Hi. I want to install a program, that I cannot find in .RPM. It's in the .TAR format. This happens when running make: make g++ usburn.c programmer_usb.c database.c hexfile.c calibration.c firmware.c test.c -m32 -I/usr/local/include -L. -lnsl -lm -lc -L/usr/local/lib -lusb -o usburn /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.5/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.5/../../../libusb.so when searching for -lusb /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.5/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib64/libusb.so when searching for -lusb /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.5/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lusb collect2: ld returned 1 exit status How to solve the issue ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

The reason why I mentioned by own experience is that the 1-click installation I mentioned above does just that: it automatically adds both repos during the process of the installation. And this 1-click installation fails because an error message comes up stating that there is "no valid data" - or some such words - in one of the above repos.

[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] Wireless USB Adapter
by A. den Oudsten 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

The Atheros AR5BXB63 802.11 bg NIC networkcard of my Acer Laptop got defect and I was advised to buy a Sitecom Wireless-N USB Adapter WL-352 to solve the problem. For Windows 7 indeed it was solved, but for 11.4 I got 802.11 as interface choice but scanning for networks did not work. After a restart I got Atheros Communications Inc AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter as interface choice, but scanning resulted again in nothing. In Yast Hardware scanning it showed up as RTL8191S WLAN Adapter (wlan1). Any idea how to solve this Problem?

While this is almost a week ago, for the archives: openSUSE 11.4 memtest definitively doesn't work on Sandy Bridge. You need a current memtest86+ ISO image, available via the home page http://www.memtest.org/, at least in version 4.20.

Can anyone shed some light on why F-spot does not run (even though installed) in gnome (I am using gnome 3, have no idea if it worked under gnome2.x)? Thanks if advance.
