[opensuse] 10.3 gcc44-info install error, worth a bug?

Listmates, Installing gcc44-info looks like it has problems with the post install scrip not recognizing previously installed packages. Attempting to upgrade the package results in the following: The following package is going to be upgraded: gcc44-info Overall download size: 1.7 M. After the operation, 0.0 B will be freed. Continue?

[opensuse] Beware the ides of PHP53
by David C. Rankin 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Listmates, If you update to php5.3 from the OBS/php repository, be aware you will need to change your configuration a bit. There are fairly significant changes in php5.3 between what is a module and what is handled in a new sense. When you install php5.3, you will need to make use of the /etc/php5/*/php.ini.rpmnew files that contain the configuration layout expected by php5.3. The easy way to do this is just to copy your current php.ini to php.ini.52, then copy php.ini.rpmnew to php.ini. To move your changes over, the way I found least painful is to open the 52 ini file next to the new 53 ini in kdiff3, then with the new php.ini open in kwrite (as root), just adjust and merge your 52 setting into the ini file. If you are not familiar with kdiff3, just make sure you have it install and if not, install it: rpm -q kdiff3 || sudo zypper in kdiff3 You can simply just use diff, but I like the side-by-side scrolling of kdiff3. Pay particular attention to the following 2 settings: open_basedir = include_path = see: http://php.net/open-basedir http://php.net/include-path Specifically make sure there are no trailing '/' characters at the end of any of the path elements -- UNLESS -- you intend for apache and php to search that directory and NOT TO descend any further. Simply removing the trailing '/' in those setting cured 99% of my php5.2->5.3 update problems. YMMV Once you have finished moving your php 5.2 settings to the new php.ini, restart apache (rcapache2) and see if things are working. So far on my 10.3 servers, I still have XMLResponse errors with eGroupware and squirrelmail 1.52 will not log in. Otherwise, all is well. (I think the sqmail issue is an include_path issue) Good luck. (P.S. if it still won't work, just disable the php repo and downgrade to php 5.2.9 in the updates repository - works fine as well) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Set up mount point
by Maura Monville 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

I followed Andre's suggestion and mopunted the partition through Yast2. I gave it the name "storage" (see system commands output at the bottom). The problem now is that as user "mauede" I am not allowed to move or copy any file to "storage", though I can list its contents it (ls command). I tried to change the accessrights as root using the command chmod and even tried to change its owner using chown. Apparently such commands are executed (no error message) but nothing changes..... what am I doing wrong ?

[opensuse] Golden archive of OpenSuse akin to a flash archive of Solaris?
by Simon Loewenthal/NL/Tele2 31 Aug '09

Dear all, Is there a procedure to create a golden image of a SLES / OpenSUSE installation akin to a flash archive in Solaris' jumpstart that one could use for (re)installation?

I have a dual-boot desktop ( Windows & SuSE). The hard disk was partitioned (not by me) as shown in the attached picture. A partition (/dev/sda1) contains Windows O.S. and space ghas been allocated for typical Windows applications. Another partition (I think it is /dev/sda2) has been created for Linux O.S. and its applications. Some space should have been allocated to /swap. Maybe it is the 10GB one ??? Then there are another 2 partitions that should have been created ( (ntfs-3g 42.5 GB and 4.5 GB) according to my expressed desire) to share data between SuSE and Windows. However from SuSE I cannot see such "utility" partitions. I think because they are not mounted by default ... ??? From my poor knowledge of OS commands I can see the following: mauede@bordighera:~> mount -l /dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) [] /proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/sda1 on /windows/C type fuseblk (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) [] fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/mauede/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=mauede) mauede@bordighera:~> cat /etc/fstab /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6Y080M0_Y21GWDCC-part3 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6Y080M0_Y21GWDCC-part2 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6Y080M0_Y21GWDCC-part1 /windows/C ntfs-3g users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=en_US.UTF I would greatly appreciate some guidelines at making such partitions visible from SuSE so that I can use them Thank you in advance.

If you can confirm that the process you are seeing is indeed nscd (by searching for the process ID in the "ps aux" output and seeing what it's name is there) then yes, it's not a big problem. It's obviously still a bug in nscd though Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] [Kino] imported text file image breaks up
by Stuart Murray-Smith 31 Aug '09

Greetings fellow listers :) I'm using Kino to add credits text to the end of a .DV file. However, the text breaks up, or appears very low-res. Having Googled, a few websites point out that Kino isn't quite up to speed with this functionality yet. Time not on my side, otherwise I'd look into the myriad other options :) Could someone please recommend a video editing app that would import a static text file at the end of a {DV|AVI|MPEG} and that it it at least look good.
