[opensuse] Telstra Nextg usb301 serria modem troubles
by doodli 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

Can anyone tell me if what Telstra has told me is true. I got a Sierra USB 301 wireless modem, it will not work while a network card is active, meaning I can not share it across the home network. Telstra tec said this is correct and if I want to use the card I will have to get a home gateway, which they will sell me for $299. Now I suppose to spend 10 times the price I paid them for the modem just to be able to use it poperly. No thank you. So the question is if this true and if so is ther some way arround it. I'm not interested in changeing to wireless lan here because of distances and walls between systems. So, any answer good people? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Nepomuk , cryptic error informatiom
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

After I have been pestered long enough by Nepomuk, even if it should not work, I finally decided to let it run. Problem up to now, the results of the akonadi test which can be only dealt with by closing the info window after which I have to restart KMail again. Now the box of Nepomuk is ticked and I would expect to get the akonadi/nepomuk thingy to work. I still get the akonadi test with the info that there is an error after which I have to close the program and restart kmail in order to write this email to the list. The error information is as follows: 100813 13:18:08 [Note] Plugin 'ndbcluster' is disabled. 100813 13:18:08 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 548330 100813 13:18:08 [Warning] Can't open and lock time zone table: Table 'mysql.time_zone_leap_second' doesn't exist trying to live without them 100813 13:18:08 [ERROR] Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.servers' doesn't exist 100813 13:18:08 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: ready for connections.

[opensuse] OpenSuse 11.3 is what?
by Frans de Boer 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

Dear reader, I tried upgrade and also several fresh installs to no avail to get it working like I expect it to be. Using Suse since version 7.3 I have seen some versions which should never have seen the light of day. I fear 11.3 is one of them. Problems I have: - Thunderbird - does not connect anymore to my server (11.2 still does). - Dependencies during install upon some weird or unexpected libraries. - Resolution setting using NVIDIA (256.44) (or Nouveau) driver using CTRL+ALT+[-|+] does not work unless I copy the xorg.conf file from 11.2 - Default nouveau driver can only be removed making a new initrd file. - Sometimes the system is verrry slow to respond to any kind of user input. (11.2 with 2.6.34.2 kernel reacts normally). I have the notion that the 2.6.34-12 kernel is the one with the (now resolved) 2.6.35 problem. It's not an accident that the 2.6.34-git12 files have been removed before. Looking at he postings it strikes me that there are far more questions from other people then in the same period for 11.2. Oh yes, memtest86 is not working for me under both 11.2 and 11.3 when started from hard disk (error 15 whatever that means). It does, however, work correctly from DVD. If memory serves me correctly - the last disasters I had encountered where 10.2 and/or 11.1. I think I wait for a full upgrade on 11.3 (maybe 11.4) before wasting my time again. Kernel 2.6.35 works even under 11.2 although some other software like DazukoFS needs some tweaking. For now, I stick to 11.2 with the newest libraries and software (mostly) manually compiled and installed because 11.3 cost me to much time. Oh yes, I used 11.3 RC1-3 before within a VM using Qemu and KVM without problems. But of course, no real hardware and many (graphical) functions missing. However, it was NOT slow and/or stalling. My basic hardware: AMD Phenom II X965 with 8GB, NVIDIA 9600GT, Gigabyte 790xta-ud4 MB.

[opensuse] 11.3 - On startup, CD/DVD spins continuously, does not mount
by A.S. 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

When I power on while a disk is in the CD/DVD drive, the disk spins continuously and does not mount. It will spin until I eject it or turn off the system. If I eject and reinsert, then the filesystem on the disk will mount. This is happening on both machines that I have installed 11.3 on. Any ideas?

[opensuse] Kmail not retrieving all POP3 emails
by ianseeks 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

HI I've just logged into my webmail to find i have 32 emails going back over a 2 year period. Some of them have been retrieved by kmail and some haven't. Is there anyway to force kmail to re-attempt getting the ones that haven't been retrieved? Currently it checks the mail box but ignores them. regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Stuck in Yast software manager forever!!!!!
by Greg Freemyer 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

Okay, I guess its time to troubleshoot this some. I've had a situation on my desktop pc that with oS 11.3 when ever I install a package via yast, after the install completes it loops back around and I have to abort the install the next time around. Easy enough, so I've ignored it. But I just had a KDE crash. I told Dr. Kongi to install the debug rpm's. It seems to have done that at least once, but now it is apparently stuck in an infinite loop of doing the debug package installs. And when I try to abort, it does so, but just restarts the install again. It's been installing for a couple hours now. I imagine I could easily use ps to identify and kill the Dr. Kongi, but I'd rather see I can fix my config so this doesn't happen again. Any ideas?

[opensuse] Problem with Dolphin mounting NTFS drives
by C 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

I've seen this before, and it's reared it's head again on my oS11.3 install... I cannot mount fixed NTFS drives in Dolphin. If I click the drive it just errors out with the usual cryptic error message: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed auth_admin_keep_always So.. that's nice and all, but what's the "right" solution to sort this out? I haven't changed or tweaked my HAL policy settings... they are the defaults from the 11.3 install. I've dug up a few things in Google such as this forum entry... which suggests it's an openSUSE issue: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=89552 I've also read several forum entries where people have compared other non-openSUSE KDE installs in similar conditions, and the problem seems to be occurring in openSUSE... but not really anywhere else. Any ideas? I suppose I could define the drive in my fstab, but I'd prefer not to... I'd rather mount it only when needed... just like I do with USB drives.

[opensuse] Nvidia card is not recognised with GoogleEarth
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

Having some time on hand I decided to install GoogleEarth on my fully updated 11.3 machine. I had a working GoogleEarth on the 11.2 but as I seldom make use of the 11.2 I thought it a good idea. Download and install was without problems. Running it gave me an error information. GoogleEarth did not recognize your graphics card. It make of course the showing of the earth and maps not possible. I have a Nvidia Geoforce2 MX/MX400 for which I automatically got the following files installed: nvidia-gfxGO1-kmp-default nvidia-settings nvidia-texture-tools vpau-video-nvidia x11-video-nvidiaGO1 I tried to use nvidia-xconfig but this program makes a xorg.conf file after which no X11 is able to run. The kernel seems to completely taken over my nvidia card. Do not know why GoogleEarth does not find my video card. Should I try to use nuvo?
