[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
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

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.

[opensuse] USB serial port not found
by Robert Rawlinson 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

I have a system running open-suse 11.4. It has no serial ports but I have a USB serial port. For some reason it does not show this port. Does anyone know how to check what is wrong or can point me to how to discover or configure it to work.

In your situation, KDE takes care of personal automounts. This is well known and no surprise. I'm talking about installations where (1) no full-fledged desktop environment like the ones named above is used, and (2) personal and automatic mounts of inserted USB sticks are wanted. E.g., my notebook where I use fvwm2 and Emacs as desktop environment. ;-) Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod(a)acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
