSuSE disk and "recover lost partiton" tool, it did something for over 2 hours, nothing seem to be happening, and I terminated the process (its on 500GB 7200rpm HD on fast Intel Quad Core PC). HD is very quiet and it is not clear if there any activity. I do not think there are bed sectors, it ususally results in clicks. I have booted from this HD till it prompts for root password. Then went to parted and rescue. I have tried rescue START END (for whatever reason parted print all have not displayed sector numbers, only size in GB). Parted have not shown any prompt to commit changes, seem like it did nothing. May be I should boot from another HD? Probably parted cannot modify HD it is running from ??? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] XMMS as Firefox helper app
by Stan Goodman 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

openSuSE v10.3; Firefox v3.05; XMMS v1.2.11 I would like Firefox to play streamed music through XMMS, and I have set up *.pls for XMMS. Music continues to be played through the MPlayer plugin. I intend to cause other audio streams also to play through XMMS. How can I cause XMMS to be the active helper this stream type, without crippling the existing MPlayer plugin? -- 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] Opensuse 10.3 Xfce repositories parse error
by Gilles Durys 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Hi, this morning I launched Yast Software Management and I got a "parse error" when refreshing repositories. It apparently comes from the Xfec repository (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/xfce/openSUSE_10.3/). Disabling this repository makes the problem go away. Is something wrong on my machine or has the repository a problem? -- Gilles Durys -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] /var/log/zypp-refresh.log Size on 11.0? ( 275 Megabytes -- WTF? )
by David C. Rankin 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Peter, Listmates, My /var/log/zypp-refresh.log had grown alarmingly big: -rw-r----- 1 root root 275072020 2009-03-20 22:51 zypp-refresh.log 275M for a logfile? How can I put this under some kind of logrotate or something to keep the size less than 10M or so? Do I just add it to the existing logrotate or do I just write a script to do it? For the curious, the last 1000 lines of the log file are available at: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/110/zypp-refresh-1000.log… (size: 11k) Is this a bug, feature or result of all the repository failures lately? -- David C.
