[opensuse] Keyring LED/USB flash with Insignia NS-KEYXX10
by Per Jessen 30 May '11

30 May '11

I've just acquired a bunch of key-rings with LED displays for holding photos etc. They are USB devices, and present themselves as follows: usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3 usb 4-1: new device found, idVendor=0168, idProduct=3011 usb 4-1: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 4-1: Product: TP-6801 USB Chip usb 4-1: Manufacturer: technology, inc. usb 4-1: SerialNumber: General Purpose USB usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi8 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 3 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning scsi 8:0:0:0: CD-ROM Insignia NS-KEYXX10 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 sr2: scsi3-mmc drive: 40x/40x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray sr 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr2 sr 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 5 It seems pretty weird that the device presents itself as a CD writer? I'm wondering if it might work the same way as some USB (mobile-)modems - at first they act like a CD, then you poke them and they become a modem. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.3°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] udev rules can not be read
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 30 May '11

30 May '11

At boot time with my Desktop 11.4 I get following error message after which the width of my screen becomes a little bit smaller (1.5 cm) and halts. The error message is as follows: doing fast boot [Creating device nodes with udev udev[76]: can not read '/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules' And the boot process stops. Googling did not help me much apart from learning a lot about udev and finding a SuSE bug report [679083] which was in the meantime closed with the information that work was done to not write this error message in a newer version and the info that the writer did not know what caused the bug. I still get the error at booting and the booting process stops there and then. I can boot with the failsafe but would like to get rid of this problem. Do not know which part of the failsafe overcomes the problem. The proposal to delete above empty file did not help too because even without this file, at booting the same error message is shown. Apart from a bug report to bugzilla, has somebody any idea what is causing my problem? My 11.4 is zypper dup-ped up to yesterday. A reinstall of udev did not solve the problem. -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.39-31-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.6.3 (4.6.3) 12:26pm up 11:28, 3 users, load average: 3.21, 2.07, 1.23 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Conversion and Automation recommendations
by Duaine Hechler 29 May '11

29 May '11

Please bare with me because this will be a little long: I have an old (1976) slide and cassette presentation from Israel, that I want to try and completely update and automate. Things that are being done: - conversion of old 35mm slides to TIFF files - conversion of old cassette tape to mp3 file Things I need help with: - need to balance music with narration (currently music over powers narration) (Audacity ?) - cassette tape provides a "beep" on when to change slides - from another slide presentation, added more scenic & informational slides - how to add "beeps" for extra slides - now, the hard part, fully automate the presentation (however, do not have time to learn anything majorly complicated) Thank you in advance for any and all help, Duaine -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing& Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler(a)att.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home& Business user of Linux - 11 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] DAAP Server [packaged for openSUSE]
by Adam Tauno Williams 28 May '11

28 May '11

I have a 32bit openSUSE 11.4 I'd like to use to provide DAAP service to the local network. But I'm rather surprised (a) there doesn't appear to be a maintained Open Source DAAP server [lots of mentions of Firefly, which appears to be dead - the website doesn't even load - and no packages anywhere] or (b) no DAAP server in the openSUSE repositories. Is anyone running a DAAP server? What software do you use? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How do I disable dhcp 6 client
by Robert Schweikert 28 May '11

28 May '11

Hi, How do I disable the start up of the IPv6 dhcp client? The client is filling up the system log with messages as it cannot get a lease. I've set DHCLIENT6_BIN="none" in /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp in the hopes that an unrecognized/unsupported option would would prevent the startup of the IPv6 client, but this did not work. I also set: echo “alias net-pf-10 off” >> /etc/modprobe.conf.local echo “alias ipv6 off” >> /etc/modprobe.conf.local But that didn't do the trick either. Help is appreciated.

[opensuse] KDE Battery widget reads 11% w/ charged battery
by Jeffrey L. Taylor 27 May '11

27 May '11

My new T520 has been working fine with OpenSuSE 11.4 and KDE installed. Up unitl Wednesday, the battery widget in the panel read 98% charged. Starting sometime Thursday, it turned red and reads "11% (charged)". It continues to read the same after a couple of hours of suspend to ram and overnight suspend to disk. viajero:/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0 # cat info present: yes design capacity: 5616 mAh last full capacity: 5615 mAh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 10800 mV design capacity warning: 280 mAh design capacity low: 18 mAh cycle count: 0 capacity granularity 1: 1 mAh capacity granularity 2: 1 mAh model number: 42T4911 serial number: 56301 battery type: LION OEM info: LGC viajero:/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0 # cat state present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: charged present rate: 0 mA remaining capacity: 5615 mAh present voltage: 12549 mV Comparing this 6 cell setup to the 9 cell setup in my T41, this looks reasonable given the change in capacity measurements from mWh to mAh. Any suggestions on how to reset the battery widget? TIA, Jeffrey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
