[opensuse] Days to go ICON for 12.1
by Roger Oberholtzer 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Any reason why the Days To Go ICON for 12.1 is in: http://counter.opensuse.org/11.4/ and not: http://counter.opensuse.org/12.1/ I could sort of understand the 11.4 as well as the 12.1 one so web sites get the new date without a change. But as the image is usually accompanied by a link to Portal:1x.x, and that would need updating anyway, this is less useful. Portal:12.1 exists. Just curious.

[opensuse] Automount a home directory using LDAP/Kerberos/NFS4
by Johannes Weberhofer 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Hello! I'm currently trying to get the aoutomount-feature on opensuse 11.4 running. LDAP/Kerberos/NFS4 is running fine, but unfortunately I cant get the aoutomount running. Whenever automunt runs, I get the following error: "Syntax error in map near [ home -fstype=nfs4 herkules.test.com: ]" In LDAP I have set the entries below - unfortunately I can't find a good documentation. Any suggestions? dn: ou=autofs,dc=test,dc=com objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: autofs dn: nisMapName=auto.master,ou=autofs,dc=test,dc=com objectClass: nisMap nisMapName: auto.master dn: cn=home,nisMapName=auto.master,ou=autofs,dc=test,dc=com objectClass: nisObject cn: home nisMapEntry: -fstype=nfs4 herkules.test.com:/home nisMapName: auto.master Best regards, Johannes -- Johannes Weberhofer Weberhofer GmbH, Austria, Vienna -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Gnome 3.2 - How can I completely disable Suspend?
by Adam Sailer 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

I've downloaded and installed from the openSUSE-based Gnome 3.2 live disk. Laptop model is Dell XPS M1330 Video is NVidia GeForce 8400M GS Kernel ver is 2.6.37.6-0.7-default x86_64 1 - Nouveau driver TANKS when system goes to suspend. Comes back with black screen and mouse pointer. Must ctrl-alt-backspace to reset X-server. 2 - NVidia driver repository driver ver 275.21 driver TANKS when system goes to suspend. Desktop comes back, but is completely frozen except for the mouse pointer. Must ctrl-alt-backspace to reset X-server. 3 - NVidia's latest driver ver 280.13 causes random lock-ups. Completely unusable. As I have been perusing forums for multiple distributions, I've found that this laptop model apparently has issues with suspend. How can I completely disable suspend?

[opensuse] Port multiplier problem
by Bob Williams 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

I recently bought a Sharkoon SATA Quickport Duo <http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/content/sata-quickport-duo-v2>, which is attached to an eSATA port on a SiliconImage SATA RAID card. I have used this card in the past as an attachment for JBOD SATA drives, which are then assembled into a software linux RAID1 array, but now I just want to use it to connect the above device to the mainboard. The system will only see one drive at a time. If I populate both drive bays in the Sharkoon Quickport, then neither drive is mountable. The Sharkoon information says that two HDD operation via eSATA is only possible when the eSATA controller supports Port Multiplier. The SiliconImage website says that the card, which uses their si3124 chip, supports Port Multiplier functionality. <http://www.siliconimage.com/products/product.aspx?id=27>. My kernel 2.6.37.6-0.7-desktop has the sata_sil24 module loaded. Can anyone suggest a reason why I'm not able to activate the Port Multiplier function? Am I missing something obvious?

[opensuse] where can I change $PATH
by Andreas 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

Hi, I've got an application installed from OpenSuse's repository which is in $PATH. Recently I installed a newer version as binary in /opt. Now I'd like to remove the bin-directory of the older version and replace it with the newer version under /opt. I know I could add the newer bin to $PATH in /etc/bash.bashrc.local but I rather like to remove the old one. I'd like to keep the old binary at least for now so it's no solution to delete the package and let YaST clean up $PATH. Is there a central cfg-file where $PATH is defined? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenSuSE 11.4: E17: menu: YaST (Administraitor Settings) FAILS
by Joe(theWordy)Philbrook 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

OK now while I don't like yast's package management interface, and thus use zypper, there are times when I need yast or yast2 to do something else... Now If I understand correctly yast2 is supposed to be the gui version of yast that required X and yast is the curses equivalent that can be run in a virtual console such as tty1 without X... But while I'm glad that there is a curses equivalent, I find the gui version less confusing. Ever since kde4 proved incompatible with my brain, the only gui's I use are E17 and E16 Or under extreme duress xfce... And by default, I use E17 And if it matters I boot to runlevel 3 and use startx when/if I'm ready for a gui. Though admittedly, most of the time my first user command is startx... E17's applications menu only mentions yast once. And that is at menu->applications->System->YaST (Administrator Settings) Since there isn't a separate choice for yast2 I would tend to assume that the menu choice would actually point at the gui yast2, but I can't prove it. You see when I select yast from the menu, I get a small popup that prompts me for the password. I don't know if it's based on the sudo settings or not but since my sudoers file has "targetpw" on the defaults line it shouldn't matter because it should want root's password. Which appears to be true because if I use my own the pop-up simply exits immediately. But if I enter my root password, some text output that looks like the stdout and/or stderr I'd expect in an xterm if I call a gui application from it. But this text scrolls by so fast I can't read any of it before "Poof" the popup window closes. And yast2 doesn't start. I guess it's possible that it's trying to start the curses version of yast, but in that case it should be opening an xterm to run it in, and that doesn't happen either. I've tried starting yast2 from an "xterm" (actually a "konsole" window, {konsole being one of the few KDE apps I still use in spite of kde4}): I've done this in three ways with different results: su -c /sbin/yast2 which yields over 300 lines of stderr (see http://pastebin.com/AgwCap3W ) and no yast of any kind... sudo /sbin/yast2 which actually starts the curses version in the current konsole window... But if I open a root shell first: su - yast2 I get only about 9 lines of stderr (see http://pastebin.com/CwJtbKLS ) before the gui yast2 control center does actually open a functional window. This bothers me because I much prefer to use either: 'su -c "command arglist"' or 'sudo command arglist' to start an admin level gui than to leave an open root shell that I might forget to close hanging around. And of course because there should be a working yast menu choice in the gui menu on an OpenSuSE system, shouldn't there??? Can anybody tell me how to fix this?

[opensuse] Installing 12.1 Beta
by Johannes Weberhofer 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

I have tried to install the beta version. Unfortunately all I get after the installer copied all the files and tried to reboot: Starting YaSt2 error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (No such file or directory). Therefore installation does not finish and the system does not work at all...
