[opensuse] Xlib error during NX client session
by Marco Calistri 06 May '10

06 May '10

Hello list, Using NX Client for Windows to remotely access my OpenSUSE 11.2 Desktop. I get this error: Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":1009.0". Wonder if it depends by client itself, or is something related to lacking of specific package on server? Cheers, -- Marco Calistri <amdturion> DEFAME, v.t. To lie about another.

[opensuse] alt+f2 run dialog
by Tony 06 May '10

06 May '10

I have run into a issue(s) with alt+f2 (the run dialog) When you type stuff into alt+f2, it search(s) as you type and of course suggest links, programs etc. 2 things 1) the run dialog becomes unresponsive, as you type stuff in. If you click on a suggestion, press enter or click on the x (to close run dialog) nothing happens. After a pause it will respond 2) After typing in a command and pressing enter, the command seems to not respond, until I do a alt+f2 again, for example type in yast press enter, nothing happens. Press alt+f2 again, the dialog box for root password shows up. The issue(s) above appear to be random, I've not been able to establish a pattern when it occurs, in most cases a logout / login will fix it, in some cases only rebooting will fix it as well. This started since I updated to 11.2 with kde 4.4.x, anyone run into this and have fix / workaround ?

[opensuse] Using a Vodaphone UMTS stick with Linux/openSUSE
by C 06 May '10

06 May '10

I've got a Vodaphone UMTS USB stick, model K3565-Z that I'm trying to get working with openSUSE and KDE4. I've done some digging, and figured out how to get the USB stick correctly identified as a Broadband device. Plug it in, wait for it to be identified as a ZEROCD device. Open Dolphin and Eject the device. Then it's picked up as a GSM Modem. dmesg reports it as a ZTE CDMA Technologies MSM >From there, I've been able to set up the device in the Network Manager... but that's about as far as I get... I'm not really sure what info is required in the NetworkManager... I can enter: - Number (known if I assume this is the SIM phone number) - Username (not used) - Password (not used) - APN (known, and set to web.vodaphone.de) - Type (set to Any, but can set to 3G UTMS) - PIN (known, provided with the SIM card) - PUK (known, provided with the SIM card) I've connected it in Windows... and it works there, so the device works. Has anyone managed to get one of these things to connect via Linux? C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.2 gadmin-openvpn custom config. problems
by Marco Calistri 06 May '10

06 May '10

Hi all, Wonder why also root can't modify the server.conf file of this openvpn Gtk-Gui: whenever I attempt to execute modifications, both from interface or even directly into the conf file, by vi editor, then rebooting the gadmin-openvpn results in preserving the previous configuration. Same configuration changes unavailability is perceived also from the server.conf tab of gadmin: if you change some fields from Yes to No or vice versa, then these fields back to previous status.

[opensuse] firefox won't start
by Richard Creighton 06 May '10

06 May '10

Ever since updating to >= 3.0 Firefox, I get some variation of the following: rcc@Athelon:~> firefox returned PAC proxy string: direct *** nss-shared-helper: Shared database disabled (set NSS_USE_SHARED_DB to enable). ** (firefox:10537): WARNING **: AT-SPI: Accessibility bus not found - Using session bus. /usr/bin/firefox: line 128: 10537 Segmentation fault $MOZ_PROGRAM "$@" rcc@Athelon:~> Of course, this is from a command line, From the 'kicker', I just get the 'bouncing ball" with no error message, after 30 seconds, it just disappears with no firefox, no message, no nothing. To restore Firefox, I have to reinstall, 2.5.9 or earlier, then, it works again. Installing any version later than that results in failure to start. This is with 11.3 factory. uname -a Linux Athelon 2.6.34-rc5-6-default #1 SMP 2010-04-22 21:18:20 +0200 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Updated 6 May Processor is an AMD 64 running 32bit Dual core mode 2 2G memory, LVM AND RAID 5 (4 drive x 1Tb) + 3 1Tb drives in the / and /home LVM. This all worked in 11.2 and 11.3 M4 and earlier until Firefox was updated beyond 2.5.9. Reverting Firefox causes the segfault to disappear, reinstalling the 3.+ (latest) restores the segfault. Now the squirrel...I have a virtually identical machine int the other room with similar hardware and also running factory, that works! ... but NFS won't run on it!!! The MBd is MSI but the CPU is an AMD...the MBD on this one is an ASUS. I have another one (ASUS) that I haven't upgraded yet...production machine, but another ASUS running 11.2 with no problems. So, far, I'm not sure whether it is the kernel interacting with Firefox or Firefox itself. Any Ideas?

[opensuse] Scanner help
by Koenraad Lelong 06 May '10

06 May '10

Hi, I have an Epson Perfection 2450 Photo scanner. It's connected via firewire. It used to work fine with older Suses using xsane. Recently I installed OS 11.2 64bit. I had to install xsane 32 bit, because the "driver" is 32bit. When I setup the scanner via yast, all seems OK. But xsane can't detect the scanner. When I do scanimage from the command-line (probably with some parameters) I do get something on the screen (a huge number of garbage-charachters) and the scanner moves it's scanning head. What can I do to get xsane working ? Thanks for any pointers. I'll try other scanner-software though, but I'm used to xsane. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] hosed mysql

I have a problem with mysql, I'm getting this error: P-733-Lin:/usr/bin # ./mysql_upgrade Looking for 'mysql' in: /usr/bin/mysql Looking for 'mysqlcheck' in: /usr/bin/mysqlcheck Running 'mysqlcheck'... /usr/bin/mysqlcheck: Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) when trying to connect failed FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed The reason I did this was that I noticed that my mythtv wasn't working and the response that I got from that list indicated this as a solution. So mysql isn't running, and that means mythtv isn't running. What in Puce is this final error that the upgrade failed? What upgrade? I did a security update, not a package upgrade.
