Bad blocks on a ReiserFS volume. How to retrieve files?
by Silviu Marin-Caea 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

I have a large hard-disk (120 GB) on which some blocks went bad. Now, it cannot be mounted. Attached is what debugreiserfs says. What can I do; I'm newbie to reiserfs architecture. I thought that ReiserFS keeps copies of the superblock or something, like ext2/3 does. reiserfsck says "error occured looks like hardware problem. bread cannot read block 13271040". That's the actual number it displays. PS I have asked the same question on the reiserfs-list, but it's extremely low traffic. Maybe someone here knows more.

Sorry SuSE: 9.1 is Waste of time and money!
by Terje J. Hanssen 17 May '24

17 May '24

I am sorry to conclude that my upgrade from SuSE 9.0 Pro to 9.1 Pro has been waste of time and money for me, so far. The same I have to say about the free SuSE "Installation support". The reason is that my SuSE 9.1 installation only detects 1 of my 3 SCSCI devices (as I wrote in another subject on this forum: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-May/3254.html) Yamaha 4416S CDRW recorder detected HP DVD Writer 100i NOT detected Epson 1640SU scanner NOT detected It's rather stupid. I have installed 9.1 using the DVD disk just in the HP DVD drive, but after the installation of 9.1, the KDE/Konqueror /media/recorder cannot access it and YaST2 cannot install additional software from it. Only one "Cdrecorder" is found in My computer and that is the Yamaha 4416 drive, which the KDE/Konqueror file manager assign as /media/recorder11. I am sure 9.1 is the reason, as I hadn't this problems with 9.0. I have tried both an update and two several new installation of 9.1. Neither SJDS nor Windows on the same multiboot PC have problems to detect these devices. In my opinion SuSE should therefore debug 9.1 better and longer, and not leave the problems to the customers. I see SuSE notes on their web saying that they know SCSI scanners are not detected in 9.1. But regarding my HP DVD writer problem, the SuSE support (as usual) don't take the responsibility and argue that this problem (a combination of IDE disk and SCSI devices) isn't included in their free installation support! This sounds remarkable, and I have never had a modern PC of so simple model or configuration that it has fitted the limited rules for the free installation support. Terje J. Hanssen

Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi all, Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no? end of line Tracer Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash -- ---KMail 1.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

[opensuse] Text entry trouble
by Jim Sabatke 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

SuSE 11.2, KDE 4.3.5 I did a fresh install of SuSE 11.2 a few weeks ago and have been banging my head against walls since. I am experiencing text entry problems. 1. TAB key acts strange sometimes. - In konsole (2.3.1), sometimes tabbing to complete a command does nothing, other times it works like I am used to (displaying a list of possible completions). When tab completion works, the typed characters are displayed as normal black characters on white background. When it doesn't work, the character colors are reversed. When not working properly, if I type and extra space ' ' character, and then backspace one character, then tab completion works. One really odd thing is that I can run several instances of konsole, and tab completion will work on some and not on others. - In gnumeric (1.9.13), tab sometimes will not go to the next field unless an extra space is typed at the end of the field data. Having to type an extra ' ' space character is a recurring theme here. - In gnucash (2.2.9) tab acts the same as in gnucash. In both cases, this never happened in 11.1. - In firefox (3.5.9) tab "sometimes" acts the same as gnucash and gnumeric (above). Also, getting firefox to list possible URL connections from history sometimes requires hitting the ' ' space key. At other times, firefox will display possible completions, but will not tab select them until a space key is pressed. The same behaviors occur in common drop box screens, such as google's search text entry; again a seemingly random behavior. These problems show in many other app's. 2. Spell check and text entry is strange: - In abiword (2.6.8), thunderbird (3.0.4) and emacs (23.1.1) there are several strange things "SOMETIMES" strings are not echoed from the app, but are instead displayed in a small text box that pops up somewhere on the monitor. The text box appears for each string and goes away after the string is completed. "As you type" spell checking is not performed. This problem is really annoying. "SOMETIMES" the strings are displayed on the app while typing, but spell check is not performed until after the string is completed. SOMETIMES "as you type" spell checking works as in previous versions of the OS. The string is underlined as soon as it doesn't match anything in the dictionary. I've tried to google these problems, but the search strings are so common that there are way too hits to be of use. I'm sure these aren't really random happenings, but I haven't been able to see a pattern yet. Any help?

[opensuse] How do I make a Wifi connection
by A. den Oudsten 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

I have been struggling to configure my Wifi connection. I understood from previous threads that I have to remove NetworkManager.state and to do rcnetwork restart to be able to configure the Wifi connection with NetworkManager. This did not lead to success. So now I intend to make a fresh 11.3 installation, remove NetworkManager.state and do rcnetwork restart. Then I'll do a NetworkManager guided install. Can anybody tell me what's wrong in this approach? André den Oudsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] why no "cups" entry in YaST Firewall Allowed Services in 11.3?

In the Firewall Configuration of YaST, the list of services to allow for the External Zone no longer contains "cups". Instead, When setting up the Printer Configuration to accept printer announcements from CUPS servers, YaST pops up a recommendation to open UDP port 631 in the firewall.

[opensuse] zypper up not showing updates that YaST2 does

When I open YaST2 Software Management after a fresh install and after adding a few repos, including Packman, I have about 20 updates, mostly libs, such as libavcodec52 from Packman, preset as automatic updates.

[opensuse] how to diagnose disk-related problem?
by Dave Howorth 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

I have a problem on a new server that I'm bedding in. I'm trying to copy data onto it from an older machine and the new machine is going into a strange 'locked-in' state. I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to investigate the problem. On an old server, there's some data that I want to copy to the new server. The way I'm doing that is to nfs export the data on the old server, nfs mount it on the new server and then use cp to copy it to its new home, something like this: cp -uax /nfs/old-host/data /new-directory I actually have two of these running, for different subsets of the data. BTW, I'm executing all these commands via ssh from my desktop machine. That works fine for a couple of hours and then when I try to execute another command (ls) in another ssh shell it tells me that the new server has closed the connection. The two cp commands are still apparently running but when I try typing ^Z, those ssh sessions are terminated as well. If I go to the new server's screen, it is blank and I haven't found any key sequence that makes anything appear on it (specifically, CTRL-ALT-F1 doesn't, for example). So it's beginning to sound like it's crashed, yes? But it hasn't. The disk activity lights for the drives where /new-directory lives are still flashing and running top on the old server shows me that a couple of nfsd processes are busy and that system is spending a lot of time accessing its disks (there's not much else running) so it seems like the cp processes are still running. At this point I don't see any alternative to rebooting but I thought I'd ask first to see if anybody had any other ideas on ways to gather information? These symptoms have occurred once before. When I rebooted that time, the system came up without one of the data disks - the system said the interface wasn't responding. But when I unplugged the disk and plugged it back in and rebooted, it came back. There was actually a lot else happened at that time, so I can't be sure it was as simple as it sounds. I'll see if the same happens this time. I wasn't able to spot anything useful in the logs and smart said the disk was OK, AFAICT. The new data directory is in an ext4 filesystem in an LVM volume on an mdadm RAID10 all on openSUSE 11.2 so another possibility is some kind of problem in one of those systems. The drive is in a SATA hot swap cage connected to a port on the motherboard; it's a WD RE4 1.5 TB. All ideas gratefully received!

[opensuse] First impressions on OpenSUSE 11.3: 11.0 was better...
by Martin Mielke 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Hi all! it's been a while since I last watched the list and a while since OpenSUSE 11.3 hit the market so I installed it yesterday on my desktop PC at home, the same one I used with OpenSUSE 11.0 + patches before the installation: HP xw4200 (3 GB RAM, 64bit dual-core, etc). It was an installation from scratch so I backed up my account and installed everything as new... the installation process went fine (only an error message for a repository, can't remember which one now, sorry) and the system booted. I've been using SuSE since version 5.3 back in 1995-6 (?) and for the first time in so many years I have to say: I'm disappointed with the final result. Reasons for such a bold statement could be many but here I'll list just a few in random order: * I expected KDE 4.x to be faster and lighter but it's not... maybe the next lines are related to this behavior... please read on. * SaX2 is missing in action - if not, please tell me where to find it as YaST2 can't either. The only way to get a dual-head setup up and running with Xinerama on a supported nVidia gfx card with the latest official nVidia drivers/modules (1) was to dig into forums for infos and using some nvidia-* tools I never heard about before. At least I learnt something new in the meantime :-) although I don't know where/how to activate the 3D acceleration... (1) nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-256.35_k2.6.34.0_12-14.1.x86_64 and x11-video-nvidiaG02-256.35-15.1.x86_64 * some "basic" effects such as the bouncing mouse pointer to provide feedback of an application starting leave a trail across the screen which goes away after a while * similar to the previous point, moving a window across the screen causes the same effect, even with the "don't show contents", etc * in average, the box is much slower when compared to its performance running OpenSUSE 11.0 - even running Folding@Home with 11.0 wasn't that heavy load and it allowed me to run lots of applications, as expected. Changing from one virtual desktop to another or waiting for the menus appearing when you right-click on the Desktop takes ages now... * Kopete, Pidgin and Empathy (haven't tried with aMSN yet) still fail when it comes to using the audio & video features. According to the "About"-menu, those have been compiled in but are shown as grayed out so you cannot select them. No idea why this happens... any library missing? * OpenGL screensavers won't start at all and, as a Hellraiser fan, I'm missing KLament =:-) and many other OpenGL ones... * all the nice Composite effects (wobbly windows, transparencies, etc) are gone and the error message is: --- Compositing is not supported on your system. Required X extensions (XComposite and XDamage) are not available. --- Although I found some links pointing to a solution. i.e.: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=10337 I still can't get them to work.

Example: 11:30 zephyr:/home/backup/rpms/suse11.3> webpin kdelibs3 ... performing request on http://software.opensuse-community.org/ws/searchservice/Search/Simple/openS… results found for "kdelibs3" in openSUSE_113 Now I know kdelibs3 is in OBS, I installed it earlier and I can look at it here: http://opensuse.ca.unixheads.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.3/i586/… but it doesn't show up in webpin.... What's up with that? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.3 - nl80211: 'nl80211' generic netlink not found - Problem
by Alex 05 Aug '10

Hello openSUSE folks, Just did a fresh install of openSUSE 11.3 on my Toshiba Satellite laptop today. Everything works but my wireless connection. I'm using Realtek provided driver for my Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n chipset. It worked perfectly in the previous openSUSE 11.2 installation. I tried to troubleshoot why it isn't working in 11.3 When I execute ifup wlan0 it gives me this type of message: Starting wpa_supplicant nl80211: 'nl80211' generic netlink not found Failed to initialize driver interface I'm using desktop kernel. May be something relevant to my case was disabled in it? Should I change it to the plain kernel? Thank you in advance for any help or hints.

> People's KDE4 attempts fall over whenever they try to force it to be KDE3. Why my attempts over Windows, Gnome, KDE3 and KDE2 do not fail in that case? Only KDE4 is fail. Of course if you use only KDE4's default icon theme Oxygen and do not try to make KDE3 or whatever of it by simply changing the default icons, you'll not spot the fact that the icon theme cannot be changed in KDE4.4.4. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
