[opensuse] Why no 11.0 kernel in ../kernel/HEAD?
by David C. Rankin 25 May '10

25 May '10

Guys, I wanted to grab the latest kernel for 11.0 before EOL, but when I checked, somebody has already removed the 11.0 repository from kernel/HEAD. What gives? Where can I get the latest kernel for 11.0 (2.6.32-34) flavor? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

by Rikard Johnels 25 May '10

25 May '10

Running SLED 11 with Gnome. Using Kmail as mail client. Installed Quanta Plus 3.5.9 for web authoring. Now Kmail uses Quanta to open URL's instead of Firefos as i used to. I cant seem to find the place where Kmail stores what software to use. Gnome is set to use Firefox. -- /Rikard Johnels

by Ravi Shukla 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hello mates, I recently switched to linux and to be specific openSUSE :-) . I am just curious about the cool features openSUSE has (I switched to it because of the features) . So I want to know , is there some feature like a really cool login system.Like we see in movies.The one I am talking about is - when you login there is voice saying "Welcome , would you please login" after you are done it says "Thank you sir" . Please dont consider this childish :-) . It would definetly attarct some more people towards openSUSE like me. Waiting to hear from you all soon.

[opensuse] Filezilla and multifuction printer
by Stan Goodman 25 May '10

25 May '10

I use a Brother MFC465cn multifunction printer for scanning, using the Filezilla scanning application. All worked well for several years since I bought the machine, until I sent my first fax message with the printer yesterday. Now an attempt to load Filezilla causes the error message: ***** Error during CMS conversion Could not open scanner ICM profile. ***** This sounds like the very act of sending a fax has concealed the internal scanning profile of the device. How can I find them again? And am I now doomed to having to go through reconstructing the scanner profile every time I send a fax? -- 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] Problem with acroread from konq/dolphin
by Anton Aylward 25 May '10

25 May '10

I have a problem starting acroread from both Konqueror and Dolphin when clicking on a PDF icon. Acroread starts up OK, but then I get a warning window saying Error launching /home/anton/.local/share/applications/acroread.desktop Either KLauncher is not running anymore, or it failed to start the application Well it started the application :-) So I click on OK for that modal dialogue box and ... Acroread starts up again with the same file! I close acroread and now there's another modal dialogue box saying KDEInit: could not launch /usr/bin/acroread I've googled around a but but not found why this nonsense is happening. I also ave Foxit and okular as alternatives This doesn't happen with them. Is there some bad exit code from acroread? -- Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness.

[opensuse] Suddenly mounting and NFS Kernel Server.
by Boyd Lynn Gerber 25 May '10

25 May '10

I am using the same exports file I have for 3 years. I made the mistake of trying the GUI to create a NFS installation source. I removed the only difference which was the last line it added. I copied the 3 year old file back to exports. All permissions are the same. It comes up in yast with every thing looking correct. Even the exportfs without options looks right. But I can not mount any of the exported HD's/Partitions. We had a car take out our electricity pole and all our systems ran aout of power. The only times the system is taken down or rebooted is when a new kernel is installed. I have ran out of ideas to try. Here is a message from trying to mount the drive. ecom4:~ # mount /MNT0 mount.nfs: mount system call failed I have several systems ounting the exported mounts. I did a diff as folllows # exportfs >> /tmp/exported-drives-n-partitions # diff /tmp/exported-drives-n-partitions /tmp1/exported-drives-n-partitions.01dec09 No differences. The export was made after a fresh installation of openSUSE 11.1 coping back the exports file. It has worked till yesterday when I booted the system after a 4 hour power outage. Prior to the boot everything was working. Where else could I find the problem?

[opensuse] rebuilding initrd?
by Leen de Braal 24 May '10

24 May '10

Hi all, Having a problem with a system that will not boot. Reason: mainboard broken and disks are now used on another mainboard, with probably another chipset. It contains a /dev/md0 as root-device, but when booting from the new mobo, md0 is not available. Booting with a rescue CD I can see the raid device /dev/md0 When I do these things after booting a rescue system, it seems to me that the system is the way I want it: ==================== mount /dev/md0 /mnt, mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot, mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys chroot /mnt ==================== What command do I need to rebuild the initrd with the modules now loaded? In /etc/sysconfig/kernel to me it seems to have the modules for the old mobo? -- L. de Braal BraHa Systems NL - Terneuzen T +31 115 649333 F +31 115 649444 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Reboot to Vista does not work
by Marc Chamberlin 24 May '10

24 May '10

Perhaps this should be a bug report, but I thought I would ask first... When I am rebooting via the KDE shutdown menu, and select Vista as my OS that I want to reboot to, it fails. The GRUB boot menu always comes up with my default openSuSE 11.2 selected, and if I am not watching it will automatically reboot back to openSuSE and not Vista, as I had selected... Have I mis-configured the boot somehow or is this a bug? Running under openSuSE11.2 and KDE 4.4.3 BTW FWIW That shutdown/reboot menu of KDE is a PITA. My normal tendency is to click on the down arrow and release the click button, expecting the menu of choices to pop open and STAY open.. Not mean simply reboot. Most menus will open and stay open when the menu pulldown button is clicked... If I want to simply reboot, clicking on the reboot button anywhere else, other than the pulldown arrow should suffice... IMHO that is... ;-) Marc..
