[opensuse] 3ware 3w-xxxx.o kernel module
by Greg Freemyer 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

All, I've got a oS 11.2 machine with an old 3ware IDE raid controller. It runs the drives fine (and has for years), but I need to rebuild the array and admin of the array via tw_cli is telling me to load 3w-xxxx.o == # tw_cli Please load the 3ware controller driver (3w-xxxx.o). == I used to have it on that machine, but apparently no longer. Where can I find it? Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] automatic install of updates for Gnome, but not for KDE?
by Carlos F Lange 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

YaST2 now does not have an "Online Update Configuration" anymore. Where are we supposed to setup automatic update installation? In Gnome there is an item for this in the Gnome Update Applet, but there is nothing equivalent in the KDE Updater Applet. -- Carlos F Lange -- Recursive: Adj.

Has anyone else noted the broken quoting by KMail/1.13.5. Is it a kmail problem or do I have a problem? I see the same display in seamonkey -mail and with kmail 1.13.5 (kmail 4.4.5-234.2) and with mailx 12.2-161.1, and firefox/gmail -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] First impressions on OpenSUSE 11.3: 11.0 was better...

If I want to install 11.0, I'm stuck with whatever comes off the DVD, if I'm not mistaken. This means that should I install 11.3 on my notebook and find, for example, WiFi doesn't work, I'll have to first back up the entire system and then restore, to get the latest updates that are already installed. I believe there's already a thread about IPW2200 not working. IIRC, that's the NIC I have in my ThinkPad. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Repair Tool Box missing in 11.3 ???
by Radule Šoškić 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

While booting from my openSUSE 11.3 installation DVD, I noticed that one option in the main menu is missing. Namely, it's "Repair Installed System" option. It was there up to 11.2, and now it's gone. At least, I can not find it. Anybody knows what happened? Is it really removed and for what reason?

[opensuse] exif and gwenview
by lynn 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

gwenview 2.4.3 using KDE 4.4.4 (from an update 11.2 to 11.3 yesterday) Gwenview will not rotate images using exif information like it used to do in 11.2. It leaves landscape images as they are and gives 'failed to rotate' on any portrait images. Various nikon cameras tried all with the same result. Can anyone help? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Installing OS 11.3 - Partitioning
by Jim Flanagan 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

Greetings all, I have an existing 11.2 install with separate /boot, swap, /, /home, and /var partitions. I'd like to keep this setup, at least for now. I have room on the same disk, but am unsure how to do a new install of 11.3. What I THINK I need is: Set /boot to the existing partition Set swap to the existing partition Set /home to the existing partion Set / and /var to new partitions Is this correct? Will the new install detect and leave a menu item for booting both 11.2 and the new 11.3 install? Many thanks, Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
