How can I delete or completely erase a partition-table. The feature "delete partitiontable" is removed in the opensuse partitioning tool. Thanks, Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] New channel #openSUSE-server
by Stephen Shaw 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

There was some discussion about a new server cd and server targeted kernel during the the -project meeting today. I proposed a new irc channel that is dedicated to all things server. Anyone that is interested in the server specifically I encourage you to join the channel and spread the word. I think it would be great to have a strong community around the server side of openSUSE. See you all there! Stephen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Not implying you meant otherwise; but when debugging something it is nice to know that, yes, it does work and you aren't chasing a pathological problem. Just did a zypper update of the system to FF 3.0.11, and CNN.COM still works. -- OpenGroupware developer: awilliam(a)whitemice.org <http://whitemiceconsulting.blogspot.com/> OpenGroupare & Cyrus IMAPd documenation @ <http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/whitemice/wmogag/file_view> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Flash video clips on news websites -- Second try
by Stan Goodman 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

The fact that nobody has been able to comment on the following query must indicated either that I haven't given enough information on it (although I don't know what else I could say), or that this is not the right place to ask for help with the problem, but I don't know where a more appropriate place would be. I would really like to solve this problem, and would be very grateful for any helpful comments or advice. This system is OS v11.1. Recently it stopped showing the video clips on the CNN.COM site (which is where I get much of my foreign news). The behavior is that the graphics status line declares that data is being transferred, but when all that is done, the window remains black. These are the clips listed in the "Latest News" part of the Home page. I also still have an installation of OS v10.3 on the machine; the same clips that are not displayed on the v11.1, do show on the v10.3. Comparison of the JavaScript permissions for the two systems are Identical, so the problem is not one of JS. But in BOTH installations, an attempt to enter the Crime section of the site fails: the status line reports that data is being transferred, but afterward the window remains grey. That doesn't happen with any other part of the CNN site. My next attempt at diagnosis was to disable all the browser extensions. This made no difference, so the problem is also not in an extension. The only remaining possibility that occurs to me is the Flash plugin. The ShockWave plugin is present (v10.0.r22), and is enabled for swf and spl formats. But I have also noticed lately that several sites I have visited refuse to admit me because they claim that I don't have Flash, and I should install Flash v8 or higher, and I assume/hope that this is a clue to the present problem, even if I don't know how to interpret it. I have also examined about:config and searched for lines containing "flash", but nothing jumps out at me as a possible connection. Any advice will be welcome. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SW Mgmt. Update error: %post(gjdoc-0.7.9-2.10.noarch) scriptlet failed
by David C. Rankin 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

Listmates, Peter: I have experienced a Yast SW Management update package failure that stops the update process: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: install-info: menu item `gcc' already exists, for file `gcc' error: %post(gjdoc-0.7.9-2.10.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 Frustrating part is that when you start an update that will take several hours, leave and then check back hours later (like at lunchtime) only to find the update has stopped at 17% and you still have hours to go :( I guess this is just a bad gjdoc rpm that needs to be rebuilt. P.S. kde4.3 Beta 2, just keeps getting better! It should be in great shape for 11.2. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] 11.1 nfs and samba problems
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

a few days ago i posted that my month old 11.1 suse install suddenly lost the ability to start the nfs server automatically or from Yast, now the server only starts from the command line. today i found out that the samba server is also screwed up, something about the smbfs not being capable of starting, also an old, circa suse 9.2 complaint about "can not write pam settings" when trying to install windows membership in yast. this is a vanilla install, with the addition of kernel sources (for vmware install), the basic suse repositories, also packman and vlc for the multimedia apps, the only kde ever installed and used has been kde3. again, both samba and nfs were working fine a week ago. it is very probable that some "security update" did the damage, but I have allready tried the downgrade s to samba and winbind without success. any help on both of these issues would be appreciated. thanks, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Legacy hardware support in openSUSE 10.3
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

I have had a request by a client to see if some legacy hardware is supported by openSUSE 10.3. Most of the things they asked about I could sort out. It just left me with this: ASUS P2B-S Motherboard (CPU - Pentium 2 350/512/100/2.0 S1) ATI Mach 64 PCI The system should run KDE 3.5. No fancy graphics effects. I suspect it could be pushing it with a 350 MHz P2. Even id the graphics card is decent. Aside from suggesting a hardware upgrade, any constructive opinions? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
