[opensuse] No route to Internet
by Anton Aylward 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

Since a recent update my laptop is no longer connecting to the Internet on my home network when it boots. I run 'route' and it tells me # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface fast-home * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo But no default Router 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 I have to put that in by hand. So, what changed? I run 'ps' and I see root 2587 1 0 07:33 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/dhcpcd --netconfig -L -E -G -c /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/dhcpcd-hook -t 0 -h Biglaptop eth0 Hmm. Man says -L, --noipv4ll Don't use IPv4LL at all. WHAT?!? -G, --nogateway Don't set any default routes. Where, there's the problem! So when did these creep in? A couple of days ago. Looking at my zypper logs I see updates/deltas for dhcpcd on 20110411 dhcp-client-4.1.2.ESV.1-0.6.1.i586.rpm and 20110415. dhcpcd-3.2.3-61.64.1.i586.rpm' # rpm -q -info dhcpcd Name : dhcpcd Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 3.2.3 Vendor: openSUSE Release : 61.64.1 Build Date: Mon 11 Apr 2011 10:05:03 AM EDT Install Date: Thu 14 Apr 2011 09:09:36 AM EDT Build Host: build33 Group : Productivity/Networking/Boot/Clients Source RPM: dhcpcd-3.2.3-61.64.1.src.rpm Size : 94678 License: GPLv2+ Signature : RSA/8, Mon 11 Apr 2011 10:05:19 AM EDT, Key ID b88b2fd43dbdc284 Packager : http://bugs.opensuse.org URL : http://developer.berlios.de/projects/dhcpcd/ Summary : A DHCP Client Daemon In there somewhere was a change to /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp that set # Should the DHCP client set a default route (default Gateway) (yes|no) DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUTE="no" Is there an rpm option to see when that change which resulted in the "-G" was introduced?

[opensuse] What causes the udisk-deamon to start at bootup
by Mark Hounschell 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

Short of removing the useless udisks package, how can I prevent the udisk-deamon from starting. I have a number of SuSE-11.3 and 11.4 machines all of which have udisks installed. Some do not have the udisks-deamon running some do. Whats the trigger?

[opensuse] www.open-six.com is dead
by Wolfgang Mueller 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

For getting support for 11.4, I found this text on the DVD box: | Please visit www.open-six.com/register and enter your 14-digit | activation code (see sticker below on this box) to register | your product. This will qualify you for installation support. Trying to open www.open-six.com, I got this answer from the so-called Navigationshilfe of Deutsche Telekom: | open-six.com | This domain is parked, pending renewal, or has expired. ... Since this mailing list is available, the installation support is no more necessary. So it is comprehensible that they closed their support site. But I wonder why they still print the text cited above on the DVD box and stick an activation code there.

[opensuse] Google body browser
by Roger Oberholtzer 18 Apr '11

Anyone able to use this site on openSUSE 11.4 with firefox 4.0 (from OBS)? http://bodybrowser.googlelabs.com/ I tried the suggestion about nvidia drivers (MOZ_GLX_IGNORE_BLACKLIST=1 firefox), but it made no difference. The site tells me: "Google Body uses WebGL, a new standard for 3D on the Web. Your browser supports WebGL, but WebGL is not initializing properly." -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] [Bug Squad] Gwibber crashes when adding twitter account
by Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

Good morning everybody, A while back I received a bug regarding gwibber crashing when one adds/enables a twitter account (on openSUSE 11.4). I tried to locate and isolate it and have since created a test package of what I believe is causing the issue. Unfortunately, it seems the original bug reporter is now on holiday or otherwise busy, and thus seems not to have time to test this patched package. As such I would like to ask you all, if you experience the same problem as described in bnc#681705 [1]. If you do, it could be of great help to test the packages I provide in the patch (an additional repository.. info in the bug report). This of course just if you actually see the issue. If you don't there is no reason to do any tests. Thank you all for your help, Dominique [1] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681705 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] FireFox 4 - Status Bar? which one is the normal good old standard status bar?
by David C. Rankin 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Guys, Firefox 4 is driving me nuts. What do you mean "there is no status bar?" Can't we just have a browser that comes complete anymore? Why do I have to go hunting and pecking through some list of available (and of dubious origin) add-ons just to get what has already been there back? </rant off> Which brings me to the point of this frustrating process. What, out of the miriad of add-ons, will give me the normal firefox status bar back? Thanks. Note: progress does not equate to removing things that work and are not broken. -- David C.

[opensuse] Screen Resolution
by Wolfgang Mueller 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

I have installed Suse 11.4 on my new laptop, an Acer Aspire 7551G. According to Acer's product description the computer has a WSXGA Display with 1600x900 pixels. My X runs well, but I have the impression that it uses a smaller resolution than 1600x900. So I have two questions: 1. How can I determine the resolution used by my X? 2. In case it is lower, how can I force X to use 1600x900 px? Thanks advance for you help and best regards, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] PPD guru needed - Sharp Copier - need to find a suitable PPD
by David C. Rankin 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Guys, This one will stretch your mind a bit, but I need to find the best PPD for a Sharp AR-505 copier. I have 2 sharp copiers, an AR-M355N (which already has a Linux PPD that works great), and an AR-505 that I can't find a Linux PPD for. I got the AR-505 configured in CUPS on my server as ipp://ip.to.the.copier/lp and I am able to use the laserjet 4 PPD to get it to print, but the margins are a bit different. I found an old IBM document that showed the AR-505 talked PCL5e and LPR: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas154255e0ec5a3c13f862569c10… There are a number of windows XP and Mac drivers (not OS X) available for this copier, but no linux PPD. So what I want to do is see if there is a PPD that would work with this machine better than the foomatic/ljet4 I currently have. Has anyone ever done this kind of creative mix and match of PPDs with a copier before? If so, any tricks, or is it just trial and error? -- David C.
