[opensuse] mdraid/mdadm question
by Istvan Gabor 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Hello: I have several mdraid RAID1 arrays. At boot /etc/init.d/boot.md script runs and activates the arrays. It seems that it activates all the arrays it finds, even if they are not in the /etc/mdadm.conf file. How can I set openSUSE to activate only those arrays which are mentioned in /etc/mdadm.conf, and leave alone the remaining ones?

[opensuse] libreoffice base csv import greyed out
by lynn 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Hi I have a csv file which imports fine into calc, but when I open by importing it into base, I cannot edit the resultant db. I cannot add records nor fields. All options are greyed out. I've tried importing it by first saving it as calc and then into base as a spreadsheet but the same result: greyed out everything. I've tried deleting my libreoffice program and other csv files. I've added the libreoffice repo to my 12.3 install and updated but still greyed out. Any ideas anyone?

[opensuse] Patch for nVidia driver 319.60?
by Basil Chupin 11 Nov '13

11 Nov '13

I've checked the Forums but don't see the answer to my question: is there a patch for the latest nVidia driver 319.60 so that it can be compiled for the 3.11.x kernel. Does anyone know, please, if such a patch exists and if so where is it to be found?

[opensuse] GUI over ssh: is it possible?
by Ted Byers 10 Nov '13

10 Nov '13

I have a couple servers, using a KVM to have them share a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Alas, it looks like the monitor has died. I also have a workstation in which I have OpenSuse running within a virtual machine. I can ssh from that virtual machine to these servers, but I am not yet comfortable with using only a terminal to work on a computer (I did so decades ago in the days of DOS, but that was a lifetime ago, and I don't recall anything useful from that time). Is it posible to have some kind of GUI, either KDE or Gnome, that runs over ssh to let me work on those machines, at least until I can get out to get a replacement monitor? Ideally, whatever is suggested would be viable for both the Ubuntu server and the Opensuse server.

[opensuse] Kernel's set of files
by Basil Chupin 10 Nov '13

10 Nov '13

Am I correct in assuming that these files for a kernel should always be downloaded as a 'set' for any version of a kernel? And here I am taking only the kernel-desktop as my example: 1. kernel-desktop 2. kernel-desktop-development 3. kernel-development (from the no-arch repo) 4. kernel-firmware (from the no-arch repo) Reasons for my question are: * I use the ...Kernel:/stable/standard repo for my kernels and using this I updated my kernel to 3.12.0-1 this morning but this did not update the file kernel-firmware even though a later version is showing in YaST; * Patrick mentioned that Tumbleweed is using kernel 3.12.0-34.2 - which I just downloaded. But before installing it I wanted to make sure that I need all of the 4 files I mention above so as not to zonk my 13.1 RC2. Thanks for advice.
