[opensuse] Problem with NVIDIA GeForce G310M ?
by suse＠blaettner-net.de 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

Hi, friends, Introduction: Bought a new laptop Asus PL30JT-RO030X - unfortunately only with Win7PRO :-(. Wanted to install openSUSE 11.2 and failed at 1st because of a too slow external DVD drive (via USB). With a more modern drive I'd success (BIOS has recognized the drive) and the installation went on without hickups. Problem: Trying to boot the installed system initially it goes as usual (I see the kernel messages during boot flying over the screen). But then - when it comes to the graphical login - the screen goes dark and NOTHING more is happening :-( Analysis: Succeeded in booting a live UBUNTU and could save some logfiles to a stick. I see some error messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log which hardens my suspects it could be a matter with the graphics. Unfortunately I'm (not yet) fit enough to interpret those error messages good enough. The Xorg.0.log and some more logfiles can be found at http://www.blaettner.com/Computer/ - I didn't want to make this mail unnecessarily fat. Some data of the laptop: CPU: Intel Core i5 processor 520UM (1,06 GHz) Number of Processor Cores: 2 Frequency: 1066 MHz Memory: 4096 MB (DDR3-1066) Chipset: Intel HM55 Express Grapics Chip: NVIDIA GeForce G310M (memory 1024 MB) Display: resolution 1366x768 pixels Questions: - Where/how can I change something to adapt the system appropriately before booting? - Are there boot parameters to clean up this problem? Help !!!! Thanks in advance for Your efforts and suggestions! Rolf -- Dipl.phys.

[opensuse] 11.3 RC2 on eee PC 1201N
by Bob Ewart 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

The 1201N has an Atheros AR8132/L1C Gigabit ethernet adapter. This uses the atl1c driver which runs the adapter at 100Mb. Is there a driver to run it at full speed? A Google search couldn't find one. The touchpad should support two finger scrolling, but that option is grayed out. I've tried to run gsynaptics, but it doesn't help. The wireless adapter needs a rtl8195SE driver, which is not available. -- Bob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What is the current setup for 'zypper dup'ing' 11.2-11.3 when it is released?
by David C. Rankin 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Guys, When 11.3 appears, what is the current scheme for using zypper dup to jump versions. Where my notes end are: (1) configure all repositories for the next version; then (2) issue 'zypper dup' to perform the upgrade. That seems a little slim on details. Are there any other recommendation, cautions, etc. that go along with the process. Do the configs in ~/ move OK? Any gotchas? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Update 11.2 -> 11.3 RC2
by Guillermo Ballester Valor 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Hello, This morning I dedided to update one of my systems from 11.2 to 11.3 RC2 (x86_64). It has been the most easy update I've ever done for a SUSE O.S, (since 6.3) :-) The first time I have not needed to select manually wich packages to mantain/supress/update. As expected, I had to delete some Packman/VLC/multimedia packages, but no confict to resolve manually. Good ! Then, no problem at all when installing. Just a question about the time spent in some packages. I observed it also in 11.2 Why a lot of gnome packages take so long time to install?. KDE4 packages are far long faster than gnome to install. Once installed and rebooted, procedded to add some 11.3 repositories. Most of them still are not in wiki and doc pages, but when replacing in '11.2' by '11.3' in 11.2 URLs we get the repositories!. The exception is NVIDIA repository for 11.3. There is still no repo, AFAIK. This time, for NVIDIA and ATI, the things are a bit more complicated because we will need to change the kernel modeset before to install a binary propietary driver. I am wondering if openSUSE will invent an easy way to swich form nouveau to nvidia. It seems openSUSE team has done a good job!.

[opensuse] Xvnc documentation?

Can someone tell me where I can find documentation (man pages??) on the xorg-x11-Xvnc servers that are supplied by default within the xinet daemons? Google searches and YaST is turning up nada so I wonder if I am searching for the wrong thing.... Marc... -- Marc Chamberlin www.marcchamberlin.com A man said unto the universe - "Sir I Exist!"
