[opensuse] "Error in service module" - opensuse 10.3 and 11.1
by Chris Henderson 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

I have got two opensuse 10.3 and 11.1 (x86) servers giving this error. The solution so far has been to rebuild the entire server. And after four times doing this with lots of downtime and headache, I am a little tired. These servers do DNS/ web/ and db and no one makes any system related changes on them. All of a sudden I see that I have lost ssh connection, I then try to log in from the physical location but I can't - I get error: "Error in service module". Upon reboot I can see lots of things come up with "error/ failed" - also noticed /var file system cannot be found type error. Every time I try to log in I get error: "Error in service module" I then boot off a Knoppix Live DVD but sometimes can't mount the file systems on the disk. Sometimes when I can access the disks, I run fsck on them but no error is either reported or fixed. I tried Suse repair system manager - it identifies some error in the file system and boot loader and fixes it - this behavior repeats every time I run it to no avail. The only thing both the servers have in common: they download RPMs from repositories from the Internet; namely from: download.opensuse.org and the packman repository: Index of /pub/packman/suse/10.3 and every time I go to install software in the yast software management section, I can see "Downloading......patch..." not sure what it downloads and whether it installs something and whether it has something to do with this error. Is there a reason why I get this error? Or is there a bug in the kernel or something else? I have already run memtest and couldn't find any error.

by José Thadeu Cavalcante 24 Mar '09

Hi, There are some strange package installation on repositorie KDE4:Community for KDE 4.2.1. I tried to install the package libdbus++-0_6_1-0.6.1-7.1.i586 but a dependency error occurs, libdbus++ = 0.6.1 is needed by libdbus++-0_6_1-0.6.1-7.1.i586 it's appear an autodependency.

Hi there! I have a trust TB 4200 and unfotunately, can't find linux drivers for it. Is that any way of having it's features working on linux? With some kind of generic driver or something else?

The first time it happened, I did try to fix it, spending an hour or so at it. No matter what I reinstalled, I wasn't able to get "X" to start correctly. I finally just reinstalled from DVD and have had to do that every time this foolishness has happened, which is 3 times now over the past couple of months. MOST often, the system has a nVidia video chipset so I think there's a connection there. I've read all of the logs without finding any clue as to what foul play has occurred. To say I've been unhappy about it, is being as kind as I can possibly be. ;) I'd use the GNU driver except it's so bad that I can't tolerate using it.

[opensuse] KDE 4.2.1 hosed
by osskbboykin＠comcast.net 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

Hello, Hope some can help. I was running OSS 11.1 32 bit with KDE 4.1.3 -> 4.2.0 -> 4.2.1. I inadvertantly ran zypper up to try to get libqt4.5 to install a wifi plasmoid. Now I have install kde 4.2.67 and my laptop will only boot into a black screen. Network doesn't work. How, other than reinstalling from DVD and going through upate from KDE 4.1.3 -> 4.2.0 -> 4.2.1, do I get my kde 4.2.1 back and the desktop back? Any help appreciated. --Keith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how to always assign certain specific ip address to connecting pptp client?
by cagsm 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

salam, pptpd (poptop pptp) works fine here. i have a lan, clients connect (win2k, winxp, ...) fine, receive their lan-side ip addresse for the pptp vpn interface. so far so good. i would like to assign a certain user always the same (or at least virtually a static never chaning) ip address from the lan-side ip pool. the ip pool is being set in /etc/pptpd.conf with remoteip 10.x.y.z for example. now user-x needs to get a 10.x.y.1 and user-x2 needs to get 10.x.y.2 for example. but no matter when or in what order or how they connect to the pptpd selecting the various ip addresses via the vpn clients transmitted user-name would be ok for me. i havent found any settings that would allow such a configurations o far. maybe it needs to be set in /etc/ppp/options.pptp any hints on how to achieve this feat? thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Nested RAID 0+1 (SW)
by Arun Khan 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

Has anyone done a 0+1 SW RAID? I am assembling an entry level server Intel s3000ah board, xeon 3220 2.4GHz, 8GB RAM and 4*160GB SATA II hdds. sda and sdb on one controller; sdc and sdd on an another controller. I am thinking of configuring 2 disks (sda1+sdc1) in a RAID0 setup and then mirror this RAID device on the other 2 disks (sdb1+sdd1). Has anyone done such a setup using sw raid in openSUSE? -- Arun Khan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
