[opensuse] rsync.opensuse.org and download.opensuse.org not in sync?!?!?
by Manfred Hollstein 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi there, I thought that download.opensuse.org/repositories gets filled from rsync.opensuse.org, but that doesn't seem to be the case (at least ATM): if you look at download.opensuse.org/repositories which version of MozillaFirefox is available for openSUSE-10.3, you'll find <http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_10.3/i586/Mozill…> however, looking at the output from running rsync -n -av rsync.opensuse.org::buildservice-repos/mozilla/openSUSE_10.3/i586 . | grep MozillaFirefox you'll see i586/MozillaFirefox-3.0.7-1.4.i586.rpm There must be something wrong with rsync.opensuse.org, no? TIA, cheers. l8er manfred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Arie Reynaldi Z 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

I'd like to install openvpn-client for my suse 9.3. Now i'm looking for lzo and lzo-devel, but i cant find it anywhere. There's only packages for 10.0. I know 9.3 is discontinued, but can I still get lzo for this version ? I try to install lzo from source, but openvpn cant find lzo library, even after I did ldconfig.. :( regards, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] BASH - howto make output stay in one place on screen?
by David C. Rankin 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Listmates, In BASH, how can I make the output of several commands all start from the same spot on the screen? In c we used to have all these nice libraries that gave control over X,Y screen output. (IIRC we were actually manipulating the video buffer) But in bash, there doesn't seem to be any way to do this. For example, if I have a simple counter and I want to see the numbers increasing without scrolling a line for every number output, I ended up having to do this (just paste it into the command line): echo -en "\n\tThe count stands at: "; for ((i=1;i<=120;i++)); do mstrlen=${#i}; echo -en "$i"; sleep .1; for ((j=0;j<$mstrlen;j++)); do echo -en "\b"; done; done; echo -e "\n" Surely there is an easier way. What say the bash gurus?? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] OpenSUSE 11.1 Boot Loader Problem
by Stephen P. Molnar 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

For reasons that I needn't go into I found it necessary to upgrade my Linux system to OpenSUSE 11.1 form 10.3 (I was intending to wait for 11.2, but that's a different story) I installed 111.1 on a new 500GB SATA HD without any complaints or problems, until I rebooted the system without the installation DVD in it's drive. Everything is well until I get to: GRUB loading stage 1.5 When the boot hangs on: GRUB loading, please wait . . . In this case the ellipses represent a time of infinity. OK. What I gon' to do? Well, boot the installation DVD and run Repair System. The first two methods on that page were unsuccessful. I tried Expert Tools and it told me that it succeeded. And, indeed it did as long as I selected Repair Tools/Boot installed system from the pull down menu at the bottom of the Expert Tools page. When I boot from the HD (no installation DVD in drive) it still hangs So I can boot 11.1, albeit it rather clumsily. I managed to copy the Grub menu list to my windows machine (from which this pleas for help is being dispatched. It's attached. I am strictly a user and GRUB is an arcane mystery to me. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. # Modified by YaST2.

When one does an update / software package(s) install using Yast / CLI-zypper, where are the logs for this stored ?

Is it safe to mix updating with Zypper and Yast2? I.e., do they use the same dependency resolution algorithm and source list? TIA, Jeffrey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bug in mkinitrd if using md raid
by Florian Gleixner 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi, i use this layout: /boot is on /dev/md0 mirror at the beginning of the 2 disks. lvm volumegroup is on /dev/md1 mirror / is a lvm volume swap and other filesystems are also lvm volumes. mkinitrd creates a /etc/mdadm.conf inside the initrd that contains only the /dev/md1. The system stops when it it trying to check the /boot filesystem - because it is not found. When i add the /dev/md0 into the initrd mdadm.conf then booting works. Am i doing something wrong? Has anyone compared lvm mirroring vs. md mirroring? Reliability, performance, ...? Thanks Florian
