[opensuse] Dependency Hell.....again.
by Fred A. Miller 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

For over 2 weeks now, there's been an OpenOffice update, but due to dependencies, I can't get it. Now, since yesterday, there's a new kernel, (I need the nVidia version) but because of a dependency, which isn't listed, I can't get that either. Can we assume someone is going to fix all the dependency issues.....soon?!

[opensuse] zypper - ignore vendors & download first
by Sylvester Lykkehus 27 May '09

27 May '09

Hi list, I've skipped using the built in software management in openSUSE for the past 3-4 releases, as I have been using the 'smart package manager' to do my updates and even dist upgrades. I have had my eyes on libzypp for a while, for it's great performance compared to smart. I have 2 questions for libzypp and the zypper commandline tool: 1. Is there any way to completely and forcefully disable the vendor check ? I now that I can add trusted vendors to the list, but that is not my objective. I rely on the repo priority, and do not wish to use the vendor check feature of libzypp. 2. 'Download first - install after' behavior. I remember someone mentioning a 'secret' unsupported option or configuration for zypp to start installation, only after/if all packages have been downloaded first. I just don't remember what it was. Kind regards Sylvester Lykkehus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] keep alive SSH tunnel after resume
by Paul Korossy 13 May '09

13 May '09

Hi, I'm using port forwarding via SSH tunnel, but if I suspend my machine, the connection hangs after resuming, and I have to rerun the ssh-command on console every time. How can I rebuild the connection automatically after resuming?

[opensuse] rsyncable source and debug package repos for 11.1
by Hans-Peter Jansen 13 May '09

13 May '09

Hi, for some reason, I need rsyncable source and debug package repos for 11.1. Unfortunately, gwdg.de doesn't provide them anymore. Eberhard told me, that SUSE master server doesn't provide the necessary resources :-(. The .de mirrors I tried, didn't provide rsyncable targets either. How do I solve my problem?

[opensuse] cannot build RPMs
by Shawn Protsman 06 May '09

06 May '09

After getting a fresh install of 11.1 I'm unable to build any RPMs. It bombs in the %prep stage. I checked the differences between 'rpm' files between my 11.0 and 11.1 box and noticed that I have devel_rpm_build on 11.0 but not 11.1.

[opensuse] A good partition resize strategy?
by Verner Kjærsgaard 03 May '09

03 May '09

Hi list I've got an openSuSE11 installed on a vmwaremachine, with a number of partitions. The root partition (/), however, is too small. I need to xfer the vmware image to another vmware machine, this time making room for - and increasing the size of the root partition. Any good strategy, hints?

[opensuse] Realplayer not playing??
by David C. Rankin 03 May '09

03 May '09

Listmates, Our local public radio station transmitter is down and I was trying to get the audio stream to play in realplayer on openSuSE 11.0, but nothing would play. I chose amarok and all is playing fine. The stream I wanted to listed to can be found here in both .pls and .m3u format: http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/rrr/ppr/index.shtml Is realplayer broken? Can anyone else get the .pls or .m3u streams to play in realplayer? (you get a bit of culture as well, it's classical until 3:00 pm CDT. or 2000 UTC (zulu)) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
