I will investigate. I always find the rsyn parameters powefull but scary :-( - anyway if it works it will be stored in a script :-) thanks 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] enable DHCP server broadcast Suse 11
by James D. Parra 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hello, Is there a way to ensure that the DHCP server on Suse will broadcast? Perhaps this is the default setting, but I want to make sure our Vista machines can get a DHCP assigned address.

[opensuse] Photo viewer
by John Bennett 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hi, wondering if there is a basic photo viewer, with similar functionality to the standard Windows photo viewer... I just want something (particularly to stop the missus whinging...) so you can set it up as the default, can double click on a photo, will automatically size for best viewing, can "easily" print the image, with a number of options for size, and multiple photos etc...? Not asking for much... I have tried all the 'default' programs installed in Suse, and none of them seem to be as functional as the standard Windows viewer, particularly when it comes to printing. Please assist with removing wife from back.... :-( Thanks, John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] backup based on file size
by jdd 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hello :-) I use many very big files (cd or dvd images, video files) that are backedup manually. So I would like to make a full backup of my Hard Drive to an other hard drive (usb), but only for file smaller than - say - 500Mo what is the simpler (and faster, still more than 100Gb to backup) way to do this? thanks 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] Thinkpad, 11.1 and SDD: what causes strange behaviour?
by Thierry de Coulon 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

I just got a Thinkpad X200 and decided to replace the harddisk with a 32GB SDD. It's fast, boots fast and the machine has a fantastic battery life (over 4.5 hours with the original battery). It's very quiet too. I've installed 11.1 + KDE 3.5.9 but I am still fighting with some smaller issues: - I regularely see messages on boot that some partitions were not unmounted correctly, despite the fact that the shutdown seemed to be absolutely normal. Note that the check messages refer to "disk-by-ID-...." while I replaced these in fstab with /dev/sda_x, but I don't know if this can be a cause. - After resuming from sleep (suspend to RAM), the computer seems to be OK, but some links in the documents (specifically pictures embedded in OOo documents) are broken. Rebooting cures the problem. I was wondering if anyone has experience with the use of an SDD and could tell me if the cause of these annoyances could be the Thinkpad, the SDD, OpenSuse or perhaps a mix of all three...

Hi, On my laptop, Kpowersave displays the battery status as -1% charged. Is there a way to correct this behaviour? Regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Can not mount 'special' dvd.
by Carlos E. R. 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I was trying an experiment. First, I created an vfat filesystem as an image on a file: # dd if=/dev/zero of=dvd.vfat.image bs=32K count=143433 # losetup /dev/loop7 dvd.vfat.image # mkdosfs -n "Backup" -m boot_message /dev/loop7 mkdosfs 2.11 (12 Mar 2005) Loop device does not match a floppy size, using default hd params # file -s /dev/loop7 /dev/loop7: x86 boot sector, mkdosfs boot message display # nimrodel:/Grande/imgs # losetup -d /dev/loop7 /etc/fstab: /imgs/dvd.vfat.image /mnt/dvd.vfat.img vfat noauto,loop,fmask=0117,dmask=0007 0 0 And with this, I can do "mount /mnt/dvd.vfat.img" and the filesystem is mounted, I can copy files to it, etc. It works. Then, I umount it, and burn the image to a DVD (it has the exact size). I byte compare the DVD to its source image on the HD, and its matches. So far, so good. I have the appropriate entry in fstab to mount the dvd (of any type): /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 The DVD reads correctly - apparently: # file -s /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: x86 boot sector, mkdosfs boot message display But it does not mount: # mount /mnt/dvd mount: /dev/hdc: can't read superblock And the kernel log says only this: Mar 8 21:47:53 nimrodel kernel: FAT: logical sector size too small for device (logical sector size = 512) Why can't I mount it? The funny thing, is that I create encrypted vfat images, burn them to dvd, and they mount fine. But not a plain image! Did I do something wrong? Perhaps I used the wrong options to mkdosfs? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse] netstat -inc showing steady flow of packets, why?
by Greg Freemyer 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

All, I happened to notice that one of my machines that should be basically idle is showing about 20 packets a second coming in and out. This server is running samba and connected to a small network, but the volume is to small and slow to be a user interacting with the share. And I connected in via ssh to initiate the command, but I *assume* that the below is not all due to my ssh section. (ie. I hope am not just seeing the packets generated by me watching. Ooh, spooky physics time.) === # netstat -inc Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth2 1500 013513328 0 0 020660318 1 0 0 BMRU lo 16436 0 3 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 LRU Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth2 1500 0 20 0 0 0 19 0 0 0 BMRU lo 16436 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 LRU Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth2 1500 0 21 0 0 0 19 0 0 0 BMRU lo 16436 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 LRU Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth2 1500 0 24 0 0 0 25 0 0 0 BMRU lo 16436 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 LRU And it continues like that for a long time.
