[opensuse] configuring my monitor
by George Olson 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Hello again, Just trying to get my new monitor set up. I have a samsung LED monitor, but the automatic installation just put in some kind of default setting. How do I adjust the driver settings and find my new monitor to configure it correctly?

[opensuse] RPMDB Packages: unsupported hash version: 9
by Adolph & Sharon Weidanz 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

All... I have had a significant crash of the whole RPM system on my 11.4 x86_64 and I can't find the correct answer. Using Yast2, I was downloading all the files I needed to do in order to load perl-bootloader. Yast2 decided it couldn't finish the install and died. Now when I try and run RPM I get the same thing: rpmdb: /var/lib/rpm/Packages: unsupported hash version: 9 error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22) Searching through the web I've found cd /var/lib/rpm rm -fv __db* mv -v Packages Packages-BAK db_dump Packages-BAK | db45_load Packages rpm -vv --rebuilddb This was not successful Thanks to an old post by Carlos, I found the backup, but I get the same error zypper gets me: error while loading shared libraries: librpm.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Smart's answer is 'rpm' python module is not available Yast2 never comes up. Trying to reinstall python-rpm gets me nowhere. I really don't want to do a reinstall.. Since switching to x86_64 I've had more problems then I did with 6.3. Any help would be appreciated.. -- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes _.._ _ ."\__/"./`_\ _/__<__>__\/ jgs `"/_/""""\_\\ Adolph & Sharon Weidanz SuSE 11.4 x86_64 '78 43' Endeavour Ketch S/V Time To Paws -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] open directory from shell
by Tony Alfrey 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

Hello; Maybe a little off-topic, but any help appreciated. I want to include a command in a shell script that will make a kde directory/folder/whatever-we-call-it appear and be opened in the desktop when the command runs in the script. Does anyone know what such a command would be? Maybe it's more complicated that a single command since the focus also changes?

[opensuse] can't mount volume group
by Tony Alfrey 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

Hello; (I may have sent this to the wrong list earlier). I have two SATA drives, one SuSE and one Fedora. The Fedora drive has a usual boot partition and a second partition which is a volume group. For some reason, the volumes on the volume group are not active when I boot SuSE on the other drive. I want to mount the Fedora drive when using SuSE. I used to be able to do this but I had a bad crash and had to reinstall stuff and now I cannot mount the Fedora drive from SuSE I've used lvdisplay to list the volume properties and the LV Status is "unavailable". Can an expert tell me if this is the correct command to activate the volume? (all the options) lvm vgchange -al--available y /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 Thanks! -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey(a)earthlink.net "I'd Rather Be Sailing" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] QSqlDatabasePrivate

Looking at the message after I have used akonadiconsol I am a little concerned. I says: QSqlDatabasePrivate::removeDatabase: connection 'qt_sql_default_connection' is still in use, all queries will cease to work. No idea what and if I have to do anything. Can somebody inform me about this instruction. Just delete? Or what?

[opensuse] Re: [opensuse-offtopic] Good tutorials on using GnuPG to sign emails?

In fact, the initialism GPG being similar in form to PGP makes clear the fact that GPG has the same purpose as PGP, and that's a GOOOD thing. This is only confusing for people who don't bother to pay attention, so start paying attention, and then you won't be confused. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] CPU Pegging out at 99%
by Jim Flanagan 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

Something is pegging my CPU at 99%. Top shows dbus-daemon. When this happens no other programs will launch. Existing running programs are very sluggish. How can I determine what is causing this? It occurs every few days. Running 11.4 KDE on a clean install. Switching to runelvel 3 does not cure the issue, only a reboot. This does not make sense to me.
