[opensuse] curious zypper suggestion
by Roger Oberholtzer 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

On 11.2, I am messing about with some apps that can easily die. Nothing new there :) In a recent interaction, when an app crashed, I got the following listed: Missing separate debuginfo for /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 Try: zypper install -C "debuginfo(build-id)=df6dcedfbde83400310437f8f22b91b8754d551d" This was listed for each library used in the application. I do not have any debug libraries installed. I am guessing this is suggesting that I can get these installed with the suggested command. My question is: what would this accomplish? Would it simply install the debug packages? Or would it install some other useful debugging info?

[opensuse] Unset the Remeber Password (forget password) in ksesu
by ritchie 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Seasons felicitations list mates, I was careless recently. I needed to install some software for my daughter, and when she was logged in I ran Yast, up popped Kdesu (as normal) I typed the root password and pressed OK. To my horror, after I pressed the OK button, I noticed that the "Save Password" check box was checked. Doh! My 12 year old daughter can now run yast at any time without entering a password. Obviously I feel like a right knob for not being more alert and causing this less than ideal situation. I have been unable to find the solution to "How to I get kdesu to 'forget' the password?" Any help would be gratefully received. Kind Regards Ritchie OpenSUSE 11.2 Emerald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] backups choice
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Have to admit that I am do not backup on regularly. There are some files, especially photos, that I save on cdrom but everything else I leave to the chance that something happens to my hard drive and I loose all my setups and personal files. I want to change that. Its one of my good intentions for 2011 ;) . I want to use a 2Gb usb stick. Looking into the backup programs in Yast I am really confused which of the programs would be best suited for me. The usb stick should not be inserted all the time.

[opensuse] Nicely surprised...
by Insomniac 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

For the first time since using SuSE/Opensuse since 7.3, tonight when I fired up my system I *finally* got to see the moving penguins walking back and forth on the start-up screen in snow and ice (the screen where I choose which 'system' to start, like regular 11.3, or failsafe, or floppy, etc). I thought there was supposed to be a more 'christmasy' theme to it, but this was good enough. I'd waited 10 years just to be able to see this happen after hearing others getting to see it and trying all the posted ways to supposedly make it happen (which none ever worked). Anyway, it was nice to see it and thought I'd just let everyone know. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] BadDrawable crash in KDE4, but not FVWM/Gnome
by Myrosia Dzikovska 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Hello, I am having a strange X crash that seems to happen in OpenSuse 11.3 KDE4 only, but not on FVWM or Gnome, and no easy way to figure out a minimal example. Here's the situation. We are developing an in-house C application that relies on a semi-standard toolkit, HTK. That toolkit has built-in code which displays some windows using standard X libraries. This code runs perfectly fine on Gnome and on FVWM on my system. But under KDE4, it crashes with the following error message X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 62 (X_CopyArea) Resource id in failed request: 0x5c00014 Serial number of failed request: 271 Current serial number in output stream: 415 This seems to happen at the time when it creates one of its windows. I tried to create a minimal example, but that didn't go well: I know exactly nothing about X windows programming, and trying to deal with the code base has thousands lines of code spread between 30 or so files. Everything works just fine on other window managers/Linux versions, so it seems to be specific to the KDE version of 11.3. There is an OpenOffice KDE crash filed against OpenSuse 11.3, with similar symptoms, but the suggested solution is switch off OO-KDE integration, which is of no help for me. Without a minimal example, I don't see how to sensibly file a bug. If anyone can suggest what things I could check for to isolate this problem, this would be much appreciated.

[opensuse] Can't login -> 'Module is unknown' - libresmgr.so.1 invalid ELF header?
by David C. Rankin 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Guys, Here is a new one for me. I have an (old) backup box running 10.3 that needs an update, but I have to get it to boot first. Currently, the box looks to boot normally (it boots to runlevel 3). The only process that shows a fail is 'resmgr'. At the login prompt, I type my name and pw as normal, then the following occurs: You have new mail. Module is unknown Welcome to openSUSE 10.3 i586 -- Kernel 2.6.22.19-0.3 default (tty1) login: I get thrown right back to the login prompt. So I know I'm sitting there looking at a 100% running system (samba, apache2, postfix, mysql, all running just fine...), but I have no way to login. Looking at the error with resmgr, I see the following boot message: ... lib/libresmgr.so.1 invalid ELF header Huh? I know it is close to Christmas, but I don't need any invalid elfs in my box. Bahumbug... So googling ELF it's some Extended Language Facility, but what I don't know is "is this related to the problem logging in?" If so, how do I fix it? I thought about booting from the install media and then chrooting the install, but if I can't log in, I'm not sure that will work. (I'll try later regardless) Bottom line - if libresmgr.so.1 has a bad ELF header can that be the cause of the no login? If so, how best to fix. Boot from install, chroot & reinstall resmgr?

[opensuse] 11.2, libtool, g++ and dynamic libraries
by Peter Suetterlin 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Hi list, we're having a weird problem here. We want to compile a dynamic library for an image processing program (IDL) which is written in C++. There is a makefile that uses libtool to compile with proper switches: libtool --mode=compile --tag=CXX $(CXX) $(CFLAGS) -o <name>.lo -c <name>.cpp libtool --mode=link --tag=CXX $(CXX) -o libmomfbd.la <names>.lo -rpath $(DLM_PATH) Now this works on a Slackware computer, it creates the dynamic library as .libs/libmomfbd.so.0.0.0 On OpenSuse it doesn't :-(( Some observations: I can replace --tag=CXX with --tag=CC. Then it actually compiles, but the library misses symbols and doesn't load. Compiling with tag CXX does not add the flags -fPIC -DPIC to the compiler options. (the Slackware libtool, which is 2.2.6b compared to 2.2.6 in OS, does add those.) So to get a library, I have to - compile with --tag=CXX - manually add the -fPIC -DPIC flags - use the informational output from 'libtool --mode=link --tag=CC ...' (which will call gcc), replace gcc with g++ and link by hand This is ugly, and cannot be intended. But as I'm no programmer, I might have done things wrong. So my question is: Is something wrong in this setup (which works on another machine), or is libtool with g++ broken in OS 11.2 Cheers, Pit PS: Update: I just saw that OS 11.3 uses libtool 2.2.6b, so I installed that (plus libltdl7) for a test. Same result - no lib, and also the PIC flags are still not there. So libtool in OS is different from the same version in Slackware? -- Dr. Peter "Pit" Suetterlin http://www.astro.su.se/~pit Institute for Solar Physics Tel.: +34 922 405 590 (Spain) P.Suetterlin(a)royac.iac.es +46 8 5537 8507 (Sweden) Peter.Suetterlin(a)astro.su.se -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
