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] installation error
by Fr David Ousley 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Started to intall 11.4 on a new laptop with Windows 7 pre-installed. Installation from DVD downloaded (MDsum checked). After the various choices of partioning and software (accepted defaults for partionning and mostly for software), when installation begins, it stops almost immediately with: failure occurred during following action: creating volume /dev/sd7. System error code was: -1007 sda7 was to be the swap; sda8 root (ext4), and sd9 home (ext4). sda1 is Windows/C; sda2 is Windows/D. I suspect the reason for using 7, 8, and 9 is that this is the third try, and that the first one set up 3,4 and 5. The Windows partition appears to have been correctly shrunk, and Windows will still boot. The installation suggests these three linux partitions be set up (and gives me the chace to alter them), so my guess is that there is space there but unpartitioned. When the error is presented, it asks if I want to go ahead anyway: so far I have said no. Machine specs: Intel mobile i5-241M 2.3Ghz; NVIDIA GT 555M 2GB PCIe; 8 GB DDR-3 1333; motherboard: Intel HM65 Express Chipset Mainboard. Suggestions?

[opensuse] 11.4 problems: Kdm Sound temprature
by Anton Aylward 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

Now I have a bootable kernel I have worked though matters with 11.4 All the personal config came though intact :-) A lot of the system config has been altered and I'm not sure if that is just 11.3/11.4 differences or what. These are the problems I see now 1. KDM does not work. The greeter fails. The log file reads X.Org X Server 1.9.3 Release Date: 2010-12-13 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX Current Operating System: Linux BigBoy 2.6.37.6-0.5-pae #1 SMP 2011-04-25 21:48:33 +0200 i686 Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda3 resume=/dev/sda2 splash=silent quiet PROFILE=default vga=0x317 Build Date: 22 February 2011 10:15:34PM Current version of pixman: 0.20.0 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

I can start it with 'startx' from the command line under both the root account and my personal account and with a few oddities (see later) it works. I don't know what to make of that message or how to proceed. 2. Lots of odd errors in config files Many things started from the command line produce stuff like this kbuildsycoca4(4522)/kdecore (services) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/applications/YaST2/inetd.desktop" has Type= "Application" but also has a X-KDE-Library key.

Please fix your file. 3. Latency on menubar Just about every application, thunderbird & firefox in particular, but all the KDE applications as well, have a delay when top menubar items are clicked. I am used to this on LiveCD where the system has to drag in the relevant stuff from the CD but not on a real system. The KDE applications seem to cache items, the GTK applications don't seem to. 4. No sound. Sound has stopped working. Testing with LiveCD tells me its not a hardware problem The mixer icon doesn't appear in the system tray on starting KDE4 and when it is started everything is set to zero. Even then sound isn't working.

[opensuse] Mouse hangs very frequently (CPU usage?) system 100% unusable
by Stan Goodman 09 Jul '11

09 Jul '11

The system is desktop v11.3, KDE v4.4 Because of the behavior, I do not see how I could approach diagnosis, even if I had a clue what to do. Sometime, wiggling the mouse cursor a bit makes the mouse responsive for a few seconds. When that doesn't work, sometimes letting it sit for a half hour or so frees it.

Any recommendation where I could buy a nice one? Thanks a lot!

[opensuse] Warning - update to tbird 5.0.1 on Arch breaks pop access
by David C. Rankin 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Guys, Just a heads up. On Arch, the update to thunderbird-5.0-1-x86_64 breaks pop account access. The pop server does not access the password communication resulting in the following error: Please send PASS command It is repeatedly displayed and no matter whether you enter your password manually or hit 'retry', you will not get access to your pop account. Downgrading to thunderbird-3.1.11-1 fixed the problem. Don't know if it is a generic tbird problem, or just an Arch issue, but I thought I would drop a line to make sure the SuSE packages test this issue before putting the rpms out. -- David C.

For me the need was to have multiple monitors controlled from a single PC. My solution was to use several PCs, each with a single monitor, connected to a local network. I use on the main PC synergy server and on all the others PCs synergy client to control with the same keyboard and mouse all PCs. Then ssh - X toward the main PC and launch remotely the applications I need. So, a cheap multiple display solution with single output video cards :) Bogdan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Initial Boot Failure
by Jack McKinney 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

I am not experienced with Linux and this is my first attempt to load SUSE. I downloaded the 32 bit version of the full DVD using bit torrent and burned a DVD. I installed on my old Gateway with P-486 running 3 GHz with 2 gig of memory. The install used the recommended partitioning and appeared to run normally except that the re-boot to the hard drive failed. (Note: The onscreen text did not say to remove the DVD as stated in step 6 of the installation guide.) It displayed the green screen with the logo in the center. The system did not respond to any input. I did not record the time but the green screen was up for more than 5 minutes before I forced a shutdown. The system was not connected to my network and the only failures I noted on the BW list was network connection were not established. I restarted from the DVD and ran disk validation (100%), then reran the installation with the same results described above. This time I left the green screen up for at least 30 minutes to be sure some long running process could complete. I removed the DVD, forced the shutdown and re-stared the system. This time YaST2 automatic configuration started but did not run to completion, ending with the system stalled and not responding to any input. So far, I have found no hints in the online information other than to re-burn the DVD at a slower speed. I did a re-download of openSUSE-11.4-DVD-i586.iso using FinalTorrent, validated the both MD5 and sha1 checksum , burned a DVD but could not control the speed, validated the burn, verified the media before running a complete install. YaST2 stopped once during package install but loaded the file after the retry. The system was connected to the network for this installation. System restart appeared to run normally up to about 3/4 of the progress bar. I forced the system to power down after about an hour at this point. I have photos of most of the screens presented in the installation. Any additional suggestions or recommendations? Any suggestions on how to research this issue (search terms)? -- Jack D.

[opensuse] Wireless disconnecting
by Mark Misulich 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Hi, I had a problem with Opensuse 11.4 and kde 4 using the plasmoid-network management to connect to a hotel wireless network last night. I am in a different city now so I can't do any testing, but perhaps someone may be able to figure out what was happening and help me out anyways. I tried to listen to streaming audio on two different sites yesterday evening, using gmplayer, vlc, or embedded flash player in the web browser (Firefox 5.0 and Opera). About every couple of minutes to every thirty seconds the players would stop playing after dropping the stream, and I would have to restart the players. I never lost connection to the hotel router with the network management. After about a half hour of messing with it, I finally gave up and went to Win7 and WinMedia Player. No problems with it, no interruptions. Anyone have an idea what was happening and how to fix it in Opensuse? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Unwanted autologin with no password after power failure
by Mike Grau 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Howdy folks, I had a power failure here. Afterwards I powered up the machine and it came up, but failed to start the graphics, or at any rate I was at the text console -- no login screen. As root I "init 3" then "init 5" with no apparent affect. I then did "init 6". Now when the machine comes up, the login screen is bypassed and I (not root) am automatically logged on without a password. Management is less than thrilled, but nevertheless somewhat excited. Looking at the Login Manager, neither Auto-Login nor Password-Less Logins is enabled. I enabled these, saved and exited the Login Manager, and then went back in and un-enabled them, saved and exited. No difference. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get back to a login screen at boot? openSUSE 11.3 Linux 2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop x86_64 KDM 4.4.4-6.1.1 libkde4 4.4.4-3.1.1 Thanks! - Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Router? Splitter?...
by Insomniac 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Hi all, I'm looking into getting satellite internet, since all the dial-up ISP's are making it harder and harder for me to stay online the amount of time that I do (I'm disabled and being on the computer is all I have to keep myself occupied and from going insane with nothing to do). My mom will also be sharing the satellite hookup too, so we only have to pay for one modem etc. My question is: What would be best to use so that all I have to do is run a cable from her computer and one from my computer to the modem. I mean, how should I set it up so that both of us can use the same, single satellite modem? What would be best, and most importantly, easiest? Also, will our opensuse 11.3 pick up this new connection readily? Or will I have to do a bunch of cli stuff and wondering what and how to get connected? Any advice and help with this is greatly appreciated.

[opensuse] EliteBook 8460w, openSuSE 11.4 and graphics card driver
by Peter 28 Jun '11

I have been given a HP EliteBook 8460w, and I have made it dual boot with openSuSE 11.4 64-bit, but there is no working driver for the graphics card, AMD FirePro M3900 Mobility. I have visited the AMD web site looking for a driver, but they pointed me to HP, who only have drivers for SuSE Linux SLED 11 SP1 (2.6.32.12 Kernel), and having spent time on the phone with HP, they suggested getting back to AMD. Does anyone have any suggestions to get a driver for this graphics card that will run under 11.4.

Has somebody put more changes into such a work and than found out that it was more than it should be? Is there place where I could look into the kitchen?

[opensuse] "Disabling IRQ #16" and Video Slow-Down
by Randall R Schulz 25 Jun '11

25 Jun '11

Hi, In my new openSUSE 11.4 I'm noticing a couple of odd phenomena, which seem to be correlated: 1) Every once in a while, there's a system message (displayed in shell windows and in the notifier widget) that says "... Disabling IRQ #16" (I believe I've seen it say #19, too). 2) After a few of these "... Disabling ..." messages, I notice that drawing becomes slow and sluggish and is most noticeable with some of the desktop effects like fading in and out and the rotating cube desktop switching animation. By some measures the graphics slow-down is extreme. The glxgears FPS number drops by a factor of well over 1000! Then, while running glxgears (as it showed me FPS numbers in the teens), KWin suspended desktop effects. At that point, glxgears returned to FPS numbers in the 25,000 range. If I then re-enable desktop effects, glxgears' FPS numbers again drop into the teens (and KWin suspends desktop effects). The first time this happened, I logged out and back in (knowing this causes the Xorg server to restart and the nVidia drivers to presumably be closed and reopened) and normal performance was restored for about 3 1/2 hours before the slow-down reoccurred. This system has new hardware, all of it very fast. The video card is an nVidia GTX 550 Ti with 1 GB of RAM. I installed the proprietary nVidia driver from the repository linked from opensuse.org's Additional Repositories page. Any hints or suggestions for diagnosing this problem?

I have two main boxes running, 11.2 which I replaced and relegated to server status for email and http, and 11.4 as main box. I ssh into the 11.2 box to read mail and administer ... I can access 11.2 from 11.4 and my wife's win7 (cygwin w/X and/or putty) box via ssh -X w/o any problem. Can run X apps w/o a problem.

[opensuse] opensuse with JMicron JMB362/363 Fake RAID (SoftRAID) driver
by LLLActive＠gmx.net 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hi all, I just got a JMicron JMB362/363 Fake RAID (SoftRAID). I searched the internet, and most are M$ drivers, and some mention Linux. None seem to have a real good idea how to get it to work properly. Does anyone know of a method to let opensuse read the hardware raid setup off of the controller, and not the separate drives. I have: uname -a Linux Linux 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-04-25 21:48:33 +0200 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux on an AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+ CPU and a GA-K8N Ultra-9 Mobo. There is a Sil 3114 SATA controller on the Moboard, also with Softraid problems. Another onboard SATA controller NVIDIA CK804 SATA RAID has the same problem. In the past, drivers could be installed in windows with the F6 to load drivers. How is it done in a Linux install? :-) -- NEU: FreePhone - kostenlos mobil telefonieren!

[opensuse] Ontological Relevance
by Anton Aylward 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

We've argued about Akonadi/Nepomuk/Strigi a few times. I have friend who was loudly about "Ontological Systems" and claim that this represents one, but I have my doubts. I regularly kill off the akonadi process tree after booting. I'd like to 'zypper remove' it, but it seems to bound in to other things. But I use Thunderbird and Firefox and Lightening so the PIM side of it is no use to me. I use thunderbird via an IMAP link to my mail hub on a separate machine. I have no use for KDE PIM and don't foresee every having any. The closest use I can see is my directory of PDFs. I save interesting web pages as PDFs (firefox is nice about that) Right now I use mindmaps with short descriptions and links to navigate that. A Wiki might be nicer but I'd still want graphical support. But I have an ordered filing system and I remember where I put stuff! Its just that with so much of it the question arises: which has the most relevant content? I've seen many mention that Kfind (or find or grep-R) does a better job (though not for PDFs) and that is so for me for everything else. I've seen mention that the KDE development is drifting from user needs. I'm not sure it is; what I do and what I see in other parts of the system, is that things are getting too heavily linked. The architecture is bound rather than pluggable. Many packages drag in other packages that you don't want, aren't going to use, even when the low level code bindings aren't there. I realise that the semantic desktop is only a small part of KDE. I like the rest: plasma, the multitudes of improvements and new features made to the various individual applications. I like being able to show multiple folders on my desktop, and I like the changes to the widget framework. Is there no way I can decouple this? Why do I have to have all this stuff I'm not going to use? What has happened to my ability to pick and choose?

[opensuse] Samba & Windows 7 problem
by Anders Norrbring 20 Jun '11

20 Jun '11

Hi.. I have a huge problem with a Windows 7 workstation using file shares on my Samba server. When reading or writing files on a share, I almost never reach more than 1.5MB/sec over a gigabit connection. Hooking up an older Windows XP machine on the same share, copying the same files, I reach close to 65MB/sec. This tells me that the issue is Windows 7 talking to Samba, I've tried googling on the subject, but I don't find any relevant solutions.

[opensuse] Mount on demand with automounter
by Anton Aylward 20 Jun '11

20 Jun '11

This is a question that is ultimately about the automounter. I have the automounter working with NFS. My laptop can access my home directory laptop:/home/anton/server symlinks to laptop:/mnt/server/anton which has a autofs NFS mount controlled by /etc/auto.mnt that points to server:/home/anton There are a few more things like that so I can access development and documents and CD/DVD images on the "server". That all works. What I'm trying for now is something 'local' and it doesn't seem to do what I expect. I created laptop:/etc/auto.master /home/anton /etc/auto.home-anton and in that had a line /Downloads -fstype=ext3 :/dev/vgmain/Downloads Starting the automounter produced a slew of error message and they were about all the other file systems I had mounted under /home/anton And that line didn't seem to work, though there were no error messages going on. I've googled some and all I find about "/home" is mounting it NFS from other machines. I understand that. I've done that in other contexts. That's not what I'm trying to do here.

[opensuse] Network Manager / KDE network applet not connecting to unsecured networks
by Myrosia Dzikovska 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

I am running OpenSuse 11.3 with KDE4, using iwl3945 wireless driver. Several times in the last couple of months the NetworkManager refused to connect to unsecured networks. It's not every time - for example, it is fine with my router at home when I put it in insecure mode. But it would refuse to work at critical points when I have no other ways to connect - e.g., in a hotel or at a conference. I can't tell if this is networkmanager or if this is the applet problem. What I see in the applet is that I choose the SSID to connect to, and it pops out a "connect" dialog, but it does not fill in that SSID - instead, it uses an SSID from some other network I used previously. I fix the SSID to the correct thing, but then the connection is not established, with no obvious error messages. Not sure how to debug this, especially given that it happens in places where I usually don't have the time to spend in debugging (like during conferences), nor an alternative connection to google for symptoms. But these are also the exact times when I really need the connection :( It happened to me today, and I am attaching my dmesg & network manager log. Neither shows anything that I can see as problematic that I can see. Is there more that I can do to figure this out? Myrosia

[opensuse] ... Huh ..., my app-windows lost the frame with the min/max/close buttons?!
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

Hi all, Yesterday I recovered from two freezes by Gnome 2.32 on a new OS 11.4 within one hour. I decided to carry on with KDE4. I am not sure how it happened, but I noticed that the bar on top of the menu bar, actually the top part of the frame, disappeared. Some windows cannot be resized by dragging a corner ( I mostly drag the bottom right corner). I can only close windows by the menu - file - Close/Quit, or when there is no menu, only by using F4. How did it happen? Has it to do with desktop settings. Very annoying. Tried InternetSearch with goggle/ixquick, no clear answers found. The other point is, why does Gnome freeze up? I also tried a Gnome 3 installation - it just lost the whole desktop; I first suspected the nVidia, but it worked fine the last 3 years with older openSuSE versions. Got KDE3 running, but Gnome was dead. The Gnome with 11.4 is quite usable for me (matter of taste); similar to the MacBook I use as well. I personally prefer the Gnome 2.32 on 11.4 to KDE4 for its 'simplicity'. I will try Gnome 3 on a VirtualBox later - looks very different to previous Gnome - not sure if I like it. :-( Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Laptop does not fully boot
by Koenraad Lelong 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Hi, My new latop running OS 11.4 does not fully boot anymore. When I add 3 to the Grub boot-line, I see a number of services being started but then the machine hangs hard. The only thing I can do is press the power-button. AFAIK there was no change since the last time I booted it. What did happen was that I could not shut down. I had to press the power button. Maybe related ? Anyway, I would like to have my laptop back, without re-installing. What can I do to recover ? With a recovery CD I disabled the last services I saw starting, but this did not help. I have the impression it stops when starting the video. But it's the same problem when I start in runlevel 3. /var/log/Xorg.0.log is empty (0 bytes). Where could I disable the graphics video ? I have the ATI video drivers installed. They did work for some days though, but to eliminate that I want to use the framebuffer, like just after the installation. Thanks for any help.

[opensuse] Mac TimeMachine like backup for Linux?
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Hi all, til present I used my own script for backups using DAR. A drawback is that it is rather slow with good compression, and is useless if the last slice is defect. Happened to me twice the last 5 years. On my MacBook I have come to appreciate TimeMachine. I use VirtualBox and openSuSE 11.4 on it as host. Works quite well. Mac OSX 10.6.5 is not as flexable, even with the whole development environment and MacPorts, ok for administering other Linux systems, but my virtual machines are always backed up comfortably by TimeMachine. I would like to make a TiemMachine like backup on my openSuSE Linux Raid 10 server, in development to a data server, onto a USB-2/eSATA 2TB external disk. I have seen there are apps like Backupper and Flyback. Anyone using an app that works with the ease of TimeMachine on linux. Any experiences and comments are welcome. :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, I just installed OS 11.4 64bit with LXDE on a virtual machine using the LiveCD.

[opensuse] too restrictive limit on number of bridges

[opensuse] Create network bridge within initrd?
by Hal Martin 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

Hello all, I am working with some HP Blade servers that we are iSCSI booting off a SAN. We'd like to use network bridges for Xen DomUs to connect to, but currently SLE11 SP1 boots with only eth0 active; The interface was setup by the HP iSCSI boot ROM. Unfortunately defining a bridge in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-br* doesn't work because /etc/init.d/network takes down eth0 in the process and we lose disk access (/ is iSCSI virtual disk). My workaround has been to write an init script that creates a ramdisk and copies over the binaries required to setup the bridge. The iSCSI timeout is such that being without / for the 20 or so seconds it takes to run my init script doesn't cause the iSCSI initiator to disconnect. However, my init script is a hack; using initrd would be better as initrd is already a ramdisk. Looking inside the initrd for 2.6.32.36-0.5 I see that the SuSE scripts support bonding, but not bridging. Has anyone modified the mkinitrd scripts to allow for bridge initialization within initrd? I don't have much experience with editing initrd scripts, so I thought I'd ask on the list before I tried to patch anything.

[opensuse] GPT Partition problems?
by Frans de Boer 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hey all, I have a problem: I have used an GUID partition table and installed opensuse11.4. When I compiled a new version of OS (2.6.38.8 or 2.6.29.1) if stumble into a problem. That is, the boot process is stopped because it reports that the superblock has one block more than the file table allows for. It reports that the superblock states it has 4195072 blocks and the file system reports it has "only" 4195071 blocks. It reports this error using 2.6.38.8 or 2.6.39.1. I like to use the newer OS because of the cgroup additions. Using the MSDOS partition setup, it has no problems. So, only the GPT setup has problems. I like to use the latest kernel while still using the original software distribution. Since 2.6.37.x is not up to current standard - and I don't like o to wait another 8 months - I really like to use the 2.6.39..... series of kernel. Am I doing something wrong. or are openSUSE 11.4 programs just outdated?

[opensuse] xen vnc installation
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 11 Jun '11

Hi, I'm currently trying to install 11.4 via VNC on a Xen host. I already did that up to 11.1 by copying the 11.4 kernel and (install-)initrd to the Dom0 and use them from the vm configuration like this: kernel="/root/xenboot/vmlinuz-xen-x86_64-11.4" ramdisk="/root/xenboot/initrd-xen-x86_64-11.4" My extra command line is: extra=" install=http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/oss vnc=1 vncpassword=XXXXXX hostip=1.2.3.4/28 gateway=2.3.4.5 nameserver=3.4.5.6" When I try SSH instead of VNC that seems to work (at least I get an SSH connection but haven't tried the actual installation). But VNC doesn't seem to start up. I cannot connect to the VNC server with any port definition I've tried. (nmap was unable to find a port too). I'm not sure if the problem is caused by that Xen workaround or if there is any issue with normal VNC installation on 11.4? I'm actually wondering if I got the right initrd and if it includes everything I need as installation base. I got that one: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/oss/boot/x86_64/initrd-… Any ideas?

[opensuse] Why don't Libre and Open Office Merge now OO is with Apache?
by David C. Rankin 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

Guys, Why don't LibreOffice and OpenOffice merge now that Oracle has ceded the OO code to the Apache Foundation? Splitting developer talent between the two and introducing format incompatibilities between the two will kill one or the other over time. The document foundation is open to the idea, anybody got the scoop from the Apache side? I have had nothing but grief from the fork. Both LO and OO work fine, but when I can't edit an OO document in LO and have it open again in OO without a 'save as' to an older OO format in LO -- something is wrong. The community doesn't need this type of distraction if wider OS desktop acceptance is the goal. If anybody know any more on the apache side, I'd welcome the thoughts. -- David C.

[opensuse] GNOME+Compiz+11.4=Texture Mapping Failure
by Jim Henderson 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

I started seeing this issue in 11.2 a few days before upgrading to 11.4, and it still persists in 11.4. System is an HP Pavilion Slimline with an ATI GeForce 6150 LE video controller that uses shared memory. No setting in the BIOS for the amount of memory to share, though. Running GNOME2 with Compiz, I can start 3-4 windows (depending on what's in them, if I open multiple GNOME terminals I can get 5 open before the problem occurs) and then the windows start coming up with no contents. The contents are there (for example, if I open a term and tell it to echo the bell, I hear the bell), but it seems the texture mapping is failing. Sometimes this happens taking a window from windowed to full-screen. If I disable compiz, I don't see the problem, so it seems to be related to the way compiz maps stuff to the windows. I'd prefer to continue using compiz, though, as I use the enhanced zoom plugin on occasions where I've left my glasses in another part of the house. I applied the recent updates to the xorg server, and that doesn't seem to have changed anything. Prior to the final updates on 11.2, I didn't see this problem at all, and I had hoped it would clear up when I moved to 11.4, unfortunately, it didn't. Thanks for any tips/pointers/advice.

[opensuse] Risky ssh + sudo behaviour?

I wonder if this behaviour is a kind of security bug or something like that.

I think this is a security issue. An unprivileged user that knows that the system is maintained remotely using ssh and, perhaps, sudo, could keep attempting to use sudo until they gets it. PS.

If you have packages you want missing from openSUSE, you can very easily package and deploy them yourself, or just ask for help from the hundreds of buildservice packagers.

I had set it up just as my win7 Thinderbird 3.1.7 which works. after messing with it for a while I gave up and changed to kmail where I have the same problem. I am using the KDE manager. I haven't found any google items with this problem. Can anyone give me some help or direction?

I'm more-or-less in same situation. My personal dislike against Ubuntu is basically twofold: Some time ago somebody presented a patch for openssl-lib at the ubuntu community, which was accepted blindly. As it was either a rogue patch or a mistake, i don't remember, but it left all ubunty system vulnarable. The fact that a single person can do that is a nightmare for anybody who is responsible for a number of servers. I brought it up here, and marcus said that each patch is reviewed by several people before it is released. So no chance that it ever happening here. My other gripe is that certain security related packages (smartcard related) are years out-of-date on mainstream Ubuntu. Either you include them in a distro and maintain them, or you don't. But not offering a package based on code from 2009 (while many newer versions are available) and never upgrade them. That's is why i feel secure & confident with SuSE, Allthough i have to admit that ubuntu get's a lot of momentum.

[opensuse] NetworkManager update
by Roger Oberholtzer 05 Jun '11

On KDE 11.4, I am running NetworkManager 0.9.svn1192577-7.2. I see that there is a newer version available: 0.9.1git20110503-8.1 Is this a stable version? The version I am running seems to work for the most part. Sometimes the wireless connection is iffy. Not sure where the problem is. But if 0.9.1git20110503-8.1 is considered better, I will give it a try. It wants me to remove the package NetworkManager-kde4.

Hey, for all of you KDE3 hold outs, someone's finally taking the initiative to fork it to a new project: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/ So far, they're only maintaining .deb packages for Ubuntu, but if you want to see KDE3 live on, it might be worth starting a project on the OBS.

[opensuse] Several kernel modules not found at boot
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

On my computer I always had problems to get a read of temperatures, fan speed and voltages in e.g. gkrellm. After a lot of googling I found that there seemed to be a conflict in the region where acpi should do its work. In order to overcome this problem I had to use: acpi_enforce_resources=lax After the latest kernel upgrade of today I got five kernel modules which where not found. This was as usual. modprobe: Module pata_sis not found. WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'pata_sis' found. modprobe: Module ata_generic not found. WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'ata_generic' found. modprobe: Module processor not found. WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'processor' found. modprobe: Module thermal not found. WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'thermal' found. modprobe: Module fan not found. WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'fan' found. Features: block usb resume.userspace resume.kernel Still curious I tried this time to boot without "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" included and much to my amazement temperatures, fan speeds and voltages where all shown in gkrellm.

[opensuse] openSuSE 11.4 - Printing bug
by Johannes Mueller-Lahn 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hello, im really helpless how to fix a printing bug in openSuSE 11.4. I wrote an email to this mailing list, by the beginning of last week, but sadly nobody answered. While waiting for answers I was filling the bug to KDE bugzilla, but they told me, that the printing dialog comes from QT, so wrote to their bugtracker: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-19233 I'm wondering, that nobody else has this problem. We can't print to an additional paper tray, if the tray 1 (manual) is also filled. In the days of kprinter, everything worked. There must be something wrong in the printer command sent to cups/printer. My problem is, that I have 60 desktops, and nobody can print from KDE directly to A4 default paper (Tray 3). Thanks for any help. Best regards, Johannes Müller-Lahn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.4 Virtualbox USB broken by hdjmod-kmp and libmtp8 (Amarok)

Packages hdjmod-kmp-desktop and libmtp8 apparently break USB in Virtualbox under openSUSE-11.4. I was able to correct the problem by removing those offending packages. OpenSUSE-11.2 did not have this problem, neither does Ubuntu-11.4. It has nothing to do with permissions and /etc/udev/rules.d/XX-vboxdrv.rules, - I tried several variants, even logged in as root.

[opensuse] Ctrl Alt F7 does not return from tty to x11 session
by Andre Massing 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi! Finally after many years of absence I change from Debian /Ubuntu back to what is "now" opensuse (it was really a long time ago :) ) and let me just say that I am very impressed and satisfied with the overall experience and appearance of opensuse. But I have an issue with switching back from a tty session to the x11 session via CTRL-ALT-F7 key kombination. Switching from the x11 sessions to one of the ttys works fine. So I was wondering whether this is a known issue (I did not find anything similar in bugzilla)? And how could I easily access the keyboard mapping within the tty, just to quickly check if the keymap in the tty is the same as in the x11 session. I am on opensuse 11.4 with a macbook pro 6.2 and I remember that I had some trouble with the Fn keys and used a hid-apple kernel module under ubuntu, but as far as I remember the key mapping was consistent. (A possible related issue that sometimes that monitors hangs on tty after suspend to ram, not getting back to the x11 session) Any pointers to nail down the problem are highly apprecitated!

Hi there! The newest 270 nvidia driver series from nvidia obs repositories makes my laptop not returning from suspend to ram.

There were removed from the nvidia repos and at that time rpm caching on my machine was not active :( (Actually I would prefer to use the nouveau driver but the last version give me regular freezes after ca. 30 min of running KDE, so that is unfortunately not an option) Thanks and cheers, Andre -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] repository priority in yast (oS 11.2)
by Istvan Gabor 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Hello list readers: According to man zypper: -p, --priority <positive-integer> Set priority of the repository. Priority of 1 is the highest, the higher the number the lower the priority. Default prior- ity is 99. Packages from repositories with higher priority will be preferred even in case there is a higher installable version available in the repository with a lower priority. But in yast software manager when I click update for a package the selected repo has the highest number (ie the lowest priority according to the above.) Is this a bug or is it on purpose (that the gui interprets priority in the opposite manner)?

[opensuse] confusing scsi disk major/minor numbers in suse
by Youyou Lu 01 Jun '11

I am using suse enterprise linux 11 sp1. But the scsi disk number is quite confusing: the major is 259 and the minor is a large number with a stride 32768 or 65536。 I am working on a project to scan all the scsi disks and the open the disks. The way i am doing now is to construct a scsi disk list (this seems to work), and then to open the disk from the scsi disk list using the device number. But the member devt of device fetched from struct scsi_device.sdev_gendev or sdev_dev is 0. I am not sure about the relation of scsi_device, block_device and device structure and how to open the block device from the known scsi_device structure.
