Hello,
I had SuSE 10.3 installed on my laptop.
Backup of /var/spool/news onto some NAS was ok.
Then formatted
swap (swap filesys),
/ (ext4 filesys)
/var (ext4 filesys)
in the same size it was before.
No other special settings,
just the ones that are given and used by yast2 and
SuSE 12.1 and ext4 .
Installed SuSE 12.1 which was ok.
When I tried to play back /var/spool/news with
all the leafnode usenet news, after some time the
system said something like
"No space left on device"
:-(
The partition has exactly the same size.
With SuSE 10.3 there was no problem concerning size.
Were there any changes in the filesystem structure
of SuSE 12.1 and ext4, e.g. inodes or similar, which makes
/var under SuSE 12.1 run full earlier?
How can I solve that?
Reinstall with ext3 and SuSE 12.1 ?
Put /var under / and reformat /var (which might be tricky)?
Thanks in advance
ME

I bought a Seagate 2TB USB3 external HDD today and formatted 75% of it
with ext4 file system and 25% with ntfs - using latest version of Gparted.
My two internal 1TB Seagates are SATA 3 and formatted with ext4 except
for one partition (ntfs) which has XP installed, but which is rarely
used (it's mainly there to bring me back to earth and to remind me how
bloody aweful Windows is).
I use mc (Midnight Commander) 99.99% of the time to manage my files.
After I formatted the external HDD (as described above) I went to copy
files from my main system to the new external HDD - which is to be used
for backups.
What I found - and which is what I am now asking about - is that when,
using mc, that when copying files to the *ext4* formatted partition the
files where being copied across at ~80MB/s. The files copied over were a
mixture of ntfs and ext4 files (which I had copied from a collapsing
32-bit system to my current *Linux* system last year when I replaced the
old computer).
However, when I went to copy files to the *ntfs* formatted part of the
new external HDD, the best transfer rate I got was ~28MB/s - which looks
very much like what I used to get when using USB2!
So, why the *big* difference in transfer rates between copying files to
a partition formatted in *ext4* and one formatted in *ntfs*?!
What system am a I using? Look at my signature line; but I understand
that some brain-dead mail clients drop the signature line so for these
people with brain-dead mailers the sig. line is:
Using openSUSE 12.3 x86_64 with KDE 4.10.1 & kernel 3.8.4-1
Any suggestions, please, as to why there is such a difference in the
transfer rates between the 2 file systems, and how can this be overcome?

Recently my wife closed my laptop folding down the screen. When I
reopened it, it remained dark. Since the computer was connected to
other computers by NFS, I could see that it was still running.
The only way to have a light screen again, was rebooting the
computer. Is there a better way to revitalize a sleeping laptop?
Thanks in advance and kind regards,
Wolfgang

Hi
handbrake is compiled with all the necessary codecs, add libdvdcss and
if it can be read, it should convert.

I guess it had to happen some day, and it seems that that day has
arrived :-) . We have reached Windows standards were one thinks that it
is not unusual to get a system response which states, "Press any key to
continue or press any other key to quit" :-D .
Overnight (my time) the stable, standard, kernel was ugraded from
3.8.4-1 to 3.8.5-1 and so in my usual way I went into a terminal and ran
"zypper dup --from XX" [where XX is the kernel's repo number]. And I got
the message that there are 3 problems:
kernel-desktop 3.8.3-1 is not compatible.....
kernel-desktop 3.8.3-1 is not compatible....
kernel-devel 3.8.3-1 is not compatible.....
But wait, I have kernel 3.8.4-1 installed so why am I being told that an
earlier version of the kernel is incompatible?! I check in KinfoCenter
and it shows that I have 3.8.4-1 installed..... Strange....
BUT the best part of all of this is:
The message which zypper gives me after telling me that kernel 3.8.3-1
is incompatible consists of 4 options which I am allowed to select in
order to "solve" the problem of the incompatibility of 3.8.3-1. I can
either:
1 press 1 to retain kernel 3.8.3-1
s skip [this first problem]
r retry [this first problem to see if it has now gone away]
c to cancel [quit] [my attempt to install the newer kernel]
I don't believe what I see and decide that pressing "s" will get me to
an entry which will allow me to install the latest kernel (3.8.5-1). I
press "s".
"No way, Jose!". I am back where I started..... "kernel - desktop
3.8.3-1 is not compatible....." :-) ---- and so on, etc etc.
"Nah", I says to meself, "this has never happened before so I will go
back to my installation of 12.2 and prove that THAT works fine!"
"No way, Jose". 12.2 is doing exactly the same thing! But with one
variation:
in 12.2, KinfoCenter is showing that I have kernel 3.8.4-1 installed but
the message I get from zypper is that kernel (!)3.8.2-1 is not compatible.
We are living in interesting times..... :-) .
Fortunately, YaST2 still works as intended [I *think* and hope] and I
have kernel 3.8.5-1 installed in 12.3 and 12.2 as well :-) .

Hi,
I recently installed OS12.3 on a new laptop. Most things are OK,
espescially since I installed the AMD-video driver.
Unfortunately, I can't play DVD's.
I followed the wiki about restricted formats and installed the needed rpm's.
When I try to start kaffeine, even without a DVD in the drive it crashes :

kaffeine seems started but but does not do anything.
So I installed vlc, but there I also have problems :

Hi all,
I have just installed OpenSuSE 12.3 but I have run into this problem.
I have no problem mounting devices as root user, but it does not work
when I am a normal user. No password popping out the request, too.
The problem do not shows up in other two installations.
I have no clue about what could have gone wrong.
TIA,
Praise

resending, html denied me the first time.
so my previous install of 12.1 started giving me difficulties and I
decided to try an upgrade; I got all sorts of errors, decided to just
reinstall with the iso. now I'm left with a (virtual) machine that I
can't seem to update or even use half the things I expect. after
install the 12/3 OS seems to insist on ipv6, or possibly more
accurately refuse to just use ipv4.
I start yast and check network settings, I have ipv6 turned off, the
proc settings look like it should be off
codex:/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf # cat */disable_ipv6
1
1
1
1
1
and still when I run zypper, I get:
codex:/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf?#Bm9zypper up

add onto that the fact that runlevel 3 seems to no longer be an option
(if you install it with that set as the default run level, the console
never starts, gets messages about perl or something, looks like a yast
first run is trying to run, if you start with 5, then change inittab,
it ignores runlevel 3 goes to 5, anyway)

12.3 is, in my opinion a _very_ disappointing release.
does anyone have any solutions for these issues? I've looked through
the archives and did some googling and came up dry.
