Bad blocks on a ReiserFS volume. How to retrieve files?
by Silviu Marin-Caea 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

I have a large hard-disk (120 GB) on which some blocks went bad. Now, it cannot be mounted. Attached is what debugreiserfs says. What can I do; I'm newbie to reiserfs architecture. I thought that ReiserFS keeps copies of the superblock or something, like ext2/3 does. reiserfsck says "error occured looks like hardware problem. bread cannot read block 13271040". That's the actual number it displays. PS I have asked the same question on the reiserfs-list, but it's extremely low traffic. Maybe someone here knows more. Thank you Filesystem state: consistency is not checked after last mounting Reiserfs super block in block 16 on 0x1642 of format 3.6 with standard journal Count of blocks on the device: 29945160 Number of bitmaps: 914 Blocksize: 4096 Free blocks (count of blocks - used [journal, bitmaps, data, reserved] blocks): 29154954 Root block: 14969 Filesystem is NOT clean Tree height: 4 Hash function used to sort names: "r5" Objectid map size 10, max 972 Journal parameters: Device [0x0] Magic [0x34ae2c74] Size 8193 blocks (including 1 for journal header) (first block 18) Max transaction length 1024 blocks Max batch size 900 blocks Max commit age 30 Blocks reserved by journal: 0 Fs state field: 0x0 sb_version: 2 inode generation number: 35482 UUID: 48d29ced-fe37-4c68-adf8-32ace9f2be45 LABEL: Set flags in SB: ATTRIBUTES CLEAN

Sorry SuSE: 9.1 is Waste of time and money!
by Terje J. Hanssen 17 May '24

17 May '24

I am sorry to conclude that my upgrade from SuSE 9.0 Pro to 9.1 Pro has been waste of time and money for me, so far. The same I have to say about the free SuSE "Installation support". The reason is that my SuSE 9.1 installation only detects 1 of my 3 SCSCI devices (as I wrote in another subject on this forum: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-May/3254.html) Yamaha 4416S CDRW recorder detected HP DVD Writer 100i NOT detected Epson 1640SU scanner NOT detected It's rather stupid. I have installed 9.1 using the DVD disk just in the HP DVD drive, but after the installation of 9.1, the KDE/Konqueror /media/recorder cannot access it and YaST2 cannot install additional software from it. Only one "Cdrecorder" is found in My computer and that is the Yamaha 4416 drive, which the KDE/Konqueror file manager assign as /media/recorder11. I am sure 9.1 is the reason, as I hadn't this problems with 9.0. I have tried both an update and two several new installation of 9.1. Neither SJDS nor Windows on the same multiboot PC have problems to detect these devices. In my opinion SuSE should therefore debug 9.1 better and longer, and not leave the problems to the customers. I see SuSE notes on their web saying that they know SCSI scanners are not detected in 9.1. But regarding my HP DVD writer problem, the SuSE support (as usual) don't take the responsibility and argue that this problem (a combination of IDE disk and SCSI devices) isn't included in their free installation support! This sounds remarkable, and I have never had a modern PC of so simple model or configuration that it has fitted the limited rules for the free installation support. Terje J. Hanssen

Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi all, Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no? end of line Tracer Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash -- ---KMail 1.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

[opensuse] Blowing away 11.3
by James Knott 31 May '11

31 May '11

After all the problems with 11.4 and 11.3 on my ThinkPad, I've decided to blow it all away and revert to 11.0. At least that worked well. Problems: 11.4 - unable to use KDE, as system locked up and display faded 11.3, unreliable USB detection. Why no "Safely remove" option? Display often shifted about 1/2" to right, but mouse didn't. Poorer performance. General frustration with KDE 4. As I've often pointed out, since I first saw KDE 4, a few years ago, it needs a lot of work to be anywhere near as useful as 3.5 It would be *VERY* nice if support were resumed for 11.0, which would appear to be the last decent openSUSE distro. My experiences with KDE 4 are almost enough to send me back to Windows!

[opensuse] No DRI in 11.4, using nvidia driver.

[opensuse] [SOLVED] Howto Get Thunderbird to Open Links in Firefox 4
by David C. Rankin 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Guys, Hopefully this will save others the grief it caused me. After upgrade to Firefox 4, clicking links in an email to http:// https:// etc... did nothing. It was a complete PITA copying links from email and pasting them into the browser (middle-click paste anywhere in the page) After looking, I found an answer on the Arch Linux bbs. Basically, in tbird, you must: (1) Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Config Editor: search: "network.protocol", locate: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https ** set each to "true" AND restart Thunderbird (2) send yourself an email with a good link for each eg.: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=115524&p=1 ftp://mirror.services.wisc.edu/mirrors/mysql/Downloads/ (3) click on the link in your email, the navigate to /usr/bin/firefox and choose "[x] remember my selection" or whatever it says; and then links in Thunderbird emails will once again open in firefox as they should. It looks like some links or something were forgotten as part of the FF4 update. Wolfgang - can FF4 be fixed to do this automatically on update? -- David C.

[opensuse] [11.4] proprietary Canon printer driver help needed

[opensuse] first look at 11.4 - livecd

Trying very hard to put aside my anti kde4 prejudice and give 11.4 a fair chance. so i dl'd the kde live cd and booted from it.

Is this due to the nouvew (sp?) driver for the 8600 nvidia card? is the general rather serious sluggishness the result of that driver? if yes, is there a way to upgrade the driver in the livecd session? if yes, can someone please help? thanks in advance, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] x11vnc crashing X
by C 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

I use an ssh tunnel plus x11vnc to remote control my main computer (running openSUSE11.4/KDE4.6) at home. Lately - actually since I've installed 11.4 and the x11vnc from the repos (0.9.12) - when I connect and launch x11vnc, it usually brings down X within a couple minutes. This isn't limited to openSUSE... I've had the exact same issue on Ubuntu 10.10 last week. I've poked around with Google and discovered this has been an on and off issue for x11vnc for a long time, although it's never happened to me until I installed 11.4. So... I'm not particularly hung up on using x11vnc... I just use it because it (usually) works, and it's simple to launch from the command line. Is it worth chasing this issue? or does anyone have a suggestion for a decent alternative? My basic requirements are, I need/want to use an ssh tunnel to my computer, and run the VNC via that tunnel. My VNC session should connect to the existing running session, not start a new session.

Hi, since I installed openSUSE 11.4 sound is stuttering heavily. When the music is playing (e.g. a FLAC file with Amarok), it sounds as if my computer isn't capable of decoding the sound file fast enough. I have the same effect with different media players (Kaffeine, SMplayer, Amarok), Phonon backends (GStreamer, VLC, Xine) and file formats (FLAC, MP3). The same happens when playing a video on Youtube with the Adobe Flash Player within Firefox. I'm running openSUSE 11.4 with KDE and packages up-to-date. Everything worked fine under openSUSE 11.3.

[opensuse] Another NetworkManager problem...?
by C 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

I've sifted through the various 11.4 NetworkManager issues, and didn't find anything like the minor annoyance I'm having. I've got a clean desktop install of 11.4/KDE4 from the 64 bit LiveCD. I've ran all the updates and added a few Community Repos. I've set Networking to use NetworkManager (for a regular wired NIC) - I've done this because I use VPNs, and NetworkManager is a nice easy way to switch VPNs on/off. If the system is set to use ifup, then network is always working on boot. If the system is set to use NetworkManager, then network is not enabled after a boot. If I click on the NetworkManager widget, I have no networking options at all. If I go into the NetworkManager config, I can only access the VPN tab. All other tabs are greyed out. If I go to YaST, Network, and set it back to Traditional ifup, then network comes up immediately. I can then switch it back to NetworkManager, and network stays working, and I've got full access to all features of the NetworkManager until the next logout/reboot when I lose network again until I manually cycle it to Traditional and back to NetworkManager. So.... any thoughts on solving this one? It's a minor inconvenience since I don't restart or logout often, but.... it's something I'd like to resolve if I can.

[opensuse] Font aliases
by Valerio Mariani 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Dear All, it is my understanding that in OpenSUSE 11.4 the Liberation Fonts are used as default fonts and aliased to Sans, Sans Serif and Monospace. I would like to change this to use DejaVu fonts on my system. I know I can change the fonts in the Gnome and KDE appearance panels, and I already did that, but I would also like to change them in the whole system, so that when a 'Serif' or 'Monospace' font is required, it defaults to DejaVu. I read up a bit and I understand that this kind of configuration is in the /etc/fonts/ subdirectory. However, I don't understand exactly where the aliases are defined. It seems to me that the file suse-post-user.conf is where these are defined. However, if I look at the file, DejaVu fonts are already in the aliased lists and are actually higher in the lists than Liberation. So shouldn't they be used as default if available? Nevertheless this doesn't seem to be the case to me. Can someone help me please?

[opensuse] [11.4] only yast printer config can print (& only a test page)
by Felix Miata 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

some installed rpms: cndrvcups-common-1.90-1.i386 cndrvcups-ufr2-uk-1.90-1.i386 cups-1.4.6-6.1.i586 cups-client-1.4.6-6.1.i586 cups-libs-1.4.6-6.1.i586 kde4-printer-applet-4.6.0-3.4.i586 python-cups-1.9.52-4.1.i586 python-cupshelpers-1.2.5-4.1.i586 yast2-printer-2.20.8-2.1.i586 In /etc/papersize and everwhere else I can find I have letter selected as default papersize, and have no other size paper I can use. I have a Canon MF4370dn IP attached printer that works OK usually with my 11.2 using the Canon supplied PPD driver RPM from Canon's UK web site. At the time I bought it a year ago it was the only MF printer I could find that claimed Linux support on the box, but it turned out Canon will not provide support or drivers to owners of this model who live in North America. Today I tried to set it up on an 11.4 system. On first try, YaST2 failed to find any printers, so I tried again and decided I had 2 the same. I deleted them and started over, ending up with only one. YaST2 can print a test page just fine. Trying to print with Konq or Firefox or Gwenview results in the printer reporting unspecified data errors and printing nothing, and a printer queue that resists attempts to delete the botched jobs from it. The document print status applet reports each such job's status as "processing". After cancelling a job the cancelled job seems to want to display in the applet in perpetuity. What I log out of KDE and back in, the previous botched job shows as processing in the printer applet unless I've cancelled it. Is there a way to ensure jobs in process at log out time, done in an attempt to escape from a deranged printer, are not revived when logging back in? Cycling the printer's power, with 5 minutes or more of off time, after clearing the botched jobs, doesn't seem to help either. Attempts to clear bad jobs using the CUPS web page in Konq don't do any better, and require a password to admin the printer even though there are no ordinary users configured on the system. I have to goto /var/cache/cups and delete job.cache before the printer will ever light up again, but this doesn't always work, since /var/spool/cups/* causes job.cache magically reappear whenever it feels like it unless I rccups stop and/or delete /var/spool/cups/*. Rebooting also causes the printer to beep and report data error, and the /var/cache/cups/job.cache file I deleted to be restored, every time I reboot, unless I delete the printer in YaST2 first, or /var/spool/cups/*. O_O Repeating the whole process, deleting the printer, rebooting, configuring a new printer, always produces the same results. Deleting /var/spool/cups/* helps. Apparently selecting to cancel a job in the KDE printer applet doesn't delete anything from /var/spool/cups/. Knowing that is still no help to figure out why YaST2 can print a test page but nothing else I try can print anything. I've had similar trouble getting 11.2 to print in the past, but have no recollection how I got past it. :-( Cups logs: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/cups114-access_log-big31.txt http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/cups114-error_log-big31.txt Nothing I see /var/log seems related.

[opensuse] HP Device Manager on openSuse 11.4
by Jim Flanagan 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

On 2 different 11.4 installs, I selected HP Device Manager for printing. I set up the same network printer. This first box would not print, but the second box would. In any case, when I try to manage a que, or change a printer setting, HP Dev Mgr puts up an error message saying to add user to "lp' group. I did that, and then I said to add user to "sys" group. Now I can manage the printer. But, what are these groups, and is there any security concern having my normal users added to these groups?

[opensuse] 11.4 - madwifi, Why doesn't it respect the network blocks in wpa_supplicant.conf?
by David C. Rankin 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Guys, Here is a strange one. I have used this same laptop with 11.0-11.4. The wireless adapter is Atheros based and uses the madwifi adapter. I have a couple of networks I connect to that don't broadcast the ESSID and to handle this seamlessly without having to reconfigure yast->network devices every time I change between the networks, I have always included the proper network blocks in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. This no longer works in 11.4 and I find myself having to fire up yast->network devices and manually change the ESSID to switch networks (primarily between home and work, but regardless, it is a pain) In wpa_supplicant.conf, your network blocks are simple brace delimited blocks of data each holding authentication information for a particular wap. On network activation, wpa_supplicant is supposed to step though the network block and connect to the one that is available (has best signal, etc...) That isn't happening. For example, in wpa_supplicant.conf, I have: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel network={ ssid="skyline" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK #psk="snipped" psk=snipped } network={ ssid="work" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK #psk="snipped" psk=snipped } Apparently (or something similar to) the ESSID entered in yast->network devices is preventing wpa_supplicant for finding the alternate network when you switch from work to home for instance. (that is -- physically coming home from work and rebooting the laptop at home) Am I missing a new feature or setting somewhere? This was always simple stuff and I never had to mess with Yast when changing networks before. Anybody have any idea why the alternate network blocks in wpa_supplicant.conf are not getting parsed for a connection? What say the experts? -- David C.

[opensuse] The wierd condition of my kde4 addressbook
by Stan Goodman 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

This is my desktop system: oS v11.3 / kde v4.4.4 -- doon to be upgraded to v11.4 /v4.6. Until now, I had thought that Akonadi and addressbook were in reasonable condition: The Kontact Contacts window displays "Personal Contacts" in the left column and a long list of contact names in the center column. When I enter a name in the To field of the Composer window, the corresponding email address is supplied, even for new or revised contacts that were added the same day. But what I have seen "under the hood" makes it hard to see why it works at all. In ~/.local/share/contacts, I find a large number of individual files with cryptic names, not a one of them dated in 2011 (although I add and alter contact details regularly). This is where Personal Contacts should be residing; obviously it is not. In both ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/ and ~/.kde4/share/apps/kabc/ , where the Vcard file should be, there is a file (identical in both), named std.vdc, which is what one would expect to find there. except that its size is 0. It is dated 03/17/2011, nearly two weeks ago, whereas I most recently edited Personal Contacts yesterday and today. And the major question is: WHERE is the file that contains the "Personal Contacts" listing in the middle coloumn? From where does it automatically supply the email addresses of contact names for outgoing messages? (It also knows telephone numbers and other data, of course). If I knew that, I would be able to copy that file in some way to the laptop machine on which I will be relying for two weeks beginning on Thursday. How can I find that file? Repairning Akonadi can wair until later. -- 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

[opensuse] 11.2 does not automount ..

C´mon! I´d really would appreciate some help with this.. 1) Devices are seen by my computer (as revealed by dmesg) 2) I can mount them manually 3) .. however, KDE is not aware of them in any way I am using the device notifyer desktop applet. I have configured it to show "all devices" (i.e. internal hard disk as well) but it only gives text "no devices available". Is this a bug of the applet..? Or something related to dbus / devicekit / etc. thingies? It is funny that the devices do not show in anyway (even the internal hard disk) in the applet. Any way to debug this? Some log file, etc..?

[opensuse] Firefox 3.6.x v. 4.0x - Thoughts?
by David C. Rankin 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

Guys, I hate change for the sake of change. I am on the fence on the "mozilla I want to look like Opera" release. I have both running on different boxes. I don't like the fact that 4 swapped around where the buttons go (you can easily change that), but I do like the opera-like button for bookmarks that is available when the tabs are collapsed. The panorama feature is nice as well, although it is really slow at times. Are there any other technical reasons one way or another that should be considered in deciding whether to removed the lock preventing upgrade to 4 on 11.4? I kind of like them both. I have favorite themes for 3 that of course are incompatible with 4, but that isn't a show stopper. What's the general consensus on power versus usability? The laptop I'm worried about is the 11.4 laptop currently crippled with the Xorg/radeonhd problem, so graphics speed is way down. Anyone else run into speed issues on older hardware?

[opensuse] Lancelot menu colours

I am trying the Lancelot menu with KDE4. The functions seem great, but ... The colours suck! The basic popup appears black text on a mid grey background. The second level appear as grey text on a black background and the text is unreadable -- not enough contrast and too small. I've poked around in systemsettings -> workspace appearance and the settings for 'kickoff' don't affect lancelot -- you might expect that, but there's nothing specific to lancelot. Any suggestions as to where the colour scheme for lancelot is controlled? -- "Nothing is more difficult to carry out, nor more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things." -- Machiavelli -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Return of wireless problem (v11.4) -- with variations
by Stan Goodman 27 Mar '11

27 Mar '11

I needed totest changes in the WIRED setup for the laptop, and therefore disabled wireless operation of the ROUTER I did nothing to any wireless setting of the laptop itself. When I finished, I removed the cable connection, rebooted again, and thought to ascertain that wireless operation was again in order. It isn't. Networkmanager, for example, says that the connection to the AP is "Activating", and the signal is strong. "Enable networking" is checked. "Enable wireless" is also checked, but it is greyed out. In YaST>Network Settings>Overview, both wired and wireless controllers are listed, ONLY when in General Options, ifup is chosen. When User controlled with Networkmanager is chosen, only the wired controller is listed; I do not remember anything like that previously. Also in this case, the lower window in Overview (the description of the wireless controller) is greyed out, as are the buttons for Add. Edit, and Delete at the bottom. I have rebooted several times, without success. For that matter, when a similar problem occured recently and healed itself after a reboot as suggested by another user of this list, I am sure that the successful boot was the first I had tried; in other words, I am not convinced that restoration of wireless networking behaves altogether rationally, even in terms of officially expected behavior.

Re: [opensuse] Re: Re: Opensuse 32 or 64 bit decision
by Jones de Andrade 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

Actually, on Brazil sometimes it really becomes a dumb choice. Workstations or stronger machines per se, use 64 bits always, no brain. Personal daily use, also 64 bits *usually*. Specific uses, like some banking online systems (yes, believe it or not, some major bnk ones work on 32 bits but not on 64 bits, despite a perfect working 64 bits java environment for everything else, both online and offline!) or as sometime ago some webcams or printers (needed pipslite daemon, which is a bitch to compile!) sold here, sorry, go for 32 bits. PAE kernel usually, so that extra memory is accessible. Not sure how is the 11.4 doing with those issues.

[opensuse] gnome workspace switcher
by Mike 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

I installed openSUSE 11.4 last week, starting from scratch. So far, the system was running without error or problems. Today I rebooted and noticed the workspace switcher is not working beyond the one active window. I do not see my "blank" workspaces on the task bar. When I right click on a running application, I used to see "move to workspace on the right" plus other options related to workspaces. Now, those options are gone and I get the standard minimize, resize... If I right-click on the single workspace in the task bar, I can change my Workspace Switcher preferences (so it must be running), and increase the number of workspaces to 4, but nothing happens and the change isn't saved. If I right-click again, it is back to "Workspaces 1". Thank you for your help with this.

[opensuse] data integrity with ZFS or alternatives
by Vahe Avedissian 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

Hi folks, I am looking for a way to guarantee data integrity on my Linux box (11.4). BTRS does not seem to have anything for that. ZFS is only recently available natively (i.e. Without FUSE) on Linux. That port by KQStor is not built on opensuse. Has anyone tried to port it to opensuse? I am looking to protect against silent bit rot. I am looking for file or partition level protection. I know BTRS and ZFS are both not "mature" on Linux. Any alternatives othere than checksumming files individually?

[opensuse] VirtualBox and Catch-22
by Stan Goodman 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

In trying to install VirtualBox v4.0.4 (from the Oracle site) in my laptop (v11.4), I neglected to ascertain that <make> was installed, and of course it wasn't. This caused installation from the rpm to stop, leaving in its log that it couldn't find <make>. I cannot simply repeat the installation process because the system retorts that VB is already installed. I also cannot delete it and start again, because the system claims that it isn't installed, and therefore can't be removed.

[opensuse] kchmviewer scroll bar
by Istvan Gabor 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Hello: I am using kchmviewer on openSUSE 11.2 with KDE 3.5.10. The version of installed kchmviewer is kde3-kchmviewer-3.1-47.2.i586 from opensuse KDE3 build repos. When I open I chm file in it, there is no vertical scrollbar for scrolling the text up and down. I can scroll up and down using the mouse button or up/down cursor keys but I miss the scroll bar. Is it normal for kchmviewer not having a vertical scroll bar, or might there be a problem with my system?

[opensuse] bind dns propagation issues
by James D. Parra 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hello, I am seeing a major lag of dns details from parent servers after I've updated my dns server. Any suggestions? Updated my nameserver IP address and it was pushed to my secondary dns server, and although when I do a dig on a public dns server the correct IP appears, the IP is not correct at g.gtld-servers.net. When doing a dns check I get; <snip> Nameserver records returned by the parent servers are: ns1.musicreports.com. ['207.47.100.61'] [TTL=172800] <-- wrong address ns2.musicreports.com. ['67.192.171.18'] [TTL=172800] g.gtld-servers.net was kind enough to give us that information. <snip> Any suggestion to get the public server updated with the correct info?

See if Network Manager is installed. 2. If you had just done a kernel update, you may have to build your kernel module for the wireless driver again if your driver isn't included in the kernel. On my laptop, it isn't, so I have to go to the source files and make, make install, reboot each time after a kernel upgrade to get the wireless working. Maybe you just have to go through the procedure to reinstall the driver software if it is included with opensuse, like the bcm43xx driver. Maybe you have to check and see if the kernel module for your driver is loaded, and then modprobe it to get it working. 3. Check and see if the wireless switch on the side of your laptop is in the on position.

[opensuse] Behavior of Widgets in a Panel
by Stan Goodman 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

I've made a second Panel, at the top of my screen (oS 11.3, KDE 4.4), to use for housing widgets. This Panel is nearly as long as the screen is wide, just so it doesn't interfere with the "cashew", and its minimum length is just short of its maximum length. Getting the first few widgets onto this panel is very easy, and the icons are comfotably just adjacent to their neighbors. Then something happens, and succeeding widgets just pile on each other, making them all unusable. The two thirds of the panel to the right of this pileup are vacent, and I have not found a way to move anything into them. I have been able to delete the pileup, leaving the rightmost widget the "LCD Weather Station", but the Weather Station resists being removed, even when widgets are unlocked. Clicking on it with Mouse Button 2 (sorry, I am left-handed) does nothing. I would cheerfully give up this particular widget it is responsible for this behavior. Why has this happened, and how can I regain use of the remainder of the panel? -- 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

[opensuse] failures with 11.4
by Hans Witvliet 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Just mentioning, that i got two less pleasant experiences with 11.4 1) upgrade 11.3 -> 11.4 Just as mentioned on the list/wiki first updating the old version, next replacing all entries shown by zypper lr -u by their 11.4 counterpart and doing a zypper ref and zypper dup. After 2025 packages were installed zypper finished without complaint, gave a reboot command, and system doesn't come up any more. 2) fresh installation of 11.4 on a 1586 No problem with the graphical installation on the old via-box, however, on the first reboot it says that i'm either installing a non-graphical system, or that the hardware was not supported. Which is very strange, as it WAS capable of running the installer in X-mode.

Hi Folks, 11.4 is a great release in my experience. Congratulations to the devs and community! But after four 11.4 desktop installs I've finally encountered a problem with SD flash memory cards. The desktop is a HP with an integrated card reader. It worked with 11.3, and the access led flashes when the card is inserted as if all was well. But there's no indication of anything happening in the OS. /var/log/messages is completely silent and lsusb doesn't show anything.

[opensuse] 11.4 won't upgrade to 4.6 release
by Mark Misulich 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Hi, I am installing 11.4 on a friend's computer that had 11.1 on it, as a format and fresh install of both the home and / partitions. It installs correctly, but when I add the software repository for KDE 4.6 release and then do zypper dup, it goes awry. After the upgrades are installed, it won't boot to desktop (I had it set for automatic login). It boots up to KDM login screen, and neither the root or user password (Only one user on the computer) works to allow a boot to desktop. I have tried the install, then zypper dup procedure twice with the same results. The computer in question is a pentium 4 32 bit system with an nvidia graphics card. I installed the nvidia proprietary driver after the first install then did zypper dup. On the second install I didn't install the nvidia driver, I just tried to install the 4.6 release update before installing the graphics driver. Any ideas about how to get this to work? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Problems after 11.4 install
by John Layt 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Hi, I did a clean 11.4 install on the weekend as my 11.3 install was just to borked, but have been plagued by stability problems ever since. The Nouveau drivers are working brilliantly for 2D and 3D graphics with KDE whizzing along at full speed with no visual glitches. The problem appears to comes with the power management, where not only does suspend not work, but I get random crashes when the screen saving power management kicks in. Sometimes when the screen saver starts it just kills X and kicks me out to KDM, other times the screen powers down and refuses to power back on forcing me to kill the machine as it dowsn't respond to keyboard or mouse either. Before I revert to the NVidia drivers (and the different problems that brings) are there any suggestions of possible fixes? The next 2 minor niggles are actually carry-overs from 11.3 that I had hoped would resolve themselves in 11.4 but they're still present. The first is if I use Yast to set-up an NFS mount in fstab then on start-up openSuse tries to connect to the NFS mount _before_ the network is started. Only after 4-5 minutes does mount.nfs timeout and shortly after NetworkManager starts up to make the connection. I find it hard to believe this is the correct behaviour and that no-one else seems to have hit this? The second is X incorrectly detecting my Macbook keyboard. The kernel correctly detects the keymap as mac-uk and uses that whenever working in the console (i.e. ctrl-alt-f1), but once X/KDE starts it uses a normal UK keyboard. If I then go into Yast and run "System Keyboard Layout" X miraculously and instantly starts using the correct keymap without my even hitting Accept or Cancel. Before I go and force KDE to the right keymap, any suggestions on how to get X to do what it should? TIA!

[opensuse] Problems with 11.4
by James Knott 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

I've installed 11.4 on two systems and so far I'm batting 0 for 2. My first install was on an old Compaq. On that one, the display goes to black every several seconds. The other computer was an IBM ThinkPad R31. On that one, shortly after logging in with KDE, the computer locks up and the screen fades to a yellow green. However, I can log into the failsafe desktop or IceWM. With both computers, I am able to use XDMCP to connect from another computer. Both computers work with 11.0 and 11.3. This is the first time, in all the years I've been using Linux, that I've experienced show stopper failures in a distro and I managed to have it happen with both attempts. 11.4 has some serious problems that were not in 11.3. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Missing plugin for Gnome Music Player Client
by Bob Williams 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

I play my music via MPD, using the Gnome Music Player Client as the frontend. My desktop is KDE 4.6.1 on openSUSE 11.4 I have been looking for an rpm version of the gmpc-fullscreeninfo plugin, but can't find it anywhere. Not in the Packman repo, not listed in pbone.net. Does anyone who also uses mpd know if this plugin has been ported to rpm? It's certainly available in *buntu. Many thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't have anything to say about the server system or the devices, our customer designed the whole system. And they don't have problems, I think it's because they are testing with a single device. As far as I can tell, they get their files with wget. This is a logfile : wget -q -O /tmp/dayzero/packages/manifest ftp://production.promo.com/dayzero/manifest About security : that network has no connection to the outside world. So nothing to worry about. The main reason for the vm : our customers regularly ask for some server, just to test devices. If I have to provide real hardware for every project, I would have a pile of machines that aren't used most of the time. B.T.W. with server I mean a machine that provides services, not server-grade hardware. Out of curiosity : why would a virtual machine add complexity ? Once installed the guest behaves like real hardware, isn't it ?

[opensuse] 11.4
by Greg Freemyer 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

All, I guess everyone knows 11.4 is officially out. The repos went gold a couple days ago and I did a zypper dup on my workstation yesterday. I must say, the desktop work experience just feels snappier. I have no idea why, but just bouncing around in firefox, or dolphin, etc. just feels more instantaneous. fyi: I'm using KDE 4.6 now. So I have no idea if its a KDE, kernel, or firefox improvement. Good job to all!

Hi I have chromium running on 11.4 from the contrib repo. I'd like to have chrome. It's a faster and I could download it on 11.3 from the google chrome download page. For 11.4 I can't install it as too many dependencies are not met. Has anyone managed to get chrome on 11.4?

Hello; I have an old SuSE 9.1 CD that I would like to boot from. When I go to the Rescue installation it boots to a non-graphic terminal (I think run level 3). Can someone tell me how to start kde from the command line?
