[opensuse] equivallent to activesync
by jdd 23 Mar '09

23 Mar '09

I was given an old acer N300 PDA. On windows system, I had to find and install ActiveSync from Microsoft to be able to syn it via USB On Linux it's not seen basically. What can I do? It's seen in windows as an RNDIS link (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/network/ndis/rmndis.mspx) thanks - I hate to be obliged to launch Win just for that :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412160445 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.1 in graphics mode not installable on Intel 845G onboard graphics
by pft 22 Mar '09

22 Mar '09

Hi, I'd like to report an assumed bug in graphics support for Intel onboard braphics 845G in opensuse 11.1 I am not an experience beta-tester (actually not a beta-tester at all) so I'd like to avoid writing formal bug report. However being a moderator in a german forum on opensuse I checked quite carefully including help from my co-moderators so there is some confidence. I can also give some support on locating the bug if given some guidance :-) So what is it? Whenever I try to install with any of the usual options (acpi, local apic, secure settings), everything goes fine until the final hardware setup which crashes. Installing into text mode, loading graphics support and starting "sax2 -a" manually consistently revealed this error in yast.99.log: "intel_bufmgr_fake.c:392: Error waiting for fence: Device or resource busy." There is no additional HW plugged to the boards, just onboard features. The board is a Fujitsu Siemens Computers Board with a P4. To allow some hardware identification, here is output of "lspci": 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 01) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 01) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 01) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 01) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-M) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 01) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 81) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL (ICH4/ICH4-L) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 01) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801DB (ICH4) IDE Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) SMBus Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) 02:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB PRO/100 VM (LOM) Another poblem I notice lately is that initialization is obviously incomplete. That is if I do a reboot from Window to Linux I ge no suitable signal but an "out of range" message from my monitor. Only if I shut down completely from windows and then restart it works fine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] what does this updater message mean?
by Daniel Bauer 22 Mar '09

22 Mar '09

Hi, Opensuse updater wants to update "hal dbus configuration" to 6098-0 (on 10.3/KDE 3.5, up-to-date, except this one). The details about this update say: "The dbus package used a too permissive configuration. Therefore intended access control for some services was not applied (CVE-2008-4311). The new configuration denies access by default. Some dbus services may break due to this setting and need an updated configuration as well." I'm not sure if I understand what this wants to tell me: will I have to udate any configuration myself (manually?) after this update, or *is* this update already the new configuration? If I have to configure anything manually: what? how? Can this update break my WLAN/Knetworkmanager (which already is more than problematic on 10.3)? thanks for making this clear to me...

[opensuse] getting new laptop
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 22 Mar '09

22 Mar '09

i will be buying a new laptop in a week or so. In stage 1 I hope to run a dual boot system, some windoze version and then suse 10.3, probably 32 bit but that's not final, the 64 bit ver is not only faster, but it is approaching the 100% compatibility mark. no, thanks, i will not try 11.0 or 11.1 yet, i need a kde that has *no* hooks to kde4 until at least kde 4.4 as they mark them, but let's not digress. In stage 2 I hope to run suse 10.3 as the base system, then the plan is to load up vmware and run 2 or 3 virtual oss'es, and to include the "default" windoze partition as a vmware option. The plan is to Buy a core-duo from Dell or ibm/lenovo. 2.4 ghz plus, 4 gb ram, 300-500 gb hard drive, wifi. since there will be graphics involved, i might even go to a 17" lcd. blue ray read a possibility, but definitely not a must have. I am not scared of ati drivers, have installed a few with direct ati downloads (the trick really is to *reboot* right after running an aticonfig:)), so I ask the group what other pitfalls might I want to avoid. thanks in advance, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] eeePC 1000HE 11.1 tapping
by Bob Ewart 22 Mar '09

22 Mar '09

I've installed openSUSE 11.1 on my ASUS eeepc 1000HE with the KDE 3.5 desktop and tried all the suggestions to turn off tapping. My xorg.conf has: ... Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Name" "ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse" Option "Protocol" "explorerps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection ... I tried adding Option "MaxTapTime" "0" and/or Option "SHMConfig" "on" but tapping still happened and gsynaptics complained about SHMConfig not being on. I tried setting the mouse via sax2 to a synaptics device and got no mouse action at all. I even tried adding the synaptics input device as Mouse[0] along with the above and added SHMConfig and MaxTapTime to both. The touchpad worked, but tapping was still happening. Has anyone gotten tapping turned off on a touchpad with openSUSE 11.1? -- Bob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
