[opensuse] Grub HOSED, 2nd time
by L. V. Lammert 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Apparently there could be an issue with the kernel update last week - when I booted my AMD64 11.1 machine this AM, grub was gone AGAIN! After trying the automatic repair, I find that menu.lst now contains: ># Modified by YaST2. Last modification on Mon Mar 2 10:23:07 CST 2009 >timeout 8 >default 0 >gfxmenu (hd0,0)/message >##YaST - activate The automatic repair HAS the proper entries in the GUI list, but they don't get placed IN menu.lst in /boot/grub! > How do I get the proper entries back? > Is this a bug and/or how can I prevent grub from getting corrupted in the fiuture??

[opensuse] Squid - wrong time(zone) on FTP listings:(
by pelibali 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hi, with some Google-ing and rel. straightforward patching I managed to change finally the timezone on the error messages squid ships to users and now the local time is shown there as e.g. Generated 02/Mar/2009:23:38:11 +0100 by trinity.lamanet (squid/2.5.STABLE16) Later I recognized that at the very end of all FTP listings not the local time, but something unwanted is present: Generated Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:39:13 GMT by trinity.lamanet (squid/2.5.STABLE16) Any idea please, how to make also the FTP listings using the local time rather than the above string; and how is that this time string is so much different from the other mentioned one?!

[opensuse] disconnecting USB drive freezes 11.1
by Leen de Braal 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hi all, Anybody have any idea how to debug this: opensuse 11.1 as a server (no X), an external USB-disk is used as a backup with rsync. This is done with a script, disk is mounted and umounted by the script, and this runs ok. When the disk is disconnected, plug pulled (after umount), the machine freezes quite hard. Only thing working is the network card (can ping the IP), but no ssh, no samba, and nothing is written in any log. Where to start looking? ATM there is no keyboard and no monitor attached. Could do this for debugging, of course.

[opensuse] Problem viewing a .flv
by Anton Aylward 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

I wanted to run a YouTube "Tutorial" video at half or quarter speed and thought that the best way to do this was to download it and use local tools to do that. Good idea, poor implementation. So, I have the .flv file and I can't view it. I get sound but no video. I've downloaded and updated codecs that I know about and found in past threads on this. I've tried smplayer, dragon, kaffine, mplayer, vlc player, xine and flash player 10. That last one gives nothing at all. Smplayer is the odd one. I get the sound tack at the right speed and the video and 4x speed. What's going on here that I've misconfigured or misunderstood? -- "You may delegate authority, but not responsibility."

by Michael S. Dunsavage 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

How long is this going to be a problem? Running openSUSE 11.0 and the update applet complains about unsigned repomd's and so does zypper. Someone said it was a temporarily problem, I was wondering if anyone is working on it? -- Michael S.

I have a problem with driver, when i install it i cant get GUI, i am stuck in text mode. I tried everything sax2 and etc, but in the end i have to install system once again. I used the correct 1-click install for my version of OS and my graphic card ( nVidia 7300 Go). Two months before i installed the same 1-click install driver and everything was excellent, and now it fails to load x-server. The message on the screen is :"init level 5 couldn't " and nothing more. Help me pls Thanks in advance Strahinja. Greetings from Montenegro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hiall, I am usig OS 11.1 with KDE 4.2. when going to youtube (or any other video site) the video frame stays black right-clicking shows that Flash 10 is running but the about selection brings me to a generic page at adobe (not the "you are running flash xxx) and in the configuration I see that it is using /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so The site plays ok in Firefox (where I was not able to find out where it gets the plugin from. Right clicking and selecting about here reveals flash 10,0,15,3. any idea? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
