[opensuse] xulrunner 1.9.2.10
by Stan Goodman 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

I now have two systems (11.1 and 11.2) in which Firefox has been updated and now wants the Subject package to be installed. I have found it in Packman; attempts to install it produce a very long list of dependencies that need to be satisfied (some of which, on first glance, lead into a closed loop. That suggests that I am going about this in the wrong way, and that there must be an easier approach. What is the right way to get this package installed so that Firefox will be happy and the rest of the pending updates can be completed? -- 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

download.opensuse.org, en.opensuse.org were down but now appear to be back. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php:/applications/openSUS… is gone, at least openSUSE_11.2 portion http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Backports:/2.30/openSUSE_1… is empty http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Apache:/Modules/Apache_openSUSE_1… is gone, but there is now: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Apache:/Modules/openSUSE_11.2/ are they the same? what is happening? If this is to be, then we need a central location where these changes are announced and a searchable history maintained. -- 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

[opensuse] Adobe Releases 64-bit Linux Flashplugin at AdobeLabs
by David C. Rankin 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Guys, It's here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html Question? Is it better to put it in /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so and link everything to it there, or is the better choice to put it in /usr/lib/flash-plugin/ and link to it there? (or is it a who cares issue as long as your consistent?) Currently I have: 12:15 alchemy:~/suse/pkg> sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser-plugins 12:16 alchemy:~/suse/pkg> sudo ln -s /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so 12:17 alchemy:~/suse/pkg> l /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10601968 2010-09-16 12:16 /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so* 12:17 alchemy:~/suse/pkg> l /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 2010-09-16 12:17 /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so* 12:17 alchemy:~/suse/pkg> l /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2010-08-13 02:54 /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so* 12:17 alchemy:~/suse/pkg> l /usr/lib/opera/plugins/libflashplayer.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2010-09-09 16:01 /usr/lib/opera/plugins/libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so* -- David C.

...which makes me anxious to see it under opensuse (due in 11.4?). If your mailer balks at the length of the link, you'll have to patch it together, I guess. 1. High performance 2. very stable (16000 bugs fixed since 4.4!) 3. Activities -- he loves it 4. Desktop effects 5. Window tiling 6. Notification area much improved 7. Netbook interface 8. Plasmoids are now very stable and extremely useful 9. Applications are vastly improved and _much_ more stable 10. Good-looking He expands on each of the reasons in this pdf.

Re: [opensuse] iphone filesystem support in 11.3?

Better phone, more open. No antenna problems. Well... its a version 3 iphone. On my 11.2 box, it is not mounted anywhere, certainly not under /media (here I run fvwm) I just installed an 11.3 laptop - set it to use LXDE to start with. In LXDE, plugging in the iPhone caused a popup which offered me to "open" the device in the filemanager (among other things). Doing so showed me an empty Photos directory - even though I have two photos in there. Any recommendations on how to mount that thing on the CLI? (Yes, someday I'll switch to an Android...) Thanks to those who have responded.

[opensuse] xfs no space left?
by Dave Howorth 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

I have an XFS filesystem that appears to be giving me false "No space left on device" errors. It's the first time I've used XFS so I'm not familiar with its foibles. Can anybody point me to a good explanation/solution? The filesystem is in a 2 TB LVM and according to df there's 662 GB space free: /dev/mapper/vg--storage-lv--data 2.0T 1.4T 662G 68% /nfs/scop4/data There are a quite a few directories in the filesystem. Some of the directories contain many millions of files and some directories consist entirely of symlinks, if any of that's relevant. The filesystem is on a newish machine running openSUSE 11.2 and the data is being mirrored from an old machine that uses a reiser filesystem and which stores the data without problem. The errors look like: cp: cannot create symbolic link `/nfs/scop4/data/trembl/xml/releases/2006-01-10/Q6RXU6.xml': No space left on device and later cp: cannot create directory `/nfs/scop4/data/trembl/xml/releases/2006-01-24': No space left on device Any pointers would be helpful.

[opensuse] webpin in 11.2 yast
by Dave Howorth 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

If I run a search for brlcad on 11.2 at software.opensuse.org, it finds it in Education/openSUSE_11.2 If I run webpin in YaST it says "No packages matching entered criteria were found" Should they return the same results?

[opensuse] ACPI regression from 11.2 -> 11.3 on GA-MA770T-UD3P
by Nick LeRoy 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

Hello, I'm hoping that some kind soul can help me diagnose what's going on here, or at least point me to another resource. Several weeks ago, I upgraded (first via zypper dup, then with a re-install) from 11.2 to 11.3 on a system with the above mobo. Since then, I've encountered all kinds of difficulties that I now believe to all be ACPI related. Note the the system had been very stable running 11.2, but I wanted the new Xorg driver for my ATI 4350 card so that I could take advantage of the accelerated driver and associated eye candy. Initially, I noticed network problems, and kernel messages in /var/log/messages with CPU#n suck messages. I've attached a snippet below. Aug 13 13:30:02 faramir kernel: [ 4331.903317] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 139s! [swapper:0] I eventually noticed that *most* these included the rtl8169 in the call stack. After some Googling, with no luck, I picked up a used Intel 82545GM from eBay to replace the built-in RealTek - it's a better chipset anyway, right? Well, after this, the above error traces went away, but not all of the bad behaviors. Remaining were the very long boot times (10 minutes) and random system hangs (5-30 seconds). I discovered that any keypress (i.e Num-Lock) would "unstick" the system, I surmised by generating an interrupt. Since then, I've been trying to play with combinations of ACPI=xx APM=xxx and pci=noacpi. After many experiments, I've the only combination that I could find that would make my system run well is "apm=off pci=noacpi acpi=off" -- in particular, "acpi=off". I've tried other ACPI options, but, at least so far, to no avail. The main downside that I've discovered to "acpi=off" is that my 4 CPU cores (AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 925 Processor) are pegged at 2812.342 MHz, with my CPU fan running full-tilt to keep 'em cool. I've also attached the output of 'lspci' and 'dmidecode'. Let me know if there's anything else that I can provide, as well. Just for the record, I'm certainly *not* a newbie, and I'm willing to experiment and/or debug. Thanks in advance, -Nick
