[opensuse] mysql upgrade 5.0.51 to 5.1.36 - TRUNCATE/DROP on temp table?
by Per Jessen 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

After my upgrade to 5.1.36 I hit this odd little problem: I have an application which does roughly this: CREATE TEMP TABLE new LIKE old; populate 'new'. do some stuff TRUNCATE new; populate again This has always worked fine, but after the upgrade it failed because the user does not have DROP authority on 'new'. Can anyone explain to me what caused this change in behaviour? For the time being I've changed the TRUNCATE to a DELETE. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.7°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kmail in 4.3.1 Slow checking Gmail via Imap
by jsa 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Compared to Thunderbird, I've found Kmail seems really slow when checking mail or displaying folder contacts via imap when using a Gmail account. My older 3.5.9 version on my laptop seems much faster. Jumping into a "folder" on Gmail that has a couple hundred messages can take a LONG time to list the messages. Is anyone else using Kmail in KDE with Gmail and seeing performance problems? -- __________________________________________________________ Somebody stoled my tag line, so now I have this rental...

[opensuse] OOSuSE bug
by Lívio Cipriano 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Hi all, OO SuSE version has a interesting bug when exporting Writer documents with formulas to PDF: doesn't write with the same font (Times Roman) all or part of the digits of a number and the bug seams to be random, some times does it some times not. The original OO, downloaded from openoffice.org, doesn't have this bug. I include 3 docs: 1) originalOO.Org.3.1.1.odt, the original doc; 2) fromOOSusE.3.1.1.pdf, the exported doc from a OO SuSe Writer version; 3) fromOO.Org.3.1.1.pdf, the exported deoc from the original OO Writer. Any ideas, or really a bug? -- Regards, Lívio Cipriano

[opensuse] DNS resolv problem on 11.1
by pent 5971 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Hi list, simple questions from me going on. My 11.1 box started somehow not resolving DNS (as a client). it gets IP from DHCP , and has an automatic resolv.conf file created by Network Manager. Having this problem i have moved this resolved.conf file from /etc and edited a new custom one there, but still didnt worked. It gets ip conifguration well , does everything well if IP is given. NSlookup doesnt resolv anything either (when also the dns server is changed). The other clients which are also at that subnet can resolv the DNS very well. Firewall is also disabled on the box. So has someone have an idea for the problem? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] make error due to library incompatibility
by Maura Monville 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Hi SuSE experts, I am running SuSE 11.1 I'd like to get some help at completing the installation of a scientific library taht I downloaded from http://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/RNA/. The compressed archive comes with all the istallation steps taht are outlined on http://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/RNA/INSTALL.html. During the make phase of the installation procedure I got the following error that I cannot interpret: g++ -g -O2 -L../g2-0.70 -L../../lib -o RNAforester Arguments.o glib.o main.o ppforestbase.oprogressive_align.o rna_profile_alignment.o rna_alignment.o rna_algebra.o rna_alphabet.o rnaforest.o rnaforestsz.o rnafuncs.o rnaforester_options.o wmatch.o -lg2 -lRNA /usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: skipping incompatible ../g2-0.70/libg2.a when searching for -lg2 /usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lg2 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[4]: *** [RNAforester] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/mauede/Desktop/ViennaRNA-1.8.3/RNAforester/src' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/mauede/Desktop/ViennaRNA-1.8.3/RNAforester' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mauede/Desktop/ViennaRNA-1.8.3/RNAforester' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mauede/Desktop/ViennaRNA-1.8.3' make: *** [all] Error 2 I see there is a library incompatibility that I do not know how to make up for.

[opensuse] pppd[0]: Serial line is looped back. --> Connection terminated.
by David C. Rankin 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Listmates, I have a server (Box 2) that has a modem that is configured to act like an "ISP" and accept dial-in connections and start a ppp session to provide an internet connection to a user that has dialed in from Box 1 by giving the user the ability to access the internet through the broad-band connection the server has. For years this has just worked on 10.0 and 10.3, now for some reason I can't make it work anymore on 11.0. To help visualize the simple setup here is an attempt at an ascii drawing: |----------------| |---------------| | Client - Box 1 | | Server - Box2 | | openSuSE 10.3 | | openSuSE 11.0 | | | Serial Con. | | | Internal |<----------->| Internal | | Modem | | Modem | |----------------| | | Internet | Broad Band |<----------> | eth0 | |---------------| Box 1 uses wvdial and kinternet to connect to Box 2. There is no problem connecting, but for some reason ppp acts like it has lost its mind and finally terminates the connection. I can dial in with minicom and work on Box 2 without any problem and I can use lynx to access the net, etc.. but for some reason I cannot get ppp to work over the "Serial Con." link shown above. I have tried just about ever combination of option in /etc/ppp/options and /etc/mgetty+sendfax/login, to no avail. A summary of what the kinternet log shows is: SuSE Meta pppd (smpppd-ifcfg), Version 1.59 on lakehouse.

On the server, I have tried every conceivable combination of setting in /etc/ppp/options /etc/ppp/options.ttyS1 and pap-secrets (which isn't needed with the -chap +pap login setting), but ppp still doesn't play nicely. The current options and option.ttyS1 configs are: [17:44 nemesis:/etc/ppp] # nc options debug kdebug 7 noauth crtscts lock modem asyncmap 200a0000 netmask 255.255.255.0 nodetach lcp-echo-interval 30 lcp-echo-failure 4 lcp-max-configure 60 lcp-restart 2 idle 600 noipx file /etc/ppp/filters proxyarp login ms-dns 192.168.7.15 ms-wins 192.168.7.15 [20:11 nemesis:/etc/ppp] # nc options.ttyS1 nemesis:ppp0 dnsaddr 192.168.7.15 192.168.7.65:192.168.7.66 I have tried both mgetty and faxgetty options in inittab, and faxgetty works fine to pass control to mgetty. The current inittab is: # modem getty (commented out) # mo:235:respawn:/usr/sbin/mgetty -s 38400 /dev/ttyS1 # fax getty (hylafax) (currently used) mo:35:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/ttyS1 The mgetty.config is: [20:11 nemesis:/etc/ppp] # nc ../mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config debug 4 fax-id 936 715 9339 speed 38400 port ttyS1 direct y toggle-dtr n The /var/log/mgetty.ttyS1 shows the following for each connect attempt: 09/09 17:45:11 yS1 mgetty: interim release 1.1.35-Feb22 09/09 17:45:11 yS1 WARNING: parent process not init(pid=1), but pid=12766 (/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/ttyS1) 09/09 17:45:11 yS1 check for lockfiles 09/09 17:45:11 yS1 huh?

If I just use mgetty instead of faxgetty, then the connection fails stopping at the "waiting..." prompt above. I don't know if that is the root cause of the problem, but I'm not sure what to change to test it. All of this used to just work on my 10.0 and 10.3 boxes, but for some reason I am pulling my hair out with the 11.0 configuration. The adaptive answer part of the fax config is working fine as evidenced by the recognition of the "data" call received, but I am stumped as to why ppp doesn't give a good connection. I somebody has a working config for hylafax + dail-in ppp, I would sure appreciate some help with the configuration. The frustrating part is that I know it will work because I have done it before, but now something is amiss. Lastly, yes, /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is set to 1 and I have tried the gettyargs of: #GettyArgs: "-h %l dx_%s" GettyArgs: "-r -b -s %s %l" and still nothing.
