Hi All,
New to opensuse, I try to build the newly installed machine with its
current kernel version.
Here is the trail of events.
1) fresh 12.2 install
CY44$ /usr/bin/lsb-release -a
LSB Version: n/a
Distributor ID: SUSE LINUX
Description: openSUSE 12.2 (x86_64)
Release: 12.2
Codename: Mantis
2) Download 2 metapackages
patterns-openSUSE-dev-basis
patterns-openSUSE-devel-kernel
3) Downloaded kernel source thought may be they was there after the
initial install.
4) make source suitable for non root compile.
CY44$ cd /usr/src/linux
CY44$ sudo chown -R phi .
5) Clone initial config and patch CONFIG_LOCAL_VERSION
CY44$ make cloneconfig
CY44$ vi .config # set CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-2.16-phi"
6) Kernel build
CY44$ make
7) Build RPM
CY44$ make rpm-pkg
make clean
set -e; cd -P ..; ln -sf /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16 kernel-3.4.11_2.16_phi
/bin/sh /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16/scripts/setlocalversion --save-scmversion
set -e; cd -P ..; tar -cz --exclude SCCS --exclude BitKeeper --exclude
.svn --exclude CVS --exclude .pc --exclude .hg --exclude .git -f
kernel-3.4.11_2.16_phi.tar.gz kernel-3.4.11_2.16_phi/.
set -e; cd -P ..; rm kernel-3.4.11_2.16_phi
rm -f /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16/.scmversion
set -e; \
/bin/sh /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16/scripts/mkversion >
/usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16/.tmp_version
set -e; \
mv -f /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16/.tmp_version
/usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16/.version
rpm --target x86_64 -ta ../kernel-3.4.11_2.16_phi.tar.gz
rpm: --target: unknown option
make[1]: *** [rpm-pkg] Error 1
make: *** [rpm-pkg] Error 2
make rpm give the same results as make rpm-pkg
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Phi

Some package I installed made my KDE start using Gnome Tracker in
addition to Nepomuk. tracker-miner-fs is using a tonne of memory and
there are many tracker related processes.
I know I can try disable it through the Applications/System/Search and
Indexing tool, but I would like to turn it off automatically for all
my 12.2 machines.
Is there a config file setting that turns off Tracker?

I need to do the following, but don't want to switch to KDM:
Set this
DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_LOCALARGS="-core"
in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and also you have to switch to kdm.
(Or investigate how to pass arguments to X via gdm or whatever you use.)
When you have everything all right, ps should show Xorg -br :0 vt7 ...
-core. Now it generates core files on crashes. You can set locations
of those by:
sysctl kernel.core_pattern=/core
Is there any /core* after the freeze occurs?

Hi,
I'm updating a 11.4 system to 12.2, so the change of behavior
mentioned below might have happened in between. But I don't have
appropriate systems with intermediate distributions to check, so I
ask here...
I use autofs (a.k.a. automount), with an entry in auto.master
/net /etc/auto.net -soft,intr
/etc/auto.net reads:
* &:/
I.e., any host's root file system shall be available as an NFS
share via /net/$HOST.
In 11.4, this works. In 12.2, it doesn't. Starting automount with
debug/foreground/verbose options (or calling autofs with -m)
explains that the respective key (the host name) for /net is not
known. Well, it shall be looked up and mounted by automount, but
isn't... :-(
There are no further error messages in automount output; not
anything that would supply a lead for the root cause. I'm not yet
ready to debug automount to get further information. ;-)
I googled and didn't find any documented change of semantics for
autofs/automount. Is this an expected change of behavior, or is
this a bug?
Here's hoping for more information,
Joachim

Hi all.
I have just installed the 32-bit version openSUSE 12.2. I am facing
issues with installing the driver for Radeon HD card. I have a 6470m
card. I tried two solutions, and both of them failed:
1) 1-click installer for fglrx
2) atiupdate
Both of them resulted in loss of GUI. I am looking for a generic
solution which would enable me to install the driver on all
architectures.
Awaiting reply,
Regards,
Gaurav

Hi All,
I can't start xvncserver despite I did install tightvnc package.
$ cnf vncserver
vncserver: searching ... ^M
Program 'vncserver' is present in package 'tightvnc', which is
installed on your system.
Absolute path to 'vncserver' is '/usr/bin/vncserver'. Please check
your $PATH variable to see whether it contains the mentioned path.
$ vncserver
vncserver: couldn't find "Xvnc" on your PATH.

I am still using 11.0. For some reason, upgrades don't work
on this box. Another problem for another day. Anyway
I upgraded firefox from 3.5 which was in the repo to 16.0.2.
I did it from their site, not a suse rpm, because there is
none for 11.0 anymore. I installed firefox
at /usr/bin/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/bin/X11/firefox
Then I could not see videos. It told me to upgrade flash so
I did, from the site given in the error message. It is
installed at /usr/bin/flashplayer /usr/bin/X11/flashplayer
and /usr/lib/flash-plugin
KDE is 3.5.9
I still get the message that I need to upgrade flash and of
course, can't see any video such as youtube.
Video has been a problem. Firefox has shown them more
consistently than Konqi.
I may have conflicting or mixed up plugins and I really
don't have all the codecs I should.
How can I straighten all this out so I can see youtube etc?

I'm using profiles (scpm) in 11.4, and I see this line in
/var/log/boot.msg:
<6>[ 0.000000] Command line: root=/dev/disk/by-label/Root resume=/dev/disk/by-label/Swap splash=verbose quiet PROFILE=casa vga=0x317
However, although the choosen profile is correct, I don't know how it got
there, because the keyword "profile" is not in grub's menu:
minas-tirith:~ # grep -i profile /boot/grub/menu.lst
minas-tirith:~ # grep -i casa /boot/grub/menu.lst
minas-tirith:~ #
How is it doing that trick?

OpenSUSE 12.2
I'm getting messages like
Dec 23 10:56:35 madhatter netconfig: open lock for netconfig failed. Abort.
in my messages file. I put the following debugging in
/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/functions.netconfig:
function openLock() {
test -z "$1" && return 1
PRGNAME=$1
PID=$$
PIDPATH="/var/run/$PRGNAME.pid"
date >> /tmp/netconfig_debug
echo "PRGNAME=$PRGNAME, PID=$PID, PIDPATH=$PIDPATH" >>
/tmp/netconfig_debug
if [ -e $PIDPATH ]; then
# check if the process is still running
OLDPID=`cat $PIDPATH`
echo "OLDPID=$OLDPID" >> /tmp/netconfig_debug
if [ ! -e "/proc/$OLDPID/cmdline" ]; then
debug "pid does not exists; remove lock"
# pid does not exists; remove lock
rm $PIDPATH
echo "Removing lock" >> /tmp/netconfig_debug
else
if grep "$PRGNAME" /proc/$OLDPID/cmdline >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
debug "process still running"
echo "process still running" >> /tmp/netconfig_debug
# process still running
return 1;
else
debug "this pid is a different process; remove the lock"
# this pid is a different process; remove the lock
echo "pid is different process. Removing lock" >>
/tmp/netconfig_debug
rm $PIDPATH
fi
fi
fi
echo "lockfile created" >> /tmp/netconfig_debug
echo -n "$PID" > $PIDPATH
debug "lockfile created ($PIDPATH) for PID $PID"
return 0
}
and I get the following debug lines:

Notice how it is starting up a bunch of netconfig in parallel. Why is
this happening? (I'm using NetworkManager for my interfaces).

Well I tried for VNC rather than XDMCP.
I installed TigerVNC on my desktop and on my
mandriva-upgraded-to-Mageia2 server (thanks for the reference to that
solution!)
It went remarkably well. There's now a TigerVNC client menu item and I
get a window asking for the server and the password. After starting
(manually, I haven't bolted it into systemd yet) the server on the
server, I filled in the popup and LO! IT WORKED FIRST TIME !!
But I'm not pleased because it didn't really work.
I got the window from the server (ain't it nice having a big screen so
you can have an almost as bit window to another machine ... :-) )
BUT what was in it wasn't my desktop.
It was a couple of xterms with error messages about 'locale'.
I've tried fiddling with the ~/.vnc/xstartup but so far have had not
resolved that. Googling around has produced some examples and ideas but
none have worked so far.
If anyone has any suggestions I'm open to ideas.
Thanks.
