[opensuse] CAnt burn iso dvd's
by Richard Atcheson 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

I'm using Opensuse 11.0 w/ KDE3 on a Dell Inspiron 1545.........I've tried to burn a bootable iso dvd using k3b and Tkdvd without success. The iso is burned but will not boot. I tried several different dvd iso's but none will boot. I can burn data dvds and have successfully burned bootable iso and data cd's using the same writer and K3b. Has anyone else had a similar problem or know of a cure? I checked the k3b lists and others with no luck so far.

I know I'm not using an e-mail program - but your assertion was that people not using kmail don't have the option. I was merely pointing out that you were not correct in that assertion. :-) Also, I think probably more people use IMAP than POP these days, but I could be wrong.

[opensuse] Suse Support for Jumbo Frames
by Dave Feustel 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

I'm running Suse 11 on an MSI K9N NEO Version 3. According to the motherboard manual, the lan nic is a Realtek RTL8111B which, according to its datasheet, supports Jumbo frames to 7422. I have not succeeded in setting the mtu to 7422 using either ifconfig or the ip command. It's hard to believe that Suse 11 doesn't support Jumbo frames. How are Jumbo Frames enabled in Suse? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Replacing/renaming RPM - problem on 11.1 with zypper update
by Urs Beyerle 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

Hi, I would like to replace the OpenSUSE package "Modules" with a newer package called "environment-modules" (Fedora/RHEL rpm name). In the environment-modules.spec file I have Provides: Modules = %{version} Obsoletes: Modules < %{version} This leads to # rpm -q --provides environment-modules Modules = 3.2.6 environment-modules = 3.2.6-23.1 # rpm -q --obsoletes environment-modules Modules < 3.2.6 The openSUSE RPM Modules has the version 3.1.6 (Modules-3.1.6-38.112). Epoch is for both packages equal "none". I can install my environment-modules RPM with rpm -Uhv. However, if I run "zypper update" on openSUSE 11.1, zypper wants to replace my *newer* environment-modules RPM. # zypper udpate Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... The following NEW package is going to be installed: Modules The following package is going to be REMOVED: environment-modules In zypper.log I see 2009-04-23 12:25:48 <1> host(13604) [zypper++] solve-commit.cc(summary):593 <install> (3581)Modules-3.1.6-38.112.i586(repo_oss) 2009-04-23 12:25:48 <1> host(13604) [zypper++] solve-commit.cc(summary):593 <uninstall> (17715)environment-modules-3.2.6-23.1.i586(@System) I see this only on openSUSE 11.1. OpenSUSE 10.3 and 11.0 do not want to remove my newer environment-modules RPM. In contrast to "zypper update", yast online update does not remove my environment-modules RPM. I use the original zypp.conf of openSUSE 11.1. Why does this happen with zypper? Is this a feature or a bug?

[opensuse] Possible Linux / Windows opportunity
by Duaine & Laura Hechler 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

This is my initial take on the situation, so please advice in detail (privately if you want) I realize I still have a lot of questions to answer .......... Ultimately, I would like enough information to develop a proposal. Plus any references (show cases, etc) for auto garage setups. Observations: - Constant bouncing between consoles (assuming customer appointment scheduling, POS, general web (looking up parts, etc) - Based on initial talking to tech, could use multiple desktops. - Constantly worrying about keeping anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc, updated. - Not sure what they do about backups. (assuming standard Win setup - drive C: only) (this is where /home would benefit) Setup: - Local auto garage has two buildings - main office and garage with customer counter. - Running Win XP (Pro?) via LAN DSL. - Apps are about half / half - windows and web (Firefox) - Some sort of POS with credit card processing and laser printing - Some sort of Accounting (probably inventory, receivable, payable) - Uses "All Data" auto information system (alldata.com) - As well as general web access. Initial conversion thoughts: - openSUSE Linux - VirtualBox - - - Win XP (Pro?) (use want they are running now) - - - File and print sharing Would I need or to consider: - openSUSE Server - SAMBA Thank you in advance, Duaine -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] lost Internet
by D. McGarrett 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

Linux computer, Suse version 9.3. The other nite, disconnected power wires from computer and monitor, but did not disconnect Ethernet cable, due to thunderstorms in the area.(Old UPS had died.) Hooked power back up and turned on computer, which appeared to boot normally. Went to check mail (KMail), response was could not find server. Went to Konsole, and tried to ping a local company. This ping works on Windows machine. Swapped cables on router, fault is still on Linux machine, ping works fine in Windows still. Tried from Linux machine to ping router. (Ping 192.168.1.1) and this works fine in both directions. (Router is wired Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL Router with 4 port switch.) What's my next test, and how do I make this stuff work? At the present moment, I cannot read/write any CD or DVD-- I think I have the settings on the drives wrong. I can read a Kingston flash-drive, formatted in DOS-32 or whatever they call it. (It came that way.) I should be able to d/l whatever I need from Windows. If it matters, the computer is about 3 years old, comes from Fry's. I bought it with some junk Linux system, and put Suse on it. All helpful comments welcome. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
