[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. Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sat Apr 30 07:12:51 2011 (==) Using config directory: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d" (II) [KMS] Kernel modesetting enabled. No protocol specified kdmgreet: cannot connect to X server :0 There is nothing wrong with X. 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.

Consider splitting it into two desktop files. kbuildsycoca4(4522) parseLayoutNode: The menu spec file contains a Layout or DefaultLayout tag without the mandatory Merge tag inside. 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. This isn't a modules problem, the modules are all loaded as I expect. # lsmod | grep snd snd_pcm_oss 47823 0 snd_mixer_oss 16817 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq 57265 0 snd_seq_device 6646 1 snd_seq snd_intel8x0m 12017 0 snd_intel8x0 27766 1 snd_ac97_codec 106641 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m ac97_bus 1082 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm 88249 4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 21876 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 65966 11 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 6854 1 snd snd_page_alloc 8025 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_pcm -- If you lie to the compiler, it will get its revenge. - Henry Spencer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[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. Sometimes only the reset button does anything, How can I deal with this problem? -- 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] Why does new NFS client not configure"
by Stan Goodman 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

The client is on a v11.4 laptop. The entries in YaST > NFS client are: Server: poblano Remote directory: /home/stan Mount point: /home/stan/nfs/poblano (which exists) NFS type: nfs Options: default (for the time being) NFSv4 is unchecked Firewall port is open on all interfaces (for the time being) fstab contains the line: "poblano:/home/stan /home/stan/nfs/poblano nfs defaults 0 0" An attempt to write this configuration results in: "Unable to mount NFS entries from /etc/fstab" I must be doing something foolish, but I don't see it. -- 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] where to order the stuffed animal version of the opensuse mascot?
by Andre Massing 03 Jul '11

03 Jul '11

Hi! I have to warn out since this is a highly technical question :) but I would like to purchase a copy of the opensuse mascot (as stuffed animal). Could not found it at the official fan shop and I was mainly interested in a purely opensuse branded version. I remember I saw a picture once from some opensuse conference showing a cute copy. 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

That's what freedom's about. But I don't in any way advocate the use of software RAID -- I strongly discourage it. I think DM raid might be able to mount some hardware RAID volumes.
