Ahem ... svnversion *is* the standard way. You would have to explain first why you can't use it; i.e., what are your constraints concerning your personal definition of `SVN standard'.

[opensuse] howto - better quick and dirty way to get svn rev of local copy?

by David C. Rankin

Guys, I want a quick and dirty want to get the svn revision of a local svn module. What I'm currently doing is: #!/bin/bash getsvnrev() { msg "Determining SVN revision for $pkgname..." [[ -d .svn ]] && echo $(sed -n '4p' .svn/entries) || echo 9999 } pkgver=$(getsvnrev) It works fine, but is there a standard way (no not svnversion) to read the local version other than the backwards way I'm doing it? -- David C.

[opensuse] adjtime in openSUSE 11.2

by Istvan Gabor

Hello: My system clock tends to stray (1-2 minutes within a week, or so) So far I adjusted the time manually using the command: # sntp -r ntp1.ptb.de then setting hwclock # hwclcok --systohc I would like the system automatically set/keep the time. I also discovered that there is no /etc/adjtime on my system. Is that normal? Where could I find a decent description on how to use 1) adjtime method for keeping time, or 2) sntp in case when the system is turned off and on frequently and is connected to the net occasionally only.

[opensuse] Can't startx without root priviliges.

by lukaspress＠googlemail.com

Hello all, my first mail so hope i'm doing this right. My problem is that I like to boot into rl3 by default, then start Xorg with startx. It doesn't work though, i get errors saying "no xauthority. xxx", "can't find screen.." etc, and that I should set the setuid bit. I can't find log files anywhere to give detail on the errors sorry. xinit gives a slightly different error, but still something about authority/permissions. The only way I can start X from console is either via logging in as the root user, by using sudo, or by switching on the setuid bit on the Xorg binary (which is suggested in the startx error message). So the only sensible way I can get X as a normal user is to set default boot to rl5 in inittab. I'm new to SUSE but not new to gnu/linux, and this doesn't seem like 'normal' gnu/linux bahaviour to me. So is this a problem with my installation (11.4 RC1) or is this the intended behaviour? Guys on IRC seemed to think it was a bug, but if so why the 'informative' error message suggesting I set the setuid bit?

[opensuse] Public openSUSE 11.3 AMIs for Amazon EC2

by James Tan

Hi all, I noticed that we didn't have any public openSUSE 11.3 AMIs for Amazon EC2, so I made some. Please refer to my blog post on the SUSE Studio blog for details: http://blog.susestudio.com/2011/02/public-opensuse-113-amis.html Cheers, James T. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] fglrx-uninstall.sh script in ATI/AMD Driver installer 11.1

by Andi Sugandi

Hello Listmates. Is the uninstaller script available in ati-driver-installer-11-1-x86.x86_64.run package? Because I can not find it: rpm -ql fglrx64_7_5_0_SUSE113-8.812-1 | grep fglrx-uninstall.sh So I think it is safe to remove the proprietary driver only by running through rpm command, right? rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep fglrx) If so, we should update the tutorial describe in the wiki*. We should not necessarily "run any uninstall scripts that ATI provides" anymore, we just can remove it (safely) through: rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep fglrx) , and the user will happier for that sorter steps required.. =) Thanks in advance. *) http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Radeon#Remove_the_proprietary_driver Best regards, -- Andi Sugandi.

[opensuse] How to keep KDE4 from messing with my CD/DVD

by Mark Hounschell

How does one disable/enable KDE4 from controlling my CD/DVD drives? I have some scripts that I run that fail all over the place in run-level-5 running KDE4. Something as simple as the following eject /dev/sr0 eject -t /dev/sr0 mount /dev/sr0 will show no errors but the device will not be mounted when I go to look at the files. My fstab entry is "/dev/sr0 /mnt iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0". If I mount it enough times it eventually mounts. Sometimes when I "eject /dev/sr0" it even closes before I can get my media out. All the problems I'm having are gone if running in run-level-3.

[opensuse] How to build single kernel module

by Malte Gell

Hello, when I built my new kernel I have forgotten to check that my DVB-T drivers were selected.... How can I now just compile these drivers without compiling the whole kernel or all modules? I just select those I need and then? How do I compile single modules afterwards?

[opensuse] Kernel 2.6.38-rc5 and opening LUKS encrypted device

by Malte Gell

Hello, to get my DVB-T stick running i had to upgrade to kernel 2.6.38-rc5 from the Kernel:Head repo. Now, when I open my LUKS encrypted /home partition I always get these messages: Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 5 What does that mean? I still can open the encrypted partition without any problems. Does this message mean there is something going on that might harm the LUKS partition?
