[opensuse] 11.3 and Hard drives
by Chuck Payne 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Guys, I have update my production server to 11.3, I am planing to get to 12.1 by the end of next month. I am seeing one issue that I didn't have in 11.1 or 11.2, I have drives that just go away, I am wondering if anyone see this in 11.3. Because it's a bit of a pain. I thought I had two bad drives and replace them, only to have the new drives do the same things. This is the error message I am seeing...

[opensuse] Need help: I found out where s2disk crashes.
by Carlos E. R. 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm using 11.4. Hibernation, which has been relieably for years, is now crashing at the "Snapshotting system" message since about two or three months, after two or more hibernation cycles. I have hacked the suspend_system() function in suspend.c, adding messages that get printed to the screen so that I can see where it gets stuck. After doing the modification, system refused to crash for a week, till yesterday: finally, I got a crash after the "step 1.2" message: sprintf(message, "Snapshotting system - step 1.1"); printf("%s: %s\n", my_name, message); if (set_image_size(snapshot_fd, image_size)) { error = errno; break; } sprintf(message, "atomic_snapshot - step 1.2"); printf("%s: %s\n", my_name, message); <=========== if (atomic_snapshot(snapshot_fd, &in_suspend)) { error = errno; break; } So, it appears that atomic_snapshot() fails, and fails to report, and kernel crashes silently. What is the next step, what can I do? I'm no kernel dev, I need help! https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=765084#c5 - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse] wine app shows no text in translation pane
by George Olson 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

I am using openSUSE 12.1, on a laptop and a desktop (see below for system info). I run a Tagalog-English dictionary from lingvosoft on my desktop. Runs without a problem. Desktop wine is wine-1.4-2.12.1.x86_64 I tried to install lingvosoft dictionary on my laptop, new, just installed openSUSE. Wine version is wine-1.5.8-176.1x86_64. On the laptop version, the translated words in the 2nd pane are not there. It is only blank. I don't know if it is something with the fonts, or libraries, or what, and I don't know how to t/s to find out. In both cases, the wine installed is from the wine repositories for openSUSE. I had one suggestion on the forums to adjust the fonts in the application directly, but I did that and all it did was make the application crash. Any ideas? -- G.O.

[opensuse] OpenSuSE 12.1 Install problem on HP DL380G7
by claudioml＠mediaservice.net 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Hello all, Some problems here. Trying to do a fresh install of openSuSE 12.1 64bit on a DL380G7, the installation hangs with a black screen. I have tryied to do it with kernel safe setting, with no ACPI, and also in text mode. After the Kernel loading, in text mode i see some text, then a black screen, and it hangs here. Also, the Rescue System don't boot. Mem test is ok. Trying with OpenSuSE 11.4, it hangs on "ISOLINUX 3.86 0x4d643f2e ETCD". What is happening? Thanks, Claudio. Just a note: the system have 12 Network adapters (2 quad port, and 2 dual port). Can be that the problem? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] oS 12.1 firewall problem, internal zone
by Istvan Gabor 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hello: Now I have samba server (smbd + nmbd) running, I have a problem with firewall. I configured the firewall in YaST: added the string 'vboxnet0' to the internal zone which is not protected by the firewall. When I try to connect to samba-shares the connection is inhibited. If I temporarily turn off firewall in YaST, the connection can be made immediately. I expected the firewall not to block the inernal zone. This setup worked in openSUSE 11.2. Any suggestion? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Help with a survey
by Dominique Leuenberger 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hi all, my deepest apologies for spamming you, this mail is not opensuse related at all. (sharpen your knifes). My wife is currently finalizing her master thesis and is in progress of collecting data through a (very) short survey. As she needs a few hundred samples (due to various parameters in the test), she needs all the help from all over the places. So if you please could spare 5 minutes of your time and browse over to the site http://marina.leuenberger.net/shop.php and fill in this short survey, that would be highly appreciated! Also, feel free to spread this as far as you can. Thank you very much for your time!

[opensuse] Bug in Wake on LAN (WOL)
by James Knott 15 Jul '12

15 Jul '12

I've noticed a bug in WOL. The normal command is /usrb/in/wol <MAC address>. However, you're supposed to be able to specify a host name or IP address, to force a specific interface. This is done with the -h, --host, -i or --ipaddr options. This is supposed to use the destination IP address, but still use the broadcast MAC. However, instead of using the broadcast MAC, it does an arp to determine the MAC address, which will of course fail, as the computer is not running to respond. If the command is issued while the MAC address is still in the arp cache, it will work. Has anyone else tried this? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
