[opensuse] openSuSE 11.4: Suspend to RAM
by Peter Suetterlin 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hi List, I recently upgraded to 11.4 (coming from 11.2), but now I'm having some major issues with S2RAM. It seems to work on first hand, but every few days it won't come up again. When I press the power button the screen goes on, and I can see some lines talking about enabling and disabling non-boot CPUs, but that is all. Doesn't react on any keypress etc, I have to hard-shut-down using the power button. This *had* been working flawlessly in 11.2, I easily got uptimes of 50-60 days with daily S2ram-resume cycles, and never ever had this problem. Today I tried several sleep/resume cycles in a row. I saw some message PM: Device 1-5.1 failed to resume async: error -110 but thing were working. However, related or not, when working with the machine (gimp) it seemed to fall dead. I could move the mouse, but that was it. No keypress/click accepted. Remote login showed X was at 100%CPU. I tried killing X, which did work, but left the system unusable (just black screen). Needed another reboot. Anyone having similar trouble? Or an idea what to look for?

[opensuse] Re: My Laptop is running out of memory few minutes after boot
by Jonius 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hello, I have hp Pavilion dv6-2165tx laptop, 500GiB, 3GiB of RAM, dedicated nvidia GeForce(with CUDA) and Core i5 processor L3 cache, etc. I installed opensuse 11.4 and running KDE 4.6 in my laptop, but every time I boot it after some few minutes everything the system used to hang, I try to find out the problem only to find out that there was no memory at all left even before starting any intense applications like virtual box, etc. I had only 50,000K. After some days i came to realize that KMix was eating memory everytime I boot my system (slowly but after sometime it may have more than 1GiB of memory), I also find out that tracker-..... (I really don't remember the last name as there are several processes wich starts with tracker that eat my memory too) also do like KMix, and they eat around 700MiB accelerating from just 100K. What i always do is just to kill all these processes and am left with no control over my laptop sound (only to use alsa to control manually using cursor after lunching the application) Eventhough am able to kill all those processes, memory remain is still less than 500MiB and it keeps being eaten to few KiBs. I would like someone there to help me to fix all these problems. Thanks, -- Jonathan Seni.

[opensuse] 9.1 repair
by Tony Alfrey 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hello; I have corrupted my root user so that it does not recognize my password (complains about ICE authority). I can log in as a normal user but of course, files that belong to root are inaccessible. How can I repair the password for the root user? I assume that it will require the use of the install disk to somehow "rescue" the corrupted password issue? I have a somewhat complicated LILO boot loader configuration that hopefully I can avoid destroying (dual boot with Windoz, and two SATA drive controller with MBR on the first SATA drive and so on).

The old scanner does 11 x 17 for some very old song books and documents that I have. Up until now, I was using it on Windoze, however, if I could get it to work on Linux - the better I'll feel. The new scanner (all-in-one) is my production one. Ohhhhhh, a thought just hit me - since I already have VBox installed, I could setup a trimmed down version of Linux just to run the old scanner. P.S. I could have sworn I saw, somewhere, a way to be able to do something like this side-by-side - in real time.

[opensuse] Almost tossed out a working hard drive - Dolphin.
by John Andersen 22 May '11

22 May '11

I had to copy a 29 gigabyte file from a drive in an external firewire (scsi) enclosure to an internal hard drive. So I connected the drive, selected open in dolphin, and dragged the file from the firewire to home directory. I did this multiple times, because each time it would get some distance into the file and start throwing multiple firewire_bp2 scsi aborts into the log, and the disk light on the enclosure would go out and many minutes later the dolphin process would indicate a read error on the drive. It also seemed to get progressively slower and slower probably because it was spending so much time resetting the scsi bus. Googling around there was some mention that Dolphin often had problems copying big files or many many files. Some of these are as recent as January. So I opened a shell and copied the file manually and the drive never burped up a single scsi abort, the drive light never went off, and the entire file copied perfectly in one go. So I tried again with Dolphin and got the same scsi aborts. So don't trust dolphin on big file moves. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Installation issue(s) for openSuSE11.4
by Marc Chamberlin 21 May '11

21 May '11

I have gotten to the point where I try to avoid using YaST tools as much as possible, but the one time I must rely on them is when I do an upgrade/install of a new openSuSE system. (Since the usage of YaST is deeply embedded in the installation scripts) And true to form, it once again proved to be a challenge. In particular, two areas failed badly on me this time, so thought I would report it. Let me know if these should be reported as bugs. 1st. The bootloader that sets up the GRUB menu's failed to find and merge in any of the menus from other openSuSE partitions. I had both 11.2 and 11.0 versions installed, in separate partitions and the YaST->Bootloader failed to find either one. I have a suspicion that since 11.2 was installed as an image that has something to do with the failure, but have no explanation for why it failed to find the 11.0 menus or create an entry for it in the boot menu. (When I was running 11.2, I could chainload 11.0 just fine.) I gave up on YaST, and simply hand copied the various menu entries from the old boot menus into the new one for 11.4 and all is working fine. 2nd. The network configuration got the udev names eth0 and eth1 assigned backwards to the two network interface cards I have on my system. Since that would have caused serious problems for many of my scripts/software, I attempted to reverse the assignment, once again via the Yast Network Settings tool, and found that so seriously messed up the network that I was unable to proceed with the installation and had to start over. The second time I just avoided trying to set up the network during the installation process, and waited until the system was fully booted up. Tried again with YaST to change the udev names and found YaST again became quite confused. After a lot of head-scratching and guesswork, I simply rebooted. That worked, SO apparently YaST has modeled itself after Windoz and requires a reboot now in order to get udev name changes applied? If so, then trying to set up the network during an installation process needs to be rethought a bit as it can cause a LOT of confusion!!! Just an FYI.. Been a frustrating experience doing what should have been a simple upgrade...

[opensuse] Okular not printing correctly
by John E. Perry 19 May '11

19 May '11

I just tried several times to print a landscape-oriented black-and-white pdf document (http://www.rev-a-shelf.com/Common/FileFetch.aspx?FileName=I-5PSP15-CR-R.pdf) from Okular. I wanted to print the second of the two-page document; I tried gray-scale and color modes. The document comes out portrait, reversed black-and-white. The printer is an hpC6380, with up-to-date suse 11.4, kde 4.6.0 release 6. I've kept the default environment throughout except for Packman and vlc. Printing the same document from Firefox in my wife's xp on a different computer results in a perfect page. Any ideas?

[opensuse] How to tell the kernel to _not_ find any SATA hard disks?
by Manfred Hollstein 19 May '11

19 May '11

Hi there, I need $SUBJECT for the following situation: Skype should be used as a from-time-to-time conversation vehicle, but as I'm paranoid, I'm not going to install the binary-only blob onto my real system. Instead I'm trying to build an appliance which boots off a USB stick and which will _not_ find (and potentially auto-mount) any existing partitions/filesystems on the real (hard) disk(s). I've tried to use "brokenmodules=libata" (incl. any combination of additional "sd_mod" and/or "scsi_mod"), but failed as the system won't boot anymore. I thought this should be doable with some kernel parameters at GRUB time, but I haven't been able to do so (yet). Does anybody know how this can be done?

When I do "mount" I get this back. /dev/sda6 on / type ext4 (rw,acl,user_xattr) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/sda7 on /home type ext4 (rw,acl,user_xattr) /dev/sda1 on /windows/C type fuseblk (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) /dev/sda2 on /windows/D type fuseblk (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) /dev/sda4 on /windows/E type fuseblk (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) /dev/sdb1 on /Storage type fuseblk (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) ############################### Right now my "/dev/sdb1" is mounded as /Storage and only root can use it. I want to change it from (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) to (rw,acl,user_xattr) like I have my /home dir. So that anyone can read/write on it. Could someone give me an idea on changing this? Thanks! JIM -- The US was colonized by the religious, political, economic, and criminal rejects of every country in the world.

[opensuse] suse 9.3 glibc issue
by aragonx＠dcsnow.com 19 May '11

19 May '11

Hello all, I have a strange question. I got some piece of software that was compiled on a different version of linux and I'm running into some issues. If I run the executable I get: Linux> ./SDC ./SDC: error while loading shared libraries: libdcmAccess4C.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory If I use ldd I get: Linux> ldd ./SDC ./SDC: /lib64/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by ./SDC) ./SDC: /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/local/lib64/libstdc++.so.6) libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x00002b5e38862000) libdcmAccess4C.so => not found libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/local/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00002b5e38977000) libm.so.6 => /lib64/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00002b5e38b8d000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002b5e38ce5000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00002b5e38df1000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002b5e3874b000) So my question is. Is there any way to install the dependencies (a newer version of gcc?) without anything else on the system seeing it? This system has been running for a long time and I don't want to break anything.

[opensuse] Setting files "hands off" for kwrite
by John Andersen 19 May '11

19 May '11

I have these monster files that look like text enough to fool kwrite into trying to open them if the user accidentally clicks them. Users running dolphin occasionally click to focus, and accidentally launch kwrite which tries to open the file, and since they are very large, they consume all available memory, and pretty much kill opensuse 11.4. It becomes so unresponsive you have a hard time killing the task, and even if you do, X becomes non-responsive. What can settings can I make so that these files don't look like text? (They are BRU backup archives, and the extension is the only thing that distinguishes them. Internally, they look like text deep enough to fool the magic file type determination). -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Does anyone have a copy? Thank you, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

In the manpage: ,---- | Macro Substitution | When accessing a user menu, or executing an extension dependent command, or running a | command from the command line input, a simple macro substitution takes place. | | The macros are: | | %i The indent of blank space, equal the cursor column position.

For edit menu only. | | %k The block file name. | | %e The error file name. | | %m The current menu name. | | %f and %p | The current file name. | | %x The extension of current file name. | | %b The current file name without extension. | | %d The current directory name. | | %F The current file in the unselected panel. | | %D The directory name of the unselected panel. | | %t The currently tagged files. | | %T The tagged files in the unselected panel. | | %u and %U | Similar to the %t and %T macros, but in addition the files are untagged. You | can use this macro only once per menu file entry or extension file entry, | because next time there will be no tagged files. | | %s and %S | The selected files: The tagged files if there are any. Otherwise the current | file. | | %cd This is a special macro that is used to change the current directory to the | directory specified in front of it. This is used primarily as an interface to | the Virtual File System. | | %view This macro is used to invoke the internal viewer. This macro can be used | alone, or with arguments. If you pass any arguments to this macro, they | should be enclosed in brackets. | | The arguments are: ascii to force the viewer into ascii mode; hex to force the | viewer into hex mode; nroff to tell the viewer that it should interpret the | bold and underline sequences of nroff; unformatted to tell the viewer to not | interpret nroff commands for making the text bold or underlined. | | %% The % character | | %{some text} | Prompt for the substitution. An input box is shown and the text inside the | braces is used as a prompt. The macro is substituted by the text typed by the | user. The user can press ESC or F10 to cancel. This macro doesn't work on the | command line yet. | | %var{ENV:default} | If environment variable ENV is unset, the default is substituted. Otherwise, | the value of ENV is substituted. `---- Charles -- "Besides, I think [Slackware] sounds better than 'Microsoft,' don't you?" (By Patrick Volkerding)
