[opensuse] eth0 and dbus problems after upgrade to 12.1
by Dave Plater 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

I updated via 12.1 x86_64 dvd and because I maintain multimedia, I included a few build service repos in thye upgrade. I used zypper dup from 11.3 to 11.4 without problems but this time there are problems which I assume stem from /var/run being a tempfs. I've searched threads on this list and factory list and googling only brought up similar Ubuntu problems but no real help. First problem was having to manually "ifup eth0" to get my network going, I've fixed that with adding "ifup eth0" to "/etc/init.d/boot.local" but the other problem has me stumped. As kde is starting it halts on a message box stating a similar message to this syslog one, clicking ok continues to desktop : pam_systemd(xdm-np:session): Failed to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory Thinking that this was caused by the tempfs I also created the dbus directory in boot.local but it doesn't fix anything. I'm surprised that no one has reported a bug and it seems I'm the only one to have this problem, it's maybe leftover from my 11.4 kernel getting mangled when I recompiled with certain extra cdc_phonenet options and then when I updated my non openSUSE VirtualBox-4.1 to 4.1.8 my network died. I fixed this with the 11.4 tumbleweed kernel. Please help, here's a section of my /var/log/messages with lots of the above error message and my boot.msg is at http://pastebin.com/Zpn9AnTp , I'm a bit nervous using pastebin for this so it expires after one day. : Mar 7 10:56:02 Arbuthnot kdm: :0[2184]: pam_systemd(xdm-np:session): Failed to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory Mar 7 10:56:04 Arbuthnot checkproc: checkproc: can not get session id for process 2396!

[opensuse] SAMBA problems after 11.3 => 11.4 upgrade
by Greg Freemyer 16 Mar '12

Lars, It's been too long since I troubleshot anything samba related. My clients can't access my newly upgraded server (yes its an upgrade to a year old version!). To keep track of this I create a bugzilla. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=751660 For now I just need basic troubleshooting advice I suspect. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. Here or in the bugzilla. fyi: If possible I'd like to figure this out over the weekend.

[opensuse] Question about Firefox v11.0 and Thunderibrd v11.0
by Basil Chupin 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Last night I was running Milestone #1 of 12.2 and did a 'zypper up' and had both Firefox and Thunderbird upgraded to v11.0. This morning I went back to oS v12.1 with the idea that this will now have FF and TB upgraded to v11.0. But no such luck :-( . I have the Mozilla repo selected in both 12.1 and 12.2 so why was a not-yet-released version upgraded but not 12.1? Any (polite :-) ) suggestions re this, please?

[opensuse] Dual boot ubuntu & opensuse
by Koenraad Lelong 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

Hi, After reading the threads about grub, I was wondering how I have to install opensuse on my ubuntu laptop. There is a partition free, but how about grub ? What information do I need to be able to make an entry in suse's menu.lst ? Or can opensuse's installer manage this by itself ? Then again, do I need to modify my ubuntu to tell it's no longer in control of grub ?

[opensuse] Kernel upgraded, trying to use Broadcom OSS driver after having used proprietary

[opensuse] parameter hostip on boot prompt does not work?
by Meike Stone 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

Hello, I try to install a system (on vmware) with autoyast. In the network, where the system is located is no dhcp server. So I added: hostip=10.1.1.1 netmask=255.255.255.0 autoyast=http://10.1.1.100/autoyast.xml to the boot prompt. The system was booting and started the yast in "autoyast mode", but got no ip address. I tried to ping from the other server, no response. So I canceled the installation and started a bash from the text menu and configured the ip via ifconfig. After this, I run the installation again. Now the autoyast.xml was loaded from the webserver and the installation finished. Why does the booting client in the vmware not take the ip from the parameter hostip?

[opensuse] Radeon HD 6450
by Michael Fischer 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

FWIW, this is all persuant to my threads "12.1 installation failure" and "Video cards and 12.1" of the past few days. Card is Radeon HD 6450 Got the darn thing to install. At the initial reboot, it gave up on graphics saying something like (sorry I didn't copy it down) "couldn't find a graphical interface". I proceeded as follows: 1) chmod +s /usr/X11/bin/Xorg 2) cp xorg.conf.install xorg.conf 3) startx (this got me started into LXDE - specified during install) hwinfo (the graphical'd version in yast) suggests that I've got a display of "ATI VGA compatible controller" whose driver is "Radeon". Indeed lsmod(8) shows the radeon driver loaded. It certainly is not mentioned in the xorg.conf. And fbdev (nor indeed 'fb' anything) is shown by lsmod. Xorg.0.log speaks repeatedly of vesa, but no module with 'vesa' in it is currently loaded by the kernel. (perhaps that's not the right place to look?) I notice something about a SAX3, but the repo is not displayed in the yast2 repository list. How to add it? Suggestions more than welcomed about all this. I'm off to experiment with things like specifying "Radeon" in xorg.conf but... *sigh* Michael -- Michael Fischer michael(a)visv.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE/Debian not booting after partition formatted

Hi, Yesterday night I formatted a partition (for data) from another distro installed on my system (Ubuntu) it was mounted at /media/data and now my openSUSE and Debian are not booting and are stuck at this error.

[opensuse] [A SOLUTION] 12.1 sound problems
by Michael Fischer 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

Seems like lots of people are having these issues. Posting this in case it helps others. My variant is: 1) Test sound in yast2 works fine 2) Originally, sound in vlc was fine 3) flash in suse's chrome (64bit flashplayer) and 32bit firefox (downloaded, same for the libflashplayer.so) both fail 4) Now sound fails in aplay/cvlc/vlc/flash 5) find the following url: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/multimedia/46820… and follow the steps to .. pulseaudio -k, edit /etc/sysconfig/sound and service alsasound restart 6) Now I have sound in aplay/cvlc/vlc... and flash - and simultaneously if I so choose. Other than the above, and my pains with the graphics card (nomodeset, etc.) I rather like 12.1 - quite snappy desktop experience, good software updates.

[opensuse] Unusual traffic through eth0
by Bob Williams 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

Last night, I noticed a regular pattern of blips in gkrellm's eth0 monitor. There were no internet active programs, such as e-mail or web browser running, so I started Wireshark to see what was happening. Apart from the expected chatter between this machine and the router, the following two lines repeated over and over, and it is continuing on rebooting the machine this morning: Source Destination Protocol Info 217.14.132.183 192.168.1.14 SIP Status: 100 Trying (0 bindings) 217.14.132.183 192.168.1.14 SIP Status: 401 Unauthorized (0 bindings) Is this entirely innocent, or should I contact abuse@Domainmaster (see below)? 09:21 bob@barrowhillfarm:~> whois 217.14.132.183 % This is the RIPE Database query service. % The objects are in RPSL format. % % The RIPE Database is subject to Terms and Conditions. % See http://www.ripe.net/db/support/db-terms-conditions.pdf % Note: this output has been filtered. % To receive output for a database update, use the "-B" flag. % Information related to '217.14.128.0 - 217.14.143.255' inetnum: 217.14.128.0 - 217.14.143.255 descr: Domainmaster LTD org: ORG-DL12-RIPE netname: UK-DOMAINMASTER-20000901 country: GB admin-c: PM3847-RIPE tech-c: SJML1-RIPE status: ALLOCATED PA mnt-by: RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT mnt-lower: DOMAINMASTER-NOC mnt-routes: DOMAINMASTER-NOC mnt-domains: DOMAINMASTER-NOC source: RIPE # Filtered organisation: ORG-DL12-RIPE org-name: Domainmaster LTD org-type: LIR address: Domainmaster LTD 9th Floor, Building 6 Harbour Exchange Square E14 9GE London United Kingdom phone: +44 207 127 9800 fax-no: +44 870 432 5505 e-mail: ripe(a)hotlinks.co.uk admin-c: DB admin-c: JO497-RIPE admin-c: PM3847-RIPE admin-c: SJML1-RIPE mnt-ref: DOMAINMASTER-NOC mnt-ref: RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT mnt-by: RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT source: RIPE # Filtered person: Panny Malialis address: DomainMaster Ltd address: C/o Redbus Interhouse address: 9th Floor, 6/7 Harbour Exchange Square address: London address: E14 9GE phone: +44 (0) 870 7878 975 fax-no: +44 (0) 870 7878 973 e-mail: panny(a)hotlinks.co.uk nic-hdl: PM3847-RIPE source: RIPE # Filtered person: Sylvaine Joelle Marie Lucas address: DomainMaster Ltd address: C/o Redbus Interhouse address: 9th Floor, 6/7 Harbour Exchange Square address: London address: E14 9GE phone: +44 (0) 870 7878 975 fax-no: +44 (0) 870 7878 973 e-mail: sylvaine(a)hotlinks.co.uk nic-hdl: SJML1-RIPE source: RIPE # Filtered -- Bob Williams System: Linux 3.1.9-1.4-desktop Distro: openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64) with KDE Development Platform: 4.7.2 (4.7.2) "release 5" Uptime: 18:00pm up 5 days 0:29, 3 users, load average: 0.23, 0.15, 0.14 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

The same bug is visible in a de_DE.UTF-8 locale. "How could I know?" By reading the bug report where this issue is tracked by. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735016 Can we all focus the bug tracking to bugzilla please? That's the only reason why I've taken my spare time to find the missing bug ID. That's the place the bug owner has the spot on. As the bug got filed against openSUSE 12.1 and the discussion¹ there also does not state this issue is visible in openSUSE Factory I've set To and Reply-To accordingly. Thanks, Lars ¹ http://lists.openSUSE.org/opensuse-factory/2012-03/msg00080.html -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
