[opensuse] OpenSuSE on a HP Pavilio TX 2000 tablet pc
by Frederyco Martins 28 Mar '09

28 Mar '09

Hi folks, I'd like to know if opensuse + kde works on tablet pcs. I intend to buy a HP Pavilion Tx 2000 with a built-in wacom tablet, but I'm facing two great doubts: 1- Does it works with openSuSE and KDE??? (A test via livecd didn't reconize the tablet not even as a mouse. If I buy it, will I be able to install drivers or something like that?) 2- Is it's wacom pressure sensitive? If so, how about the pressure level? (Since I can't find this simple information anywhere, I start to think that it isn't, and that's why hp don't reveals that to their costumers. To me is quite simple: If Yes - I'll buy it / if No - I wont Thanks a lot. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Grub problems after installing drives
by James D. Parra 28 Mar '09

28 Mar '09

Hello, After installing external drives, my system now sees the sda disk as sdc and can't boot. In rescue mode ran; # mkdir /tmp/root mount /dev/sdc3 /tmp/root mount --bind /proc /tmp/root/proc mount --bind /sys /tmp/root/sys mount --bind /dev /tmp/root/dev chroot /tmp/root mount /dev/sdc1 /boot I edited /boot/grub/device.map to point (hd0) to /dev/sdc, then ran grub-install and it says succeeded and has no errors, however when I reboot the system the system hangs at "Booting from local disk'. How can I fix this? I'd hate to reinstall the OS. Many thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenSuse 11.1 ntpd host name not found
by Mitch Claborn 28 Mar '09

28 Mar '09

OpenSuse 11.1 ntpd seems to have a problem resolving the name "us.pool.ntp.org" when running as a daemon, but not from the command line. I'm seeing these errors in the log: host name not found: us.pool.ntp.org couldn't resolve `us.pool.ntp.org', giving up on it Yet when I query that name with the "host" command it looks fine: host us.pool.ntp.org us.pool.ntp.org has address 217.160.254.116 us.pool.ntp.org has address 209.20.66.253 us.pool.ntp.org has address 66.36.239.104 us.pool.ntp.org has address 66.96.99.10 us.pool.ntp.org has address 199.199.208.25 and when I run "ntpd -d -q" it syncs fine from one of the address of us.pool.ntp.org: newpeer: 192.168.3.105->217.160.254.116 mode 3 vers 4 poll 6 10 flags 0x201 0x1 ttl 0 key 00000000 local_clock: time 0 offset 0.000000 freq -10.467 state 1 report_event: system event 'event_restart' (0x01) status 'sync_alarm, sync_unspec, 1 event, event_unspec' (0xc010) refclock_transmit: at 1 127.127.1.0 refclock_receive: at 1 127.127.1.0 peer LOCAL(0) event 'event_reach' (0x84) status 'unreach, conf, 1 event, event_reach' (0x8014) refclock_sample: n 1 offset 0.000000 disp 0.010000 jitter 0.000002 clock_filter: n 1 off 0.000000 del 0.000000 dsp 7.937501 jit 0.000002, age 0 auth_agekeys: at 1 keys 1 expired 0 timer: refresh ts 0 timer: interface update transmit: at 2 192.168.3.105->217.160.254.116 mode 3 receive: at 2 192.168.3.105<-217.160.254.116 mode 4 code 1 auth 0 peer 217.160.254.116 event 'event_reach' (0x84) status 'unreach, conf, 1 event, event_reach' (0x8014) clock_filter: n 1 off 1.255019 del 0.097514 dsp 7.937502 jit 0.000002, age 0 transmit: at 4 192.168.3.105->217.160.254.116 mode 3 receive: at 4 192.168.3.105<-217.160.254.116 mode 4 code 1 auth 0 clock_filter: n 2 off 1.249385 del 0.095019 dsp 3.937511 jit 0.005634, age 0 transmit: at 6 192.168.3.105->217.160.254.116 mode 3 receive: at 6 192.168.3.105<-217.160.254.116 mode 4 code 1 auth 0 clock_filter: n 3 off 1.251640 del 0.090293 dsp 1.937519 jit 0.002872, age 0 transmit: at 8 192.168.3.105->217.160.254.116 mode 3 receive: at 8 192.168.3.105<-217.160.254.116 mode 4 code 1 auth 0 clock_filter: n 4 off 1.251754 del 0.089975 dsp 0.937525 jit 0.002330, age 0 transmit: at 10 192.168.3.105->217.160.254.116 mode 3 receive: at 10 192.168.3.105<-217.160.254.116 mode 4 code 1 auth 0 clock_filter: n 5 off 1.251924 del 0.090059 dsp 0.437528 jit 0.002008, age 0 report_event: system event 'event_peer/strat_chg' (0x04) status 'sync_alarm, sync_ntp, 2 events, event_restart' (0xc621) addto_syslog: synchronized to 217.160.254.116, stratum 2 -- Mitch Claborn mitch(a)claborn.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Atom 330 64 bit OpenSUSE 11.1
by Joseph Loo 28 Mar '09

28 Mar '09

I tried to install OpenSUSE 11.1 on an dual processor Atom 330. They claim it has EMT64 implemented on the machine. When I booted OpenSUSE 11.1 DVD, I had a "kernel panic - not syncing attempted to kill init" Is there a problem using the 64 bit version? -- Joseph Loo jloo(a)acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] BASH - Why does trap output 45 blank lines to the terminal?
by David C. Rankin 28 Mar '09

28 Mar '09

Listmates, I set up a simple trap to gzip any open files on scripts interrupt or exit: cleanup () { echo -e "\n\tExecuting cleanup from trap\n" [[ -e $NEWFILE ]] && gzip --force --quiet $NEWFILE [[ -e $XMLFILE ]] && gzip --force --quiet $XMLFILE } trap cleanup SIGINT SIGTERM EXIT rest of script.... trap works correctly, but when it is called, it seems to be inserting 45 blank-lines after the original command line causing the terminal to scroll-up. Looks odd: 08:33 alchemy:~/linux/scripts/parse> sh xmlparse test.xml.gz <snip 45 blank lines> Executing cleanup from trap This may be a feature, but if I can turn it off, that would be great. What say the bash gurus? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] local update Repository - Howto make packages from openSuSE update appear as "patch"
by David C. Rankin 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Listmates, I have created a local update repository for my lan. The directory layout is: 18:16 nirvana:/home/backup/rpms> l openSUSE_11.0/ total 312 drwxr-xr-x 9 david dcr 4096 2009-03-27 05:57 ./ drwxr-xr-x 5 david dcr 4096 2009-03-27 16:19 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 david dcr 65536 2009-03-27 04:48 delta/ drwxr-xr-x 2 david dcr 53248 2009-03-27 05:48 i586/ drwxr-xr-x 2 david dcr 4096 2009-03-27 04:48 i686/ drwxr-xr-x 2 david dcr 32768 2009-03-27 05:48 noarch/ drwxr-xr-x 2 david dcr 4096 2009-03-27 05:57 repodata/ drwxr-xr-x 2 david dcr 4096 2009-03-20 20:40 src/ The deltainfo.xml.gz has been tailored to the local repository and only contains information regarding delta.rpm availability for delta.rpm that are in openSUSE_11.0/delta directory. The local repository was added to client machines with zypper ar http://pathtorepo/openSUSE_11.0/ Everything works great, except..... When I try use zypper up -r local-repository, with known updates in it, it says nothing is available. But when I use zypper up -r local-repository -t package, then all the updates and other newer packages are shown just as is should be. So the question is, "How do I preserve the patch status of the rpms that are saved from the openSuSE update repository so that they get selected when I run zypper up against the local repository?" Is there a trick for this?? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] kernel sickboy amd opensuse 11.1

I installed sickboy kernel ( kernel optimized for ubuntu on Aspire One ) on a D150X ( 10 inches aspire one ) with OpenSuSE 11.1. I have a problem, it stops on boot because it does not find partitions. Before, it looks for swap partion ( to resume ) and it does not find it; then it looks for root partition and it shows " .... waiting for sda5 to appear ........ sda5 not found " then it stops and switchs to prompt. Tried to give to grub, both, devices name ( /dev/sda5/7 ) and uuid ( /dev/disk/by-id/SATA..................PART5, 7 ) but, no changes, it does not find partions disk, any clue ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
