[opensuse] kernel panic
by Bob S 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Hello SuSE people, On my old 64 bit 10.3 OS version something strange has happened. Won't boot with a kernel panic. The message is "bin/run-init /sbin/init Permission denied" and then I get a kernel panic. Googled it to no avail. Why? What could have happened to cause this?

[opensuse] This dolphin bites
by Mike Grau 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

OS: Linux 2.6.27.25-0.1-default x86_64 System: openSUSE 11.1 (x86_64) KDE: 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0) "release 152" Using Dolphin, I right click on a file bringing up the context menu. I select "Rename ..." and rename the file. The file appears in Dolphin with the new name and a "ls" at the command line shows that the file has indeed been renamed. Why then in Dolphin when I drag (copy) this file to another folder (local or remote) does it place the file in the directory with the old name rather than the new name? Is this A known bug that has been addressed? An isolated problem with my machine? A feature by demented design? The product of an embedded decision engine in Dolphin? The result of a secret grant or infiltration by MS? I won't go into how hard this bent me over at work ... off now to buy lubricant. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Yast and zypper NOT reporting same packages available? (zypper locks broken?)
by David C. Rankin 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Listmates, I have been using zypper from the command line to update exclusively for quite a while. However, recently zypper has been acting pretty sick concerning respecting locks on packages and in fact refusing to set locks. So tonight, the zypper up showed the following updates: 17:28 alchemy:~> zu Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... The following package is going to be upgraded: opera The following NEW package is going to be installed: compiz-plugins-extra Overall download size: 10.4 MiB. After the operation, additional 8.4 MiB will be used. Continue? [_yes_/no]: no The update was canceled because I don't want the compiz 8.2 packages, and in fact I have specifically locked compiz (each individual package) with: # zypper al <package name> All zypper shows as far as locks go is: [20:26 alchemy:/usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64] # zypper ll # | Name | Type | Repository --+-------------+---------+----------- 1 | compiz | package | (any) 2 | kdiff3-lang | package | (any) I have added way more locks than 2, but yet all zypper shows as locked are the two above? Example, locking the madwifi package does nothing: [20:27 alchemy:/usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64] # zypper al madwifi [20:37 alchemy:/usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64] # zypper ll # | Name | Type | Repository --+-------------+---------+----------- 1 | compiz | package | (any) 2 | kdiff3-lang | package | (any) Regardless, faced with zypper's lack of respect of prior locks, I fired up yast-> software management and found: 44 packages to update: 1251930897 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:34:57 PM CDT) madwifi-devel 1251930902 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:35:02 PM CDT) madwifi 1251930983 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:36:23 PM CDT) opera 1251931001 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:36:41 PM CDT) libdvdnav4 1251931010 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:36:50 PM CDT) mp3blaster 1251931017 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:36:57 PM CDT) alsaplayer 1251931024 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:37:04 PM CDT) libtheoraenc1 1251931028 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:37:08 PM CDT) libtheoradec1 1251931031 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:37:11 PM CDT) libfaad2 1251931038 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:37:18 PM CDT) yasm 1251931046 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:37:26 PM CDT) libtheora0 1251931050 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:37:30 PM CDT) liboil-0_3-0 1251931054 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:37:34 PM CDT) libavutil49 1251931059 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:37:39 PM CDT) libamrnb3 1251931064 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:37:44 PM CDT) libcaca0 1251931068 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:37:48 PM CDT) xvid4conf 1251931072 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:37:52 PM CDT) libamrwb3 1251931076 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:37:56 PM CDT) libspeex1 1251931090 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:38:10 PM CDT) mjpegtools 1251931106 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:38:26 PM CDT) perl-libintl-perl 1251931128 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:38:48 PM CDT) rar 1251931132 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:38:52 PM CDT) python-kdebase4 1251931139 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:38:59 PM CDT) kde4-webkitpart 1251931145 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:39:05 PM CDT) silc-toolkit 1251931177 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:39:37 PM CDT) binutils 1251931183 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:39:43 PM CDT) libdvdnav-devel 1251931187 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:39:47 PM CDT) libschroedinger-1_0-0 1251931191 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:39:51 PM CDT) xmms-faad2 1251931197 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:39:57 PM CDT) yasm-devel 1251931200 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:40:00 PM CDT) libswscale0 1251931203 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:40:03 PM CDT) libpostproc51 1251931205 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:40:05 PM CDT) amrwb 1251931208 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:40:08 PM CDT) faad2 1251931211 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:40:11 PM CDT) speex 1251931215 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:40:15 PM CDT) libsilcclient-1_1-3 1251931224 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:40:24 PM CDT) libsilc-1_1-2 1251931260 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:41:00 PM CDT) binutils-devel 1251931273 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:41:13 PM CDT) libavcodec52 1251931317 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:41:57 PM CDT) libpurple 1251931328 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:42:08 PM CDT) libavformat52 1251931332 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:42:12 PM CDT) k3b-codecs 1251931352 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:42:32 PM CDT) transcode 1251931361 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:42:41 PM CDT) libavdevice52 1251931365 (Wed 02 Sep 2009 05:42:45 PM CDT) libffmpeg0 WTF?

What gives? I can't think of anything I can be screwing up. I mean you either issue: # zypper up from the command line, or use yast software management and choose: Packages -> All Packages -> Update if Newer Version Available both should do the same thing right?? -- David C.

[opensuse] lm.sensors question
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

I am running a fully updated 10.3 KDE on my Thinkpad (Pentium III). Upgrade to 11.1 on the way. I ran sensors-detect but no sensors are detected. I have searched on the net, read the manual etc.. but did not come up with a sensor type. Is there some command to get this sensor type? I remember that in 10.1 or so I had some sensor readings, especially a temperature reading in gkrellm. Would like to keep an eye on the temperature again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] System tray functionality in KDE4.3
by Bogdan Cristea 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

I am pleased to see that the System tray functionality in KDE4.3 is similar with what I had in Windows: unused icons can be hidden. This makes more space for the main Task Manager panel. A good job of KDE devel team. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Local cache of updates, installed programs in openSUSE
by Jay Mistry 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Is it possible to have a local cache/ "repository" of all - 1) Updates (Critical, Security, Bug-fixes), and 2) Additional installed rpm's (that were installed through Yast / PackageKit), e.g. Opera, Adobe Reader, VLC Player, etc. so that I do not have to download all those again (800 MB + D/L) This is similar to the 'aptonCD' package in Ubuntu (http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs (you choose the type of media) with all of the packages you've downloaded via APT-GET or APTITUDE, _creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers._ _APTonCD will also allow you to automatically create media with all of your .deb packages located in one specific repository, so that you can install them into your computers without the need for an internet connection._ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks, Jay Mistry -- Linux User 483705 | openSUSE 11.1, Ubuntu 9.04 (i686) w/ Win XP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
