[opensuse] Xorg latest revision won't start - version mismatch
by Anton Aylward 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

After running 'zypper up' this morning X won't start. There in the logs is the reason: module ABI major version (8) doesn't match server's version (10) 1. I've tried rolling back but I can' seem to get the right combination. 2. Advice on the web is to 'rebuild' Well isn't that what the repositories etc are supposed to be for? So I don't have to have source and compiler and someone rebuilds and makes sure the parts stay in sync. (HINT HINT) Other than waiting for X11:Xorg to rebuild, what else can I do? /a -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] wake-up after S3 suspend on Asus M4A77T
by pmlists＠free.fr 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Hello, My system (openSUSE 11.4) does not wake up after suspend to ram (S3). Here the commands, that work on many other systems with Asus-boards, but not on the M477T: echo 0 >/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm date -d "now + 5 minutes" +%s >/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm s2ram -f Instead of waking up automatically after 5 minutes, I must press the power button to wake up the system. It's perhaps a kernel issue, because when specifying the wake-up time directly in the bios, it works. Where could be the problem? What do other users of the M477T board experience? TIA for any hints! -- Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.5?
by James Hatridge 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Hi all, Does anyone know about when we can expect the next SuSE to come out? Either 11.5 or 12.0 Thanks, JIM -- The US was colonized by the religious, political, economic, and criminal rejects of every country in the world. We have been carefully breeding insane, obsessive, fanatic lunatics with each other for over 400 years, resulting in the glorious strain of humanity known as "Americans".

[opensuse] HP Touchpad and SuSE
by Damon Register 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

Yesterday I read a Wall Street Journal article about the HP Touchpad. It told of how it wasn't on the market long and how HP slashed price to $99 to clear inventory. It went on to say that HP was going to resume (at least temporarily) the production. It seems they did sell out very quickly and no one seems to know when or where they will return. This made me think about a few things (not all connected with SuSE). Does anyone here have one of the HP Touchpads? Can anyone tell me about the WebOS that it has? Since this thing might be a short lived product, I would like to know if SuSE (or any other OS) has been installed on this thing. Since it might be that WebOS and apps to go with it will be limited, it would be nice to know that it could be used with something better supported such as SuSE. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903352704576540982671537062.h… Damon Register -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Recover Linux Raid 0 with 2x2port 3Ware Raid 1 cards
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

Hi all, I have an openSUSE 11.4 32Bit system installed on its own disk. Additionally attached are 2 mirrored 2-Port 3Ware raid cards, striped as Linux Raid, then mounted as /home/Data (ext4). The softraid was mounted after the OS installation within fstab, because I wanted Data to be on the raid and not be dependent on or be part of the OS FS directly. I've never had a softraid before. Hard-Raid recover is painless with 2Ware, and immune to failing OS. I got a backup of the 4 TB raid; it has 2 TB data and a restore takes quite a while. Now I lost my OS Installation, the disk is unresponsive. Before I go ahead, I was wondering which way to go. I am planning to install a new system and just hope the soft raid will be there when I partition. What should I watch out for? I have searched and read some ways to recover defective raids in the TLDP.org and others, but the raid was ok. It was a mount as /home/Data directory. I will mount it after the new installation as /home/Data again. Will that work ok? How does the raid-setup work? Is the raid-partition info kept on the disks? There is no controller with bios as in hardware raid to store the Linux softraid info. As far as I know, HW-raids save the raid-partition info on the disks and on the controller. How is it in softraid? :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ftp

I am trying to get filezilla to open up my website, but I can't and I think it is because of my firewall. Can anyone tell me, do I allow certain services in the "external zone" and in the "demilitarized zone" in order to get it to connect? filezilla doesn't give me any technical information as to why it doesn't connect - it just says it cannot read the file structure on my site. What services does filezilla use? Thanks, George -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Video clips on CNN.COM International and US editions
by Stan Goodman 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

This website is my source for foreign news, and I use both the US and International editions. There are problems with both, but they are different. The International edition is still using the video display format that has been standard for a few years. Example: http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2011/09/02/damon-libya- tripoli-security.cnn?&hpt=hp_c2 although there is nothing specific about this one. It displays well, and the only trouble with it is that it needs a larger buffer than it has, because it is interrupted every few seconds while it catches up. This is not a new problem, and has been annoying for a long time. I am still able to use this site. Is there a way for me to enlarge the video buffer? How? The US edition has two video display modes, a) the same as that described above (with the same problem), and b) a newer and niftier, apparently still experimental mode, which occupies more of the main Firefox window, does not have the buffer problem, and until a day or two ago was a pleasure to use. Now, however, no clips function in either mode on the US edition. Clicking on any link to a clip causes FF to put up a large error-message frame announcing that "The connection was reset.....", and the tab to say "Problem loading page". Pressing the Back key returns me to the previous (non-video) page. Presumably not every viewer of the site encounters this problem, so I would like to find a way to diagnose what is happening, and hopefully to work around it. Here is an example of a problematic clip, but again, any other on the site would do as well (or as poorly): http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/topvideos/2011/09/02/nr-suspect- urinates-in-court-trash.cnn?hpt=hp_t2 Firefox identifies itself thus: 5.0 Firefox for openSUSE openSUSE 11.4 -- 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
