[opensuse] Regarding development questions.

28 Nov '11

I wanted to know which ML would be the right one for general software development. I want to dig in more to development, but am very amateur and thus would have various questions. Such as the API, questions about the IDE (KDevelop) etc. I wanted to make sure I didn't inadevertently misuse a ML in this matter. -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Ambassador Ind.

[opensuse] 12.1 and /dev/ttyS# problem with mythtv
by terry 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

For some reason I have problems trying to install mythtv under opensuse 12.1. I posted a similar message in the mythtv forum however I think this is related to some changes in opensuse. ref: opnseuse 12.1 3.1.0-1.2-desktop mythtv 0.24 dct-channel v 1.7 HDPVR Motorola cable box Problem: the channel change script to use the serial port connected to the STB does not work. /dev/tty5 is present, permissions are OK, when call it to change channels hangs before DCT. $ channel -p /dev/ttyS5 -vv 12 cursor moves to the next line and produce no errors and stays there. If I $ channel Communication failed after 5 tries 0 Which show channel is working but /dev/ttyS0 (default) is not connected which is correct. Description. I have a machine with dual boot, having opensuse 11.4 and opensuse 12.1 in two different HD. Everything works Ok under opensuse 11.4 which ruled out BIOS setup as a problem. I did 2 clean installation in 12.1 with the same results. The pci serial card is recognized # dmesg | grep Oxford [ 1.726854] 2 ports detected on Oxford PCI Express device - ttyS5 is present in both - setserial gives the same result in both :~> setserial /dev/ttyS5 /dev/ttyS5, UART: 16950/954, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 18 - the udev info is ALMOST the same in both #udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/ttyS5) every line in both OS is the same with one exception that the following line is present only in 11.4 ATTRS{modalias}=="pci:v00001415d0000C158sv00001415sd0000C158bc07sc00i02" but i do not think makes any difference ? # dmesg | grep serial [ 1.569725] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 1.720562] serial 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 [ 1.752498] serial 0000:07:01.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 same in both OS versions # dmesg | grep tty [ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled [ 1.569725] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 1.711140] 00:08: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 1.720714] ttyS4: detected caps 00000700 should be 00000500 [ 1.720718] 0000:04:00.0: ttyS4 at MMIO 0xfb601000 (irq = 18) is a 16C950/954 [ 1.736566] ttyS5: detected caps 00000700 should be 00000500 [ 1.736579] 0000:04:00.0: ttyS5 at MMIO 0xfb601200 (irq = 18) is a 16C950/954 [ 1.773294] 0000:07:01.0: ttyS6 at I/O 0xd080 (irq = 19) is a 16550A In summary the serial port is recognized and udev produces the device.

[opensuse] Booting with a shell in initrd with systemd
by Javier Conti 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

Hi list, I installed openSUSE 12.1 on an PC-Engines Alix system board, which uses the pata_amd driver to access its compact flash disk. Since I installed the system on a virtual machine before putting the flash in the real hardware, the driver was not included in the initrd image and obviously I couldn't see the disk on the real hardware. Booting the compact flash in the virtual machine and rebuilding the initrd image with the driver included solved the issue. However, I tried quite hard to get a shell early during the boot process, in the initrd environment, before trying to mount anything, but failed. I tried the various "Single", "S", "1", "init=/bin/bash", etc, as in older systems, but none stopped before trying to mount /dev/sda1. Then I tried "systemd.unit=emergency.target", but that didn't stop before trying to mount the disk. Since I'm very new to systemd, I'd like to know how to get a shell as early as possible during the boot process in order to easily troubleshoot situations where rootfs (or even the whole disk) is not accessible at boot time for some reason.

[opensuse] SUSE 12.1 - still "hdd killer bug"? Can't believe it.
by Juan R. de Silva 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

I installed openSUSE 12.1 to give it a try on my Dell Latitude D820 with WD 500G hdd on it. Luckily I checked it almost right away and to my astonishment found that Load_Cycle_Count of drive gets 22 times increase in 15 minutes. The drive APM_level = 254, KDE Power Management settings are all set for Performance. I just can't believe it... This is several years back bug. And it was fixed at least for a couple of years back on all major distributions. I have currently installed on the same laptop: Ubuntu 11.10, Kubuntu 11.10, Xubuntu 11.10, Lubuntu 11.10, Fedora 16, SL 6.1, Majea 1, Debian Squeeze, and openSUSE 12.1. Neither of mentioned, but openSUSE, is suffering from this bug. And yet interestingly enough I do not see any complaints of the sort neither on this list, nor on forums. Folks, what's wrong with me? :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
