[opensuse] Dying SSD??
by ianseeks 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hi Does anyone know what are the symptoms of a dying SSD? I switched on my machine this morning and the system wouldn't load the GUI (kde). I took the short cut of whipping out the 12.2 64bit install DVD (well, after downloading and burning 12.3 RC on WIn 7 and producing 2 duff disks). When the installer checked for partitions if took about 15 mins to get through that section. Once the system was reinstalled, i went to the partitioner in Yast and the same thing happened, it took about 15 minutes to load up the partition data. I'm using the SSD as the root partition and its also booting from it. My home partition is on a separate but ordinary disk. Any ideas? I've got another disk ready if it fails. regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, everyone on this list is always looking for a office suite that works in Linux and that works well for office tasks. I haven't fully tested out the latest version of Softmaker Office Suite, but it seems to work well for everything I have used it on so far.

All, For a bug I'm trying to help test, they asked me to remove pm-utils and then hibernate my laptop? How do I do that? It seems to just run and run without pm-utils installed.

[opensuse] own environment variables in init scripts
by Meike Stone 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hello, I use the apache2 with vhosts. In the vhost declarations, I like to use environment variables. >From Apache side, it is possible and I've tested it. I set the needed environment variables in a own file in /etc/profile.d/myenv.sh. Start/stop of Apache after I've logged in is possible, the apache with the environment variables from myenv.sh is working well. But during system startup, the file myenv.sh is not sourced, and so, the start of apache failed. Where can I put my variables, so that they are loaded before running init-scripts. Modifying the init-script or similar files is not possible, because of updates. Thanks Meike Oh, I'm running OS 11.4 with SysVinit style. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Does the script contain the right info (like init info section)? Where do i put this file so it runs at boot, in /etc/init.d or a /etc/rc.d folder? I'm not the person to ask about starting scripts with the new systemd method. With the old svsv method, it was easy to run a script by including it in the after.local script. However, if those commands work manually, then they should work in a script. Try manually running the script and if it works, have it start automatically during boot. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

All, I don't see an application from Google to sync a "Google Drive" with my linux laptop. There are a couple of unofficial tools to do that. Can anyone recommend a specific tool?

[opensuse] "waiting for device /dev/sda5 to appear" when enabling multipath via mkinitrd
by Darin Perusich 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Hello All, I've run into an issue when attempting to configure a opensuse 12.1 system for multipath IO to an iSCSI SAN. I'm following the SLES Storage Admin Guide for LVM2 on multipath device, link below, and after adding dm-multipath to INITRD_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/kernel and running "mkinitrd -f multipath" I reboot the machine and get the message "waiting for device /dev/sda5 to appear" following by a lot of !!!!!!, i'm promoted to fallback on /dev/sda5, whether I select Y|n i get lots of !!!! again them am dropped into a shell. when I exit out of this shell the system boots fine. I've black listed this device by WWID in multipath.conf and check this config in initrd and it's set correctly but it appears as though it trying to do multipath with it. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what might be causing this and how to resolve? http://doc.opensuse.org/products/draft/SLES/SLES-storage_sd_draft/multipath… -- Later, Darin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Unfortunately next couple of weeks I'm way overloaded with some mundane :-) tasks, so I just cannot to attend to this problem as required. I've just hoped somebody knows the answer up front.

[opensuse] articles of this newsgroup are not grouped in threads
by Juan R. de Silva 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

Hi folks, I'm using Pan to follow a number of newsgroups. In all other newsgroups but "gmane.linux.suse.general" all articles are grouped into corresponding threads. When I select "gmane.linux.suse.general" every single article of each thread is listed separately. Thus usually I have a long list of "Re:" items. What's the trouble with this newsgroup? Why it is so special to Pan? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
