[opensuse] Firefox v3.6.3 and Java
by Stan Goodman 15 May '10

15 May '10

The machine is running oS v11.1 x86_64. After updating Firefox from v3.5.9 to 3.6.3 I find that the browser no longer supports Java, that there is no longer a button in the Preferences for enabling Java, and there is no Java plugin in About:plugins. About plugins refers me to mozilla.org, where I am advised to use the (non-existent) button to enable Java. This has to be a bug. As Java is important to me, my workaround is to use Konqueror, which is smart enough not to require a plugin for the purpose; Opera doesn't work either. Is there a way to get Firefox to see Java? -- 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] Someplace openSUSE may want to update
by Roger Oberholtzer 15 May '10

15 May '10

http://linuxfreedom.com/Distros/ has a link to openSUSE 11.1 as the current download. Perhaps this should be updated. I am guessing someone at openSUSE should be the one to linuxfreedom.com as it is openSUSE's decision which version is available here. But I am guessing 11.1 is not the showcase version. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

** Reply Requested by 5/14/2010 (Friday) ** I'm not sure, but I think you can control the CPU usage tunning falicities and priorities in the syslod.conf if this is implemented in syslog, otherwise I recommend you to use syslog-ng Also, I quite sure that this service uses a crypt hash to generate logs and if so this can be very painfull for the CPU's What version of syslogd are you running ? I've foung this link that can clarify for us what was the problem and how as fixed.

Aaaha. Thanks for clarifying. But can i tell rsyslogd that i don*t must use 90% CPU? Sure i have Dualcore. But in my POV it is not needed, that one CPU just works for rsyslogd ;-) -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns open-slx GmbH openSUSE Community & Support Agent openSUSE Marketing Team Blog: http://saigkill.wordpress.com Web: http://www.open-slx.de (openSUSE Box Support German) Web: http://www.open-slx.com (openSUSE Box Support English) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

** Reply Requested by 5/14/2010 (Friday) ** take a look https://secure-www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/server11/i386/rsyslog.… By the way , rcsyslog is an enhanced syslogd supporting, among others, MySQL, PostgreSQL, failover log destinations, syslog/tcp, fine grain output format control, high precision timestamps, queued operations and the ability to filter on any message part. It is quite compatible to stock sysklogd and can be used as a drop-in replacement. Its advanced features make it suitable for enterprise-class, encryption protected syslog relay chains while at the same time being very easy to setup for the novice user. And as we know what enterprise users really need, there is also professional rsyslog supportavailable directly from the source! http://www.rsyslog.com/doc If you are not running any services you may knowm uses rcsyslogd, my sugestion is to kill it. >>> "Sascha 'saigkill' Manns" <samannsml(a)directbox.com> 14 Maio, 2010 >>> Hello Mates, top says me 2620 root 20 0 119m 44 0 S 100 0.0 428:25.50 rsyslogd Does anyone know what this Program is?

[opensuse] Firefox v3.6.3 on 11.2
by Stan Goodman 14 May '10

14 May '10

I am beginning from a fresh install of oS v11.2 (x85_64). The installed Firefox is v3.5.6, I want to update to v3.6.3. As I understand it, is is possible to do this through YsST, but what the repos are offering is 3.5.9. The installed repos are the usual ones plus Packman. Where is the new release to be found? Thing that perhaps my understanding is wrong, and it is not possible to install 3.6.3 in this way, I have also d/l the Linux installation tar.bz file from the Moxilla site, and expanded it. It does not contain installation instructions, and the script file contained in it claims it cant be executed, even by roor, although it is parked executable by all and the owner is the user. -- 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

If you want to change repositories, you need to specify the version explicitly. I.e., you need to use zypper install PACKAGE=VERSION Zypper will ask you to confirm the repository change. Within a repository, it's sufficient to just call "zypper install PACKAGE" to trigger a vendor change. (Needed, for example, if some repository changes vendor names on a whim, as Packman has done in the past.) Since "zypper install" does an rpm update if the package is installed already, that's the right way to do a vendor/repository change from command line. That said, it would be better if one could pass a package name to "zypper dup", for many other reasons, too.

[opensuse] Kernel 2.6.33 Fails to Compile - ifenslave.c
by Pete Eby 14 May '10

14 May '10

Hello, I am trying to build a kernel using the 2.6.33 source tree from kernel.org Multiple attempts have all resulted in the same error. I've tried configuring the kernel both by copying over my existing config (config-2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop) and basing my new config on it, as well as creating a brand new .config via make menuconfig. In either case I get: HOSTCC Documentation/ia64/aliasing- test LD Documentation/networking/built-in.o HOSTCC Documentation/networking/ifenslave In file included from Documentation/networking/ifenslave.c:162: /usr/include/net/if_arp.h:61: error: redefinition of ‘struct arphdr’ /usr/include/net/if_arp.h:145: error: redefinition of ‘struct arpreq’ /usr/include/net/if_arp.h:154: error: redefinition of ‘struct arpreq_old’ make[4]: *** [Documentation/networking/ifenslave] Error 1 make[3]: *** [Documentation/networking] Error 2 make[2]: *** [vmlinux] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.iHnJYd (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.iHnJYd (%build) make[1]: *** [rpm] Error 1 make: *** [rpm] Error 2 I believe that ifenslave.c is part of ethernet bonding, so I disabled this in menuconfig (# CONFIG_BONDING is not set) and tried a new clean build after running a make mrproper and a new config to make sure I had a clean build environment. Still, I get the same error. Tried both make rpm and make - no difference. I even re-downloaded 2.6.33 - brand new fresh copy, no previous config, disabled bonding so I was certain there was no other settings or old build files, etc. -- exact same error. I just don't get it - any suggestions would be much appreciated. I can't imagine what I am doing wrong here. Building this on Suse 11.2 with gcc 4.4.1, no other patches applied, using generic 2.6.33 source tree.
